What kind of rowdy folk IS this??
Thursday, April 14, 2011 at 10:46AM When we tell people we are in a band, there first question is "what kind of music do you play" or "what do you sound like" we tend to pander back and forth and try to find an artist that we like, or respect, or that THEY would know....
"Early Ray Lamontagne meets Wilco circa 'yankee foxtrot hotel' meets Ryan Adams 'heartbreaker'???"
We in the whicker and pine love music, there are artists that we love to listen too, I named a couple of them above, and for the most part, our iTunes libraries are quite similar... well, except for Drew... no one really knows what that guy listens to....
Musical influence is a hard thing to nail down, but what is harder still, is explaining "what we sound like" honestly, I have no idea... I have always tried to draw comparisons for myself and invariable, someone else comes up with something totally different.... I, as a singer, cringe when they say Jack Johnson, beam with pride when they say Amos Lee, look at the person perplexed when they say the Goo Goo Dolls... you get the idea...
These days, the question tends to go unanswered, or at the very least, we send them to our website for them to decide for themselves. To be honest that is probably one of the best thing about this digital age... someone can watch our videos in what ever format they choose, right on their iPhone! (or... *shudder... Droid) This, in turn, allows them to find out for themselves! Which brings me to my point, I promise there is a point, and it's not just to see how many ellipses can be put in one post...
Media!!!!! it is this bands prerogative to share our music in as many (targeted) formats as possible, we are cooking up some cool ideas for sharing our new songs with you, ways that will allow you to enjoy our own special brand of "indie folk melancholipop" from the comfort of you own home/office/dorm room/bus ride to work/etc... all the while enticing you to our live shows :)
We will expect dancing.
You may be asked to bring your own tambourine.
You will be enticed to engage in some gang vocals at various times.
and, as always, clapping and stomping is appreciated.
We may not be the next Mumford and sons, but we can promise you a good time, one that you wont be ashamed to tell you friends and family about... well, for the most part, sometimes Jon says inappropriate things from the stage, and occasionally Sean's jokes leave a funny taste in your mouth, but, after all that's why God gave us Whiskey.
Indie Folk Melancholipop, I like it.
