GIVERS consists of several musicians from various improvisational groups all centered in southwestern Louisiana, who have combined to form one cohesive music making body, creating what they refer to as afro-beat, dancy pants, indie pop love music. GIVERS specialize in sounds that gather together melodically and electronically bent forms of african, folk, and pop music, but send them underwater, where they are refracted with light and space, changing the overall shape and texture into something refreshingly new, yet at the same time, familiar.
As one of Austin's favorite local bands, The Lemurs have been recommended by the likes of the Onion, the Austinist, the Austin Chronicle, WOXY.com and 101x. Alternating between guitar-driven dance-rock and memorable power-pop songs, their constant rhythms always translate into an entertaining live show.
Borrowing from some of the production tactics of classic dub recordings, with a small dose of noise rock, Austin, Texas-based The Laughing has constructed an album of songs that bears only slight resemblance to its broad spectrum of influences, in turn creating something special and unique. Of the album title, band leader Logan Middleton explains, “’Fever’ was the title of a book I discovered as a child that had extensive accounts of my now deceased grandfather’s work as a missionary doctor in West Africa and his discovery and treatment of highly fatal disease known as Lassa Fever.”
