J. Roddy Walston and The Business, like Jerry Lee Lewis fronting a 70′s glam rock band. [Album Review] — HearYa - Indie Music Blog

The story of a blogger and his last days at SxSW 2009.

I wanted to catch the Futurebirds set on an outside stage at the 40 Watt Party. On our way out, the Futurebirds’ manager, Jay Steele, told us to catch a set by some dude in the parking lot and guaranteed we’d love it. Dreaming of warmer climates and jealous of Jay’s Patagonia fleece, I didn’t even pay attention to the name of the band.

J. Roddy Walston and The Business and they won two new fans in Oz and myself. The self-titled new album, released conveniently during Chicago’s summer party days, lives up to that 20 minutes in Austin. The quartet delivers a sound like Jerry Lee Lewis fronting a 70′s glam rock band.
