Taken from Triple Crown Records
With their debut record Ghosts, out on the band’s imprint 4Never Records through Triple Crown, The Gay Blades take their T. Rex/Bill Murray inspired live show and add more texture and color with the inclusion of keys, synths, strings, harmony and even bass (despite their mantra of “BUCK FASS”.) Ten eccentric and trashy pop songs scream for your attention – each one filled with curious wordplay and tireless metaphor. In “Dog Day Afternoon”, our hero, Clark Westfield takes hostages after a bank robbery goes awry in an attempt to win our affection. In “Why Can’t I Grow A Beard?” he takes cues from his idol, Brian Wilson, locking himself inside for years, becoming the recluse he knows he never could be. In “Robots Can Fuck Your Shit Up” we learn that robots have feelings too. “O Shot”, the record’s stand out track and first single, is all about drummer Puppy Mills’ glamorous and propulsive drums, which result in sound that‘s more Marc Bolan than Jack White, more Stooges than Eagles of Death Metal, more JSBX than Electric Six. New record Savages out now!
Vuvuzela is Victorian Music Box meets Carnival music in a 5 piece band consisting of Harp, Upright Bass, Piano, Accordion, and Drums. Art rock meets the death waltz for this truly unique musical experience. Comprised of Josh Benash and James O’Keeffe of Kiss Kiss fame, Vuvuzela has also been described as chamber music for the aching rockstar.
Hannibal Montana is a Post-Rock trio of multi-instrumentalists from New York State. All music is composed and arranged collaboratively by Ben Backus, Lucas Brode and Eric Castillo. Hannibal Montana’s self-titled debut full-length album is available for stream on their website and download as of June 1st, 2010 through their bandcamp page.
