This is the first touring band to appear on the show! They were in town a little while back playing with Brother Oliver and Banditos, and they were kind enough to sit down to a session with little ol' me. I enjoy this sound. It's... hard to pin down... But great! If you're ever in Brooklyn, or if they're ever playing near you, go see them. Check them out: http://www.stuyedeyed.com follow this show: http://bit.ly/hoodoomusicpodcast
