QTY
Jun 29, 2017
Rodeo” is the latest single to be released from the New York duo, QTY (pronounced: cue-tee-why), via Dirty Hit Records. Recorded by Bernard Butler (Suede), this track has all the garage rock swagger that is infused by the duo’s NYC roots. They put out their debut 7“ with “Rodeo” on the a-side and “World Breaker” on the b-side. Their debut full length album will drop later this year.
Singer Dan Lardner: “’Rodeo’ is half of our relationship summed up in a 2 minute 30 second song. The ‘person’ getting referenced every chorus is Alex; the rest of the lyrics are a slant-rhyming summarization of how I viewed the moments in life in between the ones where Alex could be there to get my head straight.”
The band, consisting of Dan Lardner and Alex Niemetz, met over an ice cream and bonded over a shared love for glam rock and David Bowie specifically. They are now the first U.S. band to be signed to U.K. label Dirty Hit.
QTY has Fall U.S. tour dates booked beginning October 11th in San Francisco.
