So, without further ado, I properly introduce you to Boy Things, an indie-pop-math-punk-synth-rock band full of self proclaimed "cannibals"... The band includes Beth Hansen (vocals), Adam Cumisky (guitar), Vince Rickey (bass), Eric Dryburgh (drums), and Blake Kelevra (Synth). So far the band has released two EPs, one that is self-titled from 2011 and "Growing Up" which was released at the beginning of 2012.
Earlier last week I spoke with Erik Dryburgh, the man, the myth, the legend, and the drummer. Here's what he had to say:
"The title of the new EP is called Equations and well we are really excited about it. For people who come out on the 31st, we possibly will play some of the new tracks!"
When asked about shows in the future:
"It's different compared to our first EPs. The songs cover a wide variety of sounds within our genre. Unlike the first EPs that were very pop/ pop punk influenced these new songs have some more technical parts, along with strong melodies, and definitely lots of rhythmic drive. As a musician doing the band thing for a long time (don't know if you remember goodnight streetlight?) I can't remember the last time I was this happy with a band. I''m very proud of this new EP and the members of Boy Things. I'm really excited to see where we go in the future."
If you're looking to join in on the fun the show is located in Great Meadows, NJ at Bar 46. It's impossible to miss since it's located directly on Route 46 about 2 miles outside of Hackettstown. Links for the show and Boy Things can be found below. You can expect to see FFOMusic there as well, so come hang out with us! I expect the show to be as hair-raising as Beth Hansen's freak out at the end of their song "Dirty Dancing".
