Moneybrother to get US release in 2010
Moneybrother's most recent album "Real control" will get a US release in early 2010 via Bladen County Records and he should be back in February for more tourdates. At least that's what the man himself told me at the show on Friday. I've seen Moneybrother in a lot of different places all over the world (LA, Umeå, GBG and now Seattle) and it's always a little different with this last one being the oddest yet. Moneybrother with an acoustic guitar and a brand new 75% American pickup band in a small club, playing first and trying his hardest to win over the room? That's a far cry from performing in front of a friendly festival crowd. He didn't act entitled though, he worked it like the struggling musician he is in this part of the world and I gotta respect that, even if I'm not too into his latest records (or the quieter, acoustic format for that matter). Now as for whether or not he'll break through here I don't know, but he's certainly putting forth the proper effort.
