Today we represent the brand new album by the phenomenal Memphis bass player Amy Lavere. She also participated in an interesting project called the 78 Project which is set around recording modern musicians by cutting directly onto a 78RPM acetate the way it was done back before the magnetic tapes were invented. The project was started by Lavinia Jones Wright and Alex Steyermark as a nod to the great American blues archivist Alan Lomax. We also check out the new tune recorded by Frank Black and the Catholics, inspired by the great SST band called Angst. Alvin brothers Dave and Phil, the founding members of the Blasters, are back together with a new album called Common Ground and it’s all about the Big Bill Broonzy old songs. Finally, we represent a piano and drum duet from Chicago, The Claudettes.
New stuff from the garage rock scene comes from Zagreb, Croatia and Australia. We have Erotic Biljan and His Heretics reunited with an amazing new single that promises to reestablish this band as the leader on the ex-Yugoslav scene. Volcanics come from Perth and Terrible Truths come from Adelaide. We also check out the new indie rockers Gold-Bears. The Auteurs was a new wave band over in London. Luke Haines who was with them is back with a solo record dedicated to the New York City. John Nemeth is another new name for us. He hails from Boise ID and belts out a sound characteristic to the black Memphis scene. Ghost come from Sweden. They are a quite an attraction over in their home land. They scored a good hit last year with a Roky Erickson cover. And finally, Ian McLagan, truly legendary keyboardist of Faces and Small Faces is back with his Bump Band over in Austin TX with the new single.
As if we didn’t have a lot of Australians in our last show, we open up with yet another band from Down Under. Straight Arrows have a great new record called Rising. That land never seems to have a shortage of great sounds. Back in America, Ty Segall has a new, very heave single and Bob Mould is in good spirit with a loud new record called Beauty and Ruin. Jenny Scheinman is also back with a new record called The Littlest Prisoner. And a special treat this time is The Chamber Strings. A band lead by Kevin Junior, who is a Cleveland native, but now lives in Chicago. He reformed the band with an all-Cleveland lineup and they had a great show in Cleveland opening for The Sadies. We check out an exclusive track recorded live that night.
