Jango Song Of The Day-Vinegar Socks

Artist:Vinegar Socks
Song:Life In The Sewer
Album:Vinegar Socks





So I'm listening to this folk group Vinegar Socks and I have a video clip for Life In The Sewer. And I'm wondering if they're from Kentucky or Tennessee because they're a Jango emerging artist and I hadn't heard of them but they're very good. Guess what, folks? They're from Italy. The group is led by guitarist singer songwriter Jordan DeMaio and violinist Paolo Petrocelli along with bassist Matteo Locasciulli and percussionist Filippo Schinina. They've been touring Europe for a couple of years with acts like Joan As Policewoman. And they also worked on the soundtrack for the film Dieci Inverni which premiered at the Venice Film Festival. The video of Life In The Sewer is from an appearance on MTV Soundwave in June 2008. And I guess word has spread and Boston based indie label Grinding Tapes Recording Company signed them up and released their debut CD in Dec. 2009. They sound great and if you're a fan of this kind of acoustic music, you'll want to check them out. The only problem is the CD is not available from Amazon so I can't put an ad up for it. You can get the CD directly from Grinding Tapes and a dollar from each sale goes to the Sacco And Vanzetti Foundation. http://www.grindingtapes.org/ I always like discovering new music and Vinegar Socks is a great folk group. Here is Vinegar Socks performing Life In The Sewer on MTV Soundwave June 2008.
