North By North - "Silver Tooth & Shadowplay" at Hunnypot Live Show #360 (The Mint, LA - 02/20/17)

Written by 

Hunnypot Live has produced over 500 shows, bringing incredible artists to the stage for a quarter century. As part of our Best of Hunnypot Live series for our 25-year anniversary, we’re highlighting some of our favorite artists who have graced the stage.

This live footage comes from Show #360 on February, 20 2017, featuring North by North, a two-piece garage/pop band from Chicago, IL.

North by North's surf-inspired rock & roll conjures images of catching waves off the Hawaiian coast all day before chasing the sun and sand with a swanky cabaret-club nightcap. They start from a foundation that channels bands like The Black Keys & The White Stripes, but quickly set themselves apart by adding adventurous, esoteric instrumentation—from cello and trumpet to tack piano. They have an uncanny ability to blend blues, surf and cabaret into a heady rock & roll stew.

"'Silver Tooth and Shadowplay'" is a merging of fringe cultures. ... Remember that Hanna Barbara cartoon that had a guy that drag raced in hearse? This is the soundtrack to that." - Punk News
