Weather Pending hit the studio to record their debut album in Spring 2008. Here is a little footage from the live sessions. . .Featuring Max MacVeety (from Crown City Rockers) on drums.
Recorded and edited by Dan Esser. Stay tuned to find out more about our upcoming release! We love you.
Paste us baby!
Weather Pending is a San Francisco trio that makes music with a subtle electronic groove that brings together jazz, pop, rock, dub reggae, hip hop, and world music. The band creates smoky late night grooves with a deep romantic resonance highlighted by Janie Oliver’s honey and gunpowder vocals, the dark, swooping tones of producer Rob Cross’s electric bass and the shimmering overtones of Brian Holtzman's lush electric and acoustic guitar. On their debut recording, And How!, they’re joined by guest drummers Max MacVeety and Derek G. Taylor who give the music a sense of swing much electronic music lacks. The resulting music is hard to categorize. Call it sultry songs with a cinematic, one drop, hip hop flavor if you like, pop music for grown ups with a cosmopolitan vibe that’s both unique and strangely familiar, with exceptional warmth and a quiet intensity all its own.

Imagine if you would, a musician that has lost the steadiness and control of his hands. My partner Vic from Hookstrumm knows this feeling too well. He was diagnosed with Young Onset Parkinson's at the age of 36. Despite this challenge, we have just launched our first CD - With or Without You at http://cdbaby. com/cd/hookstrumm. By supporting Hookstrumm you not only support the independent artist but a portion of your money goes into research and treatments for Parkinson's. To learn more, click on our CD Baby banner. Thanks.
