   About alamo race track
It's not hard to imagine Alamo Race Track sitting around a run-down house in the Netherlands (that's where they're from), telling each other stories, picking up their instruments to play a little something, and then getting another drink and wandering off to look at the sunrise. This is, in fact, the aesthetic of the wildly popular YouTube clip for the title track of their new record, Black Cat John Brown (Minty Fresh; July 24, 2007), which has been viewed over 430,000 times: the band and a few fans are crammed into a tiny room, the band strumming out the song on acoustic guitars. The song was also just featured on ABC's Grey's Anatomy.

Black Cat John Brown combines familiar sounds in unfamiliar ways, like several radio stations playing all at once. Some tracks have an identifiable post punk syncopation (most notably the absolutely scorching "Northern Territory"), others are more like echoy, countrified blues ("Black Cat John Brown"), and still more are fairly difficult to classify: a quieter Pixies, early Radiohead with pizzicato strings, Soft Bulletin-era Flaming Lips with The Strokes, and more. At all times, the tracks are aggressively melodic, frenetic, and driving.

Formed in Amsterdam in 2001 when the band, then called Redivider, lost their keyboard player but decided to change their name and carry on, Alamo Race Track have already developed a devoted following in Europe and beyond. They are veterans of several major international music festivals (SXSW, The Netherlands' Lowlands Festival, and more), have appeared on numerous French television shows, and garnered glowing reviews in the Dutch press. Let's close, though, with some US praise, from The Austin Chronicle about their appearance at 2007's South By Southwest: "Alamo Race Track. . . spills blood on the tracks with the shake 'n' bake of Silkworm and Jesus Lizard."

Apr 25 2009 7:27 PM

Graag attendeer ik JULLIE als Amsterdammers, topmuzikanten , muziekliefhebbers van (misschien wel Calexico?) Roots, Americana, folk en Singersongwriters en gezellige mensen :-) op het volgende Event op vrijdag 1 mei, een ingelast intiem optreden van:
the Epstein (UK), een 5 koppige band uit Oxford die al tot 2 x toe op het Glastonbury Festival stond als ' Best Emerging band' in Engeland verzorgt een speciaal, intiem en semi-akoestisch optreden in Amsterdam en dit optreden is helemaal gratis te bezoeken!

De band wil namelijk zeer graag hun optreden van de volgende dag op het Rhythm&Bluesfestival in de Oosterpoort te Groningen promoten maar nog belangrijk; ook heel even onze hoofdstad bezoeken. Het zal krap worden op het podium en hopelijk ook in de zaal dus: kom dus allemaal vrijdagavond 1 mei naar Cafe Bax, Tenkatestraat, Amsterdam. Helemaal gratis (zelfs de band speelt gratis!) en het beste after queensday kater remedie!
