STRATEGIC ARTIST ADVOCACY SINCE 1997
"Defiant self-assurance... infectious energy. Embodies 1970s vibes mixed with contemporary indie rock, led by carpenter/musician David Boone."
I haven't tagged Alberta & The Dead Eyes, because Dave is smarter than the rest of us by not being on social media. Thanks to B-Side Guys for the thoughtful words, however!
𝘎𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘖𝘳 𝘛𝘢𝘬𝘦 by Alberta & The Dead Eyes is out now. Click for your life!
"At the heart of it lies a groove that resembles the steps of a reptile crawling out of the Sun and into the shade."
Thanks to Alt77 for the kind words about "So Cool," the lead cut on the just-released new album 𝘎𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘖𝘳 𝘛𝘢𝘬𝘦 by Alberta & The Dead Eyes (which is mostly Dave Boone & Dave Boone).
The man knows his way around a jam. Listen at the link!
"Brings together a glam sensibility with an indie rock cool... makes you want to soak up the night and see what’s out there." — Glide Magazine

New music from Dave Boone aka Alberta & The Dead Eyes today over at Big Takeover!
"There is a simplicity and spaciousness that is rare in music making circles today... when done correctly, as it is here, that’s all you need." Correct! No notes! I am the ultimate fan of simplicity in song. Any time that I am asked about what genre of music I work with, I say, "great songwriting." That has always been my attitude.
The "Slow Fool" single is available everywhere tomorrow. Listen today at the link. Click for your life!
Jeff at Treblezine continues to be one of those writers who teaches me things about my own artists. I love that!
"Spiff" is the first single from the upcoming Alberta & The Dead Eyes album 𝘎𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘖𝘳 𝘛𝘢𝘬𝘦 (March 15, Dead Eyes Collective) and "carries a swampy groove with a bit of a mid-1970s tint to it a la peak Fleetwood Mac, but with a rich backing of organ and layers of vocal harmonies that rise into a brief moment of transcendence that fades nearly as soon as it arrives. But vocalist Dave Boone’s hollers and yelps make the path to and from that climactic chorus just as fun."

"'Bundled Up Blues' sounds like the story of terrible things that occurred so long ago that laughing about it is not only permitted but encouraged. It’s a joyful, playful sound built on the blues." This from Alt77 on this crackerjack of a tune by Alberta & The Dead Eyes!
I will never get tired of thoughtful takes on music that I represent. For me, it is never about the outlet, it is about the writer.

This percussive piano playing by Dave Boone (he's on drums, too) is what first got me hooked on his band Alberta & The Dead Eyes. Not tagged, because not on socials. Don't you wish you chose that path?!
Thanks to The Spill Magazine for this premiere of "Bundled Up Blues" from the 𝘎𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘒𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘺 EP, out this Friday. You will dig this jam. Click for your life… and pre-save here!
Alberta & The Dead Eyes is the giant-sounding band that in reality is the majority work of one real-life carpenter, David Boone (or D. Boone as he often signs off, evoking another literal and figurative giant of musical history, D. Boon of The Minutemen.)
In fact, Boone’s songs contain that same ramshakle joy and conversational, inclusive tone that Boon’s do. It’s the sound of a natural talent letting it fly.
“I’m a carpenter by day and sometimes even by night,” Boone says. “A fine carpenter at that, but a better musician.”
You may want to leave the page now to find out more about Boone, but don’t bother. He made the right choice. The choice that none of us made and many wish we had. Boone is nowhere to be found on social media.
He lets the songs do the sharing.
Alberta & The Dead Eyes will release its new 11-song album Give or Take on March 15, 2024. The album will be preceded by “Ghost Kitty,” a four-song EP of additional songs on Dec. 22, 2023.
