[mp3] Summer Cult // Pink Shoes

Posted on December 9, 2010 by Andy • 1 Comment

A couple of months ago we got an email from Dylan from Syracuse band Summer Cult, who were opening for Horse Feathers and Auld Lang Syne at Bug Jar. I went to see them that night, and liked what I heard. Their sound is similar to what you’d expect from a band opening that particular show – alt-country/Americana.

Dylan was kind enough to send over four of their demo tracks a couple of weeks ago, and “Pink Shoes” is the most upbeat of the bunch, but it showcases what the band does well – alternate male and female vocals, a retro, dusty feeling to the entire affair.

The Syracuse foursome is – if their Facebook status’ can be believed – looking into doing a split 7″, but that seems to be in the very early planning stages right now. (To be fair, their Facebook status also said they were spending the night in a Tauntaun, which is obviously untrue.) Catch up with them at their various social networking spots to find out what they have in store for shows, releases and stickers. They’ve got a bunch of live videos available over at their YouTube channel as well.

I saw ‘em at the Auld Lang Syne show, too, and they were great. We need to have them out this way again.

an examination used to test the condition of the middle ear and mobility of the eardrum, and the conduction bones by creating variations of air pressure in the ear canal.

Basically, it sounded like a cool name for a blog intended to be primarily about music. We’d both had other blogs previously, but over beers it was decided that more damage could be done as a joint venture. And here we are.

We share a passion for the undiscovered and under-appreciated, and hope that you’ll be able to find something you love as well.

I like music. I can't describe how I came to like the music I do, because I don't know how or why, I just do.

Many years ago, Napoleon's brother, my great-great-great-great-great-great Grandfather, came to America. He was asked his name on Ellis Island while being processed as an immigrant. Not understanding English, he was under the impression that he was being asked how he had arrived in the new land. So he turned around and pointed at the sea vessel and said, 'LaBarge.'

I come by my music taste of my own free will. My friends listened to 2Pac, my parents to contemporary Christian and me? Sunny Day Real Estate. I can’t explain it.
