THE HOUNDS BELOW
NEW MUSIC PROJECT FROM THE VON BONDIES’
JASON STOLLSTEIMER
CONFIRMED FOR SXSW IN AUSTIN THIS MARCH
THE HOUNDS BELOW–the new band formed by Jason Stollsteimer, frontman of Detroit’s The Von Bondies–will make its way to Austin this March to debut their new material at SXSW. Details of their showcase will be available soon.
Focusing on the beauty rather than the volume of the song, the six-piece band creates a melodic landscape that layers a lush, early rock-and-roll feel over spacey guitars and an atmospheric-sounding organ. “Two Step,” “She’s Alchemy” and “Crawling Back To You” are just three of the new songs music fans will get to experience at The Hounds Below show in Texas.
Bonding over a mutual appreciation of old and new music alike–everything from Roy Orbison to Black Rebel Motorcycle Club–THE HOUNDS BELOW have a sound that spans decades, yet is distinctively their own. Real Detroit columnist Jeff Milo describes the Hounds' style as "presenting a swathe of moodier R&B, smoky soul, stately 50's pop, and still maintaining that dreamy atmospheric fuzz rock sheen." (10/20/09)
In the trenches of a post-divorce state of mind, Stollsteimer began writing dark, alluring ballads that would eventually give rise to THE HOUNDS BELOW. With every reverberating note, the band captures the remorse and poetry behind lost love. But that's not to say that all of their songs are lachrymose. A sizeable proportion of upbeat, danceable numbers completes the sound and provide for an energetic performance. Whether live or recorded, THE HOUNDS BELOW will captivate and haunt all who listen.
