Get "Borrowed" on
When you first hear the funk-soul band, it's no wonder the members are influenced by R&B greats such as Aretha Franklin and Otis Redding. But the members of the Tempe group don't exactly look like their influences.
"The first time I played some of the recordings we had done that (vocalist) Emma (Pew) sang on to people who didn't know who she was, their first question was, 'What does she look like?'" says guitarist John Krause. "I think it's a common surprise that it's a bunch of goofy white kids."
The band, made up of longtime friends, has been creating catchy tunes since 2007. Krause, who has played in other bands, decided to form a new one influenced by the '60s soul he'd grown to love. He invited drummer Chad Leonard and Pew over to hear some tracks and Black Carl was born.
Guitarist Matt Noakes and bassist Ian Woodward later joined, and they released a self-titled EP in 2008 and a full-length album, "Borrowed," in January.
