The Weisstronauts with Hayley Thompson-King @ Salvation Cafe March 8th
The Weisstronauts: Hard to categorize guitar-based instrumental rock. Think: twang, surf, spy, psychedelia, lounge, rock, semi-funk. Not necessarily in that order. The Weisstronauts are a rock band formed in 1999 in Boston, Massachusetts by producer/musician Pete Weiss. The group initially played a combination of vocal-driven power pop, alternative country, and garage rock, with lead vocals shared by three singers. By 2001, however, the band was concentrating on writing and performing eclectic instrumental rock, eventually employing three lead guitarists. http://weisstronauts.com
Hayley Thompson-King: "Juke-joint rhythm and blues bump up against heartsick country, tinges of psychedelia bleeding through the garage-rock performance. Throughout Psychotic Melancholia, Thompson-King's vocal delivery is just what the doctor ordered." Micah Schweizer, Wyoming Public Radio for NPR
""...an explosive display of vocal prowess." -PopMatters
"Hayley Thompson-King is here to kick ass and take names. Youd hardly know this fiery rock and roll queen has a formal education in music (she graduated from the New England Conservatory of Music) as her music feels like it was reared in a Southern roadhouse." -Glide Magazine
"Few artists posses a duality quite like Hayley Thompson-King ...equal parts Reverend Horton Heat and Nikki Lane." -Wide Open Country
