San Francisco's Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival - August 22-24, 2008
Carney is a 4-piece Los Angeles musical phenomenon,
who despite their young age (all 4 members are in their
early 20’s), have years of musical experience
behind them. The band itself is fronted by siblings
Reeve Carney; lead vocals & guitar & Zane Carney;
lead guitar, along with John David Lipscomb on bass
and Jon Epcar on drums.
So what is Carney? "We try to make music that's timeless," says Reeve
, “Our music is an array of various styles drawn from rock, folk, reggae
to blues”. So true; their songs can evoke thoughts
of anything from Jeff Buckley, The White Stripes, Led
Zeppelin to John Lennon and even Pink Floyd.
Carney’s live shows have become something of an event in LA. Their weekly
packed shows at Molly Malone’s draw a crowd of fans that range from eager
college students to trend-setting hipsters and industry heavyweights. The word-of-mouth
is such that the room now systematically spills beyond its capacity.
