About Wounded Buffalo Theory, The Sometime Boys & friends perform the music of LCD Soundsystem and Talking Heads, Dawn Drake & Zapote
Wounded Buffalo Theory is a progressive/psychedelic post rock band from Brooklyn, New York, comprised of John Blanton (vocals/guitar/keyboards), Jay Cowit (vocals/drums), Rob Malko (vocals/bass/keyboards) and Kurt Leege (guitars/vocals). Since forming in 2002, the band has independently released 9 albums and holds a reputation for dark, explosive live performances, relying equally on improvisation as much as understanding the essence of a composition. Lyrically, the band mixes existential nightmares with transcendental views of humanity, along with some very dry wit, showcasing complex harmonies and soaring lead vocals. Underneath is a vast musical landscape showcasing a pulsating, massive rhythm battery, and intricate, layered dual guitars. At its loudest, the band may remind some of A Place to Bury Strangers, ...Trail of Dead, and Tool; however the band has always retained its love of ambient interludes reminiscent of Brian Eno, Godspeed! You Black Emperor, and Robert Fripp.
"The vocals are thoughtful and remembering and a little bit melancholy, while the rest of the band is upbeat and rolling. It is the perfect symbiosis of emotion and melody that makes the listener feel like he or she is in a different time and place." -Overidon.com
During the winter of 2010, while their rock project System Noise was on temporary hiatus, singer Sarah Mucho and guitarist Kurt Leege decided to develop some folk oriented material that had accumulated over the years. After playing several very well received shows, they decided an album was in order and formed The Sometime Boys, which now also consists of tremendous talents, Pete O'Connell on bass, Rebecca Weiner Tompkins on violin, Jay Cowit on drums/percussion and Erik James on piano/keyboard/accordion. Their debut album 'Any Day Now' features succinct songwriting and moods ranging from upbeat to ethereal, by blending bluegrass, country and pastoral folk into a unique brand of Americana.
"What a treat this is, all the way through: you'll see this on our Best Albums of 2010 page..." -lucidculture.com
The much anticipated follow up, full-length album"Ice and Blood" is due May 31.
