The New York Fund

THE NEW YORK FUND



Heartache and Jack Daniel’s. Good sex, bad sex, guitars. Sweet love songs and dirty, chugging tunes. The occasional bubble of self-pity blitzed by a nasty riff, and the odd spot of lechery justified by the fact that, well, we all get the horn - so why pretend? The New York Fund have all the soulful rock’n’roll ingredients that have always been and will always be.



Singer Joe McAdam displays the cocky passion and gentle poetry that only a Glaswegian who thinks he should have grown up in the American South could have. Jim on bass and Leo on drums drive the band like a rusty tractor with a Ferrari engine, and Adrian makes those of us who’ve ever tried and failed to learn guitar realise why we gave up.



As well as indulging in the obligatory rock pastimes of drinking, bowling and beard-growing, The New York Fund spent 2007 priming their public at a plethora of gigs around the UK (headlining, and supporting Ash, The Hold Steady, Ed Harcourt, M.Ward, Modest Mouse, OK Go, and Captain). Their debut release the “ Guns EP” was released to great acclaim in March , gaining the band new fans in the likes of Kaiser Chiefs and Dermot O’Leary who had them in session twice for Radio 2. They wowed audiences at a dozen festivals last summer, including Glastonbury, T in the Park, Guilfest and the V Festival. This year the band have so far been writing and recording, a new release is scheduled for late August, and festival audiences can again see them at Glastonbury, T in the Park, the V Festival, Ireland’s Electric Picnic and the Ben+Jerry’s Sundae on Clapham Common.

Everyone who sees this band live is converted – get on the dirty trail with The New York Fund…
