Durand Jones & The Indications - Live: Vol. 1 [Translucent Blue Vinyl] (LP)

N/A

In 2012, Durand Jones left his small-town in Louisiana, alto saxophone in tow, for the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University. "€œBeing a singer was never part of the plan,"€ Jones admits. But soon enough he found his way in front of a rowdy rock 'n' roll band belting out a rambunctious rendition of Dock of the Bay, to a basement full of drunken undergrads. That rowdy band unfolded into The Indications which includes founding members Aaron Frazer (drums, lead vocals) and Blake Rhein (guitar).

Inspired by a handful of dusty and obscure 45s bearing names like The Ethics, Brothers of Soul and The Icemen, The Indications set out to make a record steeped in heavy drums, blown-out vocals and deep grooves. Gathered around a Tascam 4-track cassette recorder and a case of Miller High-Life, the group spent their Sunday evenings recording into the early hours of the morning. The result is their modern soul masterpiece Durand Jones & The Indications (Dead Oceans).

With comparisons from Charles Bradley and Lee Fields to Al Green, this young band are now at the forefront of '€˜60s soul revival. Their sweaty, fiery live shows have earned them a reputation for giving it their all each night which can be witnessed on Durand Jones & The Indications: Live Vol. 1.

Available for the first time on translucent blue vinyl, the album includes tracks from their debut and the deep cut soul covers fans have become accustomed to.
