So its been a while now since I have posted up anything. I've been busy...so there. Anyways I decided I would talk about Mustache Envy, and how much fun it was. My friend Brody (partner in crime) and I always talked about the concept of a two-man-band, and how what a great delivery it is. Just two people feeding off each others thoughts, energy and musical influences. Its bare-bones, up-front, and straight up ballsy. (Big Ones!!!)
This may go without saying but, the whole concept of Mustache Envy wouldn't exist without the Black Keys. With Brody and my affinity for the blues, we could not resists loving these guys. The Keys' sound may have changed throughout the years, but at the core they have always a firm grasp on where popular rock music started from, the blues. This is nothing new, every era of music has an artist/artists that puts a new twist on something that has been done before. But I believe that the Black Keys have done it in such a way that it seems seamless. When you listen to them, you feel like you have heard something like this before, but at the same time you have no idea where it is going. I bet you told them that they sound like Cream, I'm sure they would not deny that Cream was one of their influences. (I have no idea if Cream is one of the Black Keys influences, I just used them as a example.)
So to bring this all together, Mustache Envy is heavily influence on the Black Keys. I'm not saying that we are not even on the level of the Black Keys, but this was our take of what they are trying to do. I bet if you told them that they sound like Cream, I'm sure they would not deny that Cream was one of their influences. (I have no idea if Cream is one of the Black Keys influences, I just used them as a example.)
I had a blast making and recording these songs with Brody. I hope there will be more to come.
Thanks for reading,
