Bela Tar Tel Aviv I n the past few years I've been working on my Bela Tar project and on several film scores. I also have a bunch of trees outside my house that need to be taken care of (pecans, oranges..), so I've been doing that. Last thing I did was a soundtrack for a Zambian film, along with Mark Cunningham, a great trumpet & bass player from Barcelona, and now I'm writing again for a new Bela Tar album. [...]

As fiercely as I've tried to stay ahead of the indie-rock curve over the years, in truth I owe a lot of my innovations to one man: Zach Hill. He, after all, through the Masculine Drugs/Destroying Yourself is Too Accessible CD-and-book combo (which sold out long ago and is basically a forgotten relic these days), revealed [...]
ZACH HILL Sacramento, California Zach Hill [Portrait by Marc Kallweit] I was born and raised in Sacramento , California. I dropped out of school at age 15 and moved out alone to Nevada City, CA, and then San Francisco from there. My father and uncle were press printers so I've spent most of my adolescence in a print shop with long-haired, bearded dudes [...]

(My own copy of the Chll Pll record) Chll Pll is the combination of musical magic from Zac Nelson (Hexlove, Prints, Who's Your Favorite Son God?) and Zach Hill (Hella, Bygones, Marnie Stern, The Ladies). Aggressively Humble (released via the wonderful Porter Records ) is so fucking fantastic, i cant express that enough! Its catchy as hell, sounds nothing like anything i have heard before from either fella, but still contains all the elements that both musicians are renowned for. Incredible drumming, weird and [...]
Chll Pll - "Aggressively Humble" LP review - Porter Records Wow, wasn't sure if this one was gonna run, it's so long and controversial. If not controversial, it's at least a little indulgent, but that's what I do these days. Nothin' to get hung about, that's for sure. So I like the latest Zach Hill [...]

In decembrie, imi este dat sa anunt ca propunere pentru Romania, la Music Alliance Pact, pe Byron, proiectul solo al lui Dan Byron, transformat intr-o veritabila formatie de rock alternativ, crescuta pe filon progresiv. Nu sunt singurul care crede ca Byron este cea mai buna voce a rockului romanesc...asta dupa ce si-a dovedit calitatile in Kumm sau in Urma. Dupa 3 albume Byron (doua pe bune si un acustic) pot spune acelasi lucru si mai mult: omul chiar stie sa compuna si sa croseteze muzical. Si a strans pe langa el muzicieni care nu sunt doar simpli mercenari. In cel [...]

Última edición del Music Alliance Pact del 2009, este cierre de año viene increíble, al presentar una canción que pertenece a posiblemente el mejor disco de rock nacional del año, me refiero a Inside The Corporation de El Hombre Misterioso nominado al Premio Luces del Comercio como Mejor Disco de Rock junto a otros discos de bandas igual de grandes que ya pasaron por aquí como los Plug-Plug o Los Protones . Inside The Corporation se presenta más sólido que Pez raro, su primer trabajo, el tono político, historias [...]
