this is echo canyon. I think thier name comes from an old simpsons episode. gave it the google treatment and found a ton of camping shit about parks named echo canyon and a jazz flute album bearing the name. even sonic youth has a song and a self-built studio of the same name in new york.
but this is athens' own echo canyon. as you can see here, they're a three piece with upright bass, drums/percussion, and guitar represented. the players are left-to-right -- chuck bradburn [of southern bitch], jim wilson [of mother jackson & so many other bands I'd rather just stick with one] & craig lieske [of garbage island]. they look at each other and play music. they fuck with each other and laugh about it. they play something I've never heard every time I see them.
you should go hear something you've never heard.
their last show was an opening set at the 40watt for now-on-hiatus were-local-but-moved-to-kentucky-and-broke-up cigarello. it was on october 3rd of last year. maybe the next show will happen soon. when it does, you should totally go.
