This is real sad... But my boyfriend who just passed away showed me them.. I was inlove with Phoebe and he was in love with Conor and then he was like hey.... " Did you know... And then I fell in love with BOCC... We'd blast y'all and sing along together.. I'm glad I have these memories. Thank you for the music.

In an interview Phoebe said that she wants to be known as a versatile singer, singing lots different styles and not only one...And I have the impression that BOCC turned out so well in that aspect. She and Conor seem to really enjoy not only the playing but each others company. They seem to balance each other out not only artistically but on the human level aswell..A joy to watch and listen to..

That's Griff from Dawes on drums. He's a great drummer and deserves recognition.

[@BIGmanDAN72]

I was searching for sk. Eone else who noticed!!! Also Wylie recorded the bass on the album

[@leeasbury7273]

Dawes are all individually masters at their craft. And collectively, they're bigger than themselves. I can't think of a band that sounds so deep and complicated, but simple, honest and innocent that's around today. Not a band that has its own unique 70's vibe in a completely modern and interesting way like those boys do anyway. People are gonna discover their music for years to come and wonder how they snuck through this time in music largely underappreciated and unnoticed. I think its a good thing. I wouldn't wanna risk compromising Dawes free creative flow for extra success.

[@Bosumofficial]

@@leeasbury7273 In Belgium we have ‘Balthazar’. A band in which each member has it’s own project. Really worth looking into! Your comment triggered me to share them with you :) Side projects of the members: -Warhaus -J. Bernardt -Zimmerman -Nightman

Give a thumbs up for Danelectro Baritone guitars if you have one or appreciate them. (He was playing a red one in this video) Five frets longer than a standard guitar, and will open up your playing. If not, just capo the 5th fret and it plays like a normal guitar.
