Well Rome’s premier killed by death purveyors, TAXI, have came a long way since Dead Beat released their debut LP/CD ‘Like A Dog’ in February of 2003. This debut recieved some phenomenal press from a band that, to many, seemed to have literaly come out of nowhere. Pretty much unknow when that debut was released, their international fan base has grown immensely in the past year and a half. Read the rest of this entry »

The Boss Martians’ style of ’60s-influenced guitar pop was debuted in 1995 upon the release of their first self-titled full-length on Dionysus Records. Accompanied by an influence of Paul Revere & the Raiders, the Beach Boys, the Trashmen and the Astronauts, the Seattle natives also had the chance to scatter several singles throughout the years on various different labels before their second album, 13 Evil Tales, came out in 1996. But it wasn’t until 1998 that the Boss Martians had the chance to branch outside of America with a tour of Europe that summer. After 2000’s Move, they signed with MuSick Recordings, releasing 2002’s Making the Rounds and 2004’s The Set-Up. “I Am Your Radio,” from the latter album, won the listener-driven “Coolest Song of the Year” contest on Little Steven’s Underground Garage radio program.

LAS VEGAS WEEKLY
Reminiscent of Elvis Costello’s Angry Young Man period, meaning the good Elvis Costello, this group kicks ass, from “I Am Your Radio” (voted Coolest Song of 2003 by Little Steven’s Underground Garage) to the disc’s last, titular track. Start listening now and hold bragging rights over your friends for years to come. (Martin Stein) Read the rest of this entry »

The Devastations formed in Melbourne, Australia in September 2002. After just 4 gigs they joined UK band, Tindersticks, on their Australian tour, and their reputation further enhanced with support from legendary Birthday Party guitarist, Rowland S. Howard, who was moved to write an insightful and lengthy article on the band in the Australian press, as well as join them from time to time onstage. Read the rest of this entry »

Interview with Rowland S. Howard

The DEVASTATIONS are: the sound of a meteor cooling in the cut grass; the clash of a terrible beauty with the customary; Tom Carlyon, Hugo Cran, Conrad Standish.
This is what happened. Read the rest of this entry »

“Look man, I’m not a liberator, I am an entertainer!”

Joss Hutton, Philippe Korpar-Migrenne and Ski Williams chewed the “Bacon Fat” with one of R&B’s wildest, Andre “Mr Rhythm” Willliams. Over the past forty years, Bessamer, Alabama-born Andre Williams has written, recorded and produced some of the most ribald (”Humpin’, Bumpin’ & Thumpin’”), infectious (”Rib Tips”) and downright bizarre (”Please Pass The Biscuits”) R&B ever committed to vinyl. Read the rest of this entry »

Andre Williams doesn’t mince words. He doesn’t have time for that. He’s seen a promising R&B career go up in smoke, he’s fallen victim to drug addiction, and he’s spent more time hustling his way out of the gutter than he’d care to remember. So when this resuscitated soul man sings, he sings of his urges, in the most blatant terms. Read the rest of this entry »
