Evolution. Its what keeps the best bands afloat song after song, show after show, record after record. Mike Harmeier was still in his early 20s when he formed Mike and the Moonpies. From the start, they were the definition of a workingmans country band, cutting their teeth with five-hour sets on Austins dancehall circuit before spreading their music to the rest of America. By the early 2020s, theyd become global ambassadors of homegrown Texas music, flying their flag everywhere from Abbey Road Studios (where they recorded 2019s Cheap Silver drummer Taylor Englert, guitarist Catlin Rutherford, bassist Omar Oyoque, and steel guitarist Zachary Moulton looking for something new. After all, their music had decidedly changed. Why shouldnt their name do the same? Silverada marks a new chapter in the bands history. Its not just the title of the boldest release of the groups critically-acclaimed career; its also the name of the reinvigorated band itself. Back in the day, all we wanted to do was play the Broken Spoke, says Harmeier, nodding to the hometown honky-tonk in Austin, TX, where Silverada began sowing the seeds for a sound that mixed timeless twang with modern-day dynamics. We had different aspirations back then. We were still figuring out what kind of band we were gonna be, and that took a lot of time and a lot of records. read more
