Biography
THE LITTLE DEATH nyc is Aaron A. Brooks (drums), Laura Dawn (lead vocals), Daron Murphy, (guitar, bass, & harmonica) and Moby (bass, guitar). Formed in 2007, their sound is like a drunken bar fight between John Lee Hooker and Kurt Weill or the desperate love-child of Big Mama Thornton and Robert Mitchum. Old blues, soul, and vintage psychedelia slamming behind songs about fucking and despair, blind joy and glorious dissolution, fronted by a white girl with a voice equal parts Bessie Smith and Dusty Springfield. Their packed live shows (featuring tight harmonies from backup singers Jamie Rae and Cherie Martorana, aka The Death Threats) are raucous and passionate–a punk-rock fueled blues revival for hungry souls
