"?What?s so different ?bout him?? One might ask. Well for starters, he uses his voice like Derek Bailey uses his guitar, his guitar like Joan La Barbara uses her voice, pairs up w/ a drummer who handles his kit like the bloke from the Monks, had he just nearly drowned in a pool of bourbon but was fished out w/ a copy of Detailed Twang as life raft (that?d be Leighton Craig, notably of Primitive Motion, The Deadnotes and Lost Domain, long running Aus. outfit in which guitarist/vocalist Simon Ellaby also did time), and in tandem they belt ?em out with all the restraint of The New Creation (Rocket Ship for My Lord, indeed).

"The de-railed Seeds cover opening Side B lends some credence to the notion that, as much as Hollywood Autopsy were an Art Punk concern (and one of considerable menace and aplomb) they also drank from the same trough of nocturnal Proto-Punk pessimism as Vertical Slit and the like."

New Releases For Sale/Distro Updates / Simon Finn - Pass the Distance Reissue LP on Little Big Chief LBCR-011

« on: February 01, 2014, 10:43:06 AM »

PRESALE.  Will ship the week of the 17th!

Officially Licensed Reissue.
First State Side Pressing of 500.
Liner Notes by John Olson.

If'n you ain't beelined to that "Add to Cart" button already, allow me to lube it up for ya. Recorded in Chalk Farm Studios in London by Vic Keary for his Mushroom imprint (also home to Chillum and Second Hand), Pass the Distance sees landless folkie Simon Finn chase, tumble down and ultimately ravage his beasties and neuroses in a myriad of gripping and frequently terrifying ways. Callin' it acid folk or psych folk or freaked out Xtian primal scream just ain't gonna do the business. Finn ain't finna get buttoned in. Though you can hear the stoned lilt of contempo bonnet-wearers like Donovan on "The Courtyard," the lyrics come off more like Jerry Moore on a Leonard Cohen bender. Things do get pastoral, too, but Finn's spokes are so clotted with mud and hay, he winds up collapsin' and gaspin' down a dry well ("What A Day"). But just when ya think ya boy is outta breath, on comes the tottering monolith that is "Jerusalem," in which Finn croaks til hoarse and foamin'  about the state of contemporary believers. A swollen organ drone keens like an Irish wake in the background. Finn sounds like he's playin' guitar with those gauntlets people use to handle razor wire. The percussion struggles to escape in one piece. Of course, all the religious horse hockey is really just a red herring for the paralyzing anger and alienation consuming dude, but if'n you's a sturdy enough chap to have hung thru the first side, you musta figgered that out.

Side B calms it down a touch but the wonders still abound. Leads smother themselves, beauty is lost, folks get betrayed, menacing jokes are cracked. I spose I oughta emphasize the word "cracked" huh? Ya get the notion Finn is on a tough journey, but it's almost better just to wonder what great personal wilderness landed him on the road in the first place. First time and long-overdue Stateside pressing. File awkwardly between Leonard Cohen's Songs from A Room and Kenneth Higney. Seems like Finn could use some company. -Sebastian Morris-White, Buffet of Loathsome

New Releases For Sale/Distro Updates / Pete and Royce - Suffering of Tomorrow LP reissue (LBC Records)

« on: August 20, 2013, 04:12:01 PM »

A few of you might dig this.  Ready to roll by 9/8. 

http://littlebigchief.bigcartel.com/product/pete-and-royce-suffering-of-tomorrow-lp-lbcr010

New to the catelogue is the first archival reissue from LBC. It's a little left field from what I've done in the past, but I'm here to expand thine ears mon friere. With out further adue, I present the whacked out private press reboot of Pete and Royce "Suffering of Tomorrow." I enlisted John Olson of Wolf Eyes to spill a few words about the release. I blame the Ameritapes/Hanson Records Yahoo group circa 2002-04 for this infatuation of mine. Clips are below!

Here is what John has got to say.....

"Ah I remember it well: After a slurry of then-common Rubber O Cement Detroit jammers around the end of the 90's= It was post gig time 2am and the crew was slow moving/ smoke headed and the always pleasant Grux (Rusty) was digging thru the (then slender) Zone Hut lp stacks, mumbling under his breath about some kinda displeasure: The hard low tech hard jamming SHYLOCK s/t was spinning wildly away on the deck- and Grux pulls his cardboard google suit away from his mug and grunts "Progressive rock...nothing but...I HATE IT..." Funny coming from a dude who always called me MONGO to be shocked by the stack of INTELLIGENT rock: but not surprising to get some prime SF street dumpster digging GRIME back at my grill from the PHD of Goofery.... It was that moment I realized "YES" - finally some jammage that not even the JAMMERS like...FREEDOM. I mean prog rock is like the almighy REGGAE to some: those you cant fly on the plane are gonna jam up & grind the engines to a hater-hault: ALL DAY. PROG: Its outsider-outsider music but with CHOPS and CONCEPTS. Anyone can sound like BYRDS but fuck find me a unit FAST that sounds like anyone from the Killer Dutch camp of Cargo, Windy Corner, Cliffhanger, Ahora Mazda, or the grim brillance of the entire Xhol Carvan outputs or the stark and ragged downer Gravestone lp. Even the well knowns: The Nice, Finch, Colosseum, any Vertigo Jammers: yes those have "the aura" to alienate & "fantasy-ize" the internal of your brain-existence....- Ever read Edgar Allan Poe WHILE "Forbidden Planet" is stroking your globes and massaging the electrics in your nug jelly on a long night ALONE and then fell asleep only to dream of HUXLEY? Ever wish Jazz was more.....makeup friendly wi/ dragons with a slight flirt of GLAM? Can you be a loner and draw Dragons? Did you spend your high school years with one thumb in "Maximum Rock and Roll and the other in A Crack in the Cosmic Egg"? Then playboy you are PROGRESSIVE, be proud. So what is this odd rugged looking lp here? This platter has been called the "first" private press Greek prog lp from the "late and weird" period of prog where things were getting softer and more "living room" soft-strange (re: Mexican Scene ala Iconoclasta) and nearly all the raw homemade privates were starting to sound like Jeff Libermans (amazing) "Summertime" jam off his phemon "Synergy" rec- so dont have the 1980 year by Pete and Royce fool yeah: This Greek duo with all sorts of elaborate help are throwing down a wicked and tuneful dose of Cantenbury UK Cressida-slowed downed Gracious!- styled "Steel Mill" English UK worship deal that can fit right next to your Spring reboot and NOT be filed in next to your Socrates, Poll or Blue Birds wrecks.... Organ runs the game here: there are slight flashes of the claustrophobic high end synth lurch to bring/jerk you back to the 80's but the majority of the movements are rich lavish Hammond pensive deals that recall DOM "Edge of Time" as much as they lay lazily in the thick Emerson shadow. Great songs here: In classic PROG style there is a short intro to side two then a lengthy broken up long concept track about "Death and Decay" that'll sink your boat FAST into a pool of complex arrangements and gadgetry: all well played and thought out: nothing on DERAM was this whacked out, not the World Of Oz single played on 16rpm can get this Brit-close..Even somehow with what I image to be a small budget this thing does NOT sound like the 3 Grit Basement attack of the almighty YEZDA URFA: Instead its big clean sound with strong emphasis on the song writing and plenty o'hooks/ the heralded "interplay" is kept slightly and subtle in the back rendering. The beyond amazing cover art is gonna draw/line you in but the SONGAGE is gonna keep you on a one year + lease with option to lurk for an Original. There are many reasons to own this Pete and Royce jammer: 1) its the first time its on wax and as close you are gonna get to owning a Oktohxos-label deal w/o having a child JUST to sell on the black market for loot grip and OG- 2)its way better than the follow up "Days of Destruction" - 3)you can leave the cover laying around in your hut/zone next to your old school ANTI HERO sk8 decks so anyone over will be magnetized to the area by the raw homemade brilliance and booosh and instant convo igniter happens 4) if you are new to the Progressive school this is a fine entrance point before you hooked on the real raw shit like Cobra & Spectator Records camp/ or god forbid you will take the leap into the almighty Rock Progressivo Italiano..... So anyway you shape it up having "Suffering Of Tomorrow" your greasy mitts you are already gonna started turning SOMEONE off: but the nectar of which you ween from Pete and his homey Royce will far exceed whatever SUFFERING you are under a spell from....."

Remastered by members of Pete and Royce.

Officially licensed reissue from MusicBazz.

New Releases For Sale/Distro Updates / TRUE SONS OF THUNDER - STOP AND SMELL YOUR FACE LP Little Big Chief Records

« on: July 03, 2013, 05:02:23 AM »

God damn you're gonna love this.  two weeks out.  preview track down below. distro/shops hit me up.  UK shops, contact forte for copies. AU nuts, repressed in sydney / eternal soundcheck in Brisbane.

http://littlebigchief.bigcartel.com/product/true-sons-of-thunder-stop-and-smell-your-face-lbcr-009


"Time fer some real talk. If'n the hirsute squad that pillage the junt in Conan had a band, they'd probably sound more like "Psychedelic Warlords" than the first Cathedral record, nah'mean? Well, the barlichood ablutophobes in this True Sons of Thunder act done roared over the hills in bout the same way, layin' a strip all round town thick n hot enough to stand out in the most post of apocalypses (i.e. Memphis). Still lampin' on that "Buy" button? Havin' a crusty mitt in a clutch of other ill-reputed bands in those parts (Manatees, Oblivians, Sharp Balloons, Four Johns...) mightcould give you a sense of what's in store here. Or maybe you chipmunked away their Spoonful of Seedy Dudes LP for a fortnight-and-a-half of beer sweat and pant stains but just ain't got to it? So ya mean to tell me you don't know they got solos that are to Dave Brock and Ron Asheton what Leigh Stevens was to Hendrix? You don't know about the cold-knuckled clubber behind that there kit? For shame, cuz the bedunged heaviness and aboiement that abound all over their discography are herein stretched out and slowed down juuust enough so they can boogie like motherfuckers when they wanna and maybe affix a lil proto to their punk. They've also finally put to vinyl a Duran Duran/Black Oak Arkansas medley they been kickin around for years and boy-howdy! Never did I realize how much both songs sounded like "Born to Go". THAT and other crumbs is finna get belched out ya brainz quicker than you can say "O-Mound". Gird yer bits all ya like; they're comin' for ya either way. "

New Releases For Sale/Distro Updates / Birds of Maya - Celebration LP!! Little Big Chief Records

« on: April 01, 2013, 01:21:48 PM »

Philly's finest.  3rd LP in ten years.  All sleeves are uniquely hand painted by the band.  Edition of 350.  Waiting for the tests to be approved.  Spinning one right now.  You pissants won't be disappointed.  It's probably just a couple weeks away!

"Though the game mighta changed round em, the three years since Ready to Howl ain't diminished Birds of Maya one ounce (or do they measure in...grams?). You can tell right away on Celebration, cuz it's just as stupefying to describe as every other moment they've put down. Why is that? Seems so simple! But ya get near pronouncements like "Free or The Groundhogs as seen in the busted mirror mosaic of Japanese underground psych" and a lil balloon of acid anxiety busts in yer gut. Insufficient. This ain't just about shred and dread; this is about sweat and spit and busted bottles. This is about volume--meaning both quantity AND decibels. It takes a lot for many of us to sit still for side-long live tracks, so I suggest you dethrone that ass and break some valuables when the evil busts start rollin' out like smoke from Sleep's van; it's only natural. And don't fear the "TV Eye" cover, neither, cuz it surely made me forget the last 67 beef-witted versions I'd heard. Course, there's so much snarl all over this thing, I'm surprised the mic ain't slumped in the corner, nursing an ulcer, by the end. Another fetid feather in Philly's cap. Dressed in hand-painted sleeves, it'll make all the records you file it next to cooler via osmotic paint flakes."
