Childballads – Cheekbones (Live)

Stewart Lupton was the singer of the late, great Jonathan Fire*Eater. He’s been playing around New York and D.C. for the last couple of years with a new band called Childballads. This is a track from the show they played at the Knitting Factory in New York on August 8, 2005. I see that they are supposed to have a single out in December on Loog Records (home of The Duke Spirit, Soledad Brothers, and The Bravery) and a full length out early next year. You know it’s going to be awesome.

I saw Jason perform three times, in 2004 (Charlottesville), 2006 (Baton Rouge), and 2007 (New Orleans). I spoke with him on two of those occasions. (More...)

In March of 2012 Stephen Merrit released the best Magnetic Fields album since 2004's i. The album features songs with classic Stephin Merritt charm and benefits from vast improvements in production over recent releases.
