The New Siberians

welcome to the blinding whiteness of the tundra

About Me

Ted Pappadopoulos, member of Go To Blazes(Glitterhouse/East Side Digital) and Brendan Devitt, a founding member of Burlington’s own legendary "Ninja Custodian" join forces with drummer extraodinaire and "gad about" Simon Plumpton to make up The New Siberians.
Fresh off recording sessions with producer Tom Dube (Richard Thompson, Juliana Hatfield, Marc Cohn) at Hi N Dry in Cambridge MA (Mark Sandman) and One Camp Street/Fort Apache (Pixies, Dinosaur Jr, Lemonheads) Cambridge MA, the New Siberians are playing out in preparation to release a 15 song all original CD.
Rangy rock riffs spiced by saxophones provided by Dana Colley (Morphine, TWINEMEN), subtle acoustic songs peddled by the mandolin of Jimmy Ryan (Mark Spencer, Blood Oranges) help to define a broad spectrum of influence and accomplishment. The New Siberians live show expands and contracts from 3 members to five to include rhodes piano, sometimes banjo, sometimes two guitar straight rock attack, sometimes all at once.
Dancing and drinking is required.

If The New Siberians are any proof, Burlington still boasts a spectacular local music scene. These gorgeous songs have rekindled my erstwhile desire to plug into the sonic emissions from that pretty college town on the side of a hill...When they’re rocking, The New Siberians flaunt a definite Pixies influence, especially on the grittier ’1965’ and ’In The Garden,’ which could have found a place beside ’Where Is My Mind’ from Surfer Rosa. :

Casey Rea - SEVEN DAYS

Big hooks, strong melodies and ragged guitars.....Hipsters who can’t accept that well-ordered guitar rock has a place in music might call this record “Dad-rock.” The New Siberians definitely show their age, but they do so earnestly and unapologetically, which gives their music an authenticity not found in cool-kid bands. :

Ze claimen gewone jongens te zijn met normale levensgewoonten die geloven dat de muziek een hulp kan zijn om verwarde geesten en gebroken harten een hart onder de riem te steken. Wie zijn wij om hen tegen te spreken? Het leven bestaat nu éénmaal uit verdriet en vreugde, waarbij wat realiteitszin en een lekkere frisse pint al heel wat ter verbetering kan bijdragen. :
