Kyle from Damage Pants, Esbat, and Mastertape has been playing some country and western music under his given name Kyle James Smith. No word yet on recordings but I would liken it to some reflective, earthy sounds of the likes of Townes Van Zandt, Jimmy Dale Gilmore, Willie Nelson's "Stardust" album, and a man-Nanci Griffith...
Over the coming weeks he is joining Portland ME's Wesley Hartley & The Traveling Trees on the road for their dates in Texas, and playing a few shows over SXSW.
