Sweetwater Music Hall, a new venue for which Bob Weir is a partner, had its official opening last night in the Bay Area's Mill Valley. The same Ratdog ensemble that performed at TRI Studios on Wednesday were on hand at Sweetwater for two more sets. Bay Area residents Sammy Hagar (Van Halen) and Jerry Harrison (Talking Heads) both sat in with Ratdog at different points during the show.

Goldstatus hat das zweite Solo-Album des ehemaligen Talking Heads Jerry Harrison zwar nie erreicht und so richtig berauschen will es mich auch nicht. Dennoch steht die Platte ganz im Zeichen des Goldfiebers, zumindest äusserlich. Jerry Harrisons zweiter Alleingang "Casual Gods" ist 1988 erschienen, im selben Jahr wie das letzte Album der Talking Heads . Der Keyboarder und Gitarrist der New Wave Pioniere, der seit dem Ende der Band als Produzent seine Brötchen verdient, bringt es mit "Rev It Up" sogar zum Radiohit. "Casual Gods" ist solide und dennoch weit vom Status "solid gold" [...]

Os Talking Heads mantiveram ao longo da sua carreira uma tradição de antagonismo, no que diz respeito às capas dos álbuns, com a sua editora. A banda, cujos membros iniciais estudavam na Rhode Island School of Design, tinham ideias precisas sobre o que queriam no grafismo das suas capas, e normalmente, o departamento gráfico da editora não conseguia realizar. Para a criação da capa do LP Fear of Music, de 1979, os Talking Heads, Jerry Harrison, que era guitarrista da banda, queria utilizar vinil preto, mas o material não poderia ser demasiado fino para não correr o risco de se [...]

Breakout band Bamboo Shoots on tour now!

Ever wish you could out with a dream team of your favorite musicians? Well, for our friend Joe Hendel, that dream recently became a reality when he was asked to join NYC underground psych-rock supergroup Gods & Monsters . The band, led by guitarist and songwriter Gary Lucas, features Hendel on trombone and keyboards, alongside bassist Ernie Brooks ( Modern Lovers ), drummer Billy Ficca ( Television ), and sax man Jason Candler ( Hungry March Band ). Lucas, of course, is best known for his guitar work and songwriting with late-era Captain Beefheart [...]

By now, Brian Eno and David Byrne fans surely have heard the pair's first collaborative album in 27 years, Everything That Happens Will Happen Today, does not mark a return to the polyrhythmic, funk-rock experiments of I Zimbra, Remain in Light and My Life in the Bush of Ghosts. For those disappointed by this fact, I dust off the mostly unloved first solo disc from Talking Heads keyboardist/guitarist Jerry Harrison, recorded less than a year after the release of Remain In Light and featuring most of that landmark record's supplementary musicians. Harrison titled it The Red and the Black; it [...]
