Please let me know if you have any questions, etc. Thanks!<\/p>\n<p>Wilson Getchell, the front man of the eclectic rock band Thirsty Curses, will release his debut solo EP, This To That, on Thursday, October 12th. Consisting of five songs, This To That showcases Getchell&#8217;s songwriting talents and musical versatility, as Getchell explores new sounds and instrumentation untapped in his earlier Thirsty Curses work. As Getchell noted, \u201c\u2026with all the Thirsty Curses releases, there\u2019s typically been a focus on recording the songs in the same way we would perform them live. With this project, I was able to throw those concerns out the window and just do whatever I wanted.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Getchell, who plays guitar and keyboards in Thirsty Curses, performed all of the instruments on This To That , with the exception of guest appearances by Jason Froeber (saxophone on \u201cThis Just Might Take Some Time\u201d and \u201cTrauma Queen\u201d), Tee Corbett (trumpet on \u201cBrand New Nintendo\u201d), and Lodge McCammon (cello and bass guitar on \u201cAre You Still There?\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>This To That opens with the puerile and playful coming of age tune, \u201cBrand New Nintendo,\u201d in which Getchell humorously retraces his life&#8217;s missteps, and ponders the resulting twists and turns. It&#8217;s followed by the Pavement-esque &#8220;This Just Might Take Some Time&#8221;, a cathartic post-breakup anthem with a banging saxophone solo, and then the toe-tapper &#8220;Trauma Queen&#8221;. The EP is rounded out by the existential crisis themed \u201cFifty Straight Nights,&#8221; and the ballad \u201cAre You Still There?\u201d, an orchestral-ish rearrangement of a tune which previously appeared on Thirsty Curses&#8217; To The Ends of The Earth (2022).<\/p>\n<p>Wilson Getchell<br \/>\n703-314-9410<br \/>\nwww.thirstycurses.com<\/p>\n<p>Wilson&#8217;s Socials:<br \/>\nFacebook Instagram Spotify<br \/>\nTikTok YouTube Twitter<\/p>\n<p>PRESS for This To That<br \/>\n&#8220;Wilson Getchell&#8217;s beaten and bedraggled mid-tempo tales kick up their share of dust&#8221; -The Big Takeover<br \/>\n\u201cThis To That is a great EP that above all else displays some very solid songwriting. Each track presents a unique facet of Getchell\u2019s creative vision, resulting in a collection that is cohesive and enjoyable. From start to finish, this EP delivers.\u201d \u2013Broken Color Blog<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2026this one started good and just got better and better. See for yourself!\u201d \u2013Pitch Perfect<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe five songs on the record showcase Getchell\u2019s songwriting talents and musical versatility as they run the spectrum from seriously sophisticated (\u201cThis Just Might Take Some Time\u201d) to courageously silly songcraft (\u201cBrand New Nintendo\u201d) all backed by a meaningful expert musical palette complete with sultry sax and passionate piano. You\u2019re going wanting to pay attention to this one!!!\u201d \u2013Rockin\u2019 Rich Lynch<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Trauma Queen\u2019 is a majestic, swinging cabaret-like track with a charming uptempo tone and toe-tapping energy. The beautiful instrumentation, featuring sparkling keys and a deep, resilient sax, add a rich backdrop to the lush, harmonious tone of the vocals. It\u2019s a captivating little ditty that draws influence from contemporary folk while incorporating 50\u2019s swing and hints of classic rock rawness. \u2013ClickRollBoom<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My band Thirsty Curses (Raleigh) is still active and working on new material, but I put these recordings together on my own during a short TC hiatus earlier this year.
