Aug 19 : "Johnny Nonsense" - GEEBS (New York)

THE FAST TRACK

Thursday night I went to Pianos after work and saw garage rock outfit "GEEBS" open up the evening. GEEBS is a two-piece band originally from Charlotte, NC. They recently moved to New York, and last Thursday at Pianos was their first New York show! It went very well.

GEEBS is Ezra Engler and Ian Duke. Their band has a very full sound with some fuzzy vocals, intriguing melodic lines, and distinctive arrangements to each song. And in the lyrics there's a heavy dose of relationship drama.

Here's a sample of some of their work. This track is from July, 2017. It's "Johnny Nonsense", and is the fourth track on their album, "Lucky" :::

So what's "The Fast Track"? I think Pianos was just as impressed with GEEBS as I was, because, while GEEBS was the opener last Thursday; on August 30, less than two weeks from now, they'll be back, this time playing the prime spot at the end of the evening !!!!! Here is the click to their August 30 show at Pianos: GEEBS at Pianos on Aug 30.

GEEBS has a huge amount of work on line. Quite prolific! Here is the link to their Bandcamp page: GEEBS on Bandcamp (CLICK HERE).
