Biography
The Deadstring Brothers' heart beats with pure rock and roll. Simple
and shor 'nuff. Built on a the unshakable foundations of blues, rock
country and soul, DSB manages to create something at once totally fresh
but totally recognizable. It's all ragtops and cold beer, seeds and
stems, gatefold LPs and foxy girlfriends with tight, flared jeans. You
can imagine them walking as a gang down Carnaby street in London in the
late 60's, or tearing up the stage at Cobo Hall in De-troit Rock City
or sweating buckets at a Muscle Shoals recording session in the 70's.If
mainstream radio played music like the Deadstring Brothers, they
wouldn't have to call it classic rock anymore, they'd just call it
rock. It's still here, and it sounds as good as ever.Fronted by
guitarist/vocalist and studio magician Kurt Marschke, the Brothers
pound out a sound that, in comparison to so much lo-fi indie rock, is
full and rich and sounds GREAT blasting out your car window. Filling
out the rest of the band is Masha, she of the blistering Tina Turner
energy, and a band of Brits whose love of the Faces, classic Stones,
Parsons, and the Band set the table for some top notch musicianship.(From Bloodshot Records, 5/27/09)
