J*DAVEY-EVIL CHRISTIAN COP: THE GREAT MISTAPES

Anytime new J*DaVeY music is released I am always thrilled. Their sound is ever-evolving and I  always appreciate the direction of new material. This morning Brook and Jack tweeted that Evil Christian Cop: The Great Mistapes was out and I literally dropped what I was doing to listen. Check out some of the new tracks and download via Bandcamp. Also, check out our Artist Spotlight with them in case you missed it. Good shit!

J*DAVEY – SMELLS LIKE TEEN SPIRIT (NIRVANA COVER)

With cover songs sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. This one certainly is a win. A big win. Only available for stream right now, but hell at least they were nice enough to let us listen to it. I’m not complaining at all. I suggest checking their Bandcamp page to see when it will become available.

BLIND I ARTIST SPOTLIGHT:J*DAVEY

Tucked in the basement of New York City’s S.O.Bs, Miss Jack Davey and Brook D’Leau were chatting quietly as the venue began to swell with fans, eager for an electrifying experience. Surrounded by band members, managers, photographers and friends, they were relaxed and in their element, slowly gearing up to hit the stage. Both dressed in tanks and shorts, alternating between sitting Indian style and leaning forward intently, the pair reflected on their decade-long journey and the incredible milestones along the way. From being invited to open for the legendary Prince to cranking out classic EPs that have built the J*DaVeY NaVeY movement, Jack and Brook had more than enough to discuss. Rather than hitting them with strictly staff questions, Blind I opened the forum for people to submit questions for the group, which come towards the end of the interview. If you missed the footage we posted shot by our very own concert ticket winner Corey Davis, check it out.
