What do you get when you combine the Brooklyn band Clear Plastic Masks with Brittney Howard of Alabama Shakes? One hell of a new band of course! We would like to introduce you to Thunderbitch via 2 killer tracks that have just surfaced.

Reportedly recorded in Nashville a couple weeks ago in a practice space when Alabama Shakes, Fly Golden Eagle and Clear Plastic Masks got together for a little session. No word on any other details or tracks to come from those sessions, but we’ll keep ya posted.

Follow Thunderbitch’s Facebook page HERE and keep an eye out, we’re sure this isn’t the last to surface from this new band or those sessions!. Enjoy:

Wow, do we love us some Fly Golden Eagle! The Nashville band has finally dropped their very first video, which is for the ‘Swagger’ track ‘Devil’s Eye (Basilisk).’ This comes out just days after returning from their tour opening with buddies Alabama Shakes.

But one thing this this video does well (other than showing people dancing) is documents this band’s #1 strength: A KILLER LIVE SHOW!.. Recorded in July at Nashville’s ZombieShop, check out the video below and if you haven’t already, download FGE’s debut full-length ‘Swagger’ HERE:

Clear Plastic Masks: ‘Pegasus In Glue’

September 10, 2012 0 comments

Back in July we had the honor to bring Brooklyn’s Clear Plastic Masks to their first Chattanooga gig, hosting them at our The South Rail Presents at Track 29 July 27th…Right after their Chattanooga set and tour with Nashville’s Fly Golden Eagle and Birmingham’s Banditos, while in the Southern town of B-ham, videographer Joshua Shoemaker (who had been filming all 3 bands during their whole tour) decided to have the band set-up after a local show in a random public parking lot in downtown Birmingham.

The result? A pure genius combination of rock n’ roll and cinematography! Enjoy the song ‘Pegasus In Glue’ recorded live in Birmingham below, a track that’s the b-side from the band’s brand new 7-inch ‘Working Girl.’

And if you missed Clear Plastic Masks in Chattanooga or anywhere else down South this Summer, don’t worry… The boys will be down camping out in Nashville the rest of the year, so expect some big things from this 4-piece before the year is out, especially if you’re in the area.
