He’s My Brother, She’s My Sister

A rocking band traveling the West-coast & Mid-west USA.

He’s my Brother She’s my Sister, aka HMBSMS, is a band with flare, touch, tap, and style. A unique approach to music and crowd participation. In fact they invited some of the wildest and bravest crowd members to sing with them on stage. HMBSMS has a very heavy tour schedule, and is constantly on the move. After seeing He is my brother she is my sister in Eugene, Oregon, I had to talk with them. The band members were kind enough to agree to a phone interview (click here). The night was clear, the flow of beer, and the music was here at Sam Bond’s Garage. The sibling vocal harmonies were noticeable in the incredibly cohesive sound despite the Rob having the flue, and sweating profusely during the entire show. The percussionist Lauren, standing on a kick drum tap-dancing, danced with enthusiasm and a purpose. Rachel’s beautiful vocals and occasional tambourine shakes kept the flare alive. With walking bass lines and sliding lap-steal guitar, the sound was keyed in. HMBSMS opened up the microphone up to other members of the audience, who gratefully grabbed the mic to scat and howl the night away. With a taste of Eugene, this band wanted a little more, entertaining an encore to the fans delight.

With an extremely heavy tour schedule, the band will likely be within a couple hours away (if you are in the USA) from your home town. Check out their tour schedule here:

Human Nature – Tribal Spectrum

Tribal Spectrum

*Sam (left) Greg (right) {See Picture Above}

“How do you describe your sound? It is the hardest thing in the world to do.” – Sam “I don’t want to follow other’s sound, and create that kind of music” Sam said [referring to the main-stage aka house music] “as long as we do something other people are not”. They are staying true to their name and embracing cultures left and right. Greg shapes the sound with his tight rhythm on the drums and his ‘bangers’ for the nightlife sub-loving ladies from the bay area while Sam stretches their comfort zone into foreign lands such as India, Ireland, and Nepal to name a few.

Listen to how Greg rips up the acoustic drums during their live digital set. The last 5 minutes exemplify Greg’s superb drumming. Tribal Spectrum (live 6.12.2012) *Download –> Right Click & Save As

Wanderlust Wednesday- Ode to New Grass Revival

May 9, 2012 By Sober_Raver Leave a Comment

“Our reason for doing the newer-type music wasn’t pretentious or irreverent or sarcastic or disrespectful,” explained Curtis Burch. “We just felt like people were ready to see that you could really expand the sound, using those same instruments.”

Ah, the sweet sounds of New Grass Revival. The group, formed in 1972 by four former members of the Bluegrass Alliance, brought bluegrass into an entirely different realm. Long hair, everyday clothing, and fresh sound put a new face on traditional country pickin’. Plus, they had the father of bluegrass, Mr. Sam Bush. The progressive group was graced by the presence of not only Sam Bush, but Courtney Johnson, Ebo Walker, Curtis Burch, Butch Robins, John Cowan, Bela Fleck, and Pat Flynn throughout the band’s life. The real reason I wanted to share this get down bluegrass band with you all, however, was for this kick ass video below. I hope everyone enjoys it as much as I do. Plus, they look damn good.
