As you’ll know by now, we are fans of Rochester, New York’s Televisionaries, the rock ‘n’ roll combo featuring brothers Austin, Brendan and Trevor Lake, and their friend Aaron Mika. For this new 3-track EP they teamed up with Les Greene, frontman of The Swayzees, also responsible for Little Richard’s vocals in Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis film and soundtrack. It’s a golden combination, in which the danceable sound of the band forms the ideal base for the singer’s soulful throat. Opening song Airbound is a raging floor filler, after which the pace drops slightly for powerful soul hits Reconcile and Few and Far Between. Live even more fun.
Televisionaries & Les Greene is out digitally and on vinyl 7″ through Nu-Tone, a division of Hi-Tide Recordings.
