Milwaukee Live Band News
Article by Examiner.com
Milwaukee based band, Decibully is on the road for the first time in three years to help promote their new album "World Travels Fast." This can be seen as more of a small pre-release tour, since the album is currently only available at their live shows, which are few and far between. A free streaming version of the album has been available online for close to a year, and is well worth a listen until an official release date is announced. With Polyvinyl Records dropping the band last year they seem to be going through a rough time finding a new label. As it stands they plan on self-releasing "World Travels Fast" on vinyl this December. For fans who may have had the pleasure of catching Decibully on their "Sing Out America!" tour the wait will prove to be well worth the while. Despite the lack of banjo that provided the base for the warm Alt-Country/Americana feel on "Sing Out America!" Decibully's evolving sound continues to be a wonderful thing. In the midst of all their struggles the band has managed to almost reinvent their sound. Both of their first two releases, "City Of Festivals" and "Sing Out America!" were very well received, and the band continues to remain that way in their home state of Wisconsin. But unfortunately without some kind of backing the band will have to continue with their struggle to reclaim many worldwide fans, as well as reaching new ones. "World Travels Fast" has been slow in the making, but placed into the right hands it has serious potential to bring the band to new heights they may have never imagined.
Tuesday night's show at T.T. The Bear's was one of only four east coast tour dates for the band. The show proved how essential it is for most bands to have some sort of promotional team in addition to a tour manager. Here you have a band known for their extraordinary live performances, who hasn't toured outside of their home state in over three years, and they played to a near empty room. In speaking with drummer, Aaron Vold, he rightfully expressed some frustration in mentioning that their Brooklyn show the previous night was more of the same. Despite the lack of a good sized audience the band performed as if it were a full house; a relatively short, but very sweet set for their loyal Massachusetts fans. Closing with "Megan & Magill" seems like a must for every one of their sets. The heavy (almost tribal-like) drums and general upbeat nature of the song leaves the crowd wanting more, and with the availability of "Sing Out America!" at least that won't be a problem.
