Buried Beds - Steady Hand

In 2003 in Philadelphia, Eliza Jones and Brandon Beaver, who were longtime friends, formed Buried Beds, who at the time were a duo.  But over several years they have grown into a fully fledged chamber group, containing banjos, string quartets, viola, electric guitars and piano, to name but a few of the instruments.   

Their latest album, Tremble the Sails, was recorded almost entirely in Eliza's living room and was mixed by Nick Krill.  Without wishing to pigeonhole them, it is possible to hear echos of The Beach Boys in there and even ELO, which makes for an interesting mix.  They are very popular on the Philly live circuit and like the previous Truffler featured band, they have also been known to cover a Kate Bush song - Hounds of Love this time .  This particular song is a live version of a track from the album, Steady Hand.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lM5jDvudLbM


If you are wondering about the name, the story goes that during the yellow fever epidemic back in the early days of Philadelphia, the city made everybody bury their bed to curb the spread of the disease. Meaning essentially, Philadelphia is built on buried beds.  So now you know.
