   About PHILLIP ROEBUCK


PHILLIP ROEBUCK Official News

"There's no niche or category to file this under. It's just simply amazing."
-Autopia

"Whirling one-man banjo ninja is in fighting form."
-Europe Intelligence Wire

"A stone-cold classic performer that blasts all other singer-songwriters out of their soporific, arrogant, self-obsessed torpor with his pinpoint melodies, frantic enthusiasm and homespun, heartfelt wordplay, one-man-band Roebuck's lightning fast banjo (dude can shred quicker than Kerry King man!) and incessant hotstepping to the beat really will get your juices flowing. Aided by yet another pristinely sparse Steve Albini recording that just lets Roebuck do what he does best, live, in the flesh, no airs or graces, just pure musicianship in action, and my god is it catchy!"
-CollectiveZine

Add to My Profile

Phillip Roebuck is a Virginia-born, New York-bred singer/songwriter and bare-bones one-man band. Using a classic depression-era type drum apparatus, worn on his back, and a ragged-but-right banjo style, Roebuck's music is steeped in roots but undeniably fueled by rock. Some highlights include...

John Peel Show - BBC - October 13, 2004
All Tomorrow's Parties - England
w/Shellac - Chicago
w/American Music Club - London
w/Nina Nastasia - U.S. Tour
w/Ralph Stanley - Chicago

(Buy)
FEVER PITCH is the most recent album - recorded by Steve Albini at Electrical Audio in Chicago and mastered by Nick Webb at Abbey Road Studios in London.

(Buy)
ONE-MAN BAND was recorded by Steve Albini at Electrical Audio in Chicago and mastered by Nick Webb at Abbey Road Studios in London.

(Buy)
INERTIA - This two volume set is the earliest record of the one-man band. Volume I was made in New York City using the original suitcase apparatus, including live tracks from the Times Square subway station. Volume II covers a session done in Seattle using the current set up.

(Buy)
UNDER THE MATCHLIGHT predates the one-man band by a few years. It was recorded alone in a barn in Pungo, Virginia.
