just downloaded a sample off their website. Sounds sweet. More bands these days should have an organ player.

I have both their albums. Saw 'em last year at The Khyber. They are just as good live...if not better. |

I had no idea that anyone here would like them. I'm such a bad judge about stuff like that...I have no idea what people will like.
Look, the kind of music that the Deadstring Brothers play....there's about a hundred bands out there that play in a similar style. Bands that while not really "Country" or "Americana", still have that down home feel to them.
When you are ready for "If you like the Deadstring Brothers then you might like....", lemme know. There's a whole scene that the Deadstrings Bros. are a part of.
For something completely different, here's two for ya that I'm currently ga-ga over.
Len Price 3. No one in the band is actually named Len Price. Kick ass Medway powerpop. They remind me a lot of The Hoodoo Gurus. The album is called "Chinese Burn". I've had it in heavy rotation since I got it at the end of June. It is infectiously catchy.
Radio Birdman. They were the Aussie answer to the MC5 and The Stooges. The guy that wrote most of their songs was from Detroit...he was in Oz going to med school. They never toured the US, and broke up in 1979. Their record, Radios Appear, was released here in the US, but with no tour and no promotion, it went under the radar and into the abyss. A second album, Living Eyes, was put out three years after they broke up. Sub Pop put out a fantastic "Essential" album a few years ago. And then lo and behold...Radio Birdman reformed 27 years after breaking up and recorded a brand new album. It's called Zeno Beach, and it is amazing. I just saw them last week. On a Sunday. In a church. Yeah, it was a religious experience...if Rock n Roll is yer religion of choice. |
