Blame Drew's Cancer 24 Hour Blame-A-Thon (9/9/09)

Announcing: Dark Horse and the Carousels

The Blame Drew’s Cancer Team is proud to have Dark Horse and the Carousels taking the stage at 7:30pm on September 9th at the North Star Bar.

If John Peel were still around, he’d be all over this classic five-piece, steeped in the reverb-heavy glam-and-a-wink ethos of the late ’60s and early ’70s. You can catch references to everybody from Phil Lynott to Sweet to Gary Glitter, but if they had to choose, I’m guessing these boys would go with late-’60s Stones. A video of “Crazy” shows singer Joseph Kusy in full-on Jagger mode, hips shimmying, elbows jutting and one finger wagging. Behind him, clad in multicolored mod, is one sharp-edged band, kicking out razory MC5 riffs and Sly soul jams. Maybe it’s time the Dark Horse won a race or two.” -Philadelphia Weekly (March 2009)

After two years of press acclaim, and shows with Black Lips, Peter Bjorn & John, The Detroit Cobras, The Teenagers, and Shonen Knife, DHATC released their debut self-titled full-length album at Making Time in 2008 at Pure Nightclub in Philadelphia. They are currently at work on a series of new releases.
