The Pendletons Play NYC, Release New Album, Frontman Saunders Records with Whigs
After a knock-out set at the indie outlaw CMJ showcase and a mind-blowing show with fellow Athens, GA band Casper and the Cookies, The Pendletons wrap up an NYC visit with a Wednesday night show at Arlene’s Grocery.
The band recently released its full-length debut Oh, Me! on indie outlaw. Athens audiences got their first introduction to The Pendletons when the band opened numerous shows for ATO Records’ The Whigs. Both acts have since established tremendous fanbases in and out of Athens.
Frontman Adam Saunders spent the summer in an LA studio with ATO Records’ The Whigs, cutting what will be that band’s next record. The album is expected this winter.
The Pendletons’ sound can easily be described as “the best of Athens meets the best of elsewhere”. Oh, Me! highlights many historical features of Athens’ music—ultra-catchy melodies, flashy parts, and a downhome nature that harkens back the old days of vinyl-based rock ‘n’ roll. But The Pendletons update the traditional Athens sound in a way that makes Peter Buck dance with a beer high in the air (seriously…. He did it at SXSW!) Check out the first single.
