- 5 years ago
Blackout Balter sit down for a One On One Session at City Winery New York on December 15th, 2016. Watch the full session here: https://youtu.be/f3EuE4GFwpA For more info visit: http://blackoutbalter.com Audio & Video by: Ehud Lazin
Setlist:
Heavy Hand
Goodbye Cambridge
Surf
Hello Operator
An alternative rock band from Cambridge, MA. Our debut EP, featuring Dave Keuning of The Killers, is available for pre-order now!
Stop us if you’ve heard this one before: a vocalist from a little-known, unsigned band from Cambridge, Massachusetts, gets introduced to the guitarist from a 7-time Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum-selling, arena-playing rock band. Impressed with the unsigned band’s demo recordings, the guitarist invited the group to record at his band’s studio and said he wanted to play on the record.
It happened last summer, when Phil Cohen, lead vocalist/guitarist for Blackout Balter, met up with Dave Keuning from The Killers and listened to the demo together. Within a few weeks of that meeting, Blackout Balter was at The Killers’ Battle Born Studios in Vegas recording their debut EP with producer Robert Root.
The result is Twist and Bend, an electrifying 6-song disc of punk-dusted alt rock that’s been described as early Weezer meets The Pixies. Keuning plays guitar on two of the tracks (“Heavy Hand,” “Hello Operator”) and cello on a third ("Goodbye Cambridge”).
