 Hailing from Baltimore, The Pale Stars consists of musicians from other groups coming together to present their take on Americana.  Taking the hard driving beats and melodies often associated with Americana or Alt-Country, the band then adds the reverb and effects heavy guitar sound often heard in 80s shoegazer bands.  Nice mixture if ya ask me...

Have to say the Pale Stars tunes are fab, check em' out or not...
 
 Saw Baltimore's Gavin Elder and his band One False Move this weekend and will have to say his CD "Rock and/or Roll" is a keeper.  Think Super Furry Animals , a dash of this and that but nothing  done to excess. Produced by Ken Coomer of Wilco fame who plays drums as well on the record.

   Myspace page of course
