various side projects. Lead singer/guitarist Feinstein's other credits include playing on and co-producing Rosy Nolan's EP Footprints and Broken Branches with Tim Armstrong from Rancid, playing fiddle in Coffey Anderson's band, and appearing in Anderson's Netflix show Country Ever After. History Background (2005-2012) In 2005 guitarist/vocalist Kenny Feinstein formed the band The Water Tower Bucket Boys in Portland, Oregon with his neighbor, Josh Rabie on fiddle. They named the band after the water tower in the woods behind Feinstein's house that served as a gathering place for the local teenagers to hang out and play music. The second half of the name was inspired by the DIY washtub bass, or gutbucket, played by their first bass player. The Water Tower Bucket Boys recorded and independently released two full-length albums and two EPs, as well as one early album under the name Water Tower String Band. In 2012 the band changed their name to Water Tower. Against Me! tour and solo work (2012-2013) In November 2012 Water Tower was chosen to open for the punk band Against Me! on a tour of the Southeastern US. A year later Rabie left the band and Feinstein decided to take some time off to record a solo album. The album, entitled Loveless: Hurts to Love, was an acoustic cover of My Bloody Valentine's Loveless. Feinstein called Loveless “an obsession of mine”. He was determined to pull apart the original album layer by layer and recreate it in its entirety using mainly traditional bluegrass instruments such as acoustic guitar, mandolin, and fiddle. To do this, he enlisted the help of his friend Jeff Kazor from The Crooked Jades and engineer Bruce Kaphan, and together they created an “acoustic wall of sound” effect to emulate the distorted, dreamlike quality of the original album. Loveless: Hurts to Love was released on the label Fluff & Gravy in September 2013 to favorable reviews. Fly Around (2013-2020) Following the release of his solo album, Feinstein turned his focus back towards Water Tower. He called up some old musician friends and recruited them to join the band. The new lineup became: Peter Daggatt on guitar, Pat Norris on bass, Harry Selick, the son of director Henry Selick, on drums, and Feinstein on lead vocals, guitar, fiddle, and mandolin. Together they began work on a new album which would eventually become Fly Around. The band reached out to Don Bolles, formerly
