Crooked Coast w/s/g Eight Feet Tall - Live at Grumpy's Pub
Crooked Coast was formed in the summer of 2012 by Cape Cod natives Luke Vose, John McNamara, Ben Elder and Charles Walton. They distilled their hometowns celebratory summers and harsh winters into the 2013 album Thanks for the Memories with infectious hooks, sweaty dance floor rhythms, big guitars and wordplay both gut wrenching and irreverent.
For two years they toured the East Coast playing festivals, clubs, bars and colleges. They also conceptualized and self produced music videos and turned their band merchandise into a budding clothing line.
In 2015 they released Wildlife. Capenews.net described it as, an album that pops with wild swagger. Wildlife is the sound of a band that has grown together. The production is polished but the songs are brash. Driven by Walton and Elders thunderous rhythm section McNamaras full throated rock n roll howl and Voses raw nerve, heart on the sleeve rap/singing volley back and forth over blistering guitar hooks. The album has shades of the Strokes on the doomed love song Domino, Social Distortion on the country punk number Martyr and Sublime on the sun bleached World Spins where Luke remembers, I was sixteen in a Honda hatchback/ Doing one-sixteen down route six and back.
The lead single Go Back is tipsy trip through the memories a small town. Charles Waltons DJ Premier inspired drums drive the story about being pushed into a cold world. John McNamara sings, I remember all the times before/ Well that wont happen anymore/ All the times that I regret/ Im all set/ You cant go back again, before the song breaks into gang chorus of brothers in arms.
Pixy 103 radio DJ Lori Lori quickly picked up the song saying, I had to play them. Its has a very catchy melody that will keep you singing long after you hear it. The music, the voices and the energy make this album one to own for sure. 95.5 WBRU put the song into rotation as well saying, The mix between indie rock and hip-hop is not too common, yet Crooked Coast manages to add a unique twist on both genres.
They filmed a music video for Go Back with director Nicholas Santos on location in NYC and Cape Cod capturing the energy of a band on the verge.
The recent music video for No Caroline No is a sun soaked island party with boats, floats and skateboards.
Crooked Coast continues to pave their own road to success with bold music, visual art and explosive live shows touring the east and west coast.

Eight Feet Tall has been pushing technology and live instruments to new heights. The tools they utilize in their live show are those that most bands only dare to use while manipulating their studio albums behind the scenes.
Essentially this means what you hear on their recordings is what you get at their live show, an evolving breathe of fresh air in a devolving industry.
8FT has played packed shows at every major club in Boston including Brighton Music Hall, Royale, The Paradise and House of Blues. They've passed their sound around the Northeast on various occasions.
Not only have they opened for Grammy Award Winning Acts Ozomatli and Rebirth Brass Band, but they were then invited on stage to join the band during their sets.
When you attend an Eight Feet Tall show you'll leave realizing you did not just see a concert, you saw a performance.
