New 2LP is amazing. The unreleased tracks from the 'I'm Some Songs'-era are a revelation. Can't believe these were just laying around.

Looks like Graham's putting out a Shadow Ring 2xLP titled "Remains Unchanged" on Kye. Does anyone have more info on this? Track listing? Is it possible to pre-order?

Jason Lescalleet seems to be implying that it's UNRELEASED MATERIAL!!?!?

Umm, was that Cleaners boxset a RSD-only release or something? I wasn't paying much attention, thought it was a wide release. Can't find it anywhere now.

All are sold not in the box set from CT.

Oops. Thanks

Umm, what? Maybe I'll find I was on the wrong side of the equation ten years from now, but I think Lil B is the real deal:

LP1 came out of nowhere and took over my life in 09. Essential jamz before hitting the bar that summer. Can't wait for LP2.

Just picked up an Italia Mondial Classic on ebay for $500. Hadn't heard of the company before I saw John Dwyer using one in Thee Hounds of Foggy Notion DVD but I was sold on it pretty quickly.

Over the next few months I'm hoping to pick up some kind of Vox Repeat Percussion clone (I've seen a good one by North Effects), Tonebender clone, Holy Grail Reverb, a Teisco or Guyatone solid body and this thing:

Maybe I can afford it if I stop smoking two packs a day.

39 Clocks and Phantom Payn - everything I can get my hands on. I can tell I'm gonna be obsessed with Jurgen Gleue for the next month at least.

I don't know how anyone could be nonchalant about this band. LRD are my church. They make the walls between the realms seem very thin.

Upcoming Shows/Tours/Events / THE PARTY STOMPERS, FUAD & THE FEZTONES, THE VON DRATS - SEPT 18, Montreal

« on: September 14, 2010, 06:06:44 PM »

The Party Stompers

Detroit delinquents that put their own twist on the primitive, gritty sound of the Motor City bar bands of the 1958-63 era. A group built around the dual guitar attack of Jeff Meier (Rocket 455, Detroit Cobras, Compulsive Gamblers, The Shanks, Nathaniel Mayer, The Exit Eyes) and Mike Hurtt (Royal Pendletons, Nathaniel Mayer, Michael Hurtt & His Haunted Hearts).

The Party Stompers, formed in early 2008, also feature Adam Stanfel on bass and S.R. Boland on drums. They play vintage rock 'n' roll, R&B, blues, ballads, jumped-up hillbilly, cajun, swamp pop, proto-garage, and anything else they happen to like. The Party Stompers take their name from the savage 1960 single by the local group The Egyptians, "The Party Stomp" (the flip side was "Inkster Boogie," now part of the Stompers' repertoire), which captures the quintessential sound of raw, rockin' Detroit R&B as the '50s segued into the '60s.

Fuad & The Feztones

Local legends, Bobby Beaton (Fuad Ramses) & John Davis (Rich N. Ready), one half of Montreal's snotty Tyrants of Teen Trash, The Gruesomes, take you to the Valley of the Kings- The Kingsmen, that is! Serving up a slop of sleazy '60s twisters, stompin' garage-soul, raunchy horn-driven R&B, and swingin' Egyptian groove that's straight from the Pharoah's tomb... and baybee does it cook! Paying musical tribute to the likes of Booker T., Willie Mitchell, King Curtis, Freddie King, Sam the Sham, The Wailers, and every great combo that made a raw racket!

The Von Drats

Looking like extras on the Addams Family or a cartoon hot rod gang, no one has seen anything quite like the Von Drats! Their live shows are a kooky display of rowdy surf'n garage, with a sense of unpredictable humor. The lightning fast long arm of the drums, Leonard von Drat, bids you welcome and keeps everyone in stitches with his rapid fire wit. An uncontrollable wildman, Dave von Drat sets the mood with the spooky sounding Farfisa organ and spastic movements that would even leave old Uncle Fester in shock. The big brother Trevor von Drat quite easily transitions from being a calm and collected surf guitar gentlemen to a garage rock growling life of the party. The werewolf cursed DanO von Drat stares wild eyed and lays down a solid and smooth bass foundation for his savage kin to play over. The youngest brother, Steve von Drat, is a surf guitar sharp-shooter and a reverb tank riding creature that will leave you in disbelief!

DJ Frantic Tim

Frantic City Records and Boppa Do Down label whiz-bang spins fast 45's all-night!

Booked a Canadian tour for him a few weeks ago and spent a few days hanging out with Paul & co in Montreal.

We even got him a surprise show the night after his first MTL show at a smaller bar, and he still got a packed house on a few hours notice. Great sets both nights, even if his voice was a bit hoarse from the tour. Chris, Tim and Juancho make a great backing band for him.

These guys are from Ottawa and played all the Canadian dates with Paul and went to Boston, NY and Washington with him. Also awesome dudes - check em out.
