Jimmy Gnecco (of Ours) at Schubas | Live Review Posted in Audio File blog by Gavin Paul on May 18, 2011 at 1:00pm
Jimmy Gnecco (of Ours fame) has fought the good fight for years even as he's endured many of the tragedies the music business regularly bestows upon those in the singer/songwriter realm. He's seen Rick Rubin-produced records shelved, his bank account emptied and more than a few wretched deaths of loved ones. But before you rub a little violin between your fingers, know this dear unfamiliar reader—the dude's one of the most underrated talents in the biz. Quieting a bar room is no easy task. Gnecco turned Schubas into a church Monday night with a single scream.
Granted, the artist likely had something to do with the rows of chairs positioned in sermon fashion, a notorious hater of inattentivemess. And at this point in his career, he doesn't have any on-the-fence fans. Everyone at the show last night was diehard Gnecco, a meditatively hush part of a small set of believers in the "Ours" philosophy, rationalized later in the evening by Gnecco's question to the audience, "What's more loving and welcoming than 'ours'?"
For the second year in a row, Jimmy Gnecco has played at Austin's week long music festival South by Southwest (better known as SXSW) - and wouldn't you know, some videos are turning up! The first video is of Devil, a brand new song first previewed at the Maxwell's show back in December - it was fantastic to hear it again!
The title of Ours' third album has been changed to "Mercy (Dancing for the Death of an Imaginary Enemy)". It is slated for a 2008 release on American / Columbia.
Update: The official release date has been pushed back slightly to April 15.
Hi everyone. Here is the cover, and the track listing for our new record 'Mercy'. We have meticulously worked on every detail of this record to get it to where we are proud of it, and we thank you so much for your patience and support. It's been an amazing journey with all of you so far, and we're looking forward to the future.

Ours is currently shooting a promotional music video for "Live Again" and "God Only Wants You" with director Michael Maxxis in Edmonton, Alberta. This is not necessarily the first single but rather a song that was chosen because Maxxis felt strongly about the lyrics and concept behind the song. Filming will take place in mid-September.
Maxxis also recently shot a series of still photographs with the band in New Orleans.
