DENVER BRONCOS UK (BOOKING)

photo2018 low

The Denver Broncos UK (DBUK for short) consist of Munly Munly, Lord Dwight Pentacost, Rebecca Vera and Slim Cessna from Slim Cessna’s Auto Club in Denver, Colorado. In contrast to the rousing sounds of SCAC, they produce a sound that is much more subtle, sensitive and intimate, with many strings and percussions reminiscent of a rural, pre-industrial era.

As the album title „Songs One Through Sixteen“ already says, the new full-length consists of no less than 16 songs (!), Gothic Americana in a class of its own. A beautifully spooky brand of pure acoustic fabric that inevitably sends shivers down the backs of the most experienced fans. In the past, the band has worked with a number of prominent musicians, including members of Devotchka, Tarantella and David Eugene Edwards of 16 Horsepower. DBUK lead singer and acclaimed alto country songwriter/storyteller Jay Munly’s voice is equally divided between Peter Murphy and Nick Cave and contrasts superbly with Rebecca Vera’s falsetto on a series of tracks from „Songs One Through Sixteen“. The album’s strings and percussions are exhilaratingly dramatic and supported by Auto Club members Dwight Pentacost and Slim Cessna. All of this culminates in one of the more impressive releases the genre has possibly seen for years.

The band appeared on the Jack White „Rockin‘ Legends“ tribute album in 2013 alongside Wanda Jackson, Shooter Jennings, Robert Gorden, Los Straightjackets, Gary U.S. Bonds and others, and was recently named Westword Weekly’s Best Denver American Artist! „Songs One Through Sixteen“, DBUK’s new studio album, will be released on November 9th via Glitterhouse Records, followed by an extensive tour!
