Jan 01 : "EveryBody Up" - The Gut Strings

Philly Music!

The opener of that evening at Blockley was another relatively new Philly band (2010), The Gut Strings. With music a bit darker and muddier than Look Out Houston, The Gut Strings also has a member who has moved forward from Long Walk Home. Kevin Ryan, who was the newest member of Long Walk Home, is out front doing a lot of the vocals with the The Gut Strings.

Also doing vocals is Ben Geise. Ben was the one who originated most of the songs, with Kevin and Phil Hutchins (on drums) bringing with them their own styles and sensibilities to make the band what it is today.

I would like to have posted one of their original songs either on my profile page or here on my blog page, but the band's original music isn't on Myspace, Bandcamp, or sites that allow cross-posting of individual songs to other sites. However, I can post a video of a Phantom Surfers Cover they did at the Grape Room this past August 3rd. The song is "EveryBody Up".

Right now The Gut Strings has a show scheduled for the Troc Balcony on January 13.
