Early Man - Bowery Ballroom pics, an EP on The End
photos by Chris La Putt
This year did not exactly begin on a high note for Mike Conte. In January, his band, Early Man, split from Matador, their label of three years, following a somewhat disappointing run. The breakup, for those who pay attention to these types of things, shouldn't come as much of a surprise: The pairing of a retrograde thrash-metal act with the imprint behind Cat Power and Belle & Sebastian was on its own enough to spark up the ol' authenticity debate, riff unheard. [The Village Voice]Black Bubblegum wrote, "Early Man have announced that they have signed with The End and will release a new EP this fall produced by Jack Endino! Early Man is currently on the road with Valient Thorr and [played] the Bowery with Monotonix on July 25th." More pics from that Bowery show below...
