Full Length Album "until the evening came" now available for purchase at baskethouserecords.com and iTunes.

After nearly three years of crowd-roiling shows, plus multiple attempts at recording, basement band releases its anticipated debut album: a polished compilation of the group's best live songs to date.

REVIEWS!

"Basement Band is a modern take on the lush, harmony-driven folk/rock/honky-tonk of the glorious Laurel Canyon days of yore. The band's debut until the evening came is wise beyond its years."

- Village Voice

"Until The Evening Came is a remarkably consistent collection of dusty folk-rock gems, barreling barroom honky-tonk, and soaring harmonies. “Nine Days” is a standout track - a breezy country rock song whose multi-part harmonies sound like Crosby, Stills, & Nash jamming with Stranger’s Almanac-era Whiskeytown. Malinowski often demonstrates the unique ability to write songs that sound timeless."

- Pop Headwound

"Basement Band's highly acclaimed debut album Until The Evening Came is only a prelude of the wonderful balladry and stomping country rock to come from this band. And in some of the harmonies, they sound a bit like the Eagles. Or maybe the Eagles sound a bit like them!"

- Local Vertical

"It’s a first-rate album of 10 original songs infused with the musical inspirations of the Jayhawks, Wilco and Neil Young."

- Times Union



Bio:
basement band was founded by longtime friends songwriter/guitarist Jeff Malinowski and drummer John Durgee upon moving to Brooklyn, NY in 2005. The duo soon became a trio with the addition of bassist James Preston and they began performing their country-tinged, folk-rock songs in venues all over NYC and throughout the Northeast USA. Together, they labored to create intricate, three-part harmonies to compliment Malinowski's honest lyrics while also feeling the limitations inherent to a trio. As a result, the ensemble expanded and now floods the stage, with Amal Bouhabib’s honey-drenched vocals, Thomas Bryan Eaton's and Patrick Hay’s prodigious guitars and Bryan Trenis’s organ accompaniment often augmenting their original sound to a fever pitch.

In the fall of 2008, basement band released their first album, "until the evening came" - a stirring mix of barn-splintering rock and heartbreaking country ballads. They are now hard at work on a follow up due out as soon as they finish it!
