Burgess Meredith is a indie-pop band that takes heavy inspiration from the era during which their namesake was playing The Penguin on the original Batman TV series. The vocals on their debut EP, Banana Moon, vary from the softness of Elliott Smith to the distorted cry of The Strokes’ Julian Casablancas. With full chorus lines, forceful rockabilly piano, and some tastefully brief and delightfully fuzzy guitar solos, Burgess Meredith are a great new band that has quite the knack at reinterpreting 60’s pop through modern garage-rock. Catch them this Friday at The Beale St Tavern at 10pm, along with with Chase Hamblin and Good Field.
