Big D & The Kids Table have launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund not one, but TWO new albums.
Best associated with the third wave of ska in the US, the band’s sound can be somewhat more eclectic, taking in elements of punk, pop, thrash, reggae and a bit of dub. With this in mind, Big D are set to release two albums: one of upbeat ska and punk, with a second release taking in more of their lighter, reggae influenced sounds.
Jean Beauvoir has announced four acoustic shows for April 2013. The sometime Crown of Thorns frontman will be appearing at the following venues:
From out of the silence, a lo-fi bass chord emerges. Then another. Then a couple more. The quiet bass rattles gently for a while building expectation, yet giving little to no indication of what is to follow. As the drums appear, a stoner-ish vibe sets the pace before a heavy syncopated beat takes hold – one which is easily comparable to the darker, moodier works of Primus. …And for some, those funky few bars, will come to represent the most accessible part of Cattle’s self-titled EP.
Leeds noise-makers Super Luxury have a handful of upcoming gigs over the following month. Details can be seen below.
