Electric Blues Band MORELAND & ARBUCKLE bring group to an end after current tour wraps
Alligator Records recording artists Moreland & Arbuckle, whose latest album Promised Land Or Bust recently received a 2016 Blues Music Award nomination for Rock Blues Album Of The Year, have decided to amicably dissolve the band. They will play the remaining booked dates on their tour calendar. Guitarist Aaron Moreland plans to spend more time at home with his family. Vocalist, harmonicist and songwriter Dustin Arbuckle plans to continue making music and touring. Drummer Kendall Newby, who joined the band in 2012, also intends to keep playing professionally.
Over the course of their 15-year career, Moreland and Arbuckle have played hundreds of shows, performing in the United States, Canada, across Europe and in Australia, Iraq and Kuwait.They've shared stages with ZZ Top, George Thorogood, Buddy Guy, Robert Cray and Los Lonely Boys. No Depression said, “These guys have kegs full of talent. Their songs will keep you driving fast and long.”
Over the course of their 15-year career, Moreland and Arbuckle have played hundreds of shows, performing in the United States, Canada, across Europe and in Australia, Iraq and Kuwait.They've shared stages with ZZ Top, George Thorogood, Buddy Guy, Robert Cray and Los Lonely Boys. No Depression said, “These guys have kegs full of talent. Their songs will keep you driving fast and long.”
According to Moreland, “I’ve had extraordinary opportunities playing music my entire life. The best shows have been the highest of highs. After 15 years on the road, it’s time for me to focus on what’s most important—my family.”
Arbuckle says,"The last 15 years have been an incredible ride. I especially want to thank Aaron for being my partner in this endeavor. Creating and playing music with him has been one of the greatest parts of my life. I wish him nothing but happiness in the future. Playing and touring afforded us the opportunity to have so many great experiences and meet even more wonderful people. I want to express my tremendous gratitude to all the friends and fans who have supported us over the years. I plan to continue my career as a touring musician, so hopefully I will see all of them again in the future. In addition, I have to give my most heartfelt thanks to everyone who has been a part of this band and to all those who have helped build it. It's been great and I will always cherish the memories of the good times we've had."
Moreland & Arbuckle brought fierce electric fury and unrelenting punk rock energy to their original songs, inspired by raw Delta and Mississippi Hill Country blues. With each of their six releases, the band grew musically and lyrically, creating a signature sound while earning a large and loyal worldwide fan base. Their legendary raw and raucous live shows were played with wild abandon. The New York Post said, "Moreland & Arbuckle have a raw juke joint exuberance with a dirt-under-the fingernails garage band attack.”
From their 2005 self-released Caney Valley Blues to 2016's Promised Land Or Bust, Moreland & Arbuckle grew from a fiery, crowd-pleasing duo to a genre-smashing three-piece band. Together, Moreland’s simultaneous bass, rhythm and lead guitar work and Arbuckle’s emotionally-charged harmonica and edgy vocals—driven by Newby’s propulsive drumming—created a sound forceful enough to grab a listener’s attention and nuanced enough to hold it. American Songwriter said the group’s music was “swampy, sweaty and muggy...mixing a bluesy foundation with bits of country, folk and squawking American rock and roll.” WNYC’s Soundcheck said the band played “gritty blues with a thoroughly contemporary bite.”
WATCH ICELANDIC ROCKERS KALEO PERFORM
ON THE LATE LATE SHOW WITH JAMES CORDEN
Los Angeles, CA - April 26, 2017 - Icelandic rockers Kaleo visited the Late Late Show with James Corden last night to perform their single "No Good" off their critically acclaimed debut album A/B. Led by singer JJ Julius Son, Kaleo delivers a distinctive blend of bluesy alt rock with "otherworldly vocals." (Rolling Stone). To watch Kaleo's performance on the Late Late Show with James Corden, simply see the embedded video at the bottom of this post.
Their appearance on Corden comes fresh off the heels of Kaleo's Coachella music festival debut, where the band blew crowds away with a performance that the Huffington Post described as "the secret star" of the festival. Fans will have the opportunity to experience Kaleo live this summer when the band performs at some of the biggest music festivals around the globe including Lollapalooza in both Chicago and Paris and the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in June.
Named by Rolling Stone as one of their "10 New Artists You Need To Know," Kaleo's performance on The Late Late Show with James Corden follows a number of major TV appearances including ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live! as well as NBC's Late Night with Seth Meyers and TBS' Conan.
Kaleo's A/B includes the multi-format rock singles, "All The Pretty Girls," "No Good," and the #1 alternative breakthrough "Way Down We Go." "Way Down We Go" marked the band's fourth top 10 hit at three different radio formats in the US. "Way Down We Go" has been certified GOLD in US, Belgium, Ireland and South Africa and platinum in Canada, where it reached #3 on the Alternative radio chart.
WHAT CRITICS ARE SAYING ABOUT KALEO:
"The Icelandic foursome begin with a Bon Iver-y hush, then bloom into holy fervor."
- Entertainment Weekly
"The band's dark, spooky ballad 'Way Down We Go' is the perfect showcase of Julius Son's otherworldly vocals."
- Rolling Stone
"Kaleo is a mix of Southern influences, from soft and sweet folk songs to blues rock and jagged '70's guitar anthems."
- The Associated Press
"[A/B] stands as a perfect example of Kaleo having universality in good songwriting that works across countries."
- Noisey / Vice
"...falsetto-fueled balladry meets Icelandic grandiosity."
- NPR
"Kaleo hail from Mosfellsbaer, Iceland, but you wouldn't know it by frontman JJ Julius Son's fine-tuned biker-soul growl or the overheated garage blues on the band's major-label debut."
- Rolling Stone
