Mellow Drunk - One Thousand Lights

Mellow Drunk's fabulous third album, One Thousand Lights will finally be released on 27th October 2008 by Berlin based label Vollwert Records who describe it thus:

A great new Album with rockin' and rollin' tunes and a

big touch of melancholy.

Leigh Gregory the great San Francisco Singer/Songwriter

played with his band a modern Independent Rock Sound with a great

touch of Californian coolness.

For me this is definitely the album of the year. Buy it now!

Mellow Drunk - One Thousand Lights

One Thousand Lights is the third, currently unreleased LP by Mellow Drunk. Recorded in 2005/2006, it is only available as a podcast on Podbean and Itunes. It is such a rare treat these days for me to get excited about a new record but I discovered this band towards the end of last year and this is just great. I can't believe that they don't appear to have a record deal. Looking at leader Leigh Gregory's site seems to suggest that he's moved on from Mellow Drunk but it would be a crime if this brilliant recording wasn't put out by someone.

Mellow Drunk. What can I say about my new favourite band? Discovered purely by chance whilst searching for info about another old favourite of mine, Rain Parade. It's not entirely clear whether they still exist and their fantastic third LP, One Thousand Lights, is currently only available as a Podcast. Great tunes sung in world weary tones by Leigh Gregory (think Peter Perrett of The Only Ones) surrounded by multi layered spine tingling guitar provided by Ricky Maymi of The Brian Jonestown Massacre. Psychedelia tinged rock that recalls the best of the Paisley Underground but brings it bang up to date. They have been compared to The Church & Black Rebel Motorcycle Club amongst others but the two albums that I have heard so far surpass these bands. Searching the internet can net you at least an LP's worth of free tracks to sample but here is somewhere to start;
