We’ve entered a new age of White Denim. The only founding members of the Austin, Texas band left are James Petralli and Steve Terebecki. Former members Joshua Block and Austin Jenkins helped produce Leon Bridges’ debut album and have left to continue to work with him and pursue other projects on the production side of things (such as Nicole Atkins new album). The show must go on, and White Denim now includes guitarist Jonathan Horne, drummer Jeff Olsen and multi-instrumentalist Mike St. Clair. They wasted no time re-introducing themselves, releasing their new album Stiff via Downtown Records this March.
Their tour featured two shows at Bowery Ballroom, and we were able to catch their second performance on April 26, with opener Sam Cohen, who released his new album Cool It earlier this year via Easy Sound Recording Co.
The new lineup didn’t miss a beat, sounding as tight and lively as ever. The new songs are typical White Denim gems, a collaboration of different genres and styles that absolutely kill in the live setting. The band were joined by Cohen and his band during the encore which featured a medley of Prince covers, such as “Let’s Go Crazy,” “Delirious,” and “Controversy.”
