PREVIEW: Dmitry Wild Unleashes Vintage Tales
6/26 @ No Fun, Troy
“Taking the listener through smokey bayou roadhouses to the heydays of CBGBs, Wild delivers punk rock energy with lyrical prowess and rock ‘n’ roll attitude, exciting even the most casual of music fans.”
Vintage Tales, the newest release from Cacophone Records’ own, Dmitry Wild, is cause for celebration. That celebration takes place this Thursday, June 26th at No Fun in Troy.
The night planned features Wild performing a large selection of the new album, and an immersive lineup of eclectic bands and performances, including local punk legends Blase DeBris, darkwave indie alternative and grunge band The Dionysus Effect, and Luna Faun eating fire and snake dancing. Additional special guests will be making surprise appearances throughout the night. It is only fitting that the night's lineup would draw parallels to the album itself.
The album takes you on a genre bending journey through rockabilly, R&B, and garage punk that is both deliberate, yet unpredictable. Taking the listener through smokey bayou roadhouses to the heydays of CBGBs, Wild delivers punk rock energy with lyrical prowess and rock ‘n’ roll attitude, exciting even the most casual of music fans. Standout tracks like “Cosmic Wife” and “Rock-n-Roll” utilize horns to drive home the overarching theme, truly adding a vintage edge. On the opposite end of the spectrum of this album are songs “Son of a Gun” and “Euros” which highlight the lyrical side of things, even blending in some surf and jazz flavors that Wild somehow makes fit effortlessly.
All of this is being made possible by Cacophone Records, locally operated out of Albany since 1994 by brothers Jeff and Kipp Smith. Winners of the Eddie Award for Record Label of the Year three out of the past five years, the label has a long history in the Industry. With time spent with Sundazed Music, Sony Legacy, BMG Heritage, and Verve Jazz, in addition to time spent at local legendary venues QE2 and Valentine’s, the brothers have been committed to the inspiration and creation of great music.
Dmitry Wild’s Vintage Tales will release June 27th on Vinyl, CD, and all major streaming platforms. Tickets are now available for the Album Release Party on Thursday, June 26th at No Fun in Troy.
