New Music Monday

the thing i love about bands that are not on major labels, are that they are still accessible as real people and most of the time they still appreciate meeting new fans. i emailed Kim of My Velouria to ask them a few questions about the band and lo and behold, when i logged into my Gmail account this afternoon the response was already waiting for me. thanks Kim!

i’ve also been giving a listen (and will be picking up) the self-titled debut album from the Deadstring Brothers, a group hailing from good old Detroit (not Dee-troit as the west coast folks like to pronounce it). their sound is just as it is described on the site:

“Not unlike Exile-era Stones, the Deadstring Brothers deliver a menacing sound that draws equally on the melancholy of country ballads and the abandon of rock and blues.”

it doesn’t look like they’ll be heading out west anytime soon, but when they do i will definitely check them out!
