Venomin James

In studio were three of his band mates as well as Auburn Records president Bill Peters who debuted tracks from the forthcoming Disk from the band due out on June 29th. Jared leaves behind a family of 5 that still need your help! To find out how you can jump here.

May 7, 2010 (Cleveland, OH) – In support of their debut EP, “Pony,”
Cowboy and Indian will be playing an EP Release Party at The Beachland
Tavern on June 1, 2010. The Cleveland-based band, who was selected by
FILTER Magazine as the “Undiscovered Band of the Month,” will be
opening for Saddle Creek artist The Mynabirds.  The show, which
coincides with the release of their EP, kicks off their
Midwest/Northeast summer tour.

“We’re really excited about this Release Party,” says bassist Brett
Sherman. “Our EP has been in the works for a long time, and we’re
eager to share it with everyone.” The band has also released a Team
USA hockey-themed video for “Save Your Soul,” their lead single.  The
EP will be available at the Release Party at The Beachland Tavern on
June 1, 2010.

About The Band: The duo met at Princeton University, where, as an
undergraduate, Indrany Datta-Barua took an introductory logic class.
Sherman, who was earning his PhD in Philosophy, taught the course. A
few years later, the couple was living together in Long Island City,
Queens.

In their basement, Sherman modified a Gibson G3 bass, installing three
output jacks and a unique switching configuration, allowing for a
powerful live sound. At his urging, Datta-Barua began writing melodies
and lyrics. She soon discovered that her background provided a rich
source of inspiration. “As a Texas native, I grew up listening to
country music, so I have an affinity for storytelling through song.
Besides, I think it’s a medium that really resonates with the
immigrant experience, which is a huge part of who I am.”

Though they describe their sound as “country music from the future,”
their music draws from many genres. Sherman, classically trained on
the upright bass, has also played in jazz and indie rock bands. Their
producer, ROAR, does most of his work in the Brooklyn hip-hop scene.
He also connected the band with Harlem rapper Vast Aire (of indie
hip-hop duo Cannibal Ox), who recorded a verse for their song “Cold
Day In Harlem.”

In June of 2009, the pair moved to Cleveland, OH, where Datta-Barua
began her first year of medical school at Case Western. “It’s been a
challenge, managing school and the band,” she admits. “But things are
tough for everyone these days.  Hopefully, people will hear that in
our music.”

Akron’s favorite sons announce the release of ‘Brothers’ on May 18th!

The new album includes the Danger Mouse-produced song “Tighten Up” (streaming now on the band’s MySpace: myspace.com/theblackkeys) and a cover of the Jerry Butler classic “Never Gonna Give You Up.” The remaining songs on Brothers are written, performed and produced by The Black Keys. Carney admits Brothers is the album they’ve always wanted to make and taps into their creative force as a duo. “Dan and I grew up a lot as individuals and musicians prior to making this album. Our relationship was tested in many ways but at the end of the day, we’re brothers, and I think these songs reflect that.”

You can pre-order tickets for their upcoming tour at theblackkeys.com which will include a special bundle of ‘Brothers’ (either digital only or digital and vinyl/CD) and you will also be able to download 2 songs right away, the first single ‘Tighten Up’ and ‘Next Girl’.
