MSF recently supported Nashville's answer to Nickelback and came out safely on the other side - a harrowing experience that would dictate the end of most bands - but MSF are still here to tell the tale.
Over the past year Morrison Steam Fayre have developed naturally and diligently into a mature, fresh and unpretentious band. With shows in London, New York and a triumphant performance at 2008’s Truck Festival all under their belt, MSF have gathered a discerning set of fans.
Reid and Aaron had existed under the name Morrison Steam Fayre for some time, and in early-2007 were joined by Tomer on drums - who had just parted ways with New York band Robbers On High Street - and by Dan, who prior to that had been plying his trade in various bands and as a session musician. After a few spells in the rehearsal studio, it was evident that this combination would work really well – a complimentary style formed very quickly, and above all else there was a sense that they had paid their dues over the years. Thus there’s never been any ego or “attitude”, just solid musicianship, a compelling and energetic live show, as well as a passionate ear for a song.
Live, they are joined by Pete Roe on the keys who regularly tours with Laura Marling as well as being a talented song-writer himself. The live shows are invigorating and skilful, with Reid’s soaring vocals complimenting Dan’s complex but playful riffs; while all this is backed up by Aaron’s soulful bass and Tomer’s solid, up-tempo beats.
‘Time Will Tell’ is a new recording that was produced in the UK and New York – a piano-driven track that jaunts through Reid’s rock ‘n’ roll lyrical musings in stylish fashion. “Time will tell, time will teach you well” – now is the time to discover this band for yourself.
