>> [Photo Credit: Scott Schultz] We downloaded a handful of tunes from Los Angeles indie rockers The Henry Clay People recently [probably via ExitFare] and every time one of said songs shuffles up we have to grab our IPod to identify who's rocking us. The quartet, fronted by the Siara brothers Joey and Andy, will release release next week its sophomore set For Cheap Or For Free on Aquarium Drunkard's Autumn Tone label. The record was recorded in a number of different studios around Los Angeles with folks including the very personable Dave Newton, he formerly [...]
( photo cred ) Justin Gage, of Aquarium Drunkard , and I were laughing, this past weekend, about my statement that I rarely will write about the bands on his label, Autumn Tone Records , because he and I are friends. I guess that's kinda silly. The guy's taste is impeccable, he writes an amazing blog, he's a soon-to-be-published author. I'm never afraid to listen to him. Plus, I already find myself really loving Le Switch [...]
School was rough and i am insanely out of the blogosphere picture.. The cons? 1. My blog sucks right now. 2. School is about to start and again. Wi-Fi connections are lame! 3. *sigh* The good news? not-so-good-but-fine grades and i've been gaining weight. Enough of this crap shit for i am forcing myself to catch up. let's see... what i've been listening lately: Keane - Lovers are Losing (CSS Remix) I've [...]
well all of this talking made us sick , proclaims joey siara of the henry clay people . clearly preferring to let their music do the talking, the band has a hard-earned reputation as "the most intoxicated band in austin" for their chaotic and high energy shows. this november, their new lp for cheap or for free will be out on autumn tone records , an album that's such rolling, raucous fun you'd be forgiven for thinking it was recorded live. in "rock and roll has lost its teeth", the band saunters down the shady lane [...]

Vor kurzem wurde hier den grandiosen Indie-Rockern Archers Of Loaf gehuldigt . Dabei schwang natürlich auch eine gehörige Portion Wehmut mit. The Henry Clay People können dieser Abhilfe schaffen. "This is Indie Rock my dear Friend". Könnte ein Zitat sein, ist es aber nicht. The Henry Clay People machen Musik wie man sie zu Beginn der Neunziger Jahre überall zu Ohren bekam. Indie-Rock Marke Pavement, Archers Of Loaf, Seaweed. Ehrliche, unpträtentiöse Rock-Songs, direkt aus den Eiern mitten in die Seele. "For Cheap and For Free" ist die zweite Platte der [...]
One of my favorite new discoveries of the year has been The Henry Clay People . My friend Justin raved about them at SXSW, then signed them to his label . The band's performances in the LA area have garnered near unanimous praise, and on November 4th , they'll release For Cheap Or For Free . Highly recommended, especially for fans of The Hold Steady , The Replacements , and Pavement . I caught up with singer/guitarist Joey Siara for our [...]
While in New York, Justin from Aquarium Drunkard dropped Henry Clay People's name like four times in one night. Well even though I'm often oblivious, even I was able to pick up on that one. Not only did I take a mental note, but they later showed up on my desk from Justin's own record [...]
Good luck deciding which one to go to....... Kings of Leon , The Stills, We Are Scientists @ Nokia Theatre Black Kids , The Virgins, Voxhaul Broadcast @ The Mayan Indie 103 Presents The Rumble Strips, Birdmonster @ Spaceland (Club NME) [...]
So you like Aquarium Drunkard , the pretty much amazing blog that continues to dish out the goods on great bands new and old? Well, then you should check out The Henry Clay People, a rowdy group of So-Cal folk currently being put out by AD's record label Autumn Tone. I dropped the ball on HCP a while back, getting a copy of the new album (due out November 4th) and then promptly letting it fall to the wayside. But over the course of the last few months, the buzz on these gents has been rolling out of the [...]

Joey Siara Of The Henry Clay People (Los Angeles, CA) Well if you missed The Henry Clay People 's near capacity CD release show at Spaceland last Friday you certainly missed a piece of Los Angeles history. Good thing Rock Insider photographer Benjamin Hoste was there to catch all the action. The Clays played all new material off their new album For Cheap or For Free (read my review here ) and threw one stinkin' hell of a [...]
Don't forget about the record release party tonight at Spaceland. I wrote this back in late August and planned to re-write before posting, but I'm too lazy. The Henry Clay People: For Cheap or For Free (Autumn Tone) The Henry Clay People are full of surprises. After a year of constant gigging around Southern California, For Cheap or For Free is a remarkable progression over their debut album. Known for their raucous live shows, it's great to hear that infectious energy captured on record. [...]
The Henry Clay People (Los Angeles, CA) I haven't chimed in yet on just how fabulous the new Henry Clay People full length - For Cheap Or For Free because I am obviously biased. As you may remember I released a 7" vinyl single for the band's track " Working Part Time" in March of this year on JAXART Records (plug: buy it here please ). My admiration for this band began with Blacklist The Kid With The Red Mustache and continues to [...]
The Henry Clay People, one of the best bands in L.A. are releasing, For Cheap Or For Free, November 4th. Yeah, we're biased as they are on the label, but we naturally only release the stuff we stand behind 110%. While the album doesn't hit retail for another six weeks, the band will be [...]
The Henry Clay People are having a record release party this Friday at Spaceland to celebrate the release of their newest LP, For Cheap or For Free on Autumn Tone Records.

I have two pairs of tickets to give away for the show . Email me [dukeufo at gmail] with the name of of your favorite local band. The contest closes Friday at [...]
