Formados en 2015, los VANDOLIERS son la banda del cantante y guitarrista JOSHUA FLEMING, Dustin Fleming (no, no son parientes) a la otra guitarra, el bajista Mark Moncrieff, el batería Guyton Sanders, el violinista Travis Curry, y el multi instrumentista Cory Graves.

Siendo su paisano RHETT MILLER uno de sus mentores, no es difícil imaginar que la banda de este, los OLD 97's, es uno de los referentes de los Vandoliers, como también lo son bandas de rock "countrificado" de hace treinta años como JASON & THE SCORCHERS, o TRUE BELIEVERS, y otras más rockeras tipo SOCIAL DISTORTION y hasta THE CLASH.

    ROGER KNOX STRANGER IN MY LAND RELEASE DATE: FEBURARY 2013 “The best music is border music, the sound of cultures colliding. In the late 20th century Black Australians assimilated Country & Western, that whitest of American musical forms, to tell the story of their physical subjugation, spiritual stoicism and eventual political awakening.” —Jon Langford, from the liner notes Roger Knox, aka the Koori King of Country or Black grog-drinkers, pelicans and policemen. Elvis as he’s known in his homeland, is an Aboriginal Australian Country & Western singer with a honeyed Stranger In My Land features guest vocals and bear hug of a voice.

  • Deer Tick Talks Negativity,Ask the Artist
    CD Review: Torn Shorts’ Through the Mill Josh Grabert tears through competition It looks like the good folks with the WBRU Rock Hunt got it right again this year. They usually do (not counting 1993 when a band intimately related to the author of this article lost out to Angry Salad…but I digress). And as with acts like The Schemers in 1982, and Sasquatch & The Sick-A-Billys in 2005, Providence’s own Torn Shorts has taken top honors in 2013’s edition of the prestigious competition. Technically, Torn Shorts is the collective name for the creative efforts of the multitalented musician/songwriter Josh Grabert. Though Grabert has gained a great deal of notoriety performing live shows throughout New England as a one-man-band under the Torn Shorts banner, Grabert has enlisted the help of Zach Zarcone on bass, Nick Molak on guitar and drummer Brendan Tompkins to record Through The Mill. With the album’s opening track “Brow St,” Grabert demonstrates an ability to engage the listener with radio-friendly, hook-laden rock & roll. Delivered with a voice reminiscent of Albert Hammond combined with a bit of a “New Morning”era Bob Dylan, he establishes himself as a virile songwriter. This fact is underscored all the more by his creative use of space within the verses, an underused yet potent technique, not only with writers, but soloists as well. “’Drink that scotch’ she says before the bad news – that’s why I keep crying The Nice Guy Blues – I was never ready for the big show – the older I get the less I grow.” “Dying Houses” is a dark requiem for urban decay and those who endure the daily fight for survival.

  • Antimodernism and Genre from Country-Rock to Alt.Country, 1968-98
    Antimodernism and Genre from Country-Rock to Alt.Country, 1968-98 Jason Bianchi Kirby San Jose, California B.A. Sociology and Literature, University of California—Santa Cruz, 2002 M.A. American Culture Studies, Bowling Green State University, 2006 A dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Music University of Virginia August 2016 Abstract This dissertation is a cultural history exploring expressions of and responses to antimodernism within country-rock and “alternative country” music, drawing on reception history, intellectual history of underground and mainstream left-wing American political movements, interview discourse with artists, and close readings of songs. In this dissertation I argue that despite styling itself as a type of purer root or “folk” form of contemporary country music, in terms of its ideologies, studio production techniques, fan and critical discourse, and business practices, alt.country is a type of rock music. It embodies some of rock’s core beliefs, particularly rock’s critique of the more bureaucratic and “rationalized” dimensions of postindustrial capitalism, particularly as this relates to the everyday impact of new technologies. I argue that this anti-modernism, emerging here from the American political left, has been different in different eras, from the back-to-the-land movement of the late 1960s, to late- ‘80s/early-‘90s expressions of left populist punk’s longing for “folk” community. In this project I look beyond contemporary scholarly understandings of alt.country as mostly ironic, as ultimately I suggest that this music illustrates what Keir Keightley calls rock’s aesthetic of “seriousness,” more precisely than it does an understanding of country music ideology.

    “The Flat Five roams at will from the Beach Boys to the Magnetic Fields...improvising gorgeous harmonic structures and grooves, and poking curiously into posterity’s dusty little corners.” –Robbie Fulks “They don’t feel retro. There’s nothing ‘precious’ or mummified about the music they make. They make you feel like it never went away.” –Inside the Outside Mind THE FLAT FIVE IT’S A WORLD OF LOVE AND HOPE RELEASE DATE: OCTOBER 14, 2016 On October 14th, Augiedisc Records and Bloodshot the slightly subversive, there is a heart of wide-eyed Records will release The Flat Five’s long-awaited sweetness coloring Chris Ligon’s songs. The smooth debut album It’s a World of Love and Hope — 12 southern soul of “Bottom Buck” will have you irresistibly catchy, instantly-hummable, and sweetly kicking off your fringed leather boots by the river to twisted pop songs written by long-time Chicago fixture lay back and watch the dragonflies flit past. Beneath Chris Ligon — and interpreted with great love by five the gentle, Donovan psychedelia of “I Could Fall In simpatico nerds with massive musical chops — five Love With You” is a love song built on prom-night friends foamy all over with song fever — who are just innocence that’s both goofball and beguiling. “It’s in it for the joy. It is a world of love and hope. We insist! Been A Delight’s” suave Cole Porter-era charms will unbutton the tux and pop the champagne. And if you The Flat Five is a Chicago-based pop vocal super-group can keep a straight face and resist the urge to shimmy — Kelly Hogan, Nora O’Connor, Scott Ligon, Casey during the Mills Brothers-styled aphrodisiac romp McDonough, Alex Hall — made of five in-demand “Buglight” it might be time to visit the doc, friend.
