Matt Melton's birthday bash!Earthmen & Strangers
Earthmen and Strangers is a new project created by Ryan "Wong" Rousseau (Tokyo Electron, Reatards, Destruction Unit, Digital Leather, etc.)
"When The Reatards dissolved, Rousseau turned his attention to other projects, like Tokyo Electron, a straight-ahead garage-rock outfit, and he began exploring synth-punk and ambient Krautrock with projects like Digital Leather, a project he started with Shawn Foree (who has continued Digital Leather as a solo endeavor), and Destruction Unit, which started as a solo project but included Jay Reatard and Lost Sounds member Alicja Trout on the record Death to the Old Flesh. It was with these endeavors that the groundwork for Earthmen & Strangers began to form, with the concepts of trance-like rhythm and melodic composition sharing equal footing with "three-chord shit," as Rousseau puts it." - Phoenix New Times |

Lover!
"At last, Memphis pop dilettante Rich Crook has found his true calling: delicately desecrating the three-minute rule in hit songwriting, and exploding forth with an unprecedented susceptibility that still brandishes it's dimly flickering punk roots in between hot flashes. As Crook's new primary musical vehicle, Lover! exceeds all expectations from this one-time member of such projectile punk pioneers, Reatards and Lost Sounds. if you think you can handle this kind of purity, this kind of cranial-crushing pop creativity, then strap yourself to the wall and turn it up, and you might just be ready for Lover!" - Todd Killings, Victim of Time |

John Barrett's Bass Drum of Death
The Hill Country of North Mississippi is legendary, almost mythical, for the music the region has produced. We’re talking Junior Kimbrough, R.L. Burnside, The Hill Tops, Blue Mountain, North Mississippi Allstars and numerous others. But there is a new movement brewing in the hills as well. Bands such as Colour Revolt, The Black and Whites and John Barrett’s Bass Drum Of Death (JBBDD) are about to rock and we salute them.
John Barrett is a visonary, as JBBDD is a one-man-band with a huge sound. Equal parts Hasil Adkins, Junior Kimbrough, Jon Spencer and all parts John Barrett, JBBDD does thing the old fashioned way: guitar, vocals and kick drum.
The legend of JBBDD begins here: “while on the road to play a youth retreat in ann arbor, michigan with his former band JB and the Biodimple-Dumplings, john barrett’s tour hearse was attacked by a roving gypsy death squad of death. though all of his band members were disemboweled by the bloody gypsies’ wicked death hooks, jb managed to slaughter the attackers and steer the hearse off a cliff, escaping with only a black wifebeater, a single sandal, a guitar and amp, and the unholy kick drum.” |
