I had the chance to catch up with Becky and Maya from The Pack A.D. before their set last night at Piano's. We talked about the new CD (Funeral Mixtape), comparisons to the White Stripes, the current tour and life on the road.



The Pack put on a phenomenal show and this is one of those shows that people are going to regret having missed a year from now. For anyone not familiar with The Pack A.D.'s sound, here is a review of their first release that Herohill.com posted: "Becky and Maya somehow managed to write a debut record that was full of gritty hybrid blues, but still had the chops to sing soulful ballads that bled with emotion. It usually takes years for a blues outfit to perfect those types of sounds, not a single release."

It doesn't sound like the band will be back through NYC until 2009 so, for the meantime, pick up a copy of Funeral Mixtape, which will be released August 12th on Mint Records.
