Very Emergency supporting Peter Frampton August 19th, 28th, 29th & 30th!
After more than 30 years, Peter Frampton has reunited with the legendary and
illustrious Chris Kimsey (widely known in the producing world for lending his
talent to such Frampton albums as Frampton Comes Alive!, Wind Of Change,
and Somethingʼs Happening, as well as the Rolling Stonesʼ Some Girls, Tattoo
You and albums by Duran, Duran and The Killing Joke . Whatʼs the uniting force
between Frampton and Kimsey, you ask? Up-and-coming Lexington, Kentucky
band Very Emergency – five ambitious, talented and resourceful guys who stuck
their neck out and saw that Frampton heard their version of his 1977 song “Iʼm in
You.”
“I never would have thought of the song that way,” said Frampton – but he liked
it...so much so that he invited the guys to come record a version of the song in
his home studio! Frampton himself backed them up on guitar and vocals on the
recording, which will be released as a single in conjunction with their upcoming
debut album The Getaway. Produced by Kimsey, The Getaway is a concept
album about a character who comes from a wealthy upbringing but turns to a life
of crime. Very Emergency vocalist Kenneth Fletcher says that though the album
follows a fictitious character, many of the songs symbolize struggles that the
band has gone through, including “graduating college in todayʼs cold economic
climate, failed relationships, and a constantly changing idea of morality.”
The bandʼs struggles, for the most part, seem to be a thing of the past. This is a
story of five guys in a band from a mid-sized Kentucky town, who went out on a
limb, garnered the attention of both a legendary producer and legendary rock
star, and are now on the cusp of making it big...all we ask from you is that you
help share it!
