15 years after releasing his first album, Jeremy DeBardi - leader of Steel Beans, a band from Everett, WA - is blowing up on social media, thanks to a video that's gone viral on Twitter.
What is Steel Beans?
Steel Beans is a multi genre group formed 15 years ago in North Everett, WA. It has been an art collective with a revolving door of of nearly 50 members, all likeminded weirdos doing not only music but visuals/projections, costumes, theatrical bits, improvisations, comedy, animation and other visual arts. Ranging from a solo act to a trio, to a 10 pc. band with horns the band covers nearly every genre but generally leans heavy into 60s rock influences. Jeremy received worldwide recognition in October of 2022 for his solo act wherein he plays Guitar, Drums and sings at the same time.
Why Steel Beans?
The video in question, for the enticingly titled Molotov Cocktail Lounge, was first released a week ago on the Steel Beans Instagram account (opens in new tab). The video was shared on TikTok, then reposted to Twitter on October 1, and nearly 400,000 likes later DeBardi has a whole new set of fans and enough financial support for his first west coast tour.
It's easy to see why. It's the kind of ferocious, lo-fi blues racket popularised by The White Stripes, but there's only one musician involved. It's the sound of the Jon Spencer Blues explosion with the look of Ron Jeremy, as a moustachioed DeBardi drums and plays guitar simultaneously - beating out a rhythm and playing guitar on his strumming hand's downstroke - while his shirt is open to the navel. It's really quite glorious.
