Kansas City, Missouri power-pop-soul group, Brandon Phillips and The Condition arrive under your tree this holiday season and just in time for Thanksgiving with their catchy-as-hell debut double A-side single “Heartsick” b/w “Clean and Sober”.
The group, which is the early Costello-meets-Motown solo project of Brandon Phillips (The Architects, The Gadjits) and features members of The Architects, The Gadjits, The Roseline, Madisen Ward & Mamma Bear and Rachel Mallin & The Wild Type will be kicking off both the release of their galactic debut as well this most-special season of giving and goodwill by supporting BØRNS on 96.5 KRBZ’s “The Night The Buzz Stole Christmas” on Dec. 16 at The Midland Theatre in Kansas City, MO.
“There are these two periods in music other than punk rock that are really special to me,” explains Brandon. “One of them is the soul and girl-group pop of the 60’s and the other is this beautiful moment in the 80’s when all these new wave artists like Elvis Costello and The Pretenders were being openly worshipful of 60’s soul and girl-group sounds.”
