Glasgow!

Proudly hailing from the diverse and colorful West Bank of New  Orleans, Glasgow! is a rock band that marries neat suburban charm  with boisterous city noise.  The outfit centers around the  prodigious Craft Brothers, whose preteen exploits with the  traditional jazz revivalist New Leviathan Oriental Fox-trot  Orchestra put them on the professional map early on.  Classically  trained and well versed in campy kitsch of the 1920s, the  industrious Crafts soon decided that teen angst was getting the best  of them.  So, they set out to put together one of the most  interesting rock bands to come out of the Crescent City in recent  memory. The result is a hard rocking hybrid of classical and classic  rock, with a little Jelly Roll Morton thrown in for good measure.  Glasgow!’s tounge-in-cheek swagger comes on the heels of White  Album-era Beatles, Queen, and David Bowie, all translated into the  band’s signature, down-home West Bank idiom.

The Craft brothers called upon local phenom Eric Rogers to join  them on drums and ubiquitous multi-instrumentalist Cory Schultz to  round out the rhythm section on bass.  Rogers and Schultz, already  prominent members of the local progressive rock scene, brought to  the formula a flare for the edgy and experimental.  It was the  perfect balance for Sam Craft (singer, violinist) and Jack Craft  (guitar, cello, keyboards), whose approach of angular precision and  quirky wit could now truly rock.

The quartet’s regional output has garnered them praise amongst  the city’s finest ears.  Lauds for the band’s explosively theatrical  live shows culminated with Gambit Weekly’s title of New Orleans’  Best New Local Band for 2007.  This, combined with a hefty resume of  headlining shows and festival appearances, has made Glasgow! a  household name in New Orleans rock.
