Abandon Jalopy: Death and Joy (2012)

BLIND MELON’S BRAD SMITH LAUNCHES KICKSTARTER FOR ‘ONE FOR THE ROAD’ DOCUMENTARY




Blind Melon guitarist Brad Smith has launched a Kickstarter campaign, below is a description:
Brad Smith, songwriter, producer and founding member of the 90s alternative rock band Blind Melon, travels to foreign countries to play music with the locals and explore the culture.
First Stop Argentina! Brad travels without a band to Buenos Aires to meet Gustavo who is a local concert promoter. Gustavo has assembled a band for him, sight unseen. The band is comprised of local Argentine rock musicians who have taken the liberty of learning a set of Americana songs. These songs will be rehearsed for a couple of days before performing a highly publicized live show, at a hip local club in downtown Buenos Aires. Brad, who hails from Mississippi, doesn’t speak Spanish and will rely solely on the language of music during rehearsals to convey how he would like the set to sound. The set list will be comprised of songs by Tom Petty, Credence Clearwater Revival, Blind Melon and, of course, Abandon Jalopy, Brad’s solo project.
The footage of rehearsals leading up to the live concert will be broken up periodically to give an account of Argentina’s beautifully warm culture, the people, the food and the landmarks. Much of the documentary’s emphasis will be on Brad’s experience immersing himself in the culture of Argentina, such as sampling the traditional drink of Mate and the intricate, traditional BBQ preparations that are unique to Argentina, as well as its nightlife. And since Brad is from Mississippi and has his own ideas about BBQ, (and music) there will be ample opportunity to cover the impending, although humorous, culture clash.
The show will close with Brad taking the stage with his new band of colorful Argentine musicians playing freshly tailored Americana songs in front of an energetic crowd who feels the language of music. No translator necessary.

se sabe cuándo?

si Brad sigue sacando discos a la altura de "Death and joy", creo que pocos necesitaremos nuevos lanzamientos de Blind melon.

te puedo asegurar que disfruté y festejé "For my friends" por todo lo alto, pero en comparación con lo que he escuchado (y escucho) "Death and joy"... este lo sitúo por encima, en esencia me parece un disco mucho mejor estructurado y natural.

Pues no se que le veis al "Death & Joy".... a mi me parece un disco bastante discreto y normalito. Un disco agradable y ya. No le veo nada destacable.

A mi "Death & Joy" me parece un muy buen disco, pero "For My Friends" , el cual retome hace poco, está a otro nivel.

Puestos a elegir espero con mas ganas otro disco de estos Blind Melon, pero ya que estamos pidiendo se podian compaginar ambos proyectos.
