The recently recorded cd from Atlanta band Lonesome is now up in it's entirety at myspace. Recorded back in March at Seizures Palace in Brooklyn with the awesome Jason LaFarge.
Give it a listen in it's entirety. Hopefully a physical copy will be available soon.

Veil of Thorns

This is a FREE download before the physical release on Inner-X Musick.

Taken from Because God Told Me to Do It:
"Inner-X-Musick is proud to announce it's first release by Veil Of Thorns. And because I run this blog - and because P. Emerson Williams is forward thinking artist - and because we both agree in the importance of the free flow of musick - and because the musick itself demanded it... You (the reader) reap the benefit.

"NECROFUTURIST" by Veil Of Thorns is the second non /SLEEPCHAMBER release on the newly revamped Inner-X-Musick, the first being the outstanding "Medical Report" by Grammal Seizure. However, "NECROFUTURIST" is the first release that is being offered as a FREE DOWNLOAD before the physical release becomes available."

Anchor Brain

Just got word from my buddies up in Providence RI about a great new record label. Anchor Brain, great name considering the whaling and fishing history in this area. Seems like a labor of love between Arab on Radar guys and Six Finger Satellite. Would love to find out who is actually behind this great idea.
Essentially they will NOT release cd's. Everything will be digital downloads and artwork which will be mailed. Here is a description from their mouth,

"Rather than sit back and watch the rapid unraveling of a once exciting and thriving music industry, Anchor Brain has decided to take back the helm and steer things into a new direction…FORWARD!

What is ANCHOR BRAIN? It is a new record label whose goal is to utilize fresh marketing ideas to bring international attention to the many amazing and unique bands originating in Providence, R.I. Plans include replacing obsolete Compact Discs with limited-edition silkscreened posters that come complete with a download code for the record. The label will also release limited-edition silk screened LP’s, subscription-only unreleased tracks and will have worldwide digital distribution.

Through these ideas Anchor Brain hopes to curb the rampant downloading theft of independent music and reaffirm the respect that listeners once had for the blood sweat and tears that went into making records.

The first three bands to be signed by the label are The Chinese Stars, Six Finger Satellite, and Sensitive Hearts. The label will unleash these three records in October of 2009. So beware…"

Sounds great doesn't it! Especially with the amount of Providence bands that I already like I am hoping this will help keep them around and expose others to their creativity.

Right now they are offering up tasty mp3s from the upcoming releases.

Rabbit Face - Chinese Stars
Wilson P - Six Finger Satellite
Scratchy - Sensitive Hearts

Support this label I have a feeling they will release some great stuff.

Director Reel

Just came across this video recently. Years ago Pineal Ventana did some music for Chad Rullman's short film "Kotoran Jiwa." The video below is a Director Reel from Chad posted on YouTube with clips from some of his work which includes videos of Mastodon and Neurosis. The backing music on the video is from Pineal Ventana.

Beme Seed

Just came across this video on youtube of a great band that my friend Kathleen was part of. Beme Seed was the name and making great psyched out music was their game. From the late 80's this video is.

This is from their myspace page:
"beme seed lived and breathed their music for a short time here on earth....as the singer, i loved being in the practice room and playing all the time...each musician brought so much to the session...it was incredibly organic. the guitarist michael, eric the bassist and kenny the drummer had awesome ways of relating through their instruments. i loved singing with them...
two main visiting players, jason young and bob barrett left their significant impressions as well.
good fortunes never seem to cease when you invite sonic truth into the room...
looking back, it seems such a luxury to have been able to spend so much time playing music so much. we practiced much more than we played out. i always wished we could have people come to our practice space to hear us because the sound was so perfect..."

Hallux Live @ Union Pool

Just in time from the last post ... Here is a recent video of Hallux playing at Union Pool May 27 2009. Brooklyn
Presented by Pendu Org Video Shot by Todd Pendu

Hallux : Brooklyn Via Atlanta

Hallux from NYC/Brooklyn consists of 3 Atlanta transplants that made a mark on the Atlanta local music scene back in the 90's. (Jake Klotz is the vocalist for Hallux, not from the ATL) Hallux is dirdge metal, sluggish, heavy drop C? tuning sort of stuff.


Andrew Barker on guitar. He still plays with Atlanta Jazz greats the "Gold Sparkle Band." They were one of my favorites acts back in Atlanta during the 90's and still going strong in NYC. (Charles Waters is still involved). They relocated to NYC. Andrew was also in another GREAT Atlanta Band called "Melts."
Myspace for more projects from Andrew.

Jason LaFarge:Photo by Darcie

Jason LaFarge was a band member and good friend of mine in Pineal Ventana. He moved to NYC and started his own recording studio in Brooklyn. Seizures Palace is "Home of the Gowanus Sound." He has worked with names such as Akron Family, Michael Gira and Devendra Banhart. (many others) Jason is a busy guy and has a few projects going including Hallux and Blue Prostitutes.

Hans Chew played in numerous Atlanta bands and drums in Hallux. Funny how all these guys ended up playing metal in NYC! I always knew him as a drummer round these parts but his piano and keys playing is out of this world! He also plays in a NYC band The Helix which is the backup band for Dave Shuford. (another Atlanta transplant)under the name D Charles Speer.
