Netherfriends

Emerging from the rooftops of Chicago in 2007, Netherfriends are that bastard-psych-pop-catchy as hell band that you've been searching for. Their debut 7-inch, Feathers and Dots, fused heavily layered arrangements with group sing-a-longs, spare pianos, synths, glockenspiels and other hard to place, but familiar sounds. The three-piece psychedelic pop band grabbed some early spark and attention from places like Blender and RCRD LBL and have played at both SXSW in Austin and CMJ in New York City. Netherfriends features Shawn Rosenblatt (vocals, guitar, piano), Paul Newmann (no not that Paul Newman..drums) Justin Fernado (guitar, bass, synth, and glockenspiel and vocals)

"Calling You Out" EP out July 2009

Emergency Umbrella just signed the Chicago band Netherfriends this week. They are now label-mates with acts like: Sinkane (of Montreal), Gentleman Auction House, The Foundary Field Recordings, and Drew Danburry.
