While on vacation in New York two weeks ago, I went to Webster Hall in the East Village for $1 beers and came across one of the best live bands I've heard in a while. I was totally blown away. I was just expecting a night of cheap drinks and crappy electro music but was delightfully surprised to find myself magnetizing towards the stage where, if I wasn't paying close attention, I could swear I was seeing the reincarnated spirits of Ray Charles, the early Beatles, Elvis and Little Richard jumping and jiving on stage.
Say hello to The Rhodes.
The Rhodes is a 4 piece Soul and Motown inspired band from New York. Their sound is very Motown inspired. Think of the early Beatles albums versus Ray Charles and a little bit of doowop thrown in. Actually, now that I think of it, they remind me a bit of that band in that movie That Thing You Do.
I (Lucas) was able get a hold of Derek Daunicht, vocalist and rythm guitarist for The Rhodes for a quick little Q&A.
