Get The Blessing March 22, 2012

One of the most original and exciting bands to emerge in years, Get The Blessing was formed by drummer Clive Deamer and bassist Jim Barr of ‘90s trip-hop superstars Portishead.

Part of the new generation of groups (think EST, Polar Bear, Led Bib and Acoustic Ladyland) that blend technically audacious jazz with hard-hitting rock motifs, Get The Blessing have stormed the scene. Taking riffs and rhythms from rock and dance music and artfully welding them onto fearsomely inventive improvisation (and also drawing on influences as diverse as Tortoise, Morphine, Elvis Costello, The Ramones, Red Snapper and Albert Ayler) has won them legions of fans along the way.
