Limbeck

Years from now, when all of the oil in the world dries up and we're relying on huge, genetically engineered carrier pigeons to get us from point A to point B, a smile will crack your leathery faces when you recall driving around in the summertime, windows down, cranking some good tunes and feeling that sticky Kansas City summer breeze in your hair. Limbeck would be one of our top choices for providing a soundtrack to such a time. Combining the orchestral pop of Brian Wilson with the sawdust-covered-wood-floor stomp of Gram Parsons, Limbeck brings some of that golden California sun (minus the smog and the global warming) every time the band comes to town, even in the depths of February.
