VIDEO Iron Jayne's 'Ship' rises from the ashes of Back Pockets
Posted by Chad Radford @ChadRad on Mon, Dec 17, 2012 at 10:27 AM
Ever since the Back Pockets (supposedly) broke up earlier this year, Emily Kempf has channeled her musical energy into a new band, called Iron Jayne, which she unveiled at the Corndogorama back in July.
"Ship" is the first video and single to materialize under this new moniker, and at the time of the video shoot, the group consisted of Kempf (bass/vocals), Ryan Odem (guitar), and Garrett Goss (drums). A bass player may be added to the lineup sometime soon, fleshing out a full-on four-piece.
If the new song/video makes anything clear it's that the stripped-down approach bodes well for Kempf, allowing a more refined sense of personality and pop songwriting abilities to shine brighter than the experimental theatrics that often overpowered her efforts with the Back Pockets.
There aren't any Iron Jayne shows on the books at the moment, but the groups is currently recording an EP (due out this spring) at Birdhouse Studios with Damon Moon.
