Know Your Opener: JEFF the Brotherhood


Tonight's openers for the 'Best Coast' show at the Neptune Theater are Nashville-based brothers Jake and Jamin Orrall, known as the psychedelic punk duo 'JEFF the Brotherhood.' The brothers have been rocking out together as the Brotherhood since 2001 when they were in high school. They have been described as one of the "must hear acts" in 2011 by SPIN magazine.

Their sound is a great brand of garage rock, the interplay between the guitar and drums that occurs is straight ahead rock and roll. The wah of the guitar during solos and the melody of the verses combine flawlessly with the minimalist approach to rock drumming that lays the foundation for their sonic creations. The vocals can feel and sound unnecessary at times, and I often find myself wishing they played instrumentals and left the vocals behind.

Definitely make sure you get to the Neptune early for the 'Best Coast' gig and catch these brothers' set. Let me know what you thought of their set in the comments, after the gig.
