MUSIC: Brown Bird Celebrates Release Of Fits Of Reason At The Met
Monday, April 08, 2013
This past Friday at The Met in Pawtucket, Warren folk duo Brown Bird celebrated the release of their brand new album Fits Of Reason. Alec K. Redfearn & The Eyesores and Last Good Tooth rounded out an all-Rhody bill that was sure to astound and impress. The hottest ticket in the state was at The Met and if weren't here than you missed out big time.
Alec K. Redfearn & The Eyesores
A musician who has been playing eclectic and unique music for ages as well as being an underrated legend in my opinion, Alec K. Redfearn & The Eyesores started things off by captivating the audience. "Elzebet", "Unawake", "Hackles Up", a rendition of Billie Holiday's "Gloomy Sunday", "Traumadoliday", "Fire Shuffle" and "Scratch" exuded gypsy rhythms and lovely sounds that had me memorized. Alec K. Redfearn & The Eyesores will be playing next at The Rhode Island Eat & Drink Festival going on from April 19th to the 21st, so feast on delicious grub & tasty brew while checking out an unreal band.
Last Good Tooth
A quartet that seems to get better and better like a bottle of good wine every time I see them, Last Good Tooth played second fiddle on the bill tonight and were tight as ever. They played a bunch of new songs that don't have any names yet but they had people movin' and a groovin' right in front of the stage. Speaking of things with no names, Last Good Tooth has a new album that is yet to be named due out next month. If it's as good as The Meeting Was A Success then you better get it when it hits record store shelves.
