This Austin band is heading to the LA area for several shows from June
3rd-June 25th.
From their bio written by Will Sheff of Okkervil River:
Brothers and Sisters is a band out of time. Led by real-life siblings Will
and Lily Courtney, their music entirely lacks the calculated cool of
contemporary indie rock and seems totally oblivious to the cynical
machinations of the music business. In an indie world currently hell-bent on
exhuming the still-warm corpse of post-punk, Brothers and Sisters reach back
to a sunnier age, when idioms as disparate as polished West Coast pop, rock
and roll choogle, AM radio balladry and classic country could still rub up
against each other at the same hazy Topanga canyon party. Live, the music
called up by this stage-cluttering eight-piece alternately evokes
classic-rock gods like the Band and Buffalo Springfield alongside
songwriters such as Dennis Wilson, Jimmy Webb, and the Mamas and the Papas’
John Phillips on his out-of-print classic John, the Wolf King of L.A.
