Benevento / Russo Duo – Best Reason To Buy The Sun – New 2 LP Record 2020 Royal Potato Family Vinyl – Jazz
Benevento/Russo Duo is the electrifying combo of Marco Benevento on keys and Joe Russo on drums. They made a name for themselves on the downtown NYC rock and jazz scenes in the mid-Aughts. Within a year of their debut at Knitting Factory, they’d be touring the U.S. and garnering praise from Pitchfork, Relix, Village Voice and others. All these years later, Marco and Joe still play together in the beloved Grateful Dead revival band, JRAD. Now, for the first time ever, the Benevento/Russo Duo’s acclaimed studio albums, ‘Best Reason To Buy the Sun’ and ‘Play Pause Stop’ will be reissued, each as a 2-LP sets on 180-gram vinyl with new liner notes and previously unpublished photos. Bonafide classics of their era, ‘Best Reason To Buy The Sun’ and ‘Play Pause Stop,’ both individually and collectively, merge indie, jam and post rock into one ecstatic vision with tracks like “Becky,” “Something For Rockets,” “Scratchitti” and more.
