Brass Bed hits the road in support of The Color Session, their recent split ep with Feufollet!
Brass Bed hits the road in support of The Color Sessions, a split ep with their fellow Lafayette, Louisiana residents, Feufollet. The EP sees each band tackling three of the other's songs and transforming them into their own brand of psych pop or, conversely, Cajun music. Please do download and share Brass Bed's cover of "Des Promesses" and Feufollet's cover of "Bums On The Radio" with your readership.
The band is touring to and from Champaign's rapidly growing Pygmalion Music Festival straight through the heart of the Midwest! Fresh out of recording sessions for their third LP in Austin with Danny Reisch, the band will be debuting new material each night along the tour route...Press for Brass Bed's "Melt White" LP:
"It’s a solid yet pleasurably unpredictable pop band with requisite hooks and crunchy guitar sounds, which makes sense for a group that bills itself on its MySpace page as sounding like “a dog eating peanut-covered homework." Vanity Fair
"Brass Bed is a Lafayette, LA, quartet that channels the power of unrestrained rock and power pop, which it shared on its new LP, Melt White." CMJ
"I was on board with the lyric, "I don't believe in fate at your leisure" and was kept put with their clear influences from The Kinks and Television. Take those and them put into an indie-pop-and-country-twang-lick blender and you've got Brass Bed."RCRD LBL
"Brass Bed fits comfortably alongside earnest 70’s left of the dial rock bands like Big Star. The songs often start in tightly constructed pop structures, but append woolly, distorted monster interludes and codas more often than not. " Brightest Young Things
"Listening to their songs is like listening to a glossier version of Big Star’s #1 Record, or even, dare I say it, Sgt. Peppers." mySpoonful
