Rotary Downs

Studio 360

New Orleans is famous worldwide for its R&B, brass bands, piano players — not its indie rockers! The band Rotary Downs doesn’t sound like the New Orleans we’re used to, but their music still captures the anger and melancholy of the city now. They join Kurt in the studio to play a few songs off their latest album, Chained to the Chariot.
