Sounds Like
Think retro pop, rock and soul colored with old time rag, swing and jazz, cracked-out a bit . Driving piano and vintage guitars, while somehow remaining in the americana camp. Sometimes 3 chords, sometimes 10. Smart, goofy and often dark lyrics. Oh, and we love to improv and record weird stuff.
In a music scene that is pretty self-contained, without drawing a lot of "outsiders" (i.e. suburban folks who don’t go out after sunset, folks who just go to dance clubs, folks who only want to hear cover bands), THE NEWBEES might just be one of the most recognizable original bands in the entire community. But the band’s cheeky jingle in that Gold Star Chili commercial is pretty far from what the band actually does on its CDs and live shows. While still pretty playful, there’s a richness, masterfulness (in songwriting and performance) and ear-dizzying diversity on display on the band’s latest, Amsterdam, the third part of the Newbees’ "accidental trilogy," which follows the exploits and dilemmas of a "burned-out, overworked Rock band" in the never-sober Dutch city. The band’s Pop songs are especially impressive, recalling The Beatles and early ELO in the best way possible. But they’re also pretty damn good playing Jazz (the smoldering "Molly"), and the barroom strutter "Are You Kidding Me" sounds like Nina Simone going postal on a brassy Broadway show tune. Don’t let the chili ad fool you -- this is one talented band. -- MIKE BREEN

Are you stoked? I'm stoked. My nerve endings are so hyper-sensitive I can actually feel my spleen functioning. It feels a little like chocolate sauce in mixing bowl set to slowly rotate until smooth. Word up you Bee-otches. nick
the newbees- "no hummer" bumper sticker is the only sticker to grace my ride. do you understand how special that makes you? pretty dag-dern special. i love youzzz.
I just uploaded some pics on my page. It's in an album titled Second Sunday on Main. Also I put a video up from that day of you guys on Youtube. Check it out. look for me under mattsmithyo.
I am listening to your Amsterdam CD right now. Most local artists I like to give a "courtesy listen" but you guys I can listen because its such good music. Too bad I moved far away from Covington. I wish I could have gotten to be involved in some way, even as a spectator.
Cheers guys - do I ever love "Amsterdam"? You bet! It was great to meet you at Wookey Hole - wish we'd talked more. I'm going to be recording soon and I'l send you a copy of the resulting CD when it sees the light of day. Keep up the excellent work.
