South (United States band)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
South is an ambient, post-rock unit from Richmond, Virginia. Core band members include songwriters Patrick Phelan and Nathan Lambdin, along with percussionist Tod Parkhill, founder of the company that publishes Nothing Nice To Say.
Musicians who have played a supporting role with the band include bassist Bryan Hoffa, Labradford contributor Peter Neff on hammered dulcimer, Jess Bittner on vibraphone, and either Via Nuon (Drunk, Bevel) or Rick Alverson (Drunk, Spokane) on keyboard.
Their self-titled debut was released via Jagjaguwar, with recording help from The Technical Jed's Clancy Fraher, Brent Lambert (Carbon Leaf, Superchunk) and John Morand (Cracker, FSK).
[edit] Trivia
In an interview with Billboard magazine's news editor Jonathan Cohen, Phelan complained about another now-defunct U.S band that recorded under the same moniker:
"There’s this really bad three-piece hardcore band on the West [coast] called South, who have released like 10 albums by themselves. They’re popping up everywhere. We want to write and tell them to take down their web page because they broke up a long time ago."
