Cy Barkley & fans

“Since the unfortunate passing of Jay Reatard, there has been a void in the hearts of scumfucks everywhere. Enter Cy Barkley, a man straddling the line between garage and punk with a black Gibson in hand. Rock Together showcases a more accessible side of Cy Barkley and the Way Outsiders’ dirty punk music that could put a wistful tear in Keith Morris’ eye. “When you say you don’t know, please tell me, I’ll follow you,” Barkley shouts over glammy riffs, pounding bass and unrelenting drums in “Rock Together”, the EP’s Single. The four track 7″ is surely not the height of what this band could be – or will be – but this album marks the beginning of an era for Cy Barkley and the Way Outsiders as they expand beyond Nashville’s city limits.” [Get Bent]

Jeff The Brotherhood did in fact play Matchless last night (8/22) with their friends/collaborators/city-mates/label-mates Cy Barkley & The Wayoutsiders. It was the first of three NYC dates for Cy. Catch them at Death By Audio TONIGHT (8/23) and Cake Shop tomorrow. Jeff played LPR with Pentagram one night earlier.

JEFF’s Jake told the sold-out show’s crowd that it would be the last time Jeff would play NYC “for a while” while the band records a new album. More pictures from Matchless, including some shots of a few partying Titus Andronicus-ians, are below…
