Mass Recovery Fest - Artist Showcase #3- The Thin Heir

Every day I'll be posting an Artist Showcase--a short introduction to each one of the bands playing Mass Recovery Fest this year.


The Thin Heir




If you go to the Thin Heir’s myspace you will see three videos posted. Two are live videos, recorded by shaky handed onlookers in a kitchen and living room, and the other is bizarre local access TV appearance on the green screen obsessed Sal’s Show (which I was pretty sure they made up, but it turns out after doing a search online, that it is a real show). I use these videos as evidence that the 7 piece, boston based FOLK-punk group (mostly Folk, but a little punk), will play anywhere and cause handclapping good times all around.
Also on the Thin Heir’s myspace you can hear a little number called “Knock it Down with Fists,” which will be included in the upcoming Mass Recovery compilation tape, “Everyday Use” (you see what I did there). The song is cute without being annoying and catchy without being redundant and I find myself practicing air violin and singing the chorus every morning in the shower: “Knock it down with fists or a little more, it’s all okay, yeah it’s all alright, will you hold my hands they’re a little sore.”
You can catch these dudes in living rooms and kitchens all across New England and on Day 1 of Mass Recovery Fest.
