Luke Trimble Of Uh Bones Celebrates His Debut Single Leading Charlie Reed

Gossip Wolf has only heard one song by Charlie Reed, but if the beautifully languid, psych-tinged acoustic garage-pop of “Love Hangover” is any indication, then they’re gonna be one of the best new bands in town! That’s right, Charlie Reed are a band, not a person—with roots in the solo project that singer-songwriter Luke Trimble started after his band Uh Bones called it quits. Trimble decided to ditch Uh Bones’ shaggy electric guitars and experiment with a nylon-string acoustic, recording on an eight-track reel-to-reel in his bedroom. “Love Hangover” is whimsical and catchy, and local label Randy Records (run by Trimble’s former Uh Bones bandmate Nathan Johnson) is putting it out as a seven-inch—Charlie Reed’s debut release. On Saturday, January 6, Trimble and company celebrate the single at the Hideout with Deeper and Cafe Racer; the show costs $8 and starts at 9 PM.
