Civil Twilight - Holy Weather

I first heard these guys in Cape Town, South Africa.  It must have been 2001.  I had met Richard who plays drums while on holiday in Plettenberg Bay and got to know him and Andrew (guitars) over the years while living in Cape Town.  From my first time hearing them I was blown away.  These guys just love to rock it out on stage and would often get completely lost in a little jam session that would last 5 minutes or so mid song.

They have put out some quality tunes over the years and after a lot of hard work got noticed in the US (rightfully so!).  They've since signed with Wind-Up Records and have put out two great albums - the second one just released in March, 2012.  I may be a bit bias, but I highly recommend this album.  I haven't been able to stop listening to it since it came out - it's TIGHT.  An album worth your every dime/penny/cent.  If you're fortunate enough to be on their tour path in the States, do yourself a favour and go enjoy listening to musicians who play with so much soul.

Civil Twilight - thank you very much.
