The Loom, Oh Land Play Backyard Brunch Sessions In Brooklyn

Sunday’s (10/10/10) Backyard Brunch Session combined three of our favorite things — outdoor live music, October weather, and pizza — gourmet homemade pizza no less.

The Loom playing Backyard Brunch Sessions

Launched in the Spring by music biz multitasker and foodie David Chaitt, Backyard Brunch Sessions feature local bands cooking in Chaitt’s Brooklyn kitchen, then feasting with and performing for an intimate audience in his backyard.

The Sessions are produced as video episodes by Chaitt, West Egg Productions and NYC Taper.

Yesterday’s Session was the last of the season, and featured Brooklyn-based indie-folk band The Loom and electro-pop trio Oh Land.

The Loom’s set of folk ballads and Americana-style indie rock felt perfectly autumnal in all its shades of brass (french horn and trumpet), acoustic guitar and banjo, homemade washtub bass, drums, and warm, sing-along group harmonies.

We’re looking forward to hearing The Loom’s upcoming new record, which was recorded in NYC at Mavericks Studio with producer/engineer Allen Farmelo (look out for our feature on Allen coming soon!), and mastered by Howie Weinberg at Masterdisk.

Check this band out! They’re playing Joe’s Pub next week, and Bowery Ballroom with the wonderful Horse Feathers, November 13.

Oh Land

Next up was Oh Land performing a fun, stripped down electro pop set on glockenspiel, two omnichords and a looping machine.

Led by Danish singer/songwriter Nanna Øland Fabricius, Oh Land have a cool sound and the minimal electro setup for the Backyard (typically all-acoustic) showcased their inventive songs and experimental-pop execution really well. Oh Land’s U.S. debut album will be coming out on Epic Records this Fall.

Over this past summer, Backyard Brunch Sessions featured a nice range of artists including Nicole Atkins, Team B, Franz Nicolay, Pearl and the Beard and more. Click to watch the episodes on YouTube or http://www.youtube.com/user/backyrdsessions.

With the season for outdoor music coming to a close, Chaitt is moving operations indoors and will host the first Brunch After Dark at Brooklyn Bowl on November 8, featuring artists who’ve graced the Backyard including Oh Land, Arms, The Canon Logic, Fatty Acid and The Courtesy Tier.
