Deer Tick

[Penny Lane]

I'm going to hit up the Boston show instead of NYC show to see The Felice Bros---that club show I saw them do together was incredible   (I think Mahgeetah and bold99 will be there, too) I can't wait for this..

[YouAre_GivenToFly]

I'm definitely going to do Philly... and I'm thinking about that final show at Webster Hall... a trip back to Philly after a Sunday night show in NYC might be a little rough though.  :-\

I bought my tix today- I will be there.   I plan to do a run-by arm pump in honor of Dan giventofly, space permitting.    I am not as big a fan of Felice Bros so the idea of a dual headlining is not as exciting.   But I just got the new album and am open-minded so maybe this will be a pleasant discovery.   But i'm also hitting pawtucket on 10/13 to make sure I get enough Deer Tick goodness.   And, I LOVE that venue.

Have you seen the Felice Bros.  live?  They are a whole nother animal in a live setting, that's for sure.  Jealous of all of you.

I'll clear some space for you for the GiventoFly run by!
Ruckus is right, they are so good live..

Spoke to these guys the other nite in maine before their set at barnstormer...and they all said this is by far their best "sounding album" production wise and that they can't wait for it to come out...also dennis the drummer told me he wrote and sings on the song "clownin around"......so fired up for this album

[bold99]

I'm guessing Ian sings on this too.  Seems like from what John has been saying Deer Tick is def becoming more of a "band" where when he started it was kind of all him.  I'm pumped for this album and tour.  Going to Boston and I'm going to try and hit at least one of the Met shows in RI too.

[ironmike]

Ian sings on at least 3 songs

[slimsloslider]

[YouAre_GivenToFly]

At the Middle Brother show I went to, Dennis sang on a cover of "Bring it on Home To Me".

He actually has a great voice...very good backing vocals

Lots of fun last night prob around 60 people fit into this living room of a bar. The whole band was in tow....Based on first impressions everything that was said about the new album from the band is true..."most cohesive," "most representative of their live sound," ""best sounding," "not alt-country." Its a great record and prob will be my favorite Deertick album. Of course these are first impressions. It is reminiscent of Rolling Stones/Tom Petty straight ahead rock with a general pop-rock with balls sound.

01. The Bump - "got a lust for life" opens, "we are full grown men, but we act like kids!" Love this song, does not vary much from the live recordings I've heard and that's ok by me.

02. Funny Word - This one may be better than the live versions I've heard, a 5 minute rocker with a pretty progressive step for the band as songwriters/rockers imo.

03. Let's All Go to the Bar - This one speaks for itself, it translated really well to the album, the band's attempt to add some punk to their rep., the 2 bartenders working the bar last night sing in the chorus.

04. Clownin' Around - Dennis' song and its frickin awesome, couldn't make out the lyrics but I was expecting a metal song on his turn as singer but this is actually more alt-country leaning, think their Friday the 13th, its an acoustic strummed mid-tempo song, with some hot sauce!

05. Main Street - This one is my vote for early favorite, great tempo

This is where things get more fuzzy:

06. Chevy Express - I think this is Ian's first turn as singer, good stuff but can't remember much.

07. Something to Brag About - I think this one is reminiscent of Straight from the Storm, some rockabiliy sounding singing/solos

08. Walkin Out The Door -I think a mid-tempo song sung by John definitely good but don't remember it well

09. Make Believe - DT's most dancable track, Definitely Tom Pettyish, this one may be my favorite too!

10. Now It's Your Turn - This is Ian's ballad type song with some hot licks during the solo, really great track

11. Electric - Slower John song, ? if its just him with keyboards, nice song

12. Miss. K - Pop/ rock greatness, great melody, great chorus!

All in all a supremely solid album. Purists may have complaints about the "better production" compared to their more loose sounding albums but to me it definitely does not sound overly produced and all songs have gusto. This is prob their best effort, time will tell. It is certainly a step forward for the band as songwriters imo. The addition of Rob on keys/sax is a major addition!

Really love the Bump....heard that at Newport.  Can't wait to get this album.

They are doing an acoustic show this saturday in Providence for a charity.
