Duncan Damn Sheik

For reals..

So the other night, me (Ryan) and Stacey, the top half of BLACKFOX, did a duo set at Smith's Olde Bar's Atlanta Room, and Duncan Sheik was playing the big upstairs room. I figured we'd have nice staged rehearsal and play to no one, but instead we had some people actually come down from DS's show and hang with us, and they totally dug it. We had one of those nights where we just played and sang and everybody came along.

Later, I came home and bought Duncan's latest record, because I'm sure his beneficent spirit had something to do with it.

Not too long ago, as a little group project, we made a record of science-fiction inspired grooves anchored by Stacey Cargal's lap steel. It was very well received, but it's currently out of print. Well, don't look now, but we're going to re-release it as part of the Somerset Sound launch, and it might even be free! Hit us up over on the Contact page and we'll make sure you know when it happens. ​

From up Minneapolis way, this rocket-powered trio keeps the garage rock dream alive with thick guitars, Infectious shouts, and never-say-die rhythms played by guys who just have to be robots. The new record is called Seriousness and you need it.​

New noises

​BLACKFOX EP available now on Bandcamp

Longtime sidemen Mitchell Sosebee, Ryan Taylor, Stacey Cargal, and Cade Lewis decided it was long past time to do their own thing. This thing turned into BLACKFOX. ​Elements of heavy Americana, garage, country and gospel get the heavy guitar treatment, topped with harmony vocals and a sense of humor.
