Neko
Influenced by Queens of the Stone Age, Dinosaur Pile Up and Muse, Tom Brennan (vocals and guitar), Luke Knight (bass) and David Cassell (drums) formed “NEKO” while attending high school (incidentally the same high school which produced their friend Mike Kerr of Royal Blood).
The three have overcome personal tragedy and band break-ups, to emerge strong as one of the South Coast’s best and most exciting new rock bands.

When Neko Case sings with full concentration, she often braces herself, as if for impact. Feet planted wide, knees slightly bent, she leans into a posture of preparedness.
Her arms hang at her sides, but not idly; she forms her hands almost into fists. She doesnt sway or shift. Her only movements occur from the shoulders up, as she measures the weight and potency of a drawn-out vowel, adjusting her nearness to the microphone.

Neko Case Wild Thing

Case and her “strays" — a half-dozen pianos in varying degrees of disrepair that she has collected sit in her Vermont barn during the recording of her latest record, Middle Cyclone.

With their maple bacon, American cheese and Thousand Island dressing, Samburgers ...
