Email this story Printable version Fans of The Brute Chorus will be delighted to learn that the band are planning to release their new single My Testament on March 12th.
Regulars to the Brute's exciting live shows will know it as the song that has adorned the end of their sets since last summer, a rapturous last hurrah that brings their show to a triumphant climax.
The single is based on a forgotten blues stomper by an equally forgotten Big Brown & The Gamblers that the boys came across while digging among the racks at Camden's Sounds That Swing, a mecca for record collectors and rockabilly fanatics. Now augmented with original verses by the band the song finds singer James Steel declaring what should be done with his earthly remains once he's gone, finally concluding
'...and if the grave don't want me I'll just wait alone here 'til doomsday...'
Self produced and possessing all the garage qualities of the band's beloved Dirtbombs or Billy Childish & the Buff Medways this record sees the band dancing their way to oblivion with their most upbeat and jubilant track to date.
My Testament is to be released as a free download to coincide with The Brute Chorus' first visit to America, a short tour beginning in New York and finishing with the band's first appearance at the renowned SXSW Festival in Austin, Texas. Come join the Brutes at their pre-SXSW party at Studio Private at The Old Shoreditch Station (1 Kingsland Rd) on the 25th February.
The Brute Chorus have entirely funded this entire American tour themselves, and have dug as deep as they can into their pockets and sofas, deeming a virtual 'passing of the hat' necessary to continue with their plans of an American initiation to The Brute's craft. In exchange for a small contribution at http://www.indiegogo.com/The-Brute-Chorus-British-Invasion-American-Mini-tour-SXSW-Tour The Brute Chorus can exchange gifts for small donations such as autographed records, limited edition Brute SXSW t-shirts ' or even perform their raucous, stomping set live at your party.
