Gossip -- August 2001
Paul and Dave from BetterLooking
Records have been busy boys and have set their fall release schedule,
which if I must say looks absolutely dynomite:
September 4th Reubens Accomplice will release
their debut full-length "I Blame The Scenery" CD / LP.
Straight out of Arizona, Reubens Accomplice deliver their
debut full-length which finds its sound somewhere between the twang
of Calexico or Wilco and the indie rock anthems of
Archers of Loaf and Pavement.
Catch Reuben's Accomplice on tour with Jimmy Eat World
in September.
September 18th brings Boilermakers long
anticipated "Leucadia" CD.
One of the most inspirational bands to come from San Diego,
Boilermaker have returned with this collection of 17 songs
five
songs hand picked from their first three out of print releases
plus
two new songs as a taste of what's to come.
October 16th the western world meets Ides of Space
with their release of "There Are No New Clouds.
Lush, dreamy guitar rock from Australia. Imagine the
music members of Seam and Ride would be listening
to as they were driving past Disneyland at 4:20AM with fireworks
filling the sky. Yep...Ides of Space is that good.
October 30th we are treated to "Songs For Cassavetes:
An All Ages Film" Soundtrack CD. The soundtrack features Sleater-Kinney,
The Make-Up, Unwound, Further, PeeChees,
Bratmobile, Crayon
and other favorites!
Keep an eye peeled for the Album Leaf / Bright Eyes
collaboration to be released on 7" in Jan 2002!!
Baltimores premiere
posi-core rockers, The Chase, just completed a short summer
tour and are getting ready to demo out a new seven inch.
No word as to whether this will be released on Submit Records,
who released their debut CD.
Though I heard that Jimmy
Eat World would be the openers for the next Weezer tour,
word on the streets is that Rivers got a crap-load of money to have
Floridas hard-rockers Cold join them instead
for shows from September 6 through September 29
Rachel Hayden, daughter on
jazz great Charlie Hayden and bass player of That Dog?, has
been joining Jimmy Eat World to provide back up during performances
in Los Angeles. Word
is that Hayden, who is featured on the new LP Bleed American,
could have used some polishing.
Rachel is the sister of Petra Hayden (who co-wrote much of
Ben Lees Breathing Tornadoes.
The Mooney
Suzuki just got back from Detroit, where they had been shacked
up laying down their next record at Ghetto Recordings with Jim "Diamond
Jim" Diamond. In the meantime, expect a new Mooney
Suzuki 7" single on Estrus Records soon!
A
reliable source recently revealed that a post Armstrong's Secret
Nine (the guitarist)/The New Terror Class
(Dave, in particular) band is brewing in Portland.
Is it the reincarnation of Suite Cheetah?
Who knows? Regardless this will definitely be some of the
craziest shit anyones laid ears on since AS9 was shattering
windows with their terrifying post-rock in the mid-nineties.
80s pioneers New Order's
newest record is out and receiving steady rotation on M2.
I heard that the Smashing Pumpkins Billy Corgan
is somehow involved, and hes been making appearances with
them he played with them recently.
Troubleman Unlimited has many highly anticipated releases on the
horizon. October/November brings the debut The Lack CD (the
packaging is supposed to be incredible). January/February brings
Orchid side project PANTHERS
and their "Are You Down" LP/CD.
The Party Of Helicopters is in the studio recording for a
new Troubleman release. The release will be a double CD. One CD
will be all new stuff and the other will be the "Two Years
on the Tundra" 12" on Progeria. Song
Of Zarathustra is also recording for a new Troubleman release
as well, most likely a 12"/CD type thing.
This is gonna be a HOT, HOT follow-up to the Birth
of Tragedy album, I just know it
