1980s synth pop hits re-imagined as alt-country and Americana ditties.
The original Sisters (including Brian Braiker on banjo) got together in 2011 strictly for fun. The initial impulse was to play mostly covers of old-timey classics by the Carter Family, Hank Williams, Dock Boggs and others. But then Clive made a startling (some may say dangerous) discovery: it turns out the songs they were raised on -- those coked-out, cheesey, feather-haired tunes of their '80s youths -- were actually country songs in disguise. The pathos of "Here Comes the Rain," the exuberance of "Modern Love," the absurd weirdness of "Girlfriend in a Coma": it's all in there, dying for three-part harmonies and, let's face it, a banjo.
Experience the 80s all over again flavored with banjo and sweet vocals, along with some good ol’ salty hoedown originals. It goes down good with a cold beer and a shot of rye.
