A Good Man is Hard to Find by Flannery O’Connor
This is a recording from 1959 of Flannery O’Connor herself reading A Good Man is Hard to Find at Vanderbilt University.
Probably one of the coolest things in the world right now. Also, it’s included in the special features of John Huston’s film version of Wise Blood, recently released in the Criterion Collection.
Funny story. My amp blew up.
Actually thats not funny.
But it is true.
We’ve been working over time this week, in the studio, at house shows, at WUSC, NBT, Christmas at Red Bank, and we ALMOST made it to the end before we had severe equipment failure just before playing live on WUSC’s the Columbia Beet, nevertheless it was a hoot and we love those guys dearly. Thanks for putting up with us.
Also, we’ve been diligently working on some new tunes made especially for cold weather and we are happy to announce that we are almost done recording, look for an announcement in the next few days…
The Sea Wolf Mutiny is a four piece Indie rock band based out of Columbia, SC. Drawing from a wide range of influences such as Neil Young, U2, Bob Dylan, The Beach Boys, Mewithoutyou, and the literary works of Flannery O' Conner, The Sea Wolf Mutiny has fused a Indie Folk sound to ecstatic rock. From their first house shows to their CD release of "The Last Season" their sound has been characterized by a tumble and swagger infused with a tenacious and belligerent joy that is as contagious as it is catchy.
Their debut album "The Last Season" is the end of a long process of formation. Recorded at Archer Avenue Studios by Kenny McWilliams, the album is as much a beginning as it is a close to a tumultuous time in the band members lives. The album was largely written while Guitarist Danny Oakes lived in Charlotte, NC working in his father's print shop while lead singer Bobby Hatfield worked monotonous night shifts at a dead end job. Band practice was late at night and scattered across the midlands, in attics, garages, sheds, and houses; where ever they could manage to secure space without having the cops called on them (and sometimes they were). The band formed under these stresses, with Phil Kearse moving from bass to drums for the first time while completing two degrees at university. At the same time Dave Ohlman joined the band to play bass while balancing a career as a carpenter and master painter. "The Last Season" was finalized in the sanctuary of a half demolished church lent to them by a local Anglican parish, the resonance of liturgy lingering and mingled with a rising swirl of tone, brick dust and wooden rafters, is the emotional soul of the album.
Released to a near sold out Crowd, the album has been gathering momentum and selling out as fast as they could make CD cases (all cases were screen printed and put together by hand). 'Quickly emerging as one of the most talked about bands in the columbia music scene, The Sea Wolf Mutiny's sound has been compared to Band of Horses, Fleet Foxes, and Coldplay. Paired with a energetic live performance fronted by Bobby Hatfield's contagious enthusiasm and 'one of the most beautifully compelling voices on the local scene' (Otis Taylor, The State), The Sea Wolf Mutiny is set to move into the next season with shows lined up around the southeast and more to come....
