Labrador (Pat King)

Labrador frontman Pat King sits down with John to talk about growing up in the rural Hudson Valley, being exposed to a lot of art and music through his father, and how countless family trips to New York City convinced him he was a city guy. Pat also talks about his bands, getting away from practicing them to death, and writing more like John Prine. He shares a performance of a new song, "Slow Down, King", from Labrador's new album.  The new Labrador LP, 'The Rosy Red World' is out June 5th on No Way Of Knowing Records. The band will play on June 12th at Johnny Brenda's with Old Souls and Maxwell Stern and the Good Light Band. They'll also be down in Newark, DE on June 13 at Newark Bike Project with Death By Indie and Red Birds. We're having a party! 25 O'Clock will be doing a live taping on June 20th at The Grape in Manayunk. RSVP here, the event is free. There will be conversations with and live performances from The Blackburns and Máty, as well as plenty of hang-out time. Do attend.
