  Though he’s been living in Australia for over two years now, Brent DeBoer can’t abscond from his hometown of Portland, Oregon. While the drummer for renowned jangle-psych outfit The Dandy Warhols certainly enjoys Melbourne as his adopted hometown, when it came time to record the debut full-length with Immigrant Union, DeBoer knew he had to return to Portland, one of the great music cities...

Accordingly to their press release, Immigrant Union formed when Brent DeBoer (The Dandy Warhols) and Bob Harrow (Melbourne’s Lazy Sons) met at Cherry Bar one night. A mere 24 hours later, found themselves “on a farm outside Nagambie drinking VB cans and strumming classic country and rock ‘til dawn.” This is awkward, see, because I already dislike them for introducing themselves by way of this...

There are a large amount of them and they all sing the same vocal lines and their songs all kind of sound like the song you sing at... Read More
