The Giving Tree Band

Lead by enigmatic brothers Todd and "E" Fink, The Giving Tree Band are making their way to the head of a classy class of young American songwriters and performers. The Finks extended their brotherhood to all 7 members. Starting out with only a collective heart as big as the ocean, they now wield a wide array of instruments from acoustic and electric guitars, slide guitars and banjos to violin, mandolin and pedal steel. A band's band, they all live together, travel together and do everything as one family, harmonizing their voices and lives on and off stage. The Giving Tree Band is not reinventing but simply reuniting rock and roll. With their down-home style, they emphasize the virtue in their fierce virtuosity - approaching each note with integrity, each part with humility, each song with honesty and each show with gratitude.

When Southampton’s Band Of Skulls played a sold-out gig at London’s Forum in October 2010, it was a performance befitting a band honed by two years of constant touring, their sun-kissed melodies sweeter than ever, their riffs heavier and dirtier.. “In our minds, our first album [2009's debut album Baby Darling Doll Face Honey] was quite an intimate little record,” says singer/guitarist Russell Marsden from behind his trademark bug-eye shades, “But it turned into this huge rock thing in venues across the world.” The Forum gig marked the end of one chapter in this young band’s life. Late in 2010, faced with the prospect of beginning work on their as-yet untitled second album, they stole away to a remote studio in rural Norfolk with nothing but each other, their instruments and some strong red wine for company.


This Must Be The Band

This Must be the Band is a Talking Heads tribute. Since May 2006 they have been playing to sold out crowds all over the midwest, and have recently expanded to national touring, especially in the Rocky Mountains. They are known and loved for their ability to bring Heads music alive in a new way every show. Once a year, however, they feel the need to play Heads music note for note, and they do so by re-creating the famous Talking Heads concert film Stop Making Sense. In 2010, they sold out the Park West in Chicago with this show, and again in 2011 at the Vic Theater. This band likes to play for many many hours, so please contact them if you feel the need to dance for many many hours.
