Thieves Invade Daryl's House
01/09/2009
.
(PR) Live From Daryl's House begins the new year much as it ended the old one, with Daryl Hall playing live alongside some of the industry's top up-and-coming bands. For the groundbreaking web destination's 15th edition, Hall joins Wind-up Records recording artists Company of Thieves, a highly touted Chicago-based band whose label debut, Ordinary Riches, was released digitally Jan. 6 and will be in-stores Feb. 24. After two days on-sale digitally, the debut is #19 on the iTunes Top Albums chart, and #7 at Alternative.
The band's lead vocalist Genevieve Schatz and guitarist Marc Walloch will perform a seven-song set with Daryl, which can be seen exclusively on www.livefromdarylshouse.com, including four tracks from the band's Ordinary Riches album ("Pressure," "Around the Block," "Past the Sleep" and "Even in the Dark"), the Hall and Oates song, "Starting All Over" (from the duo's 1990 album Change of Seasons) as well as the Daryl-penned smash, "Everytime You Go Away," a hit single for Paul Young. Hall, Schatz and Walloch also tackle a pair of classic rock covers in the Zombies' "Time of the Season" and "Piece of my Heart," made famous by Janis Joplin.
"I am really impressed with what I've heard from Company of Thieves," says Daryl. "They are truly one of the best new, young groups out there. I was really excited to play with them. The sky's the limit in terms of their future."
"Daryl and his team of thoroughly experienced and talented musicians provided a welcoming environment for us to work in. The whole day was a huge learning experience for us," said Genevieve.
"It was so liberating to be able to play freely with no worries because of the caliber of musicians we were around. We loved collaborating with Daryl, T-Bone and everyone who is a part of this special program, and are honored to have been asked to appear," added Marc.
