Fri 28th Nashville Babylon and The Luminaire presents THE NEW YORK FUND + Dusty Rhodes & The River Band + Emit Bloch + Nashville Babylon DJs
Loose Music and Not The Same Old Blues Crap join forces and stretch the country genre to breaking point while delving deep into the traditional country themes of pathos, humour, women, whiskey, murder, death, disease and destitution. The New York Fund rip the heart out of country and nail it to the door of rock'n'roll and claim it as their own. In 2007, this North London four piece honed their craft and shared stages with The Hold Steady, Ed Harcourt and M.Ward among others - they are are now ready to step up to the plate. "Country with booster jets" **** -Uncut Dusty Rhodes & The River Band are set to explode.....They arrive to play Nashville Babylon directly after SXSW with a hotly tipped debut album, "First You Live", produced by Isaiah "Ikey" Owens from Mars Volta. Taking their influences from The Band, Brian Wilson, Hank Williams, The Flying Burrito Brothers and The Flaming Lips, this Orange County sextet will rip the roof right off The Luminaire!
Born on a cattle ranch in Utah and transplanted to Berkeley, California, Emit Bloch has a rich history to draw on when creating his distinct brand of avant-country music. With a unique guitar picking style and surreal electronic harmonica Emit Bloch fuses pioneer spirit , Woody Allen wit and California transcendentalism to create modern bluegrass and country music that still manages to retains the old time values of innovators like Jimmy Rodgers and Hank Williams.
