The Chambermaids at Sugar Maple
The Chambermaids began as a collaboration between Twin Cities brother-and-sister duo Neil and Martha Weir, inspired, however unconsciously, by their shared love of 1980s-era bands like Wire and Joy Division. Perhaps surprisingly, given how tightly constructed their driving, catchy post-punk sounds are, the Weirs' intuitive, instinctive collaborative approach is a hallmark of their creative process. Their new EP Down In The Berries catches the band in transition, with original drummer Colin Johnson recording part of it before leaving to concentrate on his psychedelic band Vampire Hands, replaced by a new iteration of the band with STNNNG/Private Dancer guitarist Nate Nelson and drummer Mickey Kahleck.
