More About
When a band claims their song "Officer" is "jubilant post–T.Rex," well, investigation is called for. And damned if they're not lying. Precious but dirty and transcendent, Saint Rich—fronted by songwriter Christian Peslak and guitarist Steve Marion—also record under the moniker Delicate Steve, and have released two albums on David Byrne's Luaka Bop Records. Saint Rich's new one, Beyond the Drone, is just out on Merge.
Honorable mention for best band names: Fancy Regan, Krunk Pony, Flux Capacitor, Pants Exploded, The Oxford Coma, Bass Drum of Death, Logan's Run, Brunch of the Living Dead.
The CBGB Festival takes place October 9–13 at venues around the city. Visit cbgb.com for more information.
