Happy Birthday is Kyle Thomas (aka King Tuff), Chris Weisman, and Ruth Garbus.
They formed in November 2008 to play one show at the punk-space “Tinderbox”(RIP),
in their hometown Brattleboro, VT. Kyle needed a band to play his new pop songs because
he was too scared to play by himself. They enjoyed playing with each other so much that they
decided to keep doing it. They have now played a total of 5 shows.
Kyle sings and plays lead guitar. The songs are mostly his, but the band arranges and finishes
them together. He is also a painter and drawer and loves top 40, shoes, texting, comic books,
etc. Ruth Garbus plays drums and sings. She also makes her own music and art.
Chris Weisman plays “inverted-tuning” guitar, bass, and sings. He makes 4-track songs,
enjoys reading and writing, and is a guitar teacher.

MOSE ALLISON’s new album and ANTI- debut The Way of the World arrives March
23rd, 2010, marking his return to the recording studio after a 12 year absence. Working
with maverick producer JOE HENRY, ALLISON has found his most sympathetic setting
in years, surrounded by young, vibrant players, who add surprising slide guitar and
some sinewy saxophone to the classic MOSE sound; The Way of the World also features
MOSE’s first-ever duet with his daughter, singer AMY ALLISON. Yet this album is all MOSE,
from the solo song Modest Proposal, a sly scalpel taken to organized religion, to the
modernist, Monkish changes he takes the band through on the lone instrumental, Crush.
ALLISON occupies a hallowed place in blues songwriting, sitting alongside DIXON and PERCY
MAYFIELD in bringing a witty, urbane sensibility to the modern blues. Also well documented
is his sway over a generation of British rockers – most rock fans know THE WHO’s blistering
run-through of Young Man’s Blues on Live at Leeds, but are less aware of MOSE’s influence on
JOHN MAYALL, VAN MORRISON, RAY DAVIES, and THE YARDBIRDS, all the way through
to THE CLASH, who covered Look Here on Sandinista. Then there is that subtle, indefinable
fact of MOSE’s voice, that laconic, laid-back singing style without which we would have no
NORAH JONES, DIANA KRALL, BELLE AND SEBASTIAN, and SCHOOLHOUSE ROC. Not
to mention ALLISON the respected pianist, with his nods to MONK and GARNER, and a slew
of five-star Downbeat reviews in his piano bench. The Way of the World finds MOSE playing
and writing with a new looseness, a playfulness and verve that belies his years, while behind
the offhand swing lies the weight of those years, in the slowburn vitriol of MOSE’s mind in full
gear. That canny blend of easy swing and lyrical incision makes The Way of the World an
instant classic, in MOSE’s or anyone else’s repertoire.
