I recently had this band thrust upon me, as these things happen in the world of the online musical marketing. This is inevitably a mixed bag, often as disappointing as a garage "lucky packet", which to the youthful mind seems to promise great riches, and only contains cheap sweets and some plastic toy unlikely to survive a moment of amusement, let alone the car journey. However, I have to admit to a lingering soft spot for Saturday Looks Good To Me, and so I could not resist investigating Drunken Barn Dance. It is quite hard, in my opinion, to get much of a grasp of a band from the odd snippet or streamed song (but then perhaps I am just old fashioned), and certainly, I am not entirely convinced on the name, but I have to admit to being quite taken with the single A Winter's Tale, off their sophomore release Grey Buried, which has just been released.
And, for a change, it seems to me as if their press corp has actually been rather accurate and lucid on the description of their sound. It is ramshackle, Neil Young country-rock, tinged with drunken behaviour, and a shaggy charm. But then I wouldn't take my word for it, and I encourage you to have a look at their blog or their myspace.
