Maybird at Stone Church w/ Carinae & Moxie
Josh Netsky is the singer and principal songwriter of the Brooklyn/Rochester based band Maybird. Along with Sam Snyder, Kurt Johnson and Joshs brother Adam Netsky the band self-released their debut record, Down and Under in 2013. The ambitious, independent record caught the ear of producer Danger Mouse (Gnarls Barkley, Broken Bells) who approached the band to sign to his Columbia Records imprint, 30th Century Records. In April of 2016 Maybird released Turning Into Water, an EP that fuses expensive psychedelia with evocative roots rock accents. NPR debuted the video for the song Looking Back stating, Its a poignant, profoundly emotional ode to childhood, fleeting youth and chasing dreams. The band was featured on the soundtrack for
Amazons hit show The Man in the High Castle covering Brenda Lees classic All Alone Am I. The record included Beck, Norah Jones, The Shins, Sharon Van Etten, Angel Olsen and others. Recently Maybird spent time in Nashville, TN working with Patrick Carney of The Black Keys at his home recording studio. The new set of songs, Unraveling, was released in June 2017 and the band has toured with Portugal. The Man, The Babe Rainbow and Joywave in support of the new release.
A swirling, radiant combination of sounds, Carinaes music contains familiar elements of psychedelia, funk, soul, 80s pop, prog, fusion, and rock. And yet the band approaches its influences without affixing itself to the time or place they come from. Imagine, for a moment,
discovering a crate full of records and having no way to gauge how fashionable they are or of the social currency attached to the sounds.
If, for example, extraterrestrials came to earth and stumbled across classic records by the likes of Santana, Yes, Tears For Fears, Broken Social Scene or [take your pick], they would have that kind of sensation, responding solely to the sounds themselves, not all the extra layers we tend to heap on top of them. And we dont even have to go as far as visitors from other words: we ourselves do the exact same thing as children, when music reaches us completely unimpeded by the self-consciousness we develop later.
Which is not to say that Carinaes music is child-like. On the contrary, the uncanny fluidity with which the seven members of the band move through complex, endlesslly uncoiling song structures can only come from a group of players that have logged countless hours honing their instrumental dialogue into a shared language. Still, songs like Making Breakfast, eta / someday and Honey Money --- the singles off the bands self-titled debut full-length --- convey an unbridled sense of freedom to explore that belies the sophistication of the arrangements.
"Northampton, MA - The college town is home to a major underground rock revival, thanks in part to Carinae, a Velvets-influenced psych band with three lead singers giving off big harmonies, and huge, winding riffs. - Rolling Stone

Described as a "non-stop, effervescent fountain of all-original, bubbly, super-danceable, 80s-esque indie rock," the band formed in the spring of 2017 when four area teen musicians got together and started creating their own original songs and sound. Moxie is David Cohen (16, Putney, bass guitar), Leander Holzapfel (17, Marlboro, lead guitar), Rei Kimura (15, Brattleboro, vocals, rhythm guitar) and Daniel Snyder (16, Guilford, drums).
