Click here to view the embedded video. Ron House is obviously a fixture in Columbus rock music. Columbus emcee Zero Star is also impressed by Ron House's swag. (did the phrase Ron House's Swag make you throw up in your mouth? sorry) Anyway, I am waiting for you tube to make an interview I did with Zero Star and DJ Pos to exist. So I figured I would share this since TOP told you to look at our [...]
MP3: My Mysterious Death (Turn It Up) The more your hear about the origin of Old Columbus bands, the more you realize how many of them formed accidentally, the result of spontaneity and serendipity. Thomas Jefferson Slave Apartments was one such band. On a night about 20 years ago, soon after the dissolution of Ron House's previous band, Great Plains , a band playing Stache's ended early. The story could have ended right there. Everyone at the bar [...]
Fronted by Ron House, formerly of Ego Trip and Thomas Jefferson Slave Apartments, heavy psych band Psandwich recently released their debut LP on Columbus Discount Records . The album, "Northern Psych", is limited to 500 copies, with the first 100 on red vinyl. You can pick it up from the label for $16. Listen to the track "We Remystify" below!
MP3: We Remystify Last week, CDR released Northren Psych , the long-awaited debut full-length from the mighty Psandwich . This local supergroup, which originally formed for an installment of the Rock Potluck , has handcrafted a fine album worthy of their oft-incendiary live shows. To celebrate the release, the band is holding an Album Release Party at Ace of Cups tonight, which will open with unannounced secret bands. To prepare you for the show and album, check out the premiere of a new MP3 from Northren [...]
Screaming Urge High Street 1980 MP3:Screaming Urge- Hitlers In Brazil MP3:Screaming Urge-Skitzo Brain MP3:Screaming Urge-Killa Poe Lease(Kill the Police) I wrote an article on Screaming Urge in this weeks the Other Paper a pioneering punk band from here in Columbus that had their last performance on Saturday. Screaming Urge had a lot of interesting things to say, so I figured I would post the interview with Columbus legends on Donewaiting. The three above [...]
Tomorrow night (Friday, 7/1) Times New Viking will play its last Columbus show of the year, which bums me out. But, a roast hosted by none other than Ron House (Great Plains, Thomas Jefferson Slave Apartments) should add some levity to the evening. House's band, Psandwich , will also play (full-length coming soon), as will kindred spirits Mike Rep and Tommy Jay . If I didn't have to travel out of town, there is no way I'd miss this. Details, tickets here .
One lies to his bosses and gets patted on his head The other wants to bargain and is told to drop dead Fire Tressel, not teachers Save the children, not Judas MP3: Ron House & Moviola - Fire Tressel, Not Teachers Ron House , opinionated as ever, wrote this one and recorded it with Moviola around one mic at Used Kids on Tuesday night. Also available at Moviola's bandcamp page , along with some other great freebies the band has [...]
It's that time of year again, when grilling meat, arm wrestling, and indie rock somehow end up together in awkward sentences (like this one). This weekend is the seventh annual Columbus Discount Records BBQ, where the local label shares the wealth and gives you a wealth of local/international talent to gaze upon for as free as possible. This year's version of the tradition entails two star-studded rock shows (Friday night at The Summit and Saturday night at Carabar) as well as a multi-faceted get-together Saturday afternoon at CDR HQ (corner of Oak and Parsons, just up [...]
Editor's note: "Overlooked in Ohio" is a feature in which we ask an Ohio-based artist/music enthusiast to tell us about a band or bands from the state of Ohio (past or present) that deserve some love. Our sixth installment comes courtesy of Nick Schuld - resurrecter of Datapanik , player in Obviouslies and unearther of various Ohio treasures over at Minimum Tillage Farming . Nick has been here too long and is now insane. Photos by Jay Brown; copyright 2010 jfotoman [...]
there was a period of time when i bought any record that was somehow related to guided by voices, no matter how loosely related. honestly, a lot of these purchases were very suspect, but thats the price you pay for being mildly obsessed. one record that was an absolute find, and i do mean record cause i couldnt find it on cd, is thomas jefferson slave apartments' bait and switch . i cant remember how the thomas jefferson slave apartments were tied to gbv, other than both being from ohio. although in later years i believe lead slave ron [...]
Editor's note: "Overlooked in Ohio" is a feature in which we ask an Ohio-based artist/music enthusiast to tell us about a band or bands from the state of Ohio (past or present) that deserve some love. Our fourth installment comes courtesy of Ron House , a guy you likely already know from Great Plains , Thomas Jefferson Slave Apartments and/or his most recent band, Sandwich (currently recording). Or from his days at Used Kids . Read on for his reflections on Kevyn and the Kasualties. [...]
MP3 : Moses Carryout (Ron House) - 20 or 30 People They're always there/They're everywhere I go They're the 20 or 30 people that I know We go to talk/We go to dance And when we get real bored we listen to the band We argue some/We never fight We wonder if we're drunk or something's happening tonight This song has been implanting itself in my morning bedhead ever since I started listening to Blind Boy in the Backseat , the Ron House [...]
A few weeks ago we celebrated the 4th annual Daymon Day here in Columbus. We had a basketball tourney, tribute mural, emcee battle, parade and a rowdy dance party. We got our Rucker park on and then brought it into the streets. For those that aren't familar with Daymon Day but like things perhaps reading this article before or after viewing the following videos and pictures might give you some background info. Click here to view the embedded video. This video shoot by A.J.(i think) shows the parade. [...]
My sincerest apologies to Mr. Paul Nini. Here it is post-Labor Day and I've spent the Summer sitting on a stack of releases from his modest and criminally overlooked Old 3C Records roster. To clarify, these albums haven't sat, collecting dust, going unheard - quite the contrary. His uniform and economically packaged offerings have opened up a whole new world of Columbus music and beyond. While most barstool historians of High Street's heyday are content to merely talk about how they're doing this and that to preserve a vibrant legacy (resurrecting defunct labels, uploading warped VHS recordings to [...]
