11:00 – Interview with Brandon Phillips and Sid Sowder

Brandon, Zach, & Adam Phillips come from an artistic family. Their father was a jazz musician, playwright, and actor and their mother an art teacher. The brothers started by playing AC/DC covers, but moved on to original songs and a broader range of influences. In 1991 they formed their first band and a 14-year-old Brandon led his younger brothers Zach & Adam into a seedy bar in KC to play their first gig to the small crowd of locals. In 1997 the brother’s a ska and rock & roll band, The Gadjits, released their debut album, Da Gravy on Yo’ Grits, on their own JoCo Ska label. They went on record five full length albums on Hellcat Records, Thick Records and an unreleased album for RCA Records. They appeared on The Vans Warped Tour, and supported the Skatallites, Rancid, and Let’s Go Bowling on the road.

In 2004 The Gadjits ended and the brothers formed a new band called The Architects who have released six full length albums and two EPs, including The Border Wars graphic novel/EP series, on which they worked with illustrator Mallory Dorn.

In the past three years the brothers have branched of into multiple musical and recording projects including Other Americans with Julie Berndsen (formerly of the Latenight Callers) on lead vocals, Radar State where Adam plays drums, and Brandon Phillips and The Condition with Brandon on vocals, Adam on drums, Zach on bass, former Gadjit member Ehren Starks on keyboard, Rachel Mallin (of Rachel Mallin & the Wild Type) on guitar, and Julie Berndsen on backup vocals. This ensemble changes based on availability of all involved.

Kansas City, Missouri bubblegum-soul champions Brandon Phillips and The Condition emerge from a long winters hibernation with a platinum –wrapped pouch of big league power pop that swings for the fences.

The group which is the Costello + Motown Girl Group project of Brandon Phillips (The Architects, The Gadjits, Other Americans) features an ensemble cast drawing talent from such notable KC bands as Madisen Ward and The Mama Bear, Hi Lux and Hipshot Killer has mobbed up with venerable Kansas City website Too Much Rock to fashion this special, vinyl-only release – LIMITED TO 500 COPIES FOREVER – for Record Store Day 2019.

On the A-side, “People Talk”– Brandon Phillips and the Condition simply do what they do with understated flex. Take a melody reminiscent of a sixties girl-group, bolt it to a boppy, eighties backbeat and then get to hanging all the accouterments and accessories of power-pop-soul on it like aftermarket chrome on a Lambretta scooter.

The B-side of this vinyl-only, limited-run record is a hand selected cover of Tommy Tutone’s “Angel Say No”– as near a perfect power-pop deep-cut as one is likely to find in even the dustiest record bin in it’s original version, here re-amplified by a crack rhythm section and wedded to the Ronettes-worshiping vocal style for which BP+C are known.
