Murder By Death The Other Shore
Nick Bode
BandWagon Magazine
It would be easy to think of Murder By Death as a local band. Though founded in Bloomington, IN and currently based out of Louisville, KY, the group is a frequent and welcome performer in Colorado. In 2014, Murder By Death was the first Rock & Roll act to play the historic Stanley Hotel in Estes Park; this year, their fifth annual winter residency extended to five sold-out shows. As much as the American Gothic sound of Murder By Death fits the open prairies and rugged mountains of Northern Colorado, it is equally out of this world. It’s fitting, then, that their latest studio album, The Other Shore is a space western. Yeah – it’s a concept album. But it is a concept album from a band capable of world-building and it’s as atmospheric and evocative as a literary novel. Newly released via Bloodshot Records on August 24, The Other Shore is not Murder By Death’s first concept record, but it may be their best. Each song stands alone as a strong composition, yet each song contributes to the overarching story. For fans of MBD’s haunting
ballads like “Lost River” or “Foxglove,” The Other Shore starts off with the beautiful “Atlas” and delivers again with “Only Time.” Those that appreciate the feet-stomping sing along nature of “Brother” or “I Came Around” will love the songs “True Dark” and “Stone,” but it’s not all been there, done that. Murder By Death continues to push boundaries and explore new sounds on The Other Shore. The tracks “Bloom” and “I Have Arrived” in particular, have an unexpected almost 80’s era feel. The Other Shore is a great addition to Murder By Death’s discography. If you’re not already a fan, this is as good a starting place as any of their prior albums – but the best way to be introduced is by seeing them live – good thing, then, that Murder By Death will be performing at Washington’s in Fort Collins on Friday, September 21, 2018.

winning live band, they shine all over this album, especially on the singles “Heavy, California” and “Happy Man.” While Jungle are lumped into the modern soul category, For Ever is so much more. It has a form that breathes well, even in the second half of the album where the tone chills out. Employing musical tricks that are often ear-bending and surprising, masterminds Josh “J” Lloyd-Watson and Tom “T” McFarland are not holding back. There is a truth riding underneath the whole album and a musical honesty that has special written all over it. While some indie heads might turn their noses up to its commercial

AIRING ALL ALONG THE FRONT RANGE!
Staff Picks | 105.5 The Colorado Sound
Ron : Death Cab For Cutie – Thank You For Today On their 9th studio album, Ben Gibbard & band continue the sound that started bringing them fans 20 years ago. Rich Costey’s ethereal production keeps Ben’s light & dream-like vocals out front so we can hear the nuances in his thought-provoking lyrics. Change and departure are common themes throughout songs like “When We Drive,” “Autumn Love” & “You Moved Away,” showing the effect leaving has on those left behind, while the passage of time is hard to miss on “60 & Punk.” A liner-note surprise: Ben’s co-writer on “Gold Rush,” a tune about the money to be found in urban development, is Yoko Ono. And for those of you from The 206, don’t miss their Seattle-home reference to Dyes Inlet in “Northern Lights.”
Stacy : Cautious Clay – Blood Type/Resonance EPs
Brooklyn’s Josh Karpeh (aka Cautious Clay) is a 25-year-old artist with a very clear sonic vision. He made a splash earlier this year with his debut EP Blood Type and a quick follow up with the Resonance EP in June. Although Josh has been producing other artists and songwriting for six years, these are his first forays into his own music. The releases are lush, layered pieces, seamlessly crossing genres from R&B to EDM with the lyrical street-smarts of Hip Hop. Classically trained as a kid and studying jazz saxophone at George Washington University set the stage for this artist to explore all sorts of soundscapes, citing influences ranging from Kendrick Lamar to Joni Mitchell. This producer/songwriter cum performer is just coming into his own and I can’t wait to hear what’s next from Cautious Clay.
Benji : Charley Crockett – Lonesome As A Shadow
Charley Crockett is a troubadour in the truest sense of the word. Crockett left home in his teens, hopping railroad cars and busking on the streets to earn his keep. He even spent a year in Paris before returning to his native Texas. Difficult to describe, Crockett is a self-taught musician who plays Blues, Honky Tonk, Gospel, Soul and even some Cajun Jazz. For his latest album, Lonesome as A Shadow, Crockett ventured to Memphis and recorded at Sam Phillips’ legendary Recording Service studio. The album was recorded live to tape, giving it a raw, energetic feel. You’ll hear just how eclectic a musician Crockett is via the straight-ahead Rockabilly burner “Lil Girls Name” and the very soulful “Ain’t Gotta Worry Child.” If you want a record with a little bit of everything and a whole lot of realness, check this Shadow out.
Digital Producer Chris : The Rock*A*Teens - Sixth House
In the late 90’s and early 2000’s, The Rock*A*Teens were a band you liked so as to be cooler than your Pavement & Liz Phair-loving friends. Over their 5 albums, no band has combined the ethos of indie rock, rockabilly, and punk better. Hailing from the thriving music neighborhood of Cabbagetown in Atlanta, GA, their influence has been crucial to indie rock. Their first studio full-length since 2001, Sixth House kicks off with the no-looking-back anthem, “Billy Really.” It’s classic Rock*A*Teens, full of reverb and southern pastiche. On “Turn and Smile,” band leader Chris Lopez sings: “Oh, I wouldn’t have it any other way.” And why would they? Dan Bejar of Destroyer and formerly The New Pornographers, has said The Rock*A*Teens “were arguably the best American rock ’n roll band of the ’90s.” With Sixth House, they’re making a strong case for that title again.

Dan England | BandWagon Magazine Legendary comedian and performer Gallagher was on his way to a gig in midAugust when he heard it was Elvis week in Graceland. This inspired him to write a song about Elvis, a tune he planned to perform two days later in Huntsville, Alabama. He had the lyrics, what he called a poem, but he was toying with how to set it to music. His traveling companion that day suggested gospel, but Gallagher wasn’t sure about that. He was also a little irritated because he was just talking about “Loverboy,” a superhero movie he wrote with Will Ferrell in mind, and said companion kept interrupting. This sparked the kind of angry energy that’s defined Gallagher for decades besides iconically smashing watermelons on stage. “SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP,” he said to his companion. Gallagher didn’t know if he would smash watermelons at the Alabama gig. It would take place in the Von Braun Center, and when he plays shows in places with fancy names such as that, the places that sell wine in the lobby, or in front of seniors, he leaves out the famed routine upon request. He knows that’s like going to see Led Zeppelin and not hearing “Rock and Roll,” but he doesn’t mind.
As tempting as it would be to cull from his many stand-up comedy shows on Showtime or his fame as one of the more well-known comics of the 1980s because he smashed stuff on stage, Gallagher doesn’t want to rehash those gags or rely on a bit that he’s performed thousands of times. He couldn’t work that way. “I actually perform because I write,” he said in a phone interview. “I have to put it somewhere. I write for the stage.” Even after 4,000 shows, Gallagher doesn’t follow a script. The show he performs with comedian and actor Artie Fletcher, in fact, has no script, just a general road map that allows Gallagher to feel out an audience. The two improvise many of the jokes. “You can’t have one show you do everywhere in America,” Gallagher said. “New York is a whole lot different than Memphis. You have to be versatile. I’m a fisherman and a scientist trying different baits. Only a fool would stick to a script.” Gallagher probably has the most active Facebook page of any comic, Fletcher told Bandwagon, partly to curb Gallagher’s desire to create. Fletcher said that Gallagher sometimes wishes he could be known for his expansive mind and not the hammer he wields to
smash fruit. “It bothers him that people don’t know that’s only one dimension of him,” he said. “Smashing is at the very end, and that’s more of a tribute to his fans.” Gallagher feels out his audience by talking about spoon forks, commonly called “sporks,” and how that reflects America because “we do two things at once, and we’re not good at either.” He talks about “how men are made of dirt, and women don’t want dirt in the house.” He isn’t a political comic, even if he’s a known conservative who loves poking liberals. He has some Obama jokes, but he doesn’t mind poking Trump either. “I like to put my hair all in the front and say, ‘I love Mexicans no matter what country they came from,’” he said. “That’s a good example of him. He doesn’t even see it.” Gallagher will play a 2:30 matinee and a 7pm show on Sunday, September 16 at the Moxi Theater, which, as cool as it is, is not an art center. It’s a concert venue, which means Gallagher can make a mess. After a long career being known as the comic who smashes watermelons, making a mess still makes him happy. “Just when you’re tired of laughing, we get to do that,” he said, “and it is just so, so much fun.”

Kevin Johnston | BandWagon Magazine “It’s a tough day and age to have a unique band name,” Camden James says. “You see people doing different capitalizations or a dollar sign in their names.” James, drummer for the eclectic Ft. Collins outfit The Great Salmon Famine, is sitting with keyboardist/saxophonist Adam Bell. They consider spelling “famine” with an “almon” to further the playfulness of their name, but Bell notes, “when you look at it, it doesn’t look like it rhymes, but when you read it out loud, you’re like ‘oh! Nice!’” This fun-focused consideration of audience perspective permeates the party ethos of The Great Salmon Famine. Premiering their new single “The Funky Circus” via bandwagmag.com on September 4 and winning our 2018 Battle Of The Bands with a dancey, fan-favorited final round, their energetic live show is an expected highlight at this year’s

Block Party in downtown Greeley on Friday, September 21. “We decided keep a remembrance of the old band and we thought (the name) was funny and goofy - like us,” James says. The old band, The Salmon Of Knowledge, was founded by current bandmates, singer/guitarists Gabe Neymark and Evan Waring with bassist Jack Vulcani, who, in fact, has an entire book of goofy band names he’s written down over the years. Embracing the spontaneous, James says their live show is always changing. “For every performance we have a group discussion to plot out the energy flow for the set, keeping the audience in mind.” Bell agrees: “We’ll have a pretty solid plan going in, but we’ll identify which spots could go one way or the other and plan little things we can change on the spot if we want to - always reserving the right to
throw everything out the window.” “We call it the organic, cagefree, non-GMO, farm-to-table jam,” James says. “We’ve really worked on that in the last year. Opening our ears up, playing together. We’ll be on stage when something new and crazy happened that we never planned - we’re all smilin’ and geekin’ - and we look out and the crowd is smilin’ with us - that’s pinnacle fun, and that’s the aim of the show.” “When we really get into the zone - listening to each other more than to ourselves - that’s when it starts being something actually special,” according to Bell. “It’s an ‘only in that moment’ thing we couldn’t have rehearsed if we wanted to.” The quintet stands out from their jammy, soulful peers by - ironically - not trying so hard. “We’re not trying to do something outside of ourselves,” Bell says. “All we’re trying
to do is play well and have as much fun as we can. Ideally, whoever is there listening is gonna have fun too! We take the music incredibly seriously, but we definitely don’t take ourselves too seriously.” Combining their widespread influences from bluegrass to funk into a crowd-pleasing concoction, James says “we like to infuse all those together within a realm that’s comfortable to most ears.” One of these influences turns out to be Bell’s brother Alec, trumpeter for Greeley soul giants The Burroughs. “It was the first show of theirs that I’d seen,” Bell says. “I saw him up on stage doing the thing - people were dancing, I was dancing - it was amazing. Afterwards, I was like: that. That’s what I want to do. I wanna be up there.” But the musical spark started even earlier. The Bells’ mother taught piano lessons at home throughout their up-
bringing. “When I was 4 years old, I’d observe from a distance, listening to what her students did. Once they were done for the day and she was making dinner, I’d hop on the piano and try do whatever they were doing. I’d ask - ‘is it supposed to be like this?’ She’d teach me how to play from different rooms in the house while I was trying to figure it out.” The family vibe continues today, to almost sitcom status. Bell’s new roommates are his brother and The Burroughs’ mohawked bari-sax man Hayden Farr and remains a healthy comaraderie for the most part. This year’s Battle of the Bands was the only time things got competitive for Adam and his brother. “We got to go head-to-head in that final round (Alec played trumpet with runner-up Igaus Davis). We won, but he already won before with The Burroughs (in 2014), so there you go!”
“Alec has been a trove of good advice for me and for the band,” Bell says, maintaining focus on his band’s identity as a collective. “Our shows aren’t even about us - they’re about everybody there,” he says. “It doesn’t matter how good we sound in our opinion - if everybody’s standing out there with their head to the side like ‘what are they doin’? Then what’s the point? If everyone else is having fun, we’re having fun.” James agrees. “We feed off the crowd engagement. We give 100% every time, but when you come out and dance for us, it takes it up to the next level.” Bell hints that there might be some surprise guests at their Block Party performance, advising: “Do your stretches before you leave the house on that day - you’ll be movin’ and groovin’ for sure.”
