Native New Yorker Jeffrey Lewis is a comic book writer/artist and a musician. Jeffrey Lewis and his band tour the world, mixing folk with noise and sharing stages with the likes of Stephen Malkmus, The Mountain Goats, and more. Jeffrey has had albums on Rough Trade since 2001, his comic Fuff has been running since 2004, and he’s been featured by NPR, The History Channel, The NY Times and more.

Lewis has a new band name, too, if not necessarily a new band. Bassist Mem Pahl and drummer Brent Cole – who have been touring the world with him for the past four years as Los Bolts – are still on board. For Jeffrey, though, it is tradition to apply a new band name to each release. This time around, the group has been re-christened as The Voltage.
