( n the dim lighting of Fitzwilly’s.
Mark McDav id’s, Sean Smith’s and
Chris Ginsbaeh’s flashing grins are
still visible.
The three are members of the local
six-man band The Sly Letter. McDav id.
Smith and Ginsbach arc making an ap
pearance to clear the air about the
band's name and talk about their Cl) re
lease party for These Autumn Skies.
The group’s name comes from the
title of a document that band members
say granted their friend diplomatic im
munity after he was commissioned by
the U.S. government for top secret
work in Russia.
The hand’s present day linc-up was
formed from a complex mix of who-
knew-who, bands breaking up and
phone calls made to invite them to join
the club. The Sly Letter has opened for
such acts as Vertical Horizon. Blue Oc
tober, Pat Green and flic Scabs. Mc
Dav id. Smith and Ginsbach said each
of the hand members have their own
musical tastes, but two common influ
ences arc The Dave Matthews Band
and Vertical Horizon.
“It was completely awesome (open
ing for Vertical Horizon]. We opened
up for them vvhen they weren’t that big;
we saw them when they were in a big
van. and now they’ve got this huge tour
bus.’’ McDavid said.
Other influences come from a wide
range of music genres, from jazz to
funk to rap.
The hand’s sound, which can best be
described as mellow, earned the band a
win at a battle of the hands contest in
College Station last spring. As a result of
that performance, the group was
to plav at a music festival in HosiB
"It was a biker festival,”Si
“We were a bunch of college bill
ing out with a hunch of45-yw
>00-pound guys with Harley'!
naked Bud Light girls.”
guess it was the worstsl
\ ite my parents to," McDavid
The band members said they
surprised by the fact the group oil
ers receiv ed their music well anil
couraged them.
They thought if they can
with ibis bunch then they can®
\\ ith any crowd.
The band incorporatesaneck
mix of instruments including then
John and the d jembe to the usual:
of bass guitar and drums.
