Barr Brothers, Self-Titled Debut Album

Amazing songwriters and instrumentalists Brad and Andrew Barr from the Slip release their full legnth debut as the Barr Brothers on Tuesday September 26. Go grab a copy or download one on i-Tunes. Those of following this group over the last year or so (and lucky enough to have grabbed a pre-release of the album at a live show) know that they are something really special. A beautiful blend of traditional folk, polyrhythms, blues guitar, african grooves, experimental rock, and wonderful lyricism. Somewhere between Ali Farka Toure, Ry Cooder, Paul Simon, Wilco, and Zeppelin. And by the way, the have a harp player. The song "Beggar in the Morning" might just be one of my all-time favorites.

Disappears

Checked out Disappears live show in Brooklyn at Union Pool a little while back. Just wanted to throw out a late thumbs up. Great band. They were just on tour with Bronze God favorite Obits (who were all in attendance for the Union Pool show).

BLORR @ Cameo Gallery

Florida's Bastard Lovechild of Rock and Roll aka BLORR aka Le BLORR played Cameo Gallery in Billberg last night. The duo jammed out a couple of new heaters in their set. Interesting use of bass and synth triggers by drummer Adam Winn to cover the low end and fill out the sound. All around a good show.

Check them out tonight and tomorrow night in Montauk.

Primitive Skin

We recently caught up with our buddies Brian Whiteley and Sam Dye from multiple former Brooklyn projects such as The Rich Get Richer. The boys have started a new group called Primitive Skin with new guitarist/Jersey heart-throb Ryan Bradley. This band is vast departure from the airy synth-pop that dominates the Brooklyn music scene today. The band seeks to put the balls back into rock while rooting itself in something more spiritual, drawing from icons such as The Stooges, Nick Cave, The Jesus and Mary Chain, and Primal Scream. The psych-sleaze-rock trio will take you on a droned trance journey through foggy ancient temples and then spit you back out onto dirty city streets, drunkenly kicking over trashcans and yelling at girls in short skirts. The band shifts dynamically from one moment to the next, moving from hazy repetitive riffs to explosive grinding choruses. Check their live recordings out on myspace before your friends do and see them live in Brooklyn asap.
