Club Of The Sons

Club of the Sons is an experimental soul band based out of New Orleans, Lousiana, started by Adam LaClave, former frontman of Christian rock band Earthsuit and Jonathan Allen, one-time bassist for electro rock act Mute Math. Founders Adam LaClave and Jonathan Allen were both members of the New Orleans-based new wave indie band Macrosick when Hurricane Katrina forced the members of the band to relocate.

Founders Adam LaClave and Jonathan Allen were both members of the New Orleans-based new wave indie band Macrosick when Hurricane Katrina forced the members of the band to relocate. With Macrosick effectively on hiatus, LaClave and Allen took the opportunity to make a departure from Macrosick's 80's sound, and embraced a combination of soul music and glam rock influences to form a sample-based, experimental genre that they term "odd soul". LaClave has also described the sound as "Bowie goes black gospel".

The band independently released a 6-track EP affectionately known as the Diamond EP co-produced with Paul Meany of Mute Math. Former [artsit]Earthsuit drummer David "Hutch" Hutchison joined in early 2006. Club Of The Sons toured intermittently throughout 2006 opening for Mute Math, Jonezetta, & The Whigs in Fall 2006. The tour marked the first time that Adam LaClave, David Hutchison, Paul Meany, and Roy Mitchell reunited since the dissolution of Earthsuit. A new release is scheduled for Spring 2007.
