Jody Stephens, original drummer and sole surviving member of power-pop architects Big Star, is starting a new band called Those Pretty Wrongs. You can listen to the lead single, “Lucky Guy,” on SoundCloud right now.
Those Pretty Wrongs is a duo comprised of Stephens and Luther Russell of The Freewheelers; Pitchfork reports that the project started when Stephens was asked to perform Big Star songs to support screenings of the documentary Big Star: Nothing Can Hurt Me. Stephens recruited Russell to play guitar, as he himself filled in on vocals; the two began writing music together, and Those Pretty Wrongs—named after a Shakespeare sonnet—was formed.
