The Burden Brothers at The Rabbit

Mercy. It's a concept musicians only have a passing familiarity with, since they are only rarely afforded it. But they know the drill going in. Once you decide to become a musician, you're stuck for life. You're always a musician, whether you're kicking out the jams or breaking up the band, whether you're awaiting the next high or weathering the latest low. That's the way it goes. That is your burden.

That's how Vaden Todd Lewis, former frontman for the platinum-selling Toadies, found himself on a plane bound for Seattle and a new start. That's how Taz Bentley, former stickman for psychobilly faves the Reverend Horton Heat, found himself next to Lewis, offering that new start. But neither one knew what they were getting into. All they knew was that they were musicians, and playing music is the best way to deal with the highs and lows and everything in between.

The Burden Brothers are currently on the road in support of their latest record, Mercy.  Mercy is the kind of record that justifies the existence of albums in an increasingly singles- and shuffle-play-dominated world. Guitarist Corey Rozoni says  "It's like a good movie. It has its nice, sweet part; its deep, thought-provoking part; its dark, brooding part; it has the car chase. It's all there."

Catch the Burden Brothers live at The White Rabbit on July 19th.
