 We are super excited to (twice!) be part of the third Triangle Compulation released by the excellent Durham NC label Pox World Empire. The album features a sweet sweet collection of the créme de la Triangle indie rock scene and includes brand new songs by our very own Bull City and Dan Bryk (full tracklist after the bump).
This Saturday night (4/25) Bull City will be playing the release party for the Compulation at the Chapel Hill's Local 506. Also playing will be Auxilliary House, Filthybird, Midtown Dickens, and an appearance by the Pox Family Singers. Plus the show will be the world premiere of their song from the comp! Bull City plays first at 9 PM. Full Track Listing: |

We got a message today from Bull City's Jim Brantley:
 "Next Thursday, 3/19 Bull City is playing one of our favorite venues – the Cave in Chapel Hill. We have the night all to ourselves, so that means we get to stretch out and play 2 sets – we’ll have time to dig deep into our repertoire and play some epic guitar solos. It will be a great show! We go on at 10 PM.
Then on Saturday, 3/21 Bull City is playing our debut at the Pinhook, downtown Durham's great new venue. The show will be in celebration of Johnny Cash's birthday - that means you'll get to hear our interpretation of a Johnny Cash song or two. The show starts at 10 PM, and you can find more info here: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=78431125294. In other Bull City news, I’m happy to announce that we have (finally) begun work on a new album! We started recording some tracks at my studio over the past couple of weeks and on Sunday we’ll be going to our friend Ryan Pickett’s studio to do more. We have a great collection of songs that we’re very excited to get out into the world! More news on that soon…" Thursday, March 19 Show starts at 10 PM

Worldwide Praise for Luke's Jackson's ...And Then Some continues to pour in...
 “...an eloquent, expressive set that exudes both confidence and an enthusiasm that’s downright infectious. Jackson’s drive and desire race at full throttle. And yet, in those moments of sublime repose, where the strings swell and the emotions soar, he demonstrates an intrinsic taste, craft and intelligence that affirm his natural pop pedigree. “It's only January, but it's not too early to declare ... And Then Some one of the most significant discoveries of the year.” 9/10
- Lee Zimmerman, Blurt “I had never heard of Luke Jackson before but today he is the smartest man alive!”
- What To Wear During An Orange Alert
Interview “The sweet guitar fills, the cascading harmonies, Jackson’s happy as heck vocals -- it’s all here, a complete pop package.”
- Mike Bennett, Hablo Ennui "Wer auf knackigen Pop-Rock und atmosphärische, melancholische Kleinode steht, der wird hier bestens bedient."
- Markus Kerren, rocktimes.de “Sounding something like Teenage Fanclub if they were lost in Scandinavia and developed a taste for string sections ...And Then Some is power pop paradise that's as lush as it is poppy. With lush, delicate arrangements, the tender moments on ...And Then Some become even more poignant and emotional..."A Little Voice," is a perfect example of this as Luke Jackson gently plucks his guitar to a harmonizing string arrangement that makes the song so hauntingly fragile that it sounds as if the song might just break. Songs like these are intimate heartfelt breathers that show Luke Jackson to be in touch with his soul; they truly are stunning songs.” - Paul Zimmerman, First Coast News "Från de här förtsättningarna får vi helt enkelt en snygg, nittiotalsinspirerad britpopplatta med snygga arrangemang"
- Petter Seander, Red Hot Rock Magazine “Instantly catchy choruses and plenty of dreamy harmonies. This is a expressive album that wears it's heart on it's sleeve. Fans of Bleu, Jeff Lynne, Canadian or Swedish power pop will flip for Luke Jackson. Just an excellent album that touches the spectrum of emotions. 8/10
-Aaron Kupferberg, powerpopaholic.com “A Little Voice is the kind of affecting rumination that would resonate widely (instead of just deeply) if only some enterprising song wrangler were to place it over the closing scene to a Grey's Anatomy episode.”
- John Sakamoto, Toronto Star |
