Liz Harris aka Grouper kept busy through 2011 with two LPs and 123s and new projects ; by that clip I guess it's strange we've had to wait a full three weeks before she made a mark on 2012. So here it is, the long overdue dispatch from Grouper comes via this submerged and stretched cover of fellow PDX punks Dead Moon and their '89 cut " Demona ." Read More...

Dead Moon - Unknown Passage For many newcomers and younger generation enthusiasts, their first entry point to the Dead Moon universe is likely Sub Pop's great collection Echoes of the Past . This comp does a good job of introducing the band over the years but for many it also left them with the realization that these full albums were unobtainable, or at least only viably sourced through eBay. So RSTB received the news that the venerable Mississippi Records was reissuing the first three Dead Moon albums on their original vinyl [...]

One can't write about a band like Pierced Arrows without talking about age. Fred and Toody Cole throw off the mean age of a small venue like Kung Fu Necktie in Philadelphia so atypically that it illuminates not just their own, but the ages of everyone else present: the barely legals all dolled up for a Tuesday night of $4 Pabsts; the age of the bartenders who politely roll their eyes; the age of the local openers; the age of the out-of-town openers; the age of the quietly-out-of-place middle age guy perpetually at the rear end of the [...]
You've probably heard a lot about Pierced Arrows . But to truly appreciate their brand of rock 'n' roll, a history lesson in in order. Fred and Toody Cole have been married and making music together since 1967. They are responsible for one of my all-time favorite underground psychedelic singles, "You Must Be a Witch" (check out the Black Lips cover of it as well), back then they were still called The Lollipop Shoppe. A lifetime later, in 1987, the couple decided they wanted to play rock 'n' roll again, and they formed the Portland garage-cult favorite Dead [...]
I'm a germaphobe. In the morning, when trying to claim some space in a train car on the way to work, I really need to have both my hands available. Because as much as I'd like to kick back and read, it's more comfortable to just lean on what's around than have to transfer whatever gnarliness exists on handles to the book/magazine I'll eventually be reading in my CLEAN bed later that night. Here's what I listened to on the way to work. Pierced Arrows are Fred and Toody Cole, whom you may or may not [...]
Here's a show for the whole family. Scuzz rockers Pierced Arrows play Subterranean tonight. The band is led by Fred and Toody Cole, the husband-wife team that played as Dead Moon. I bet it will be loud.
PIERCED ARROWS The Entry / 8:00 pm / 18+ with TEENAGE MOODS $9.00 adv | $9.00 door
Win 2 tix to see Pierced Arrows (featuring Fred & Toody Cole of Dead Moon) at Lenny's on Sat., March 13.
Filed under: News , New Music , Exclusive It's true that punk-rock's elderly homecoming couple, Fred and Toody Cole, are soldiering on with a new project called Pierced Arrows in the wake of Dead Moon's demise. As with everything they touch going back to Fred's garage-rock classic, 'You Must Be a Witch,' Pierced Arrows rock out with all the guttural oomph of 16-year-olds in their parents' basement, despite the fact that the Coles are retirement age. Longtime fan and supporter Eddie Vedder recently composed [...]
Though punk band Dead Moon called it quits a few years back, Pierced Arrows have now risen from the ashes. In addition, the Portland-based band have announced today that they've signed with Vice Records, and their album, Descending Shadows will be out on February 2, 2010. What a great Groundhog's Day gift! The album art is to the left, and check out Viceland for a stream of "Paranoia" from the new album. We're looking forward to more information as it comes!
We miss Dead Moon, but they never really left. Fred and Toody Cole retired that band in 2006 and sure enough, up sprouted Pierced Arrows in its place months later. Word from our inbox is that the Coles, along with new drummer Kelly Halliburton, have opted to release the Arrows' sophomore set of crusty punk tunes through Vice . Indeed, the label plans to share Descending Shadows on February 2nd, an effort the trio recorded at Portland's Buzz or Howl Studios and according to the press release, "mastered to vinyl lacquer per tradition at Fred and Toody's [...]
The latest installment of LimeWire Store's Ear to the Ground series shines the spotlight on Portland. OR. Curated by the staff of Willamette Week , the 17-track compendium features some of the city's brightest up-and-coming talent, including Lifesavas , Pure Country Gold , YACHT and Starfucker . Portland, Oregon has always been a music town: It's notable for being the birthplace of the Kingsmen's "Louie, Louie" and the longtime home of famed singer-song...writer Elliott Smith. But much of the city's rich musical history involves influential bands, rather than [...]
Welcome to MEGA RIFF FRIDAY Oh children, let me explain this beauty. So let's say you want to hear some good hard rock j-a-double-emms. Because the weather is awesome and your shirt is uncomfortable anyway. But you don't really know where to go for some jams. Who can turn you on to some new stuff? ETHAN F*CKING MILLER, man, that's who. The man behind Howlin Rain and the Bay Area's own god of the heavy riff. Turns out he's got a blog called Silver Currant - it's only occasionally updated, but each [...]
For those of you black fingernail polished types listening to creepshow tunes in your dark bedroom with the windows blackened out, did you know that you would have been better off just shutting your eyes to enhance your musical experience? According to a study performed by researchers and neuroscientists at Tel Aviv University's Functional Brain Center, music is actually scarier with your eyes closed. Headed by professor and psychiatrist Tamla Hendler, the study seems to demonstrate that the voluntary shutting of one's eyes begins a reaction in the amygdala, or - and you'll dig this - the fear center of [...]
