Throwing it again to his nineties rock days.
Darius Rucker could also be largely often known as a rustic singer today, however anyone who grew up within the ’90s acknowledges him because the lead singer of Hootie & The Blowfish.
The Grammy award-winning band, which Darius based on the College of South Carolina, was one of many hottest acts of the mid-90s with hits like “Let Her Cry,” “Maintain My Hand,” and “Solely Wanna Be With You” which are nonetheless huge songs immediately. However in 2008, Rucker launched his first solo nation album, Studying To Reside, and located huge success within the style with hits like “Don’t Suppose I Don’t Suppose About It,” “Alright,” “Comeback Tune,” and naturally, his cowl of Outdated Crow Drugs Present’s “Wagon Wheel.”
However apparently Darius isn’t fairly able to ditch his rock band days altogether.
The Hootie & The Blowfish frontman introduced immediately that he was teaming up with members of two different legendary ’90s rock bands to kind a brand new supergroup.
The group, which known as Howl Owl Howl (Darius should actually like owls), consists of Rucker together with R.E.M. co-founder and bassist Mike Mills and The Black Crowes co-founder and drummer Steve Gorman. And in response to Rucker, it’s like teaming up with outdated associates:
“It feels nice to be singing with a rock band once more. It’s like buddies getting collectively, but additionally attending to play together with your idols. The stuff we’re writing is so completely different than something I’ve tried to do earlier than.”
Mills stated that the three admire one another musically, and that the chemistry between them makes for a pure match for the brand new group:
“You by no means can clarify band chemistry. All of us like one another. And all of us admire one another musically. All these issues come collectively and if it weren’t enjoyable, we wouldn’t be doing it.”
Howl Owl Howl might be releasing their first single, “My Cologne,” on October 31, and might be hitting the highway collectively for 9 reveals this fall. However as for what followers can anticipate from these reveals, Gorman says even the band doesn’t know:
“There’s not a single assure. We’re lastly going to get to plug in and let it rip a bit bit.”
I like it. As any person who grew up listening to those bands, the nostalgia of attending to see the three of them collectively in a single group is off the charts.
