This Brooklyn-based orchestral pop band THE SILENT LEAGUE originated as the solo identity of former Mercury Rev singer & keyboardist Justin Russo in the late nineties. Russo secretly stole each available moment in his former band's busy tour schedule to write and record his own fragile and epic LP, "The Orchestra, Sadly, Has Refused". Justin is joined on the album by Sam Fogarino (Interpol) and Sean 'Grasshopper' Mackowiack (Mercury Rev). Blending glockenspiels and trumpets, howling guitar drones and gentle piano, the live incarnation, a dense and boisterous chamber pop ensemble, is quickly becoming NYC's most whispered about 'conversion experience'. |
