The Aught-Threes Are: Brian Maselli-guitars, vocals, credit card debt Levon Veils-bass, loop programming, fetching good looks Angela Darrow-vocals, cat-like reflexes Michael Coulter-drums, prank calls Things They're Saying About Us: The Aught-Threes play indierock that comes painted up in country colors. It's not country per se, but the colors are there--shades of Nashville-style harmonies, classy lead vocals, and a pace that shuffles along past Wilco, strides in step with Low, before outpacing the Jayhawks and breaking through the paper race ribbon. --Portland Mercury-- ________________________________________________________ Here's an algebraic history: BSC-(P+J)=(B+L) (B+L)+A+M=x x equals 03. Blue Star Creeper minus Paul and Justin equals Brian and Levon. Add Angela and Michael to get The Aught-Threes. It's that simple. Here are a few story problems: 1. If Brian writes thirteen introspective songs on an acoustic guitar, and if Levon obsessively programs electronic loops for each of them, how long will it take Angela to come up with exquisite harmony vocals for all thirteen songs? 2. If, in the course of recording the thirteen tracks for Bystanders Often Do Nothing, the trio begins to feel that the acoustic electronica direction is neither sustainable nor transferable to a live setting, how long will it take them to layer the songs with electric guitars, lap steel, slide guitar, guest musicians, and live drums instead? 3. If, in thinking about playing the thirteen songs live, the trio begins to feel the need for a drummer, how long will it take them to find one who is superb? 4. If the resulting record perfectly represents both the genesis and the metamorphosis of the band, how many listeners will enjoy hearing it? 1. Not long. 2. Ummm. . . long. 3. One phonecall long. 4. 1.4 billion (approximately) Check out the artist's website: http://www.theaughtthrees.com Track List: 1. All His Getaways Were Clean 2. Another Record You Won't Get 3.
