photos by Chris La Putt John McCauley w/ Diamond Rugs @ Zankel Hall 10/27/2012 It was an evening with " John McCauley and Friends " on Saturday (10/27), the kickoff event to WFUV's 2012/2013 Live at Zankel Hall series that takes place in the downstairs listening room of Carnegie Hall.

Two special evenings with the exceptional singer and songwriter Justin Townes Earle will include Justin's original songs in the context of the continuing legacy of Woody Guthrie in his centennial celebration year. For an artist whose list of influences runs the gamut from Randy Newman to Woody Guthrie to Bruce Springsteen, categories are useless. Justin, son of a great American troubadour Steve Earle, won the coveted "Song of the Year" award at the Americana Music Awards in 2011, and his latest cd "Nothing's Gonna Change the Way You Feel About Me Now" has garnered critical acclaim. These two [...]

PartisanRecords.comBy his own admission, Deer Tick's John McCauley doesn't give a shit about music. Or at least he doesn't during a scant, seven-minute interview with Gimme Noise. The gravel-throated
If that crazy bastard John McCauley is involved, count me in. John's main gig is Deer Tick , but he's also popped up in a couple of indie supergroups: Middle Brother (along with Delta Spirit's Matt Vasquez and Taylor Goldsmith from Dawes) and, most recently, Diamond Rugs , featuring members of other bands like Los Lobos, Dead Confederate, and the Black Lips. The bare bones, stripped down rock n' folk vibe is prevalent in the record. John's signature snarls shows up on songs like "Gimme a Beer," Call Girl Blues," and the killer holiday-themed [...]
Stumbling in the footsteps of legendary booze-hound acts like the Replacements and Guided By Voices, Providence quintet Deer Tick professes its love for alcohol pretty much every chance it gets. But judging from Deer Tick's work - most recently, the 2011 full-length Divine Providence and the new EP Tim , which contains leftover songs from the same sessions - the social aspect of drinking matters to the band as much as the buzz.… [ Read more ] [...]
Deer Tick play a great set to an excited crowd on Cinco de Mayo in Los Angeles.
If Diamond Rugs’ music were a man, it’d be the guy with the dirty hair and the joint drinking a PBR right next to the speakers at the party, feet firmly planted, head bobbing, eyes closed. He’s having the time of his life, and he doesn’t even need the rest of the party to do [...]
[on stage blackberry photo by nyctaper] Diamond Rugs are the new indie-rock supergroup, with John McCauley and Robbie Crowell of Deer Tick, Ian Saint Pe of Black Lips, Steve Berlin of Los Lobos, Hardy Morris of Dead Confederate and Bryan Dufresne of Six Finger Satellite. Last week the band released their self-titled album , a true collaboration as all members contribute tracks to the record. Diamond Rugs played a handful of shows at SXSW this year, and we were fortunate to catch the Hotel Vegan show on the last day of the [...]
Drunk-punk supergroup Diamond Rugs counts members from Deer Tick, Black Lips, Los Lobos, Dead Confederate, and Six Finger Satellite. Really, though, they're just a new Deer Tick, with John J. McCauley III taking the most rocking parts of Divine Providence to the Nth degree for the band's self-titled debut. Surprisingly, that's a compliment to this band of hard-drinkin' rockers. Despite gimmicks galore, the album's got oodles of substance. "Christmas in a Chinese Restaurant" may reference moo goo gai pan and "Feliz Navidad", but its sparse instrumentation and chilly vibe, courtesy of [...]
Hollis Brown Album: Nothing & The Famous No One EP (Out 4/3) Label: Unsigned Hollis Brown - Spoonful (Featuring John McCauley) Tweet
Some might call Deer Tick's new album a "heady" experience. This week on New Music Monday we take a look at Deer Tick, the band whose name has "bite" but whose music does not (bite, that is). Their latest album, Divine Providence , released in October 2011, features an array of rockers and insightful, hung-over ballads, all of which call to mind no less a touchstone than the Replacements - and they do the 'Mats proud. Lead singer and songwriter John McCauley - who hails from Providence, Rhode Island, hence the album title - [...]
