Reversing their usual process, SCI created and recorded the songs on Believe before introducing them in concert. The band's eclectic palette of styles has never been more apparent - from the funky wah-wah guitar laced with tribal percussion of the title track and the "catchy little number" that is the sing-along single, "Sweet Spot," to the country/hip-hop hybrid of "Get Tight," the Eagles homage of "Down a River," with its Appalachian a cappella chanting, the Beatles/Pink Floyd psychedelia of "Flying" and the Afro-Caribbean reggae riddims of "Beautiful."
Each of the individual members' musical influences come shining through - Bill Nershi's love of roots Americana, southern rock and British music; Michael Kang's affinity for primal soul; Keith Moseley's country, classic rock and bluegrass; Kyle Hollingsworth's funk and singer/songwriter folk, and
Jason Hann and Michael Travis' African beats and electronic collaborations (as in their band EOTO).
The April Spring Cheese 2017 shows continue this week with three nights at Stubb's in Austin and dates pick back up this Summer for festival performances and a trio of nights at Red Rocks. A full list of tour dates can be found below.
