Bad veins - Gold and warm

Yes! Lekker bijtend gitaarrifje. Twee man en een indierock debuutalbum. Een drummer en een zanger die de rest van de instrumenten speelt. Deze mannen werden eerder in NYC opgepikt en omarmt dan in hun eigen Cincinnati, Ohio. Gelukkig maar.

“I think we have a very unique live show, which largely is because of the way Sebastien plays drums, which is very unique,” Davis says. “And the reel-to-reel is unique. And I think that our aesthetic, the military thing, the flower box that no one understands why it’s there – all these things were there for a reason. They weren’t contrived. We never set out to have a look. It just kind of evolved.” So why are all those things there? Davis decided the reel-to-reel player, given to him by his father, would be more engaging to play backing tracks off of it rather than an iPod at live shows. Inspired by the vocal distortions used by Tom Waits and indie band Sparklehorse, Davis sometimes sings through a Radio Shack megaphone. Other times, Davis uses an analog telephone he converted into a microphone and mounted to a box painted with the band’s iconic red flowers – dreamed up by Davis’s girlfriend, artist Chris Salley – so his hands are free to play guitar or keyboard while he sings.

  1. You have three kinds of veins in the legs, the superficial veins, which are closer to your skin, deep veins that are in groups of muscles and perforating veins.
