ANOTHER BLATANT AND UNABASHED SHILL: THE SHOOTS
Hey guys... Ethan and crew have been busy in the studio recording a few new demos, and they've put the results up on their Website. The Shoots are for real. Still no "Angels" posted (Ahem, Ethan?!), but several new songs that I think you'll like.
"I'm So In Crush With You" sort of reminds me of the Counting Crows musically, though Ethan's voice is still harder for me to place (for some reason, I keep thinking of the late 80s/early 90s Aussie alt-rock band the HooDoo Gurus whenever I hear him sing)... but no matter the influence, it's a good tune. And "You're That Stupid Kid" is also a song that's very fun live.
Go on over to www.TheShoots.com and take a listen, my friends. And if you're in New York, make note that they're playing this coming Friday at Arlene's Grocery -- a great show for them, because Arlene's is quickly becoming a New York musical legend... artists from every genre have graced their stage: Dr. John, Allen Ginsberg, the Strokes, Vonda Shepard, Vanessa Carlton, David Johansen, and Beth Orton, to name a few. And the great Jeff Buckley played his last New York show at Arlene's. In a year or two, there's going to be a bragline on the Arlene's site about how The Shoots have played there too. Check 'em out, crew -- and let 'em know 'Mudge sent you.
