The Denmark Veseys
featuring Jerry Joseph & Steve Drizos
*ON SALE NOW* |
Cosmo Sex School Records is pleased to announce the brand new release from The Denmark Veseys (Jerry Joseph & Steve Drizos).
The Denmark Veseys is a Portland, Oregon based duo consisting of acclaimed singer/songwriter Jerry Joseph (Little Women, The Jackmormons, Stockholm Syndrome) and drummer/percussionist Steve Drizos (Dexter Grove). A slight departure from Joseph’s past projects, The Denmark Veseys’ self-titled debut introduces a new pop sensibility while still retaining the raw energy that has defined his career. The album, recorded at Chase Park Transduction Studios in Athens, GA and produced by Dave Barbe (Drive-By Truckers, REM, Son Volt), was created in a live performance atmosphere. The Denmark Veseys completed the record in just six days, capturing a true representation of the band’s sound. A sound that lies somewhere between Sly & The Family Stone’s “Family Affair” and Peter Gabriel's “I Can’t Remember” with a big tip of the hat to the late, great Chris Whitley.
The Denmark Veseys hit the streets in February 2008. Exclusively at Cosmo Sex School Records we have a limited number of SIGNED copies available for $15.98. The regular CD is available now (un-signed) $12.98 at Cosmo Sex School Records and at your favorite independent record stores.

Honest Tune:
Jerry Joseph and the truth about Denmark Vesey
Sitting down talking to Jerry Joseph is always an interesting experience. For a man that many know simply as the seemingly angry anti-hippie songwriter that got his big break when Widespread Panic started performing his songs, Joseph is actually amazingly subdued, incredibly well rounded, and just about the most intellectual individual one could ever hope to meet.
During our most recent interview, which took place as Joseph embarked on his latest tour with drummer Steve Drizos, we discussed the duo’s forthcoming CD, the subsequent naming of their band, songwriting, his recent trip to Nepal, and what the future holds for the man with a seemingly endless string of rock-n-roll melodies waiting to roll off the tip of his tongue.

*Honest Tune*: Jerry Joseph - cutting a duo CD
Jerry Joseph and drummer Steve Drizos are currently hard at work in Dave Barbe's Chase Park Transduction studio in Athens, Georgia recording a CD of new material, most of which has been written in just the last two weeks. Joseph says plans for this session are to record two songs in full each day, much like "cutting both sides of a 45."
The sessions commenced with the recording of "Letter to Chico," on July 24. An upbeat track, "Chico" features Joseph's uniquely melodic vocals, filled with his trademark angst. While the song may never be a massive commercial hit, Joseph delivers a song that all the young Ramones wanna-bes are dying to write.
Joseph said that "Anybody that plays on the record is going to have to play an instrument that they don't usually play." Stay tuned for more details...
