Meet the Middle Eight. This NYC-based indie/pop/rock band has just released their new 5-song self titled EP featuring songs that will grab your ears tight and not let go. The band has garnered a huge positive response at their shows, and their single, “Love; Pass it On” will be featured in an upcoming major motion picture starring Catherine Zeta-Jones titles “The Rebound” slated for release in 2010.
With these songs, old ones from their first release Unwind, and even newer progressions, their performance has evolved into “an overall entertaining experience”, with a great deal of attention to dynamics, captivating hooks, and rocking out.
With a sound awash in influences ranging from Radiohead and Wilco to The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, the Middle Eight’s music is destined to find a home on many iPod playlists.
Called “the next big band out of Brooklyn”, The Middle Eight is looking to reach a broad audience and pass on the loving!
Lead singer/guitarist Jason Olshan started the band with drummer Tallin Lamonaca in 1999, but everything clicked when the group was joined by bassist Steve Plekan and keyboardist David McTiernan whose textural soundscapes add to the classical and jazz influence of the others. The band frequents countless venues in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Boston from The Bitter End and Le Poisson Rouge to Public Assembly and Harper's Ferry.
The Middle Eight is named after the British term for a song’s interlude – a London Bridge, if you will.
