11:30 AM - the Privates

View original photo

I was going to say I had no recollection of where I read about the Privates but I just realized that it was on Out the Other. What caught my attention was probably what will initially grab most people who check out the Privates: the "members of..." thing. In this case you've got Lambchop (respectable), De Novo Dahl (awesome), the Features (even more awesome), and the Pink Spiders (well, say what you will, but at least you've heard of them.) The band's sound is definitely an example of modern Tennessee indie rock, or what I know of it at least - not too far off from the bands it's own members are/were in (mostly the Features) There's a bit of a swagger that reminds me somehow of Ted Leo and these guys would go nicely on a bill with some of NYC own hotshot bands like Takka Takka (speaking of which - a photo I took of them at the Syrup room is in New York Magazine this week!) and the Harlem Shakes. Seems like it's hard for the Privates to do much touring (due to other band responsibilities and such) but they're trying to do as much as they can in 2007 - hopefully we'll get to see them here in NY some time early in the year. Their debut full length, Barricades, came out this week on the new label, Mean Buzz.

I've got three tracks for you:
The Privates - "Barricades" (my pick of these three)
The Privates - "Hearts got a hole"
The Privates - "My Shoes"
