About Me |
|
| Over football and beer, The Venisons were formed. Tired of the temperate singer/songwriter folk scene, N.L Sideburns and El Racoon-o combined their North Mississippi Blues, Rock and Punk influences. With the latest addition of Dan Jacobs (otherwise known as TalenteDan) and his broken organ and booming bass, the bands sound has been best described as "Blue-Wave" music. Some have described it as 'room clearing rock'. EL RACooN-o describes it as 'music you probably won't like'! You be the judge of that...but whatever it is, it is a shot of Wild Turkey in a sea of Coors Light that is the music scene today. WORD! | |
