Singer-songwriter Ernie Buck (Monkish, Uncomfortably White Brothers, Chamticks), shortly before a well-timed exit, will this Friday be dropping his new six-track Bandcamp release, There’s Enough Of You To Reach Past Pluto.  Check it out at his Bandcamp page – tomorrow.  Today you can find what he’s been up to previously.  And immediately below see what else he’s been up to in this week’s Leng Pleng feature interview.

The Leng Pleng Feature Interview

Ticks in the win column – the bowing out (for now) of the Uncomfortably White Brothers

This weekend sees the (another) last stand of a band that was truly of its time, a time that has come and now gone, at once timely and timeless, in time and out of time.  LengPleng invited the Uncomfortably White Brothers onto its balcony office for an exit interview.

LP: The last time the Uncomfortably White Brothers were featured in LengPleng was in August of 2019.

EB: Wow, heady days, eh?

GB: Wait – why has it been so long since LengPleng has given us a feature?

LP: There was some coverage of your previous farewell gig in Kampot, remember, a few months ago.  But the middle of 2019 were innocent days even for the Uncomfortably White Brothers.

EB: They were.
