Bastards of Melody Live Review in The Big Takeover Fall 2011 Issue
Hank's Saloon, Boerum Hill, Brooklyn, NY March 25
Free gig at Hank's gin mill, one of the last of the great Brooklyn old man bars - not some fastidious wine bar - and these Bastards know how to fill a tiny, non-elevated stage with boisterous, punky rock 'n roll pop. The New Jersey power trio have been at this forever, yet show no slack in their enthusiasm for the Cheap Trick chunky, Replacements raspy, Sloan slapping, Posies power-pop clatter they bleed. Paul Crane is like an older, spirited cousin you clown around with, congenial, taking salient satisfaction in the spiky lift of his melodic boppers. And with a hot LP to plug for the first time in eight years, thy hit Hurry Up and Wait tunes hard - the NJ Turnpike-referencing "Exit 10" was best. Hope they earned the toll money back! Pass the hat!

Bastards of Melody Release Hurry Up And Wait!
FDR Label will be releasing the new Bastards of Melody CD, Hurry Up and Wait, on 11/9/10. Hurry Up and Wait is the 4th Bastards album and 2nd on FDR. The band has also contributed tracks to nearly all the FDR Tribute CDs including a truly killer version of “The Real Me” on our Who Tribute album. Hurry Up and Wait fully realizes the band's diverse influences only hinted at on its previous releases. Featuring crunchy/jangly guitars with some folky, acoustic flourishes, melodic bass, straightforward drumming and sweet harmonies, we think this is the best Bastards album yet.
The CD and MP3's will be available through all major online retailers including itunes, amazon, CD Baby, Napster and Rhapsody. You can also purchase the CD directly through the FDR Label website.

We'll be at Ace of Clubs at 9 Great Jones in NYC. Show time is 10:00 PM. We will be joined by the awesome new kings of the Williamsburg the Radio Barons and Poison Ivy League who have an awesome bio. Here's an excerpt - "Combining hefty rock riffs with a songwriting knack for the pop hook, Poison Ivy League finds a home nestled somewhere between the Melvins and the New Pornographers." Whoa.
