Burlap & Bean: The Nodd and Aquaport

An evening with The Nodd and Aquaport.
A special double feature.

The Nodd returns with a new collection of material that offers something new each time through. “Where the Rubber meets the Road” was a fantastic snapshot of this band arriving new to the world and capturing each listener’s attention with sweet melodies filled with rigor and wit. “Baby’s First Wars” now finds the Nodd as a rambunctious toddler, comfortable with a newfound sonic mobility and fearless as it sets off to explore a new dimension. From the soulful “Eat You Up” to the innovative “Never Saw It Coming” this album offers an intelligent approach to the challenges of rock and roll and leaves an impression that is difficult to escape. Culminating with the touchingly rich “Meet You There” this album runs the range of emotional frequencies and creates not simply an experience, but a relationship with the listener that is so often absent in modern recordings.

Indie rock and power pop inform this low-fi, guitar driven affair, but it is the songs that hold the listener. A timeless record with timeless themes such as youth fading and melancholic longing. Aquaport is comprised of David Calamaro: Songwriter (Singer/Guitar), Scott Tyson: Rhythm Guitar (Vocals), John Woodman: Drums, Jon Reiff: Bass (Backing Vocals), Jeremy Gee: Rhythm Guitar. Influences include: Guided by Voices, Pavement, Yo La Tengo, Superchunk, and The Replacements.
