Another great billing for this holiday show - local darlings Quiet Company opening for the talented and versatile Bob Schneider. And, my first trip to Nutty Brown, believe it or not. It was quite a lovely place, nice stage and good space with tables and open areas for standing or chairs. A delightful way to spend the 4th, fireworks and all!
One of my favorite local bands is Quiet Company. Their fun, pop songs combined with a high energy live performance are an irresistible combination. And, they're really nice guys. Lead singer and songwriter Taylor Muse dropped by to talk about the band, their new EP (their song "How Do You Do It" is currently being played on KGSR), his changing relationship with Christianity and the future. Then the insanity began. Check out the "craft project" below.
In Part I Taylor talks about the band's history and current line-up.
In Part II, Taylor addresses the issue of his changing spirituality and the role that plays in his music.
In Part III, Taylor talks about the EP, hearing his song on the radio and the upcoming tour. My co-host Kiley joins him on the couch.
Taylor proposes a "craft project," a first for OTN. It's insane. You have to watch.
Quiet Company at the Ghost Room, doing their trademark energetic performance of "On Modern Men."
And finally, just wanted to share this with you, a great video that Taylor produced for their song "Its Better To Spend Money Like There's No Tomorrow Than Spend Tonight Like There's No Money"
The cosmos have basically been in line for me lately, what with my fantastic Memorial Day Weekend of Rhett Miller and Barenaked Ladies. This past weekend had two of my favorite local bands on the same bill at Threadgill's: Quiet Company and The Steps. You may have heard Quiet Company's song "How Do You Do It" on KGSR recently. They're a high energy pop band, with keyboards, horns and some great songs.
And I had not seen The Steps in quite some time, so I was happy to get out to one of their live shows. They have some cool things coming up, a new EP coming soon, lots of placements on TV shows and a big promo with Mead's Five Star Notebooks. Details here.
