Dovetail Joint
Dovetail Joint is a rock band that formed in Chicago, Illinois in 1992. The band originally featured guitar/vocalist Charles Gladfelter, guitarist Robert Byrne, bassist Jon Kooker, and drummer Joe Dapier. After independently releasing their self-titled album in 1995, the band started to garner interest locally and beyond. When their song "Level on the Inside" was featured as the first track on 'Local 101, vol. 1,' an annual compilation disc released by local alternative radio station WKQX Q101 in 1998, Columbia Records quickly signed the band and released their second album 001 in early 1999. "Level" turned out to be the band's only commercial hit, and Columbia dropped the band. Their third album, 'The Killing of Cool,' was recorded for Columbia Records, but never released.
After a 20 year hiatus, Dapier, Byrne, and Gladfelter reunited to write and record the band's fourth album, which musically picks up where 'The Killing of Cool' left off. That album, "Keep the Vultures Fed," was produced and mixed by Gladfelter and released on Bandcamp on May 20, 2024.
