Backlash, a Live Performance Video from Factory Underground Recording Artist Brian Larney and The Town Hall Premiered Exclusively by VEVO.
The Town Hall - Backlash
When Brian Larney began recording his 5-song EP, his plan was to call it The Charm Offensive. That changed the day he stumbled across an old political button that read "America Needs J.F.K."
"It was simple, direct and America does need The Town Hall" says Larney, for whom The Town Hall is as much a pseudonym as a band name.
"I prefer playing with a band to playing solo, but it's always The Town Hall, regardless of who is on stage," Larney says. "I like to say that 'We are all the Town Hall,' myself and the audience."
But not everything is so dark and moody when it comes to Larney's songwriting, which leans as much Burt Bacharach-Partridge Family as the modern, alternative groups he is often compared to as Father John Misty, City and Colour and the Lumineers.
The
video for Backlash was filmed live on stage, right here at Factory
Underground Studio in Norwalk, CT. Appearing in the video are frequent
collaborators Joel P. Kelley and Jeff Hatcher of the groups Edisun and
After The Rush, Kenny Cash on bass, and Adam Matlock on keyboards. The
video was directed and edited by Larney himself.
Next up from The Town Hall, a light hearted comedic spoof for "No End In Sight," co-directed
and edited by the singer, who appears in the video as an Uber-style
driver having the worst day ever. The video will be released to Vevo in
September.
The full five-song American Needs The Town Hall EP is available on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon, and is available as a free download from www.TheTownHallBand.com
