Another amazingly fun night with Assembly of Dust
So thankful that these guys come around the Philadelphia way every so often. Maybe they're not really widely known, but Assembly of Dust is a great band. Lyrically one of the better bands around, musically tight and interesting, and just all around fun to see live. I love that I get to see them in Philadelphia's smaller clubs (Foundry, Ardmore Music Hall, Union Transfer, World Cafe, etc). This was my first trip to the Fillmore Philadelphia's smaller club The Foundry. The sound was good from was, and seemed to be pretty clear throughout the spacious venue. I like the bar placement and the fact that you could get to it from all four sides. Couches around the sides and back gave the place a loungey feel. Great band, great show, great, venue, and most importantly, a great time. I can't wait next time. Thanks
Bio
“As a child I can remember locking myself in my room with a big old set of headphones and listening to the Band's Music From Big Pink album over and over again,” said Reid Genauer, the lead singer and founder of the New York based quintet Assembly of Dust. “Besides loving the hell out of the music, I was intrigued with the production value in the recordings. As I listened I felt almost like I was there in the room with the Band at a moment of perfection. That intimate listening experience drew me in and is what inspired me to be a musician.”
Drawing on that influence and countless others, over the last ten years Assembly of Dust has crafted a unique sound that recalls the likes of the Band, Traffic and Neil Young. They have taken that early 70's Americana swagger, put their own funky spin on it, and earned comparisons to the next generation of Americana heroes including Ryan Adams, Mumford and Sons and Wilco. Hooky melodies, poetic lyrics, and a profound depth of musicianship prompted USA Today to say Assembly of Dust has what it takes to "dazzle the Alt-Country universe."
