Episode 64: Levees Special Release 2

Episode 64: Levees Special Release 2

Thanks for tuning in to 210 Local media Podcast, I am your host, Mario Zamarron. This is only the second special episode we’ve done and interestingly enough, it’s for the same band as the last one. To hear Levees first official release, go check out episode 53. Go ahead, I’ll wait. Good, so you’ve heard “Your Spell”. Now, you get to hear their second release, “In White”. Last episode, we really didn’t know much about these guys.

Now, they have a bio:
Transported from the swamps of New Orleans to the deserts of San Antonio, Levees is a band grown from the creative landscape of brothers Kyle and Kody Anderson. These brothers have been sonically journeying together ever since they picked up their first guitars, and now their music draws inspiration from the two worlds they have lived in, combining the dark, ghostly blues of Louisiana with the southwestern spirit of Texas, making music that calls to mind a cross between the White Stripes and The Doors. Kyle and Kody’s guitar work is enlivened by the driving drums of San Antonio native Skyler Ellis, a veteran of the local music scene, and the sturdy bass work of Matt Stieb, who is also a music journalist in San Antonio. Although Levees is first and foremost a rock and roll band, the group draws its inspiration from an array of musicians spanning decades of time, hoping to combine their various influences into a unique sound that is both accessible and boundary-breaking.

Levees has been alive for less than a year, but they have already played numerous local shows, are beginning to tour Texas, have debuted their first single “Your Spell”, and are planning to release their first EP early this fall. During D0210’s Local Music Week, the group was selected as a favorite local band by San Antonio’s Tastemakers. Like the name implies, Levees is engineered of the earth, channeling the larger forces that run through the world. What they have captured is their own. It is dark, it is dreamy, and it is rising. They hope their music takes hold of your heart, inspires it into ecstasy, and makes your life a little better. They make their music for you.

If you want to catch Levees in action, they will be playing playing a show on September 25th, this Friday, at the Do210 App Launch Party at 8pm at The Limelight here in San Antonio. If you’re on St. Mary’s strip that night and want to bounce back and forth between a couple of events, you can catch Slowlikefire the same night, at The Amp Room at 10pm, with our friends White Elefant and an Austin band, The Human Circuit. In the meantime, here’s Levees, with their new release, “In White”.
