Noiserock Recap

The show at Hilltop Social Club went down with a bang yesterday. Noiserock Treehouse, with Corbin on a classical guitar, Count Louisifer III on bass and Sean McLellan on a snare drum and crash symbol, rocked the apartment even though it was intended to be an "acoustic" performance. The most notable thing that night occurred during Corbin's tune "Return to Sender," when a micro-mach pit was formed and Louisifer gave his bass to a member of the headliner Señor Fin mid-song and jumped up on the counter top to rock out with the crowd in the back. Following the Group was Señor Fin, fellow Denton band who also managed to grab the crowd. For their finale members of the crowd were playing accessory percussion with Corbin sporadically on djembe. A fun night was had by all but it was only a taste of what will be to come next week at J and J's April 27th at 9pm. Photos of the Hilltop show have yet to be provided but the Noiserock set at J and J's is scheduled to be recorded in full with two cameras hopefully.

J and J's Show

Corbin Young has booked a GIGANTIC show featuring four acts and plenty of noise! For this show Corbin has finally managed to get a bassist and a drummer to back him up, and from hearing rehearsals, they certainly live up to the new moniker Noiserock Treehouse. The band will also be performing with progressive duo Protean Broadcast, acoustic guitar singer-songwriter Dub Lemons, and funk-rock band Various Artists. The show is free and will certainly be one of the best Denton shows yet.
Noiserock Treehouse will also be playing a house show before the J and J's gig and is hoping to play an Art Six show later in May. Here's a taste from their upcoming set list(s).

(3rd) Roots Show Recap

Our last show at Roots was an interesting mix of a small, but energetic crowd, three acts including Broderick Young who was called to replace Megan Storie with only five hours notice, insane hand percussion arrangements, duets/guest artists, and much more! With Chris Daily making his first solo, acoustic performance in two years, it was really great to see him live in this rare opportunity. Corbin Young finished out the show, starting with an unrehearsed duet with Chris ("Return to Sender") and ending with some fan favorite sing-a-longs. Lauren Moseley also sang her song "Hometown" with Corbin playing rhythm guitar.

Art Six Recap

Megan and Corbin performing Lauren Moseley's "Alabaster"


Gabe (Megan's backup multi-instrumentalist) and Megan

Great show by Corbin Young and Denton's indie-folk spectacular Megan Storie. Megan opened up with her title track "Tie" with fellow musician Gabe backing on electric guitar with banjo and sleigh bells to follow. Corbin in his one man band blasted distorted jams and witty lyrics. The re-occurring encore "Chontell Waters" was requested as expected from some of the polydactyl regulars. We had Jon Huey on Photo duty as well as THREE cameras filming the show. Video will be posted as soon as it is edited by friend of the band and videographer Maddline Luft so watch this post for embedded videos whenever I get them. Also don't forget Megan, Corbin, and Chris Daily will all be playing at Roots Coffeehouse in North Richland Hills on Saturday, March 24th at 8pm. Thanks to all the people who helped get the show together and all those who came to enjoy it.

Roots Show Highlights

Corbin, Jill, and Lauren just finished up another top notch show at Roots Coffeehouse in North Richland Hills this Friday. First was Jill who played acoustic originals and covers, which we are fortunate to have recorded this time around. Next up was Corbin's solo set and then lastly was Lauren backed by Corbin. For the songs "Bobby Fischer" and "Honey Please," the duo was backed by harmonica player Brian Morgan. It was a wonderful experience to play in a very close and comfortable space once again and we will hopefully be gearing up for another show in the mid cities area around Spring Break, or possibly earlier in Denton. Special thanks to all those who came, Brian Morgan for the Harmonica Playing, Roots Coffeehouse, and Dave the sound guy who helped us get a good mix for the show.

January Show at Roots

Corbin, Jill, and Lauren will be playing at ROOTS in NORTH RICHLAND HILLS on JAN. 6 2012 to celebrate the new year. Corbin will be playing some New Songs, but as of this point no one has written their set lists yet so it will be a thrill to see what everyone comes up with. Please Come if you can, and if not, we will try to have video highlights on youtube after the show. You can help us out by printing this flyer and posting it around for people to see on the internet and around the Dallas area, we look forward to seeing you there.

Jupiter House Highlights

For our first live show in Denton things went pretty well. Jill Bates, the "dark horse" opener for the band performed exceptionally for it being her first live performance. Lauren and the band rocked some faces off, though it felt a little out of place for the venue (oh well!). Great show with photography by Jon Huey and Jill on video. The band is gearing up for another Denton show hopefully in September. If you didn't make it to that one, I ask you to consider making it to the next one.

Opener Jill Bates: setting the mood and being awesome.

The Band: (Left to Right) Paige Thompson, Corbin Young, Eric Saffle, and Lauren

Lauren Moseley@Jupiter House in Denton

On Saturday, August 6th, Lauren will be playing at Jupiter House Coffee (in Denton) at 9pm. All of your favorites will be played as well as the first public hearing of a new song by Corbin Young. We hope you are able to attend the first and certainly not the last polydactyl show in Denton.
