Georgie James - Places - mp3 review
Anyone see any good CMJ shows? I didn’t really go to shit except the Insound party and one or two random shows. This post is long overdue as the record came out at least a month ago, but I wasn’t sure if I was *allowed* to send it out. But, now I have permission so enjoy and let me know what you think.
Georgie James is a new, classic four-piece pop/rock outfit from Washington D.C., featuring John Davis (ex-drummer of the defunct Q and Not U) and D.C.-based singer-songwriter Laura Burhenn. Having met through mutual friends, Davis and Burhenn (who had released 4 solo albums on her own Laboratory Records prior to this project) found out that they both had an affinity for retro-pop from the 1950-70’s; subsequently, they decided to start working together as a band derived from said style. Davis would handle guitars and drums arrangements while Burhenn oversaw the Rhodes electric piano - both would share vocal duties. A few hours later they had written a few songs, and decided this was a worthy project to take aboard.
