Royal Teeth

Warehouse Live presents Royal Teeth, with Glass the Sky and Showers.  Thursday, June 5 in The Studio.

Royal Teeth is a happy accident. On a whim, the New Orleans-based band started incorporating samples and electronics to its indie vibe. Though this sounds mainstream, the band catches audiences off-guard with its memorable male and female vocal hooks. More than ever, the band has cemented its stylistic sound. Before, the lineup changed from show-to-show. Now, the six members are set, ready for royalty.

It isn’t often that a band can just sort of form into its just right structure without even really trying. After a few years of people coming and going, Glass the Sky emerged in the summer of 2011 as a unit ready to make the sort of ethereal sounds that shroud its listeners in contented complexity. The Houston-based quintet isn’t concerned with making music within a specific structure or under the restraints of labels. Their music unfolds as naturally as the band formed – with the bringing together of collective talent itching to invent melodies that haunt you long after the music has stopped playing.

After a year of traveling with Hundred Year Storm, Marshall Forse Walker holed up in his bedroom for the better part of four months, meticulously crafting the framework that would later be realized as Showers. Walker’s vocals pour forth over washes of jangly guitars, the complimentary crisp lead/rhythm work of Nathan Allen and the deep, warm bass tones of Jeremiah Crouse; meanwhile, Dustin Hovis's lush, syncopated drum-work, lays the foundation for the quintet's melodies to flow so smoothly over.
