Artist: Oakley Hall: mp3 download Genre(s): Rock Discography: Gypsum Strings Year: 2006 Tracks: 9 When Oneida's Pat Sullivan left the band in 2001, he wanted to try out something a small more country. He formed Crazee & Heaven, simply it was a short stretch. Sullivan wasn't defeated, however; he gathered some of his Crazee & Heaven bandmates -- drummer Will Dyar, bassist Jesse Barnes, and monkey player Claudia Mogel -- to frame Oakley Hall. Podunks songwriter Steve Tesh, banjo player Fred Wallace, vocalizer Leah Blessoff, and guitarist Ed Kurz completed the batting order by 2002. A class later on, with a smattering of East Coast tours and a self-released EP under their belt, Oakley Hall issued their self-titled full-length for Bulb. Kurz besides left the band and was replaced by Ted Southern. Around this twenty-five percent dimension, Sullivan endured a irritating combat injury to his right hand spell working on a building site, simply thankfully, he precisely lost one finger, not his ability to play. Dyar, Tesh, and Southern finally exited Oakley Hall by 2003, with Blessof following in 2004. With a new batting edict consisting of Sullivan, Greg Anderson (drums), Wallace immediately on electric guitar, Mogel, and vocaliser Rachel Cox (the Podunks, the Ospreys), Oakley Hall began crafting a tighter, galvanizing countrified sound. The conclusion resultant was deuce records: Irregular Guessing was released on Amish in early 2006; Gypsum Strings arrived that June. The following yr, later touring with Bright Eyes and sign linguistic process to Merge, the stria issued their fourth uncut, I'll Follow You, short subsequently which drummer Anderson left to focus on former projects and was replaced by Pat Wood. |
