The nostalgic sound of “Young Tom Cruise” by Mayor of Bad News, and recorded at Converse Rubber Tracks, will have you yearning for an endless summer. - Converse
The Mayor of Bad News, a gleefully off-kilter Brooklyn lo-fi duo, is playing The Trash Bar this Monday, Oct. 24.
I can't find a bio or website for the band (though, there are some free downloads on Bandcamp and Soundcloud) so here is the write-up on the band from a show at the beginning of the year at Pete's Candy Store: "The Mayor of Bad News consists of brothers Max and Sam Seeger: Max writes songs dealing with love, haunted houses, revenge and fainting, for which he sings and plays acoustic guitar; Sam plays guitar solos against his will. Their influences include but are not limited to Coast to Coast AM with George Noory."
Sharing the bill at Monday's show is: Cannabis (11PM), Columbus Priority Mail (10PM) and Portmanteaux (9PM). The Mayor of Bad News go on at 8PM which is also the start of The Trash Bar's hour-long open bar. Cover is $7. - Brooklyn Rocks

Bio
The Mayor of Bad News is Max Seeger, Sam Seeger, Wowie Hernando and Joe Levine.
At the start of this year (2013) we released an EP called "Turn on the Charm," which we recorded at Converse's Rubber Tracks Studio in Brooklyn -- Each of the 5 tracks relate to the title as you picture the narrator hunched over a sink, sweaty, tremble-ly, hunch-ily, muttering just above his or her breath, "Get. Up." To get a good sense of our disposition, we recommend you listen to the EP, IN ORDER.
