Last August, Kevin wrote some random MySpace review about People of Earth band. And they released their newest album just last Novemver 17, 2007 entitled “No More Shenanigans”. Here’s some blog entry from MySpace.com about this album release review ad interview:
People of Earth’s excellent new CD gives new meaning to the phrase, “This one time at band camp …”
The Pittsburgh-area jam band wanted to capture the magical, kinetic interplay that fuels their live shows. So, instead of recording tracks separately in a studio, they set out for a secluded, rustic camp on a lake near Mercer. There, playing together in a room, they recorded the basic tracks for “No More Shenanigans.”
“We wanted this CD, more than any of our other releases, to truly reflect what we sounded like as a band,” explained bassist Kevin Kopper. “So what we decided to do was turn a rustic camp in the backwoods of Pennsylvania into a studio, and then meet up there for three successive weekends and record the album live.
“So the songs you hear, minus the vocals, have few overdubs. It’s a true mirror of who we are as a band, which we feel we did not capture on the first two releases.”
With this one, they capture magic in a genie lamp. It’s an exciting, exhilarating rhythmic ride with sparkling jams, shining harmonies, and irresistible melodies. But instead of locking themselves into one mode, they stretch out, informing their earthy, Dead-style jams with elements of bluegrass, country, even disco.
