This band is playing Yeti on Friday at 1pm and C-Boys Saturday at 2:45pm Inside. The SXSW bio says:
Gold Star's Marlon Rabenreither grew up in L.A. with a native son's sense of what's real and true and a childhood fascination with the Beatles, teaching himself to write and play a special kind of stark guitar-noir Americana that soon got him opening for Ryan Bingham and an admiring Lucinda Williams. On his new Autumn Tone release Big Blue-named after the ramshackle Hollywood home where he produced and recorded the album-he shines and redefines the sound of his self-titled 2013 EP and his 2015 full-length Dark Days to reveal an autobiographical work as influenced by writers like Fante, Baldwin and Chandler as it is Neil Young, Leonard Cohen, Wilco or Elliott Smith. If you didn't know better, you'd think it was one of those lost classics-but really it's just a long letter from a young singer/songwriter both weary and wise beyond his years.
"Fade Away" is a mix of Ryan Adams mingled with War on Drugs. Good song.
"How to Shoot the Moon" is a nice acoustic tune. I like his voice.
This is good, too. We may have to make an effort to see him.
