Straight from Brooklyn’s DIY scene, Bad Credit No Credit marches onto the stage in a wave of cheerful provocation, combination of socio/political consciousness and a blatant lack of inhibitions. The groovy brass-based septet is fiercely led by its charismatic singer/sax player Carrie-Anne Murphy, who seemingly can sing but would much rather scream and roar her discontent, telling tales of alienation, misogyny and other delights to the sounds of punk-infused jazz and instrumental freakouts. Which is just fine, as it makes for a most convincing (and entertaining!) performance.
Having raised enough funds to ‘kickstart’ their debut album ‘The Whole Buffalo’, which has been in the making for the last two years and is now about to be released, BCNC left us a little treat for the road, dedicated to their generous donators: a cover of Joe Cocker’s popular take on ‘You’re So Beautiful To Me‘. They will be playing with Ancient Sky, Gross Relations and Turnip King on Friday (8.17) at Brooklyn’s Cameo Gallery.
