New New Tragedies

At the core of the New Tragedies is husband-and-wife couple Aaron and Bev Weidner. They’re joined by Jason Wright on drums, Dustin Kinsey on lead guitar and Nate Hofer on pedal steel. Aaron writes the songs and plays rhythm, Bev plays bass, and they team up on singing in a virtually constant duet manner reminiscent of Low. And like the chair-kicking couple from Duluth, the KC-based Weidners don’t have the sunniest disposish of all the kids in day care. But they aren’t the saddest, either.

More words and a free song after the jump.
