O'Death: Catch 'Em While You Can

Tonight, one of The Music Slut's all time favourite bands, O'death, plays the Spielgeltent on Pier 17 in New York. If you are in the area and a fan, or just curious, we encourage you to go out and support them. There won't be another local show in quite some time. The boys will soon be headed out on another European tour and lead singer Greg Jamie will be mounting his own solo American tour in the next few months.

Buy a Spielgeltent ticket here. We know they are a bit pricey but Spielgel is such a cool venue that it is worth it. We'd also like to give props to how awesome, funny and just plain dead on Ticket Central's summary of the group is:

Five guys, maybe three shirts between them, take to the stage. There’s a banjo, a fiddle, a drum set littered with gas cans, chains, and broken cymbals. Then they all start howling, stomping; it’s an anachronistic jug band party in a junkyard with sing-along hooks and weathered vocals from another time. Their fans, an ever-expanding congregation, sing along and follow the band with an almost religious fervor, and as vocalist Greg Jamie’s eyes roll back into his head there’s a sense that something almost sinisterly spiritual has overtaken everyone in the room. This is the world of O’Death.

Check out this interview with VBS.TV the group did last month (VBS by the way is not Vacation Bible School TV, but a totally awesome new online music channel begun by those wacky kids at Vice):
