Simon Dawes Band
Album Biography
Simon Dawes is a band… named after no one. Though they’re mostly just creaking into being twenty-one (bassist Wylie Gelber is barely 18), you could play their new record Carnivore for anyone and tell the most insane lies about it: reissue of some lost rock artifact, unknown bootleg side project containing a member of Traffic, Pavement and The Kinks – and they would all be believed. The young men in Simon Dawes are scholars and hard workers, taking a musicologists rock diet and making it alive in relevant in ways it hasn’t been for millions of years.Guitarist Blake Mills and singer/guitarist Taylor Goldsmith are a viciously precocious songwriting combo.
Simon is Blake’s middle name.
The sound track “Execution Song” from Simon Dawes album “Carnivore”( released in 2006) composed by Blake and Taylor appears on a new Western movie being completed this summer entitled “Four Winds”
Here is the movie trailer for you Western fans.

Congrats, Blake.lwj
yes! a friend of mine from highschoool made the film. he’s been working on it for years and had the idea to use the song early on. happy to see it come to!
simon dawes was a band i was in thru highschool. pretty typical adolescent drill; lots of experimenting, coming up through the paces, thinking everything is more important than it is. that explains the earnestness of “Execution Song”, as it goes.
good find lwj
