"Modern Days" is going to be Shoe.'s 3rd full length CD given that 2005, and it offers to be the hookiest and most mature effort to date. Gardner's melodic digs are usually peanut butter sticky,parajumpers long bear, Shoe.Is bass lines and also rhythms are heavy gooey goodness, their instrumentation is lush and interesting, along with historically Gardner has shown the knack for finding the right musicians to complete his or her musical vision. The particular songs on 2005's, "Pack Me With Your Clothes", and 2007's do it yourself titled sophomore offering, "Shoe.Inches, are pop stone meets garage head dance face. Using tremendous melodic presence, Gardner's arrangements move seamlessly from upbeat ultra pop, through delicate, wispy, or even pensive, interludes,parajumpers jakke dame, into frenetic fevered dance chaos, all to settle with show tune sparkle, and Gardner's inclination to use his speech as another instrument, instead of simply as a car for his cut of life insightful and heartfelt lyrics, opens the door to textures, and rhythmic along with melodic possibilities, which are truly unusual. Shoe. has spent a lot of time testing. While the band is unquestionably Gardner's baby, its sound has always been solidly party oriented. For most of the recorded function, and the live shows at the same time, there is a serious concentrate on musicianship. Not just stellar actively playing, but conceptually intriguing connections between the various noises, and a sonic environment in which finds each instrument, (and player), supplying their own voice, but doing it in a way that is quite reactive and inclusive. To ensure one guitar might be playing about three notes, ("chicka tweedle chick woman twee twee"), but those paperwork prop up what everyone else is doing, (and vice versa). At times, it's rather heady stuff. In fact the particular cast of heroes reads a little like the who's who of Detroit indie rock, and it is chock full of musicians who may have since moved on with other exciting projects. Original Shoe. collaborator, Chad Kashuba, wrote the first score for the wildly popular, Made in Detroit, musical version of the cult basic zombie flick, "Night in the Living Dead". He has also written over Three hundred songs with his flute inclusive rock band CKB, and has piles of acting, creating, and musical loans in Detroit over the past 15 years or so. Chad is in Eugene, Modifies name now, cooling his / her jets, and staying out of the limelight at the moment. Other past Footwear. contributers include, Mikey Brown, at the moment with Chicago's Twilight Infants, and Detroit's's own The Lincolns UK (featuring longtime Twistin Tarantulas guitarist, classic vehicle enthusiast, and local performer and web designer, Marc "Stretch" Nischan and his lovely wife), and also a founding member of The Bannisters, and a primary face and creating force on the fabulous local YouTube funny series, Ced n Teri; Charlie Bongo, presently with Detroit ska legends, Superdot, (Bongo happens to be putting together a project called Body Cast, yet very little information is available today, except that he is likely to have the entire wedding ring play their exhibits while wearing body casts); wildly talented multiinstrumentalist solitary artist, Phredley Brown; percussionist Paul Loos, who may have since gone onto perform and prepare with the Lions drum collection, and also at Pistons video games with their drum line; and too many more to note. Shoe.'s latest lineup is Dustin Gardner in vocals and tips, with Sean Corcoran on drums, Jamiel Dado on bass, as well as Doug Smith on various guitars, and their new CD, "Modern Days", is set for a Summer 20th release at The Belmont in Hamtramck. |
