Brooklyn’s Earl Greyhound — a Zeppelin-inspired power trio who take fervent notes from other bluesy psychedelic 70s groups like Cream, Big Star and T.Rex — announced their Spring Tour this week and totally ruined my summer by skipping the Twin Cities.
Not only did this band rock my face off at SXSW 07, their debut album, Soft Targets, (Some Records) is still a throwback favorite when I grow tired of Wolfmother and Black Keys, AND my photo above that features the Mayor of Austin and Earl Greyhound was actually printed in a high school text book used in Texas public schools this year. You would think I have some pull because of that…but no. No, I don’t.

I’m told the band will be previewing songs from their upcoming album during these shows, and following the tour, the group will head into the studio to record their sophomore LP.
Here’s the video for their track “S.O.S.” off Soft Targets:
