Brooklyn, NY-based trio Daddy Long Legs—Brian
Hurd (vocals, harmonica, guitar), Murat Akturk (slide guitar), Josh Styles
(drums, maracas) have confirmed a run of UK & IRE tour dates for January
and February 2020.
"Daddy Long Legs takes the blues and turns them inside out, upside
down, round about and renews their primal energy. My favorite rompin’ stompin’
New York band of the moment." -Lenny Kaye
Produced by Jimmy Sutton and engineered
by Alex Hall (JD McPherson, Pokey LaFarge, Jake La Botz) at Hi-Style Studios in
Chicago, the band’s debut album, Lowdown Ways features 12
original compositions with songwriting contributions from JD McPherson and Sutton.
A new direction from their first two studio albums (released by Norton
Records), Lowdown Ways sees the boys widen their sonic horizons with field
hollers, gospel, Cajun, and Mississippi Hill Music, coupled with their renowned
supercharged, harp-driven R&B bangers.
When asked by Village Voice “What
is Daddy Long Legs?,” Hurd answered, “Rock and roll salvation
through the spirit of roots and blues.” While influenced by the likes of
Son House, Captain Beefheart, Howlin’ Wolf, MC5, and Dr. Feelgood, their sound
personifies garage rock and punk with a contemporary raw twist performed in
their own brand of supercharged R&B.
Leading up to the album’s release,
Rolling Stone Country named “Glad Rag Ball” one of the ‘10 Best Country,
Americana Songs of the Week’, citing “it’s all guttural hollering and
foot-stomping rhythms.” Brooklyn Vegan premiered the official video
for “Pink Lemonade,” co-written with JD McPherson and WFMU “Mornin’ Noon &
Nite”. Since forming in 2010, the band has released two studio albums, a live
album and two 45s on Norton Records. Their last album was 2015’s Rides Tonight.
They have toured with Jon Spencer, Hurray For The Riff Raff, The Sonics, Nikki
Lane, Nick Waterhouse, amongst others.
"Daddy Long Legs
have finally made a studio album that matches their reputation as a firecracker
live act. These 12 original songs expand and solidify their blues-punk sound
while keeping alive a tradition and vital part of American roots music. Sounds
great!" -Jon Spencer
"...like Chicago
blues fired at the moon, played by the demented children of the Pretty
Things." -Rolling Stone
