Event information
Society are a country rock band from West Sussex who specialise in gorgeous three part harmonies that set them apart from the current crop of Americana or West Coast rock wanabees in the UK. Comprising guitarist Matt Wise, bassist Ben Lancaster and on all things percussive F.Scott Kenny. Matt Wise composes most if not all of their material and when all three sing in harmony the result is simply stunning.
Apart from their own UK headline shows, Society have completed two tours of Canada along with a string of dates in the American mid-west gaining a whole new legion of fans in the USA. This constant touring has honed both their musical and vocal chops and in the winter of 2008 Society left their disused stable that served as their rehearsal space and spent time at The Brickhouse Studios near Brighton recording their debut release entitled SONGS FROM THE BRICKHOUSE.
The album is a collection of eleven original songs from the pen of Matt Wise and arranged by all three band members. The songs on the album echo their love of all things West Coast, Laurel Canyon and the great country rock music of the mid seventies, yet bringing their sound right up to date with a distinct indie feel.
Their live sound has echoes of C.S.N.Y, The Band, The Heartbreakers, The Jayhawks and the late great Ronnie Lane and Slim Chance, but the band definitely has a distinct character of its own. If you’re a lover of any of the afore-mentioned greats, you will love this band!
