Little Tybee,
Easter Island,
Do It to Julia
40 Watt Club
Little Tybee front
man Brock Scott says
he considers Venice
Is Sinking and Reptar
his "Athens bud
dies," having shared
the stage with both
here in town. And
it's funny that they
found each other,
because stylistically
this Atlanta-based
ensemble falls right in between the two—bridging the former's delicate string arrange
ments with the latter's Paul Simon-influenced songwriting.
"I'm really inspired by bands that can reinterpret the ideas of pop music," says Scott,
and innovation is something Little Tybee does well. Between Scott's intuitive«ear and the
theoretical knowledge of his classically trained bandmates, Little Tybee crafts lush, lovely
ballads that are both unpredictable and underscored by irresistible hooks.
Scott says there is a pool of about 12 musicians who lend their talent to Little Tybee
on record and live when available, but the core of the band is Scott on vocals, keys and
guitar, backed by Nirvana Kelly on violin, Ryan Donald on bass, Pat Brooks on percussion
and Josh Marton on the eight-(count 'em!) string electric guitar. The latter instrument
certainly turns heads at their shows, and Marion's technical skill is something of a rein
terpretation of pop in itself. ,
"Usually, if you see eight strings you think of Animals as Leaders or the metal scene,
but he takes those same ideas and [turns them into] a kind of tasteful jazz," says Scott.
And while Scott is certainly drawn to melodic earworms, he's also lyrically inspired by
the resilience of a melody and its power as a mnemonic device.
"I find it really fascinating... that you can hear a song you haven't heard in 13 years
and you'll instantly know all the words to it. Your mind can remember things associated
with music or a melody," he says. In fact, sometimes Scott writes songs simply because
there's something he wants to learn and remember. "I did a whole album on Greek
mythology just because I was interested in Greek mythology," he says. "I had a song
about Paul Revere's ride that Palin should probably hear." So, who knows, you might just
learn something at this show, and if not... at the very least you'll have a few great tunes
stuck in your head. [Michelle Gilzenrat]
