Uncovered Cover: Elliott Brood covers Feist



Elliott Brood, the alt punk trio who played a headlining show at Mohawk Place and an opening slot at Thursday at the Harbor this year in support of their latest release Days Into Years, just released a cover of Feist's "Graveyard."  The original track can be found on the Canadian songstress' excellent 2011 album Metals.  The fellow Canadians turn the Feist original into a Depression Era horror folk number with great finger plucking banjos and echoing harmonies as the song reaches it's dramatic coda.  You can listen to the cover and the original below.  Enjoy.

Tonight: Arkells



Arkells are back for yet another show in WNY at tonight's installment of Thursday At The Harbor. And if that sounds like a negative, it's really not. Their headlining show at the Town Ballroom's "All Canada Night" in February was sharp, energetic, and fun; they opened for The Maine a few months back at Club Infinity, and now they're back to finish the job and win over yet more local music fans with their smart and satisfying power pop. 


For a nice twist tonight's night of free music will feature a co-headliner in the form of Gomez. Fans of musical geography will note that Gomez hails from Southport in the county of Merseyside, 16.5 miles from Liverpool; and fans of indie rock will note that their tasteful harmonies  and tuneful Spoon-like rock go down easy. Opening duties will be handled by Toronto's very own Elliot Brood, and the show starts at 6 PM.

Tonight: Elliott Brood



To say Toronto based alt-country trio Elliott Brood had humble beginnings is a bit of an understatement. After all, they did release their first EP, Tin Type, in a brown paper bag, and toured using a suitcase as a makeshift bass drum (see picture). Now on their third full-length, Days Into Years, which was released on their new, fittingly named label, Paper Bag Records, Elliott Brood’s sound has blossomed and even broken into the top ten of National Campus radio charts. The group will be playing at Mohawk Place tonight with fellow Canadian garage rockers, The Pack A.D. whose sound has been likened to The White Stripes and The Black Keys. If you’ve got a palate for folk, bluegrass, country, blues, or rock and have $10 ticket money to spare, then get yourself over to Mohawk tonight. Show starts at 8.
