Citified, a 4 member Shoegazer rock band took time out on a sunday to drink beer and play acoustically in this kitchen. Initially Chris suggested we use pre recorded music as Citified’s sound is about reverb and melodic noise which isn’t necessarily translatable in an acoustic medium, but after seeing the results with Eating the Invaders they scheduled a few rehearsals to see if it was possible. Mostly I was concerned that we’d blow the fuse box.
Citified is represented by the label, Eskimo Kiss, based out of Atlanta.
We’ve known Chris Jackson, lead singer, for a number of years but this was the first time we really got to hang out. His reputation as one of the nicest guys in the industry is not simply a rumor.
A few months ago dotmatrixproject shot this band as part of their Free.Live.Music series and if you haven’t taken a look at what these guys can do with some of the best talent around, then you’re definitely missing out.
Up next, Molly McGinn.

oh that i were but a mere toaster in this humble kitchen of inspiration, that i could but warm to a buttery crisp the bread which feeds the mind of talent, artistry, jolly music-making…
on second thought – perhaps a bottle opener would be more appropriate?
