Release Notes:
--------------
Brooklyn, NY-based Proud Simon has been, at times, a solo project; a
small folk-rock band; a large ensemble with horns, woodwinds, and
strings; and, in its most recent incarnation, a five-piece rock band.
Mostly Proud Simon is really the songs and singing of Brian Keenan,
plus whatever musical friends he can round up, and the sort of chamber
pop Americana Keenan specializes in, along with his instinctive
arranging skills, gives the band a unique, ornate, and atmospheric
sound that still manages to sound somehow familiar. Proud Simon
officially began in Rochester, NY, in 2003 when Keenan and friend
Charlie Monteverde began jamming in a garage together, eventually
recording and releasing an EP, Leaving, and a ten-song album, Sometimes
a Stranger, in 2004. Expanding to a five-piece, the band released a
second EP, Victory March Through the Brandenburg Gate, in 2005, after
which that version of Proud Simon folded and Keenan moved to the
Brooklyn area, rebuilding the band from the ground up and releasing the
Bryce Hackford-produced Shoestring Universe in 2006, followed by Night
of Criminals in 2008.
