The Norfolk band 1888's album "Honey I'd Kill," is a great, arty piece of work -- cool melodies, unexpected arrangements, lyrics that avoid the obvious. It's in my Top 5 of all records released by Hampton Roads musicians in the last 10 years. (That's a list I haven't actually compiled, but I should. I'll get back to you on that.)
I was wondering what was up with 1888. "Honey I'd Kill" came out a year or so ago and I hadn't heard much about live gigs by the band since March when it played "Always Something There to Remind Me" as part of the Port Folio Local Music Awards. At the time, word was that 1888 was writing and recording new songs.
Now, the band -- led by Brad Rosenberg -- is recruiting a new member. The group posted a bulletin this week that read as follows:
"We are in need of a guitarist, or a keyboard player, or a juggler. If you are interested in being our guitarist, our keyboard player or our juggler than please send us a message so we can get to know each other a little better."
In other 1888 news, some of the tracks from "Honey I'd Kill" are available as free downloads through the band's MySpace page. Don't wait to grab 'em though. They'll be free for a limited time.
