About Feeding People:
Beyond the real deal is the unreal deal, and therein lies Feeding People, a band of teenagers making some of the heaviest psychedelic around decades after the 13th Floor Elevators declared their hallucinatory sense of purpose.
Feeding People was founded and is headed by
nineteen-year-old Jessie Jones, who channels the raw power of Jefferson
Airplane's Grace Slick and Janis Joplin at her most primal as she leads with
strong, almost vicious vocals, bellowing blasphemies as if possessed by
spirits with a masked sweetness reminiscent of Billie Holiday. Her siren call
reeled in Chris Alfaro of Free the Robots who produced some of the band's
earliest recordings, all of which were written acoustic and recorded electric
in a single sweaty take in drummer, Michael Reinhart's parents' 6'x10'
walk-in closet with a 4-track recorder and mic stands made of broom handles
taped to fire extinguishers.
After playing only a couple shows, Feeding People became the
second band ever invited to play storied electronic music club Low End
Theory, where they shared the stage with Radiohead's Thom Yorke.
"Island Universe" is the first single from their upcoming 2013
release which was recorded and produced by Jonny Bell of The Crystal Antlers
and Hanni El Khatib.
