Portland Mercury preview of our show at Dante’s

Jemison — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 22:46:27 +0000

The kind folks at The Portland Mercury wrote a nice blurb for our show at Dante’s last night:

“I want to quit my job, burn my house to the ground (or maybe just sell it), and join Balthrop, Alabama. This 11-piece ragtag Brooklyn ensemble of Southerners—Alabamans, to be exact—thrives with a vivacious theatrical flair, using their indie pop leanings (the wit of Magnetic Fields, the urgency of Arcade Fire) to create an entire movement in the guise of a rock ‘n’ roll band. They are literally their own community (“population 11″), and keep the conceptual theme going with short EPs that wondrously follow certain topics—Subway Songs, Cowboy Songs—to their end. Tonight you will be tempted to shed your former life and hop onstage to join the band. Why not make it an even dozen?”
