ABOUT THE HEADLINER
Einstein’s Sister
Although Bill Douglas (vocals) and Kerry Tucker (guitars) have been performing together for over a decade — even releasing their first album under the Douglas & Tucker name — the Illinois-based power pop outfit of Einstein’s Sister began their pseudonymous career in 1997 with the release of OarFin Records’ Oceanus. The band’s unabashed synthesis of Squeeze-like nasal whines and Jellyfish‘s idiosyncratic hooks did not gel well with Oceanus’ producer, so the band returned to their original indie-based inclinations, which, by most appearances, served as a fortunate move for the band. 1999’s Learning Curves began a strong cult following and peculiar music licensing (NBC, MTV, the Oxygen Network) while the following year’s Humble Creatures finally showed not only what seemed like a full, stable lineup (adding Andrew Brock to bass, Steven Volk to guitars, and ex-Tripmaster Monkey‘s Marty Reyhons on drums), but national media praise as well. ~ Dean Carlson, Rovi
Celebrating their newest EP, “Exit Strategies”. Mixed & Produced by English sound engineer and record producer, Nick Davis who is best known for his work with the band
Einstein’s Sister previous singles release, “Begin Again / Standing Still” was mastered by Miles Showell of Abby Road Studios. Miles has mastered and cut vinyl for Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones, Bob Marley, Queen, The Police and The Beatles.
