Lisa Prank

Hex Dispensers from Austin TX are back with the new album and so are the Parlor Snakes from Paris and New York City. Red Mass from Montreal are also back with some new tunes and so is Tall Juan from Queens. We introduce Lisa Prank from Seattle, Charlie Parr from Duluth and Mordecai Smyth from Reading, UK. Remember Satin Gum from Pittsburgh? They had a record last year that fell through the cracks, and we catch it today. Redd Kross is in our Live in Cleveland segment and we pay a special tribute to Little Feat’s Paul Barrere who passed away on October 26 this year.

John Paul KeithToday we showcase several new names at The Little Lighthouse: John Paul Keith, Eichmann Family, Sweet Apple,  The Hex Dispensers, Smith Westerns and D. Charles Speer. John Paul Keith comes from Memphis and has a band called The One Four Fives. About a year ago he put out the record called Spills And Thrills and it’s such a beautiful record, I can’t believe I missed until now. John Paul Keith’s band opened for Jack Oblivian in Cleveland and even more than that – they played the role of the Tearjerkers that night. John Paul Keith was also one of the Snake Eyes – the last band for Jim Dickinson before he passed away. Eichmann Family is another garage rock band from Zagreb – there are several very good ones over there. Sweet Apple is the new band for John Petkovic and Tim Parnin from Cobra Verde and J. Mascis and David Sweetapple form The Witch. Supergroup for the new millenium, isn’t it? Hex Dispenser are garage magicians from Austin Texas. Smith Westerns is a new band from Chicago and D Charles Speer and his Helix are from New York City – two new names that come from big cities, but sound much more provincial (which is a good thing at The Lighthouse!). And the last, but not the least, our favorites from a few years ago, Bassholes have a new LP, and it’s untitled again.
