The Black and White Years - Austin, TX strikes again!


Introducing
The Black and White Years

I have been looking forward to scribing on this band for awhile, but I am chronically, as they say, backed up with new music and artists releases. What drew me to this band? They are intelligent, raw and they have a sound (a groove, really,) that is part their own and part of the indie-band collective consciousness. One listen and you will begin to pick up elements of the Talking Heads, Beck, Of Montreal and David Bowie in these songs. Not a bad mixing bowl. Then the band - living in Austin, TX - have the South-by-Southwest Music Festival // Indie-Rock ground zero thing going for them... By sharing the Black and White Years, I bring a little Austin and consequently independent rock into your life. (Is that good for a tax write off or something?)


John Aldridge: Bass, Brass
Scott Butler: Guitar, Piano, Vocals
Landon Thompson: Lead Guitar


Songs from

Is there anywhere that you know of in Austin to buy The Black and White Years' albums? I've been checking for about a year now!
Thanks!
