Benjamin Davis and Sebastien Schultz of Bad Veins have some very exciting times ahead of them. The orchestral-meets-indie pop duo has a self-titled debut album, coming out on July 21, with the radiant Gold and Warm slated to be the first single. Not only are they armed with a well produced album, they also have the support of Dangerbird Records, who has pushed the careers of bands such as Silversun Pickups. Currently on tour across the entire United States, with dates along the way in Canada as well, Bad Veins are fully ready to embark upon an intense promotional journey to bring their music to the public.
I caught the show on Wednesday, July 1, 2009 at the Echo in Silverlake, CA which was part of a benefit for the Pablove Foundation, supporting the fight against childhood cancer. They played a captivating show despite rolling into town a few days before without most of their own gear and having to borrow bits and pieces from friends and other bands. The Echo was packed and the crowd was definitely giving the band some affection.
