(AUDIO!!) Langerado Countdown - 7 Days!
One week from today I will be preparing to revel in South Florida's most eclectic musical event, the
Langerado Music Festival. I've mentioned it here before, but there is always more to said about this festival: It opens the summer festival season with a little bit of Spring Training (in the middle of Spring Break for y'all still lucky enough to be students) down here in Sunny Florida.
In honor of the festival, and as a way to try to introduce my readers (if there are any) to some of the bands playing at the festival, I'm going to try to post tunes from some of the acts that I am excited to see.
Today I'm going to go with
Brothers Past (watch the punctuation!) for the sole reason that an excellent sounding multi-track recording from a recent show was just uploaded to the Internet Archive.
BP is one of my favorite bands these days, and I'm more than excited that I'll get to see a bunch of them next week. Even better is the fact that they are opening for the Disco Biscuits on Thursday night, giving me a rare opportunity to see two of my favorite bands in the same room on the same night for the same price.
There are similarities between Brothers Past and the Disco Biscuits, but don't discuss them with fans of either band, since they both want to disassociate from the other. The Biscuits are a bit more balls-to-the-wall, while BP has some seriously talented songwriters in Tom McKee and Tom Hamilton (my man crush!).

These tracks are taken from Brothers Past's February 18, 2006 performance at the Recher Theatre in Towson, MD. Thanks to Rich Steele for taping, remastering and uploading this recording. The whole show is available for download here, but I've selected a juicy little segment for y'all.
The sound on these recordings is amazing, and the jams are pretty sweet, too. Expect pulsating dance beats, nasty song sandwiches and emo-ish lyrics from this band. If you get a chance (and you like what you hear) pick up their latest album, This Feeling's Called Goodbye. I honestly think it is one of the best albums of last year, and hope that it wins the Jammy Award it was nominated for.
