OJR (aka Oliver John-Rodgers) promised from the stage at Blackbird Tattoo and Gallery last Sunday that anyone signed up to the band’s mailing list would be sent a copy of their new recording "Nashville Demos" at least two weeks prior to its release date. He may have shed his ridiculous kimono at that point, but his cowboy had was still firmly in place. His bassist was in white high heels in honor of it it being National Woman’s Day. They would be the perfect example of insufferable hipster punks if the raw, bluesy jams they were dishing out weren’t so soul-scratchingly good. Hearing something fuzzed-out and psychedelic is nothing new in Nashville, but sometimes it takes some swagger in the delivery to make it click. Adding insult to injury, the band looked like they were having fun. Consider us fans. We’re looking forward to this first release since OJR made the move to Music City from New York. Until you can catch a live show or "Nashville Demos" comes out, listen to this bit of awesome from their last EP.
