The Henry Clay People - Somewhere On The Golden Coast

Somewhere On The Golden Coast bottles that boundless live energy in 11 airtight tracks and 34 filler-free minutes. Listening closely, it's easy to see how all of this started, how a revolving door of "crappy punk bands" led the Siara brothers to form The Henry Clay People in the first place. Two buzz-building albums (2006's Blacklist the Kid with the Red Moustache and 2008's For Cheap or For Free) and several lineup shifts later, they're still keeping things simple. Recorded mostly at The Ship Studios in Eagle Rock, CA by Earlimart frontman Aaron Espinoza, he encouraged the band to ditch the headphones, take it easy on overdubs, drink more beer and record live in some room to tape. The idea was to get as close as possible to the essence of the live show.
