Tuesday, October 12th, OK Productions presents: Henry Clay People

OK Productions Presents:
Henry Clay People on Tuesday, October 12th, 2010 at the Drunken Unicorn.



JOEY and ANDY are brothers.
JONATHAN joined sometime later.
ERIC was in the band then left then came back
JORDAN has always been a good pal and now he's in the band too..

They all get together and make music because making music is fun, especially with your friends.

They want everybody to be a Henry Clay Person.

They are best seen live as opposed to dead.

They have no affiliation with Henry Clay nor do they support the obsolete platforms of the Whig Party.

The End

--The Henry Clay People

The Dig are performing second.



"With one hand deep in roots rock and roll and live performances that lift you up and leave you ragged, The Dig are building a reputation as one of the best young bands in New York. The songs on their new EP, Good Luck and Games, produced by Bryce Goggin (Pavement, The Ramones) have energy and intelligence matched only by their heartfelt swagger. See them now so you can say you saw them then." - The Onion

"I have no witty observations or creative writing pull quotes to give you. They are just a damn good band." -Music Snobbery

"This is the catchiest, most intriguing power pop band to emerge out of the no-name pile in some time. Brooklyn’s The Dig has one self-released EP and a growing live following. Even so, they’ll most likely be news to you, the way they were news to me. That’s good news, though, The Dig is fairly crackling with potential." -Pop Matters

The District Attorneys are the openers.



The District Attorneys "Orders From..." EP review: When I think of "fun in the sun," lawyers aren't the first thing that comes to mind, but from now on, I will look to Athens' District Attorneys for the appropriate soundtrack. Their summery Americana is wrapped in a gauzy layer of reverb that gives the songs a subtle beach vibe. But there is just a enough pedal steel calling in the background and jangly banjo to place the band firmly in the South. So, instead of valley girls and big kahunas, The District Attorneys pay homage to the mountains and valleys of South Carolina and the bluesy, boozy energy of the East Coast. An overdose of reverb seems to be a common trend these days, in the wake of Animal Collective, Grizzly Bear, Surfer Blood and the like, but this is much more organic and breezier than all that. The smooth backing vocals float in like wafts of honeysuckle, and the mood remains upbeat and light-hearted throughout. Stand-out tracks include the particularly celebratory "Splitsville," with its chorus of friends singing in the background, locomotive harmonica and big Southern rock riffs. Closing track "Jerry Ten" made me smile with its seamless homage to Poison, as frontman Drew Beskin hollers melodically, "won't be nothin' but a good time" mid-verse. Orders From… is a sizable EP at seven tracks, but every song is absolutely essential. Expect this gem to make more than a few local year-end best-of lists. -Flagpole (Athens magazine)
