A few weeks back, we told you about Bands Banding Together, a project being undertaken at Welcome to 1979, the studio complex owned and operated by Chris Mara (who also records the Upstairs at United sessions; go enjoy some video from the Cults and Bobby Rush sessions that went live last week, including the best non-Beatles version of "Come Together" I’ve heard yet). If you recall, Bands Banding Together began with an open call for participants interested in doing a live-to-lathe recording — as in direct-to-vinyl, zero undo, don’t screw up the last song or you have to do the whole thing over recording — who could register through Feb. 15. The next phase is a Facebook poll to determine who will get to participate in the project, and the ’79 camp tells us that the poll is live now! Of the 10 finalists, the five who receive the most votes will be making a unique direct-to-disc LP later this year. There’s a decent range of styles among the finalists, and a fairly broad geographic spread; three are Nashville bands, and the rest are from all across the eastern half of the U.S. Your Finalists: – East Side Americana pickers Don Gallardo and How Far West – Music City pan-American punks Max and The Wild Things – Northampton, Mass., folk rocker Jamie Kent , who hits my ear like The Wallflowers – Philadelphia’s Toy Soldiers , a little less country than Promised Land Sound but in similar territory – […]
