Late on getting this up there, but I've had a busy day. There's still time to get out there to Jack's and see The Bradbury Press:
Seattle, WA (September 9th, 2005) – As part of their six week tour through the Western U.S., Seattle’s “The Bradbury Press” will perform at "Jacks Patio Bar" located at 2950 Thousand Oakes Dr San Antonio, TX (Phone: 210-494-2309) on Monday October 3rd, 9:00PM. There is no cover charge for the show.
Praised at once for their intelligent lyrics and their pop sensibilities, The Bradbury Press have the uncanny ability to make thought-provoking music that sounds familiar the first time you hear it: it just sounds right.
With their latest CD “The Front”, The Bradbury Press demonstrate this ability perfectly, combining melodic storytelling and inspired riffs with a clear vision that steers clear of rootsy melodrama or jamband boredom. Songs like “Domino”, “Dive”, and “The Front” strike the balance almost perfectly, painting complex scenes laced with optimism onto a refined musical
canvas.
Led by the immediately recognizable voice of Golden, The Bradbury Press have invited quick comparisons to acoustic rockers Dave Matthews and Counting Crows, who sport similarly distinct vocals and thoughtful lyrics stacked over acoustic based tracks. But this is no one man show, the band is a band in the truest sense of the word, with Dave Brewer (Electric Guitar and the band's other vocalist/songwriter), Travis Hartman (Bass), and Greg Garcia (Drums) each contributing their talents to the whole.
Call it Popular Americana or Rhythmic Roots Rock, The Bradbury Press call Seattle their home. Better known for spawning indie rockers like Modest Mouse and labels like Sub Pop, Seattle also hosts a thriving acoustic scene. Having cut their teeth at the Seattle proving ground, The Tractor Tavern and opening for artists like The Clumsy Lovers, Tom Landa and The Paperboys, The Samples, James Taylor,and Soul Coughing’s Mike Doughty, the Bradburies have been criss-crossing the Western States in their mini-bus, Shelly, creating new fans in their wake.
