DC's by way of Wheaton, MD indie rock band SweetBread Jim's shot to the top of our recent band of the month poll with a plethora of votes from a fanbase that's been in the works since late 2010. We wanted to find out more about this band with the quirky backstory of selling themselves on Craigslist. So we got a hold of Linsay Deming (Vocals/Rhythm Guitar), John Lanou (Bass), Jon Lewis (Drums) to find out more. Here they reveal who exactly SweetBread Jim is, how much a band goes for on Craigslist these days, and their upcoming album! Now onto the interview...
Catch SweetBread Jim's live April 6th at the Velvet Lounge with Kamikaze and Sun Buffalo.
Stephen Paul Smoker released his new album Ripe Fruit last week. The album an eclectic romp shifting from the fast paced, driving rhythm of "In Cairo" to the somber pluck guitar of "Cold As A Stone". This album seems meditative and psychedelic at the time. The are many moments through out at quite, almost restful. One of my favorites are the flute interlude in "The Light On The First Day of Spring... Pt 1.". In many way Stephen Paul Smoker is a throw back the 60's, but the way he builds his melody's also feel very modern. Ripe Fruit is just that, fresh and ready to be consumed.
