GREYCOATS FIGHT UNITED WITH CHAINSAWS

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

Greycoats // Setting Fire to the Great Unknown

Longtime friends Jon Reine (Vocals, Guitar) and Mike Smith (Drums, Percussion) have been in a myriad of bands since they were teenagers. It is with Greycoats that they have truly hit the mark. With Matt Patrick and Titus Decker rounding out the band, this Minneapolis/St. Paul foursome is creating a minor buzz around the twin cities with their debut album; Setting Fire to the Great Unknown. Soaring vocals reminiscent of Jeff Buckley and a sound that brings to mind Arcade Fire, Radiohead, and Death Cab make this disc an absolute pleasure to listen to. This band is destined for big things. They recently opened for ‘We are Scientists’ in Minneapolis and are presently on a tour of the East Coast USA. Setting Fire to the Great Unknown is now available from iTunes and can also be ordered off their website: www.greycoats.net

Check out the song ‘Goodbye Sweet Youth Goodbye,’ a featured track on their myspace page and also my track of the week.

OCTOBER 24TH, THE DAY OF

With a foot on a kick drum, and hands on a guitar Shauf, sings while his bearded sidekick fills out the sound with snare, high-hat, xylophone, and harmonica. Wonderfully full sound with just two fellas. The album is even better.

This coming Saturday, October 25th, Pat’s Pub and Brewhouse hosts the Halloween edition Grease n’ Grind with Bloodshot Bill, The Vicious Cycles and the Getaway Sticks. For more Psychobilly information and music and concert listings, listen to CIVLRadio on Monday mornings 8-10AM.

Stephen McBean of Pink Mountaintops is working on a follow up to the guitar washed psychedelia of his 2006 album Axis of Evol. In fact, it seems that everyone in Black Mountain is working on the sly. Perfect.
