Sensory Overload: Bonneville

Wednesday January 18, 2012 8:25 PM

By Chris DeVille

Before there was “OK Computer,” there was “Pablo Honey.” Before there was “Yankee Hotel Foxtrot,” there was “A.M.” Perhaps someday folks will remember “Amy’s House,” the new album from Columbus quartet Bonneville, as a precursor to some eventual masterpiece.

In the meantime, the album offers merits of its own, which were apparent when the band played Woodlands Tavern last Thursday not long after a two-week tour.
Bonneville makes music just about as straightforward as it comes. It’s vanilla, but it’s a rich, delicious vanilla. Slow-churned.

They’ve clearly spent long hours dissecting great pop through the ages and appropriating what makes a song stick — humongous melodies, driving rhythms, minute details. As always with bands like this, The Beatles are heavy in the mix. I hear The New Pornographers’ high-fructose power-pop and Ben Folds Five’s quirky piano rock in there too, especially when they break out in sighing harmonies and fey “na na nas.”
Lest they neglect arena rock tropes, Bonneville’s “The Uniform” could pass for a Boston B-side. They got the audience to clap along one time. Their mullet-clad drummer even sang lead vocals on one song!
“Time” was not a Pink Floyd cover, nor Hootie and the Blowfish. However, they did present their rendition of The Black Keys’ new “Lonely Boy” — 40 percent less swagger, but a respectable take nonetheless and proof positive that they’re still students of pop DNA.
Speaking of covers: The lead guitarist (whose casual attire suggested he missed his bandmates’ memo about ties and vests) also teased the opening riff from Paul Simon’s “You Can Cal Me Al,” which would have been a more fitting tribute for such a straight-laced ensemble.
Song titles like “Come On Come On” and “If You Were My Girl” indicate that Bonneville is not bursting through any walls lyrically either, but holy hell, are both those songs catchy.
As hinted above, listening to this band transports me to the early works of Wilco and Radiohead, groups that eventually got bored of playing it straight and ended up experimenting their way to timeless classics. Bonneville might be content to graze familiar pastures forever, and I wouldn’t begrudge them that. But I’m curious about what might happen if musicians with such a firm grasp on pop pyrotechnics branched out into unknown realms.

From New York to the Carolinas...

noreply@blogger.com (Bonneville) — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 20:19:00 +0000

The acoustic gig in Brooklyn yesterday afternoon went surprisingly well, and the guys from Roots Cafe generously provided us with some fantastic java for cheap. We never thought we would enjoy acoustic performances so much nor realize that our original songs could be performed at a quieter, stripped down level. Five people in a shop the size of a hallway can be intimidating when you are sitting with nothing but a guitar and your voice, but the kind folks of Brooklyn snapped their fingers and welcomed our sound.

About an hour later we headed down the street to Hank's Saloon. I wasn't sure how to even describe this experience. I asked Ryan what he thought, and he replied, "Hank's Saloon....was a show....?" The place was dark and ominous, filled with some sketchy characters and a glowing red stage. Despite singing through the world's worst PA system, we played our hearts out. We finished the show and decided to get out of the city that never sleeps because...well...we couldn't stay awake much longer.

We made it down to Bruce Springsteen's favorite city: Asbury Park, New Jersey. Around 3:00am, Ryan walked into the Berkeley Hotel to check in. The man behind the front desk looked confused when Ryan stated we had a reservation. To make a long story short, Hotels.com never sent our information to the Berkeley, so we had to wait an hour for them to figure out how to fix the situation. Meanwhile, we inhaled our pancakes and eggs like hungry dogs at the local iHop. Finally, we dragged ourselves back to the Berkely Hotel just in time for our wonderful 20% discount courtesy of Hotels.com. Next time we may give Bill Shatner a try and book trough Priceline.

Our shock came when we found out the venue we would play the next night was right across the street from the Berkeley Hotel! This allowed some time to give Asbury Park a thorough tour. This beautiful/slightly creepy Jersey town looks like an early 20th century resort that has since been abandoned. Tilly, a 1930's clown, is now the town mascot and painted on the local buildings and Asbury Park merchandise. To make matters even creepier, there was a lovely Santa statue that, when given a closer look, turned out to be a clown. The clowns and multiple paranormal shops were enough to make my childhood fears come back to life for a brief moment. But that's not all folks! Upon arriving at the convention hall that we would play later in the evening, a worker mentioned that the spirits inside the hall were not going to be happy that night. Some tourists left some toys and objects in one of the rooms to taunt the spirits. We had no clue what the man was talking about, but Ryan and I later on read a plaque outside the hall explaining that in 1934, 137 people were killed mysteriously from a ship that was caught on fire. This all happened where we were going to play! Holler!! Although no ghosts were found, we had a fun time at the show and definitely want to come back again soon. It was time to drive another 4 hours in order to cut the drive to Charlotte in half. What. A. Night.

Now we are roughly two hours away from the show tonight. And yes, we threw off the winter coats! It feels amazing down here and will cause extreme difficulty in our desire to come back home. Looking forward to being back in Sequoyah's territory and seeing some of our friends down south. Until next time y'all.

Nick and the boys

Winter Tour 2011!

noreply@blogger.com (Bonneville) — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 22:06:00 +0000

So far we kind of ♥ New York. Parking has taken sight-seeing out of the question, a nasty cold has settled itself in my lungs for the winter season, and toll booths have been screaming "Ba Humbug!" and eyeing our wallets. But that has yet to take our fun away. Brooklyn nightlife has given us a refreshing energy, and reuniting with our friends from Sequoyah has helped to make this tour feel a little more like home.

For those who attended the CD Release in Dayton, we thank you. Last year's Drawing Maps release show appropriately had an electrified crowd and left our hands with blisters. This year's release was different; the room seemed to understand that our sound was changing. The feeling was calmer and more intimate. Playing "Only One" felt like playing in a small jazz club. Our friends and families seemed to dig it. But of course we needed to end the show with a bang; we covered the new Black Keys single, "Lonely Boy," and danced away.

With 4 hours of sleep, we headed out of our lovely hometown of Kettering early Sunday morning. David's bladder was particularly small that day, but we made it to our first destination: Doylestown, PA. Ever heard of it? Me neither! Although the small crowd had us contemplating even setting up to play, Doylestown proved that they love good music, and were anxious to have us back again.

I am currently writing in one of Brooklyn's best coffee shops: Roots Cafe. We play a little acoustic show in about 5 minutes in attempt to earn some gas money. Shortly after we finish, it's on to Hank's Saloon. That's right, two shows in one night! Tomorrow we hit the road to Asbury Park, New Jersey, and eventually head to the Carolinas. We will miss the New York scene dearly. We hope to come back soon, but we are anxious to lose the winter coats.

Until next time friends!

Much love,

Nick (and the gang)

RELEASE DATE FOR "AMY'S HOUSE"

noreply@blogger.com (Bonneville) — Sat, 10 Sep 2011 02:46:00 +0000

Our new album Amy's House is in the final stages of production. The majority of the eight songs that make up Amy's House were written throughout the latter half of 2010 in a two bedroom house on Charleston Ridge Ct. in Columbus, Ohio. The album itself was recorded at Reel Love Recording Studios in Nashville, Tennessee. The owner of Reel Love Studios and longtime friend of the band, Patrick Himes, engineered and co-produced the album. Patrick also engineered four of the tracks from our In Stereo EP released in 2006.

Amy's House was recorded over the course of four weekends. During the first weekend the bare bones of the songs (drums, bass, keyboards, and rhythm guitars) were tracked live. The other 3 weekends were spent overdubbing, tracking vocals, and mixing. The album is in the final stages of production and we're really excited to get it out there. We're planning to digitally release the album to iTunes, Amazon, eMusic, and CD Baby this fall. Songs from the album will also be available for streaming on several of our websites.

We've began planing to go on a winter tour of the Northeastern United States with our friends from South Carolina, Seqoyah Prep School. We'll be kicking off the tour with the physical release of Amy's House. We'll be having CD Release Parties in both Columbus and Dayton. Here is our tentative route:

Friday, December 9th - Columbus, OH
Saturday, December 10th - Dayton, OH
Sunday, December 11th - Pittsburgh, PA
Monday, December 12th - Spike Hill, Brooklyn, NY
Tuesday, December 13th - Boston, MA
Wednesday, December 14th - Atlantic City / Jersey City
Thursday, December 15th - Washington D.C.
Friday, December 16th - Richmond, VA
Saturday, December 17th - Charlotte, NC

We'll have more updates on the tour soon!
