Website: HERE'S WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW:
* The Baskervilles are based in Harlem.
* The Baskervilles self-titled debut came out in 2004 and the Midnight EP came out in 2005 on NYC’s Secret Crush Records.
* In 2004, Baskerville Rob Keith organized a benefit for Dan Treacy and the Television Personalities. Dan used the money raised at the benefit to re-launch the TVPs. The Television Personalities recorded new tracks and got a deal with Domino Records as a result.
* The Baskervilles headlined the San Francisco Popfest in 2005 and the New York Popfest in 2007.
* In 2002, the Baskervilles were flown to Zurich, Switzerland by the Migros Museum to play a concert in connection with an exhibition called St. Petrischnee: 60s/70s psychedelic and transgender art. The exhibition included work by Yayoi Kusama, Theo Altenberg and a film show curated by Mark Webber of Pulp.
* The title of the Baskervilles album, "Twilight," is significant. Many songs are reflective, dealing with idealization of the past (It’s A Red Fade That Leaves In A Warm Way, Staying There For A While), being on the outside looking in (Have You Seen Them?), leaving innocence (Everybody Looks Not Everybody Finds) and facing potentially unhappy endings (A Little More Time, Where Did My Summer Go?). The relentless momentum of the music and melodies honey up the bitter pills.
* The Baskervilles once, accidentally, played a swingers party.
* The current Baskervilles album, "Twilight," was pre-released as a 14-song free download series of singles on Baskervilles.net. The site was designed as a musical and visual art exhibition, featuring a series of sleeves created by important contemporary visual artists, including Wilhelm Sasnal, Ellen Berkenblit, Lothar Hempel and Andrew Guenther.
* Baskervilles singer Rob Keith is related to actress Reese Witherspoon.
