Undead Gentlemen at Strange Horizons
My friend and frequent collaborator Molly Tanzer has an awesome interview up with the undead band The Widow's Bane over at Strange Horizons. We're fortunate enough to have The Widow's Bane as a local act, meaning we've seen them quite a few times, but unlike what you might expect from a zombie pirate band they're far more than a one trick pony--their sound varies wildly from song to song while maintaining a high level of quality and technical proficiency. They're obviously a helluva lot of fun live, but their recordings are every bit as good, if a little different--think of the Ramones or the Pogues live versus their studio stuff. The interview has plenty of samples of their music included--a decided advantage online music journalism has over print--so get thee to Strange Horizons...
