Hey losties...
(Hi Layne...)
I was
just wondering the other day if anyone on ye ol' liste had heard of a band
called Chasing
Furies yet. Their debut just came out on the Christian
label Sparrow. The reason I ask is because
they site Over the Rhine and
Radiohead as their chief influences... From their bio on their
Web
site...
"Collectively, they blend the kind of tight
harmonies that only siblings can create with edgy
rock
musicianship. The result is a sound that's both bold and
melodic—think Radiohead meets Jonatha
Brooke, artists that have,
incidentally, strongly influenced Chasing Furies.
The name, says
Rachel, comes from a combination of sources. "We're big
fans
of a band called Over The Rhine, and the 'furies' part comes from a line in
one of their
songs," she explains. "C.S. Lewis also wrote
about the mythological furies in his book, Until We
Have Faces, which is
a favorite book of Sarah's. And the 'chasing' part is a great description
of
how we are to be in this life: chasing and pursuing our
dreams."
Really pretty good stuff, imo. They've got a pretty
cool sound. _And_ they reside in good old
Boulder, just up the road from
me. Anyway, just a heads up on a pretty cool
band...
