They claim be folk music noobs, the band knowing little about the genre, the guitarist not knowing how to play the guitar until recently, and their resume looking more like a punk rocker than anyone with any down home roots. Surprisingly, out of this mesh composed of Pete Quirk singing, Derek Fudesco from the Murder City Devils playing bass, and Marty Lund on drums comes a simple yet catchy folk music that makes you feel at home.

The Cave Singers recently released this video for their single “Dancing On Our Graves,” one of their more upbeat and catchy pieces. The video features rough footage of the band playing what looks like a evangelical praise meeting / baptism. We see several strange characters praising and dancing to the music.

When you put it to music like this, the worshipers almost looks normal, like they are just really enjoying themselves.

I posted a comment on their YouTube video (they didn’t have any yet) saying they should come to Denton and play a show. You should also, and perhaps with enough pestering they will come to our town, at least to get the emails and comments to stop. And if you don’t live in Denton, then just pretend you are for a moment, and I will return the favor in the future, perhaps with pancakes.
