<h3>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Is this thing on? Around 1993 my friends and I picked up copies of Bob’s excellent debut 7”. We were shocked and amazed to see their contact info being listed as Lilburn. We were in Lilburn and couldn’t believe that these guys were making this kind of music a few mere miles from us. I had a friend in Augusta named Bobby Padgett who wanted to start a fanzine with me. Sadly I do not have a copy of it nor do I remember what the hell it was even called. I contacted Bob’s drummer Eric about interviewing them for our new ‘zine. He gladly obliged and invited me over to watch them practice at his house and conduct the interview there. I brought my pals Billy Nation (seen in the pics!) and Andrew Croke (Decayed Jesus / Gai Jin) with me, along with my trusty tape recorder (wish I still had the recording). I snapped a few shots and asked them some standard questions. The only part I remember is Rich said that his inspirations were disco and K.C. & the Sunshine Band. We struck up an acquaintanceship and I later booked a few Ten Two Four shows with them. Enjoy!</span></h3>

This will be posted here for posterity more than anything else, but on Saturday, September 14, 2013 I will be playing a show at the EARL in Atlanta with <a href="http://beyondfailure.blogspot.com/2010/05/regicide-most-unholy-of-alliances.html">Regicide</a>, a band I played bass in from May 1996 to March 1997. Joining us will be <a href="http://beyondfailure.blogspot.com/2008/12/levelhead-cd-that-will-never-be.html">Levelhead</a> and <a href="http://beyondfailure.blogspot.com/2008/12/quadiliacha-flyers-1993-1998-2007.html">Quadiliacha</a>, so it is going to be a weird and wildly entertaining night.James Joycehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12716336694530802193noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6469040123326158640.post-49995171922845104262012-09-27T10:49:00.000-04:002012-10-02T14:58:58.781-04:00Five By Nine - Nineties ATL Hardcore Recognized<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here is the download: Five By Nine - <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?fa9p38aif8p10">Almost Complete Discography</a><br />
<br />
So here is everything I have by <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Five-By-Nine/341366055908869">Five By Nine</a>, a band from the mid-Nineties Atlanta hardcore/Somber Reptile hardcore scene. The "Discography" posted here includes the Recognize album from 1996, the 7" on Soda Jerk Records and the It's Groovy first 7". <a href="http://beyondfailure.blogspot.com/2010/04/ten-two-four-georgia-cracker-punk-rock.html">Brad Castlen</a> tells me that there are some songs missing from this collection, but this is everything I have at the moment and if I receive any more files I will add them to the list. I remember them playing on several shows I attended, but the only member of the band I know is Cade Lewis (<a href="http://beyondfailure.blogspot.com/2010/10/venosity-full-of-veins.html">Venosity</a>, <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=6&cad=rja&ved=0CEIQFjAF&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.last.fm%2Fmusic%2FMyssouri&ei=_GVkUJ-RBYnm8gTfm4DACw&usg=AFQjCNHnvSkHzTMelVgYe8wqcsWT4YMuCg&sig2=Le2vg2DkReKe_QUF7r6r8g">Myssouri</a>, <a href="http://beyondfailure.blogspot.com/2009/06/chocolate-kiss-studio-recordings.html">Chocolate Kiss</a>, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Jackson-County-Line/137264672976025">Jackson County Line</a>), who I played in a band with for two years but for some reason we never caught up on his Five By Nine days. According to him, he was the replacement bassplayer for Jason Gagnon and Nikki Kimber (also from <a href="http://beyondfailure.blogspot.com/2010/10/venosity-full-of-veins.html">Venosity</a>) was the replacement drummer for Jay Nault. So you have the Venosity rhythm section in this band, although I'm pretty sure they were not on the CD, but nonetheless the instrumentation and performances are very good for the time. The core team of Robbie Williams on guitar and Steve Dalton remained throughout the band, so hopefully they can provide some more backstory on the life and times of Five By Nine. Enjoy a slice of Atlanta HC from Marietta St. circa 1995-1997.<br />
<br />
Update: Jay Nault (original drummer) sent me the attached message, which fills in some blanks: <i>"Robbie Williams and I started playing together in high
school in a band called Third Rail and formed Five By Nine with Jason Gagnon
around 92-93. I think it was in 93-94 when we got Steve Dalton as singer.
Sometime in 96 we brought in Cade Lewis to replace Jason Gagnon on Bass. And I
left the band sometime in early 98 to follow my career.</i><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>The band was signed by OneFoot Records in 96 who released
the Recognize album. The best songs by far were recorded after Recognize, but
were never released. These 9 songs are included in the discography you posted
though. 5 of the songs I played on and the other 4 (the first 4 on the list)
were Nikki Kimber. Cade Lewis played on all 9 of the unreleased songs. You have
the majority of the songs listed, but I can name a couple you don't have. They
are Crackdown, Friends, Let Go and Blue Hat. There are more but they were from
when we first formed and I can't even remember because we stopped playing them."</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I remember the band Third Rail when I was playing in the <a href="http://beyondfailure.blogspot.com/2007/11/bastards-wasting-their-lives-midget.html">Midget Farmers</a> around that time, but we never met or played a show together as far as I can remember. So thanks to Jay for the info, and I'm glad we were able to get more of the story.</div>

This Sunday will mark the seventh year I have played <a href="http://www.facebook.com/CorndogApocolypse2012ACorndogoramaReunion">Corndogorama</a> - really an institution in Atlanta Summer festivals and I really want to thank Dave Railey for bringing it back. What is really great about Corndogorama and sets it apart from the other festivals is that it really has the feeling that one guy is behind it, who loves the experience and really does his best to make it an informal and fun experience. So many festivals out there feel so detached from the music and excitement that should be in the air at these events, more like an outdoor shopping mall with some bands playing in a tent at the end of the street. So I'm glad Dave is back, bringing the depravity and absurdity that is Corndogorama, which has always been one of the most memorable events of the Summer.<br />
<br />
I believe this year the bands will play inside the <a href="http://www.badearl.com/">EARL</a>, which I think is the best scenario since the heat and rain variables are taken out of the equation, the sound will be great, and it will be a perfect environment to enjoy both the music and insanity that surrounds this event.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://beyondfailure.blogspot.com/2008/06/corndogs-of-years-past.html">Here is an old post I did of past Corndogoramas</a>, and I'm still looking for scans of all the lineups of every year if someone can send them to me. Some bands that I have noted related to posts on this blog are of course <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/SKIN-JOBS/111278642261632">Skin Jobs</a> featuring Rick Moore of <a href="http://beyondfailure.blogspot.com/2009/06/barrel-discography-including-live-at.html">Barrel</a>, <a href="http://beyondfailure.blogspot.com/2008/07/atlanta-singles-week-31-innovation.html">Rebar</a>, <a href="http://beyondfailure.blogspot.com/2009/08/compatibility-of-dissonance-compilation.html">Galanas:Cerdd</a>, <a href="http://www.moodswingrecords.com/copa.html">Copa Vance</a>, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/homeofthewildcats">Home of the Wildcats</a>, The Wayne Williams, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/laydownmains">Lay Down Mains</a>, and several others I am forgetting, Mysourri who did include Cade Lewis from <a href="http://beyondfailure.blogspot.com/2009/06/chocolate-kiss-studio-recordings.html">Chocolate Kiss </a>on bass, but I'm not sure if he will be playing in this lineup, The Meeks Family featuring Brooks Meeks from <a href="http://www.myspace.com/theclose">The Close</a>, and of course <a href="http://nootdnoot.blogspot.com/">Noot d' Noot</a> with many connections to this blog. So in total I have played Corndogorama 4 in 1999 (with Chocolate Kiss), Corndog 5 in 2000 (with Chocolate Kiss), Corndog 6 in 2001 (with Chocolate Kiss), Corndog 12 in 2007 (with Sonn Av Krusher), Corndog 13 in 2008 (with Noot d' Noot and Sonn Av Krusher), and Corndog 14 in 2009 (with Noot d' Noot and Judi Chicago).<br />

Here is the download: <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?9qy8ra48ktip26i">The Kossabone Red - Live at WREK - March 25, 1997</a><br />
<br />
I have posted a good bit of the <a href="http://beyondfailure.blogspot.com/2008/08/start-of-new-generation-kossabone-red.html">studio output of KR in the post here</a>, but as the <a href="http://www.wrek.org/underground/">WREK Underground Recordings</a> has been broadcasting these snapshots of our Atlanta music history, I thought it would be a good idea to archive a few of them here for others to enjoy at their leisure.<br />
<br />
So we have the classic combination of Jesse Smith, Justin Snyder and Chris McNeal in its semi-original form, starting as <a href="http://beyondfailure.blogspot.com/2009/03/origins-of-mid-90s-roswell-scene.html">Ripchord</a> and then moving on to later permutations as <a href="http://beyondfailure.blogspot.com/2010/03/some-soviet-station.html">Some Soviet Station</a> and <a href="http://beyondfailure.blogspot.com/search?q=paper+lions">Paper Lions</a>, each time changing drummers but keeping the two guitar/bass unit intact. Of course Jesse continued on in <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Carbonas/135693886468350">Carbonas</a>, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Gentleman-Jesse-His-Men/243949526051">Gentleman Jesse and His Men</a>, C.O.P.S., <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Gaye-Blades-Official/119996894728381">Gaye Blades</a>, etc. and Justin/Chris teamed up with Josh Lott in <a href="http://southernshelter.com/category/teenage-meth-lab/">Teenage Meth Lab</a>, and now Chris plays in <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Vincas/135363989810447">Vincas</a> as well as some guest appearances in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maserati_(band)">Maserati</a>. All of these guys have over 15 years in this "business", so as much as they probably want to move forward and not remember what they were doing in their teenage years, it deserves admiration, and made them the musicians they are today.James Joycehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12716336694530802193noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6469040123326158640.post-63005182239326277342012-07-16T10:48:00.000-04:002012-07-17T12:02:40.604-04:00Neon Christ - Live at WREK<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here is the download: <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?9m355713f731yxg">Neon Christ Live at WREK 15-July-1985</a><br />
<br />
Thanks to <a href="http://www.chunklet.com/index.cfm">Henry</a>, as always, for transferring the master DAT and sending me over this recording for all of us to enjoy. He has been able to access the Live at WREK vaults to transfer so many amazing performances from that station, so keep checking back for more archived recordings. WREK actually does a retrospective show on Tuesday nights, which you can listen to <a href="http://www.wrek.org/underground/">here </a>for the past two weeks, as there are some real gems broadcast on a regular basis. <br />
<br />
This is the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/neonchrist">Neon Christ </a>Live at WREK session from 1985, and a comprehensive set at that. It is not the same session that produced the amazing version of Saviour that was included in <a href="http://beyondfailure.blogspot.com/2009/02/view-atlanta-compilation-1984-1990.html">The View </a>compilation, but it is a great listen with the limited 5-piece version of the band. I thought Savior was recorded on Live at WREK, but maybe it was recorded somewhere else? Can someone verify this? What more can be said about <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neon_Christ">Neon Christ</a>? They were Atlanta's first great hardcore band, kickstarting a scene in Atlanta that has had many peaks and valleys all the way to today. Any Hardcore DIY shows you have seen in Atlanta, whether at a house, bowling alley, matinee show, etc. are indebted to these guys for setting up the framework. I never was able to see them myself, as I believe it was probably 1987 when my friend played me his tape of their 7", and several years after that before I started going to local shows, but they always have a special place in my local music heart. There were several reunion shows held a few years back, one even including Greg King on Drums (<a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/GG-KING/132216303464293">GG King</a>, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Carbonas/135693886468350">Carbonas</a>, <a href="http://beyondfailure.blogspot.com/2009/01/quadiliacha-truth-can-now-be-told.html">Quadiliacha</a>, <a href="http://beyondfailure.blogspot.com/2010/05/regicide-most-unholy-of-alliances.html">Regicide</a>, etc.), which I would have loved to see, but unfortunately I was just moving back to Atlanta and out of the loop at the time.<br />
<br />
They are compiling footage for a documentary to be released soon, but as everyone knows these projects can take some time. I am also still hoping for a high quality digital discography to be released, but we will have to patiently wait - we will sell no wine before its time.<br />
<br />
Also, along those lines it has been about a year since my last post, and I'm sure this has been taken out of everyone's regular circulation of blogs to visit, but I have a huge backlog of music to post, and will do my best to keep working on it as often as possible.

After <a href="http://beyondfailure.blogspot.com/2008/04/all-about-scout.html">Scout</a> dissolved in early 1996, I remember the guitarist Erv Lockett (Scout, Motherfucking Tourettes, <a href="http://beyondfailure.blogspot.com/2009/06/crusher-destroyer-live-at-wrek.html">Crusher Destroyer</a>, Karate Bear Fighter, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/volcanism">Volcanism</a>, etc.) started doing solo guitar shows, and eventually added his previous bandmate <a href="http://www.complex.com/city-guide/2011/04/7-questions-with-scott-wishart-of-lunchbox-records-charlotte">Scott Wishart </a>on drums and calling themselves <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CBUQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.myspace.com%2F0stinat0&ei=U44lTqmdBubk0QGC8P3ZCg&usg=AFQjCNFBoV1A8UKBn-DREYTaRzpUP55J6w&sig2=BZ3y0wh0FvcRuJlmVQmUvw">Ostinato Grove</a>. Sometime after this, they added a bassplayer named Dave Knox and then they shortened the name to Ostinato. I don't think they had any official releases, but they did have this CDR floating around in the early 2000s, which is quite impressive. I always had a soft spot for Scout, but this album really swings for the fences. Kind of like taking Scout and developing their sound to another level, more focused and a tighter unit. I would really like a second guitar in there, but also it keeps things a little more coherent since Erv is such a busy player.<br />
<br />
Scott always bounced around the Clemson/Atlanta/Charlotte area, but eventually he settled in Charlotte and opened <a href="http://lunchboxrecords.blogspot.com/">Lunchbox Records</a>, so you can go bug him at work whenever you are in the area. I will see Erv every once in awhile in the Atlanta area, but I don't know what David is doing these days. There was talk that they might reform as Scout but in the Ostinato lineup, so we'll see what happens with that. I would probably drive up to Charlotte to witness that one in action.James Joycehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12716336694530802193noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6469040123326158640.post-12522644326774813352011-07-06T10:00:00.000-04:002012-07-17T11:53:24.020-04:00Moreland Audio<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-42du43fTzbs/ThMZD3EdqwI/AAAAAAAAF0A/j3zQtYsk7f8/s1600/MA1.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625867913628855042" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-42du43fTzbs/ThMZD3EdqwI/AAAAAAAAF0A/j3zQtYsk7f8/s400/MA1.jpg" style="cursor: hand; height: 400px; width: 397px;" /></a><br />

Since the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Purkinje-Shift/162037377190376">Purkinje Shift</a> has been up and at 'em as of late, playing regular shows and writing new music with the addition of master drummer Lee Corum (<a href="http://beyondfailure.blogspot.com/2010/06/chapterhall-roswells-finest-circa-1998.html">Chapterhall</a>, <a href="http://beyondfailure.blogspot.com/2009/03/origins-of-mid-90s-roswell-scene.html">TSDOSD</a>, Mock Heroic, <a href="http://beyondfailure.blogspot.com/2010/03/some-soviet-station.html">Some Soviet Station</a>, <a href="http://www.moodswingrecords.com/copa.html">Copa Vance</a>, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/homeofthewildcats">Home of the Wildcats</a>, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/laydownmains">Lay Down Mains</a>, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/goldstandardatlanta">Gold Standard</a>, etc.), so I thought the time was ripe to upload the <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/album/turbogold-r631659/review">Turbogold</a> album by Moreland Audio. You can check out my previous <a href="http://beyondfailure.blogspot.com/2010/07/purkinje-shift.html">Purkinje Shift post here</a>, as they have been creating quite a legacy for themselves, soon to be assuming their status as the "Drivin' n' Cryin' of math-rock". <br />
<br />
Gary Flom and <a href="http://bendavismusic.blogspot.com/">Ben Davis</a> love to play music together. I'm not sure exactly how they became musical BFF's, but starting with The Purkinje Shift, moving into <a href="http://www.fiftyfourfortyorfight.com/new/artisthtml/morelandaudio.html">Moreland Audio</a>, then <a href="http://bendavismusic.blogspot.com/2007/11/more-old-new-music.html">Home of the Wildcats</a>, then a gap while Gary played in <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?xv1nexntrby">The Forever War</a>, but then together again with Ben Lukens in <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=4d59dce078e59d27ab1eab3e9fa335caf2bb170bd624d863">Lumens</a>, and now reunited as PKS. But back in the year 2000, things were not so certain. I'm not sure of the exact chain of events, but Scott Robbins moved on in his life/career/geographic location and left the Gary/Ben team without a drummer. Enter Adam Overton, a guy from Ben Davis' real musicians' network (and not one of us punkers), bringing a more subtled feel compared to the stark metronomic beats provided by Scott. Additionally, Ben and Gary mixed it up by adding some baritone and lapsteel guitar work, respectively, and really stretched it out on this record. Overall, it is a more abstract and discordant band, but also more rocking and visceral. Of course they were still a fully-instrumental endeavor, as it was meant to be from ever since. They did it for 2-3 years, and then wrapped it up in2003, releasing only this album and a song on the <a href="http://bendavismusic.blogspot.com/2007/11/strange-theory.html">String Theory compilation</a>.<br />

Here is the download: <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?t336r6qiqoqk3">Coup de Grâce tape</a><br />
If you remember back before Radio Bomb became the official punk/hardcore/DIY/whatever show on <a href="http://www.wrek.org/">WREK</a>, there was Coup de Grâce, and before that was the Punk Rock Anarchy Hour, although unfortunately I don't have any recordings from that time period. Anyhow, a guy named Brad emailed me two sides of a tape he recorded off the air way back then, and I decided to post it here for nostalgic purposes. I believe this was 1993? Did Radio Bomb start officially in 1994? When did the Punk Rock Anarchy Hour end? How long did it take you to figure out what Coup de Grace meant back before the internet?<br />

Here is the download: <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?f1mowj11va405">Early Modern Witch Trials</a><br />
<br />
Before there was <a href="http://www.judichicago.com/">Judi Chicago</a>, there was <a href="http://www.myspace.com/earlymodernwitchtrials">Early Modern Witch Trials</a>. Ben Coleman and <a href="http://www.recompas.com/">Travis Thatcher</a>, the two main creative forces behind JC, channelled their love of sixties psych, seventies prog and krautrock, and some <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Monks">Monks</a> thrown in for good measure and formed EMWT. What is interesting about EMWT is the choice of instruments for the members: Travis exclusively played sax (he is known far and wide as a synth guru), Ben played bass (once again, known for electronics and guitar in Judi Chicago). They also recruited Mick Winters to play Farfisa organ (previously a bassplayer in <a href="http://www.myspace.com/blackcougartribute">Black Cougar Shock Unit</a> out of Gainesville/Atlanta), and Blake Helton on drums (his usual instrument, but normally he is a very jazz-style drummer and this is definitely a more caveman/visceral plane of existence for him). According to Travis, Ben and Mick formed the band together, then got Blake involved through a Craigslist posting or some similar resource, and then added Travis to make sax and noise only after they had been together for six to eight months. It's amazing that they found someone as like-minded and musically gifted as Blake Helton through Craigslist, quite a diamond in the rough.<br />
<br />
I am not sure where the name came from, but it always reminded me of the first album by the Fall "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_at_the_Witch_Trials">Live at the Witch Trials</a>". It does have a kind of psych-tinge to it, but also something that might be played on the <a href="http://stonehengeatlanta.blogspot.com/">Stonehenge</a> radio show. My old band <a href="http://www.myspace.com/sonofkrusher">Sonn Av Krusher </a>was supposed to play with them, but they imploded before we had a chance and instead played with Travis and Blake's other musical outlet, <a href="http://www.recompas.com/music/recompas-group/">Recompas</a>. So Travis and Ben went on to focus on Judi Chicago (recruiting me to play drums with them whenever possible) and now Ben doing his solo work as <a href="http://www.facebook.com/thepyramidkid">Kid Pyramid</a>, Blake continued on in Recompas with Travis as well as playing in many other projects, and Mick is now playing in an MC5-style rock band called <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Charges/196455196124">Charges</a>. At least EMWT recorded a full-length CD/demo, which I am including here for everyone to enjoy. Furthermore, Travis sent me a link to a live show <a href="http://recompas.com/emwt/03%20Early%20Modern%20Witch%20Trials%20at%20the%20EARL%2008.30.07.mp3">here</a>.<br />
<br />
Here is a picture of them playing at the 11:11 Teahouse (now <a href="http://saucedatlanta.com/">Sauced</a>).<br />

<br />
And a bio from their old Myspace page:<br />
<em>Early Modern Witch Trials formed in the Fall of 2006, in Atlanta, GA, to explore the sonic territory blazed by the likes of The Monks, Suicide and the bands of the American Garage Rock / Psych scene..... A more improvisational direction, drawing upon elements of the English Progressive and Space Rock Movements (Van Der Graaf Generator, Hawkwind), the Canterbury scene (Soft Machine, Gong, Caravan) and the Avant-Rock of Early 70's Europe (Faust, Amon Duul, Can, Ash Ra Tempel), emerged from extensive rehearsal sessions and the addition of new members. .... By January of 2007, the band's core sound was complete, featuring winds, strings, keys & percussion, without a six string guitar in earshot. .... The quartet made its live debut in February 2007, will continue to perform live throughout the Spring and Summer and is currently recording for releases later in the season. .. .</em><br />

Okay, it has been a long time, and I apologize for the absence. I have been in the middle of family business as well as job-finding business, but things have equilibrated for the moment and I can bring the old blog back and catch up on some of these posts. Next out of the gate is the (mostly) unreleased discography of <a href="http://www.myspace.com/machodonkeywrestler">Macho Donkey Wrestler</a>, an early-aughts Atlanta band with strong ties to the <a href="http://www.moodswingrecords.com/">Moodswing</a> crowd. In fact, the first two songs were released by Moodswing as a split 7" with the great Remuxers in 2002. The band consisted of Allan Chastain on guitar/vocals (formerly of Copa Vance), David Lane on drums and Jason Revell on guitar/vocals. All of the members would continue on with Rick Moore and Greg Murder in The Wayne Williams, David in <a href="http://www.myspace.com/laydownmains">Lay Down Mains</a>, and now in Rick's new band, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/SKIN-JOBS/111278642261632?v=info">Skinjobs</a>. There are a bunch of other connections to report, but I am an outsider to this family tree, so it will have to come from Jason or someone else. Musically, they put out some mathy, aggressive, discordant postpunk, much like the other bands mentioned here, but refined over time as a kind of subgenre of Atlanta rock. In my opinion Lay Down Mains has done it best thus far, but I need to see Skinjobs in action to get the latest from the Rick Moore camp. With this crew, it's always loud, it's always unrelenting, and it always makes you a little uncomfortable, mostly in a good way.<br />
<br />
Thanks again to Jason Revell (dictated, but not read), for helping me with the post and being patient while I sorted my life out.

<br />
<a href="http://www.last.fm/music/BOB+%28from+atlanta%29">BOB</a>, the art-rock/postpunk/whatever band from Atlanta in the 1990's was one of the great underrated gems of our time, check out my previous BOB posts <a href="http://beyondfailure.blogspot.com/2008/09/early-works-of-bob.html">here</a> and <a href="http://beyondfailure.blogspot.com/2009/06/bob-complete-live-at-wrek-session.html">here</a>. It was great that they were so prolific and provided us with so much material to digest, I'm glad that it can be available here for everyone to enjoy. I also did an email interview with their guitarist/singer Rich Hudson, and have included it here:<br />
<br />
<strong>Rich Hudson Interview (BF = me, RH = Rich Hudson)</strong><br />
RH: First, James, I enjoyed listening to your interview on the program "Following Your Passions". It's great what you've done with Beyond Failure, archiving a lot of obscure, if forgotten, Atlanta music in the 80s and 90s. It was exciting to be a part of the Atlanta scene in those pre-Internet days. There was camaraderie as well as friendly competition amongst the bands. We supported and inspired each other.<br />
<br />
<strong>BF: Bob to me was the best of the strictly “local” band from the 1990’s, in the sense that you were like a local secret that nobody outside Atlanta knew about, but should have. I believe all of your albums and singles were on local Atlanta labels, including Amy Potter’s Half Baked Records, etc. Was there ever any label interest outside of Atlanta, or out of town interest in Bob’s music in general? What kind of touring did you do as a band? Can you remember some of the more interesting bands and venues you encountered on the road? Friends made? Friends lost?</strong><br />
RH: Thank you for the complement! It really means a lot. I can say on behalf of all Bob band mates over the years, we're grateful for any interest in our music. It was a passion, at times an obsession. Any money earned, as you can imagine it wasn't much, went back into the band for recording, t-shirts, stickers.</div>
<div>
<br />
There was some label interest. One Atlanta label had offered us a yearly allowance to go out on the road. Although the money may've sounded good, it wouldn't have covered our obligations at home much less the tour van we were expected to buy with it. That was in 1994 after Complex Organism Blues came out. In 97 an indie label based in NYC took a liking to us after a gig in Providence, RI, but we never worked out a deal. Last 2 albums were on our own non-label "Bullshi'vic Rekkids". Amy Potter was great about not interfering in her bands' artistic freedom. I remember when she first saw us at the Third Street Pub (through the tunnel from Georgia Tech). She was the general manager at WREK and she liked us! That was a big deal to me. WREK was my favorite station. She was a big part of the local Atlanta scene in the 90s aside from being a genuinely warm hearted lady. </div>
<div>
<br />
We did at least 6 week-long tours up the east coast to Boston. We didn't have enough vacation time from our day jobs to go on a longer tour. It was more practical for us to play in the same cities several times to try to establish contacts and a following than to go on an extensive national tour. Eric bought a Ford Econoline van. I heard you say one of your bands drove the same thing. Fortunately, we didn't have too many break downs. It was before cell phones, so somebody had to walk to a phone booth. </div>
<div>
<br />
Early Bob was Eric Ingram (drums), me (guit/voc) and Ted Grauch (bass). We had a gig in Wilmington, NC, way the hell out there on the coast; a long drive from Atlanta. We opened for "The Leaving Trains". They were a 4 piece from California. This was around 1993. They had been touring through the bible belt and not having a good go of it; the singer was in drag. Cross-dressing wasn't as widely accepted in the south at that time! By the time they got to Wilmington they were down to a 2 piece. The bass player and 2nd guitarist quit somewhere around Birmingham. I remember when we pulled up to the club. There was the singer, a masculine dude, probably 6 foot +, standing at a phone booth in a black evening dress telling their record company that 1/2 the band quit. What really became a big inspiration for me when Ted quit Bob, was that the 2 piece Leaving Trains played their asses off. I mean, they could've easily said to hell with it and ended their tour right there. But they didn't. They persevered. When Ted quit, Eric and I played as a 2 piece for about 9 months. We even made a bass player silhouette out of cardboard that joined us on stage at the Masquerade. It was an important experience.<br />
<br />
Venues: CBGB's. One time we (Ray on bass) went on after Unsane and The Cows. Wow, we thought, this is a big crowd. Before we could set up almost everyone left! Not good to go on after well-known bands in NY. People in NY always have some place to be. If you're not on their radar, they have no time for ya. We played CBGB's another time and a Van Halen-like band went on after us. The singer even had a wireless mic so he could annoy the 15 or so people in the audience. It might've been that night that Ray wreaked havoc on a urinal when the club reneged on the $50 guarantee. One of my favorite Bob moments was when we opened for Ben Folds Five in Raleigh, NC. A big crowd of college kids were all up by the stage waiting for our first song, probably assuming that we sounded similar, or at least, complimentary to Ben Folds. Obviously, we didn't. We opened with "Who is Sharon Tate?". "Killing makes me cum....Living makes me sick"....[Eric hits the toms] I release a bloody scream. The audience backs off a respectful 15, 20 feet! Surprisingly, several endured our set before the more conventional stylings of Ben Folds. We were friends with "Bright" from Boston. I've often listened to their albums. They were classified as kraut-rock. Layers of effected guitar and melodies, simple percussion. Great blokes! They put us up several times. "Plug Spark Sanjay" out of Hoboken, NJ, also great people. "Sau" from Richmond, VA. They were metal with a minimal brass section. The singer/bassist was a whiney Mick Jagger. Good band if you can get a copy of their first disc.<br />
<br />
<strong>BF: Your sound went through many twists and turns from your very first singles (e.g. The Peel Sessions and Atomic Café) to your last album Pendulum. What were your influences during all these periods in your band’s history? How would you characterize your progression from the beginning to the end? Did you have any coherent vision for your band as the years went on?</strong><br />
RH: Early on, SST Records, The Minutemen, Sonic Youth. Fugazi was also influential, but not so much for me. We liked pop music, art school Velvet Underground, Jesus Lizard. Later, we attended "Table of the Elements" festival during Freaknick in Atlanta. That was amazing. It directly influenced the song "Fist Embodied Duck" and probably most of "Rounded at the Free End". It was in an art gallery off Peachtree Rd in Buckhead. Keiji Haino did a solo performance. The audience was silent and respectful when Haino took the stage. Haino was dressed in black, had sun glasses and a rock star attitude. He poses before the microphone, silent. Anticipation builds. Then he unleashes a series of unintelligible spastic screams. It was funny, especially because no one in the artsy crowd dared laugh. He then proceeds to play the guitar which sounds like a jet engine for about 30 minutes. AMM, Faust and Tony Conrad all performed as well as 3/4 of Sonic Youth. I never thought about song writing the same way after Table of the Elements, thus, the guitar chord drone for most of "Fist Embodied Duck" inspired by Tony Conrad's extensive drone pieces.<br />
<br />
We progressed from a minimalist pseudo punk band to an arena-rock-dance-collective that never performed in an arena! I mean, on Pendulum, we had 3 guest stars, one of whom was Sicily Simpson (great back up singer). In terms of sound, the songs were meant to be as big as the E Street Band. However, Bob music would always have a gamey underground smell that wreaked of artistic freedom! Bruce Springsteen was a tenderloin, Bob was a north american diving duck. Eric and I once had a short lived band called North American Diving Duck (NADD) before the Bob days.<br />
<br />
There was no coherent vision. The Bob sound changed with the personality of each bass player. We were more punk with Ted, still developing as song writers. With Ray, it was a mixture of free-form improv, aggression and melody. Katt was about grooves, dance and entertainment, sometimes a circus. Eric and I were open to seeing how the sound could develop. Mostly, we were all great friends. Creating music together was our God experience. Other people turn to religion, some people end up in prison. We were in a band. It was the controlled release of energy.<br />
<br />
<strong>BF: Your albums seem to have a lot of experimental interludes, unnamed tracks, random bits and pieces to make the album an entire listening experience, and not just a collection of hit singles. Was this a conscious effort on your part, or is there a motive behind how you assembled and sequenced your albums? Are there any bands you drew inspiration from in putting together these records?</strong><br />
RH: We did take time to consider all tracks and song order. For example, there is 33 seconds of silence between "Who is Sharon Tate?" and the untitled 17th track on Complex Organism Blues (known as "Atomic Cafe"). The 33 seconds was Ray's idea to honor local band King Kill 33. We divided the 20 minute song Animal Speak into 7 different tracks. The purpose was to disorient the listener when they put the disc on random play. I remember tuning to WREK a few years after the release and hearing one segment of "Animal Speak". It was an odd experience because I thought: I like that, sounds familiar, who is it? Then the DJ identified it as Bob. It surprised me in a good way. I can't say that we drew inspiration from anyone when putting these records together. I'm sure subconsciously we did, but it was more about intuition: if it sounded good we went with it.<br />
<br />
<strong>BF: You are also one of the only bands that I can remember that has been able to successfully use vocal effects, bullhorns, etc. in your music. In my experience, vocal effects can be used as a trick to mask any shortcomings of the singer, however you were able to add it as a textural element in the songs and not use it as a “crutch”. Can you tell us more about your strategies for vocals?</strong><br />
RH: I always, always wanted the vocal to be compelling. I was also self conscious about my voice. I wished I could sing like Bono or Ozzy! Back in 1987 Eric and I worked on a song called "Ingrid Receives a Hickey". We recorded it on Eric's 4 track tape machine. On playback I didn't like the vocal, but I liked the tune. Trying another take I cupped my hands over my mouth which resulted in a canned mid range sound. The affected voice was more fun to listen to. Every song had different demands. Vocal effects were trial and error. "You can't shine shit" as Jeff Bakos (Bakos Amp Works) would say. If the song is lousy no amount of effects will make it good. To this day I could still go back and remix some Bob songs because I was unhappy with a vocal level or delivery.<br />
<br />
<strong>BF: What made you decide to ultimately end the band in 2000?</strong><br />
RH: Eric's departure. When Eric left, Bob was essentially kaput. Eric and I had played together in various bands since 1986. We worked really well together. He understandably had enough of using his vacation time to go on the road. Our momentum had slowed. There wasn't much local interest in Bob anymore plus the song writing process became agonizing. "Pendulum" was a strong Bob effort, but we never got around to promoting it. Katt and I tried to continue Bob with our friend Mike Koenig (Lesbian Afternoon). We did a set at Dottie's dressed up like pirates. We were midget pirates so we played on our knees. Bob was over!<br />
<br />
<strong>BF: Lilburn is usually associated in my generation with the hardcore scene that developed there during the same time you were an active band (e.g. Act of Faith, Crisis Under Control, etc.). Did you go to high school or were otherwise friends with the other bands in town?<br /></strong>RH: We lived in Lilburn. None of us went to school there or knew the music scene. We were a part of the Atlanta/Athens scenes. We never gigged in Lilburn. I do remember seeing Black Flag written in chalk on the street. I thought there must be some cool hardcore element about.<br />
<br />
<strong>BF: What was your songwriting process? Did you jam out songs as a writing mechanism or was there a true composer in the group?</strong><br />
RH: We collaborated on every song, so it involved a lot of jamming. A lot of times I would bring in an idea on guitar with a vocal melody to start the process. We'd try it out at practice and if it stuck it might turn into a Bob song. "Pope is" was a guitar riff that I was addicted to. Eric and Ted came up with beautiful drum and bass parts for it. Ted did a guitar overdub with feedback during the middle section on the Peel Sessions EP: gave me goosebumps. "Pope is" was unlike any of our previous songs in that it was based on an ascending riff rather than a more conventional chord progression. It was liberating: for early Bob it was a leap away from punk. "Foam" was one of my favorites. Again, it started with a guitar riff. I wasn't getting anywhere with it. Ray took it over, wrote the words, vocal melody, bass line. Eric banged on a pizza tray for the tinny sound in the quiet parts while I played with the volume pot and a delay pedal to make the guitar sound more like a keyboard. Ray's vocal was passionate. Eric had an uptempo percussion part that would turn into "Leather King". He was in a car accident once, wrote a poem that would become the words for "Raise Electric". "Pizza Christ" was part of a spontaneous jam that Eric captured on his 4 track. "Animal Speak" was structured for the first few minutes then devolved into free form improvisation with our friend Keith Lee making use of an old electric fan. You can hear the grinding metallic sound he got in the last 3 minutes over Ray's looping bass pulse. We had plenty of jams with Katt playing bass or sax, working out rhythms. Katt brought in the bass line and vocal melody for "Sexy". The process went faster if someone brought in an idea and allowed us to jam it out. Free improv was hit or miss. There's a story behind every song.<br />
<br />
<strong>BF: How many bass players did you ultimately have? Why do some bands cycle through one instrument over others? Did you ever assemble a quartet or something larger? The Bob orchestra?</strong><br />
RH: Bob had 3 bassists: Ted Grauch, Ray Surinck and Katt Gass. As for instrument choice, Ted played bass with us, but guitar with The Go Figures (from Athens), the band he ultimately left us for. Ray played bass; wasn't interested in guitar. Katt played bass, saxophone and liked to sing. Eric loved the drums and sometimes played trumpet. I liked both guitar and keyboard. I imagine bands cycle through instruments to try something new. For me, I played guitar for so many years that I was glad to try keyboard.<br />
<br />
For our last album "Pendulum" Bob was basically a quartet/orchestra. Sicily Simpson sang back up on most of the tunes. We had a guy named Harold who played percussion with Eric on "Meteors in Twilight". Diana Obscura played cello on "Disco Murder". For some live shows, Katt invited her brother Ward and her friend Gigi to be "the Bob dancers". It's zany to think about how un-punk we became. Our first gig with Katt was at the Masquerade with Heinous Bienfang and several other local bands for a Kiss cover night. We dressed up as clowns and played "I Was Made For Loving You", Kiss's disco hit. With Katt, Bob was a twisted dance pop band with subversive song lyrics and strange compositions. It was fun, though, more popular in Boston, Mass or Charleston, WV than Atlanta/Athens.<br />
<br />
<strong>BF: Venue-wise, it seems that you guys were open to playing more places than the other bands of your scene, and that is how I got to see you at places like The Somber Reptile and Homage Cafe, etc. Did you consciously decide to stick your neck out there in Atlanta and take some risks with the shows and lineups that you played?<br /></strong>RH: I don't remember any limitations on where we'd play if we could get a gig. We didn't feel like we had anything to lose, so I wouldn't say there was any risk involved. I liked The Somber Reptile. Qui Que (however you spell his name) was good to us. Somber Reptile was where Eric and I played as a duo during a 1993 WREK benefit. I have good memories of those times. That was the first time that we performed the song "Nasty". It was very minimal without the bass or Ray's back up vocal.<br />
<br />
<strong>BF: What is everyone in the band doing now? Are you going to start an art-rock band in Switzerland anytime soon?</strong><br />
RH: Ted is married, has a young daughter, lives somewhere near Philadelphia. He occasionally gigs with Heinous Bienfang if they have a reunion. Ray Surinck lives with his wife in New Orleans. He's been playing in local New Orleans bands for years. He had a punk band called Poop du Jour, plays in War Amps nowadays. He mostly plays bass, but sometimes drums, from what I understand.<br />
<br />
Katt Gass is married, has a daughter, lives in East Atlanta. She played in a couple of Atlanta bands after Bob's demise. One was called Casionova. Her husband, Billy, plays guitar and I know they had a band together. She still screams like an infidel getting tortured by a radical muslim. I was tuned into Live at WREK a few years ago. This hard rock band was playing. The singer was screaming. I know that scream. Sure as hell it was Katt!<br />
<br />
Eric Ingram is married, has a son, also lives in East Atlanta. I know he's interested in electronic music these days. I think he sometimes jams with people on drums. He hasn't been in a band since Bob. He's very busy with work and his family. Eric and I played together for close to 14 years. We had a great run!<br />
<br />
After Bob I played with Brian Cook, one of Pineal Ventana's first bassists. We were an Athens duo. We put out 2 full length CDs "Geographic Tongue" and "Apocalypse Wow!". We called the duo "Black Love". I did a solo album called "Hey Ri'h" around 2006. I'm a married artist living in Switzerland. I have my keyboard over here, learn R&B and standards from piano books. I've heard some pretty good musik over hier. Not into starting a band right now, too time consuming. Too busy trying to see if I have a career as a visual artist.<br />

Welcome to the final installment of the <a href="http://beyondfailure.blogspot.com/2009/11/perimeter-records-christmas-87.html">Perimeter Records/Outer Loop Productions Christmas tapes</a>, this one from 1997. All the old favorites are back, including more weird and goofy novelty songs by St. Nick's Evil Moronic Twin, a few noise/ambient numbers by Routerwelm, Sequence 3 and <a href="http://www.myspace.com/brokensymmetry">Broken Symmetry</a>, krautrock by Starblood, and some "rockers" by <a href="http://www.myspace.com/pinealventana">Pineal Ventana</a> and Liars Club. Overall it's more on the cynical/downbeat compilation compared to the <a href="http://beyondfailure.blogspot.com/2009/12/flagpole-christmas-album.html">Flagpole tape compilations</a> coming out of Athens around the same time. I guess it was time to put the series to rest, maybe as mixtapes became less popular and it was more expensive to produce an actual CD compilation, but now the CDR/Blog Posting/Mixtape culture is back, so hopefully there will be more of a push for this kind of project in the future. As always, you can <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=4d59dce078e59d27ab1eab3e9fa335cac46eab9e1bc1c053">download all the compilations here</a>.<br />

Welcome back to the <a href="http://beyondfailure.blogspot.com/2009/11/perimeter-records-christmas-87.html">Perimeter/Outer Loop Christmas Compilation</a> posts! I posted a series of them around this time last year, but unfortunately Christmas came up pretty fast and I couldn't get all of them up. So here they are! This time we have the first of the Outer Loop Christmas tapes, which started in 1996 after <a href="http://www.myspace.com/perimeterrecords">Perimeter Records</a> was officially retired. The usual team of <a href="http://www.myspace.com/brokensymmetry">Doug Hughes </a>and Chris Swartz are behind the collection, with contributions by Atlanta greats Seely and <a href="http://www.myspace.com/pinealventana">Pineal Ventana</a> as well as the more regular contributors to these tapes in the form of Peppermint Synapse, Sequence 3 and Routerwhelm.<br />
<br />
Always interesting, always weird, these compilations really embody the experimental side of Atlanta during the 90's for me. I wonder in this current world of cheap recording and sharing of music we can't bring these kind of novelty experimental projects back. Maybe I'll talk Doug Hughes into doing one for 2011. This is great music for having a drink in front of the fire by your tree, or maybe lighting the tree on fire in your backyard after Christmas. <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=4d59dce078e59d27ab1eab3e9fa335cac46eab9e1bc1c053">You can download the entire discography here</a>.<br />

<span style="font-size: 100%;">So I have been mighty busy and too spread out to get any new posts done. To get something up here I have scanned all the postcards, business cards, patches, stickers (and pencils!) that I could find. I'm sure I have more stickers already stuck on things that I forgot about. I wish I had the Crisis Under Control "badge" design sticker to scan. Anybody? Thanks to Chuck P.

<br />
<em>The following transcription was recently unearthed from the historical archive of Sgt. Gary Flowers (Ret.):</em><br />
<strong>Toast Of The Turkey, or My Day As Animal Handler Of The Pink Panties<br />Dateline: June 1997</strong><br />
It was difficult enough to get the Pink Panties past United States Customs Agents (what with fresh moon shining convictions on their records), but couple that with their collective agoraphobia and puzzling, yet crippling, fear of all things magnetic, and it was a near impossibility to finally wrangle them into the hallowed halls of college radio bastion WUOG 90.5 fm in Athens, Georgia. Not to mention the band's irrational belief that they were somehow the second biggest band in the free world (behind only [again, in their minds] The Mentors), and commanded far more respect than what was generally afforded them by the half dozen or so musical masochists who could legitimately be called "fans" in any real capacity. The egos were job to contain in and of themselves.<br />
<br />
Once there in the studio, it was quickly determined that the band's knowledge of music, nay, musical instruments was that of a young child. And not a precocious young whippersnapper either, I mean a real dullard. The kind of retard born of inhalants and the East St. Louis School System, a true idiot. It became a true exaltation of will merely getting the drum kit set up, and the amplifiers plugged in. Beyond the archaic power requirements and unruly equipment they crafted their "songs" on, the band could not be bothered to help in erecting their novelty stage props or (beyond offensive, not to mention somehow xenophobic) banners, even when alerted to the fact that this performance was merely for radio broadcast and would not be seen by any person alive or dead, at any time in the history of the universe. All of these tribulations whilst baby-sitting four clinically diagnosed half-wits with the combined attention span of a gnat will test even the most dedicated recording professionals. But (and yes, that sentence began with "but"), 27 hours, eighteen engineers, six gaffers, a dozen catering companies, and one visit from the Arch Diocese of Georgia later, the Panties rose triumphant above the wastelands around their feet.<br />
<br />
What your are listening to is the word from on high, the tempered tones of Truth if you will. All killer, no filler. Say what you will about their methods, their hygiene, their treatment of animals, or their disrespect for the mathematical arts, but the Pink Panties do what they say, and say what they please. Do what thou wilt, shall be the whole of the law, or something like that. I don't know, I'm not a fucking philosopher or anything, I just saw that written down somewhere and thought it would be appropriate, or somehow impressive to quote it here. Doesn't matter because the Pink Panties would have no idea what I was trying to say anyway, hell, they will never even read this transcript, they're probably halfway across the globe drinking Mai Thais out of the hairless buttholes of Laotian teenage boys. That's just how they do, or did, or will do.<br />
<br />
You see, Pink Panties, while technically a band, where more of an apparition, a fever dream of colliding light and shadows never to be contained or replicated. As such, we, the public, are lucky to have even this poorly recorded (and performed I might add) document of their existence playing music, or what might pass for music at the Helen Keller Center For The Criminally Insane (located catty corner from the Elsinore Brewery). The laser focus of the band's sounds could shatter glass and minds alike, not something easily contained on any known commercial format. Like a thief in the night, Pink Panties came, saw, wet on your rug, and were gone before you knew what that smell could even be. I may hem and haw occasionally about their demands, or their inability to grasp even the simplest tenets of language, but ultimately, at the end of the day, when they released the torrent of transcendent energy that was their blitzkrieg setlist...well...what else could I do but acknowledge that I had just borne witness to the greatest porno-grind band to ever emerge from Eastern French Canada.<br />

I never got to see Venosity myself back in the day, but only knew of them through the fact that it was the first band my friend <a href="http://hiddenpartner.blogspot.com/">Matt Mauldin </a>(<a href="http://beyondfailure.blogspot.com/2008/04/bloodspoon-live-at-wreck-room-january-3.html">Bloodspoon</a>, <a href="http://beyondfailure.blogspot.com/2008/05/car-vs-driver-flyers.html">Car vs. Driver</a>, <a href="http://beyondfailure.blogspot.com/2009/06/chocolate-kiss-studio-recordings.html">Chocolate Kiss</a>, <a href="http://beyondfailure.blogspot.com/2009/04/death-is-on-doorstep-final-sonn-av.html">Sonn Av Krusher</a>) played in, and <a href="http://beyondfailure.blogspot.com/2009/02/matt-mauldins-flyer-collection.html">all the great flyers for shows they played</a>. From what I understand of their history, they were high school kids pounding out thrash metal of various sorts in Atlanta during the 1991-ish time period, playing shows with <a href="http://www.myspace.com/ghoststoryatl">Ghost Story</a>, Nihilist, <a href="http://beyondfailure.blogspot.com/2008/12/ocb-die-trying.html">OCB</a>, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/efyouseetee">FUCT</a>, etc. at venues like Visions and Ozone outside the city. The only other member of this band I have gotten to know over the years is Cade Lewis, the current bassplayer of <a href="http://www.jacksoncountyline.com/">Jackson County Line</a> and a guy that I also played with in Chocolate Kiss with Matt. Cade is one of the coolest guys I have ever known, with a really natural playing style that can work in any musical setting, so it blows my mind to imagine him playing bass on these recordings. Of course certain aspects the music did not age so well, but the musicianship is impressive for such young players, and you can see where they were headed as a band. I don't know the circumstances of their demise, but soon afterwards Matt Mauldin started Bloodspoon with some of his Milton High School classmates, and went onwards to Wreck Room superstardom. I'm not sure what happened to the rest of the band members, but I'm sure Craig, Cade and Matt can fill us in.</p>James Joycehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12716336694530802193noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6469040123326158640.post-55422688776896052502010-10-12T09:59:00.009-04:002010-10-12T14:25:34.381-04:00Aslund Constant - The End of an Era in 1997<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SR66N2o-uwU/TLRtW3OLxYI/AAAAAAAAFbw/kdBuqYDUIxE/s1600/Bryan+Fielden.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5527162882238432642" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SR66N2o-uwU/TLRtW3OLxYI/AAAAAAAAFbw/kdBuqYDUIxE/s400/Bryan+Fielden.jpg" border="0" /></a> Here is the download: <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?4bp93clr04bot">Aslund Constant - 1997 Demo</a><br /><br />Since I don't have any pictures of Aslund Constant to include here, I am using another picture of Bryan Fielden on the drumset in its place. Aslund Constant was the combination of Bryan Fielden and Craig Dempsey from <a href="http://beyondfailure.blogspot.com/2008/08/answer-to-ultimate-question-forty-two.html">The Forty-Two</a> on drums and guitar, Lewis Lovely from <a href="http://beyondfailure.blogspot.com/2008/04/all-about-scout.html">Scout</a> on bass, and our favorite <a href="http://somberreptile.blogspot.com/">Somber Reptile</a> soundman John Archer on guitar. They existed around 1997, around the time the 1994-1996 bands started breaking up (Scout, The Forty-Two, <a href="http://beyondfailure.blogspot.com/2008/08/wheeljack-overachievers-from-cobb.html">Wheeljack</a>, etc.) and starting new bands with different combinations of members (Aslund Constant, <a href="http://beyondfailure.blogspot.com/2008/09/chapman-park-19970426-demo-tape.html">Chapman Park</a>, <a href="http://beyondfailure.blogspot.com/2009/10/mascara-aesthetic-shake-golden-calf.html">The Mascara Aesthetic</a>, etc.). Most of these "second wave" bands were pretty short-lived, but then went into a "third wave" which had a much longer shelf-life and went in noticeably different directions from the original mold. For example, after Aslund Constant Bryan went on to play drums in <a href="http://www.myspace.com/infiniteplain">San Agustin</a>, Craig Dempsey started <a href="http://beyondfailure.blogspot.com/2009/06/at-price-of-union-mechanics-of-wind.html">At the Price of the Union</a>, Lewis Lovely started Red Lab recording studio (now <a href="http://www.myspace.com/livingroomstudio">The Living Room</a> under Ed Rawls), John Archer doing sound stuff, and on and on. So I look at Aslund Constant as being one of these last bands of the initial era of Atlanta mid-90's house show postpunk, before it fragmented beyond recognition.<br /><br />In my opinion, the music holds up to anything from that time period, although the only song that was ever officially released by them was on the <a href="http://beyondfailure.blogspot.com/2009/10/is-human-heart-so-selfish-benefit-for.html">Food Not Bombs compilation posted here previously</a>. I was really surprised at how good of a drummer Bryan was, as I only previously knew of him as a guitarist. Now I can't even think of him playing guitar after so many years behind the kit. It is also the only recording that I have with John Archer on guitar, since to me he has always been the guy putting mics on my drums and making smartass comments. Soon Lewis would be pretty much exclusively behind the board as well, becoming the touring soundman for pretty much every band out there as well as a resident soundman at MJQ/Drunken Unicorn. 1997 was a transition year for these guys, but definitely worth a listen.

Here is a split CD from 1994 with fellow noise rockers <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CBIQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.myspace.com%2Fspidervirus&ei=zE2mTIiuE8X_lgeDspQY&usg=AFQjCNFxK0I5IvoQlAOTTRVaB4EzK0T_LQ&sig2=ieENG2cW0xORWleHQ5Sz0g">Spider Virus</a>, who I remember as a band name from that era but never saw them myself. They take the first "side" of the CD, with some great heaviness and some weirdness thrown in, at least on this release. I guess they seemed to have quite a history after this, which you can find out about online, but the real focus of this post is Tweezer.<br /><br />Tweezer was Atlanta's preeminent noise rockers during the mid-nineties. Not as arty or damaged as <a href="http://beyondfailure.blogspot.com/2008/09/early-works-of-bob.html">BOB </a>or <a href="http://www.myspace.com/pinealventana">Pineal Ventana</a>, but the more aggressive member of the family. Kind of like the pissed-off son of the <a href="http://beyondfailure.blogspot.com/2009/09/quadruple-felony.html">Quadruple Felony</a> group. They were a great band, and I hope to get more posted on them and about them as time goes on. Otherwise, I hope to see you at Ria's, and enjoy some classic material from all these bands.<br /><br />Here's the track listing and some indecipherable artwork.

It was a really cool band but, as usual, it fizzled quickly. The band consisted of me on guitar, Derek Frost on vocals, Matt Majoili on bass and Rick Puig on drums. Derek drew all of our fliers.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">We were taking Matt's vert ramp down in Norcross in the Summer of 1988. I knew three chords on a guitar and Rick had a drum set at his house down the street. I also had a bass and Matt started messing around with that. We would take the ramp down during the day (we were being careful so that we could rebuild it elsewhere) and we would play music in the evenings. We did that for about a month and then kind of forgot about it.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">Derek was at some kind of out of state camp for the Governors Honors Art Program.

He actually was pretty good at it. He started getting us shows at Visions and The Pit.

After playing together in one form or another for eight years straight they decided to call it quits and play their final gig on a Sunday afternoon at The Point (just as God would have wanted it).<br /><br />Luckily, Chuck Petrakopoulos recorded it to DAT off the soundboard. There also is video of the show, which I hope to one day soon put on Youtube and post here.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_51GPnUYi6Kk/TI5fU4DX78I/AAAAAAAAAcc/DsCUS6oSB5s/s1600/061696_03.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 216px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_51GPnUYi6Kk/TI5fU4DX78I/AAAAAAAAAcc/DsCUS6oSB5s/s320/061696_03.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516451405823995842" border="0" /></a>The unique thing about hardcore bands is that if you just listen to their live recordings you might think they sucked (what without seeing the stage antics and audience participation etc.). When you're jumping into the crowd you're sure to miss a note or two.<br /><br />For the time being to illustrate my point, this is an earlier clip of the band playing their staple singalong, <span style="font-style: italic;">"</span><span style="font-style: italic;">Stepping Away</span>", at The Wreck Room. The audience never could quite get the vocals down on that one…<br /><br /><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/IjHKiFPEvKU?fs=1&hl=en_US"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/IjHKiFPEvKU?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object><br /><br />The last show audio can be found <code></code><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=4d59dce078e59d277069484bded33bcdcab1b9cd3d201bf6#4,1">here<code></code></a>. Along with the usual song suspects you came to love from AOF, they also played "<span style="font-style: italic;">Candle In the Corner</span>" (a Difference cover) and a new unreleased song called, "<span style="font-style: italic;">All Too Real</span>". The final lineup featured on this recording is Rob Fuller on vocals, Ken Saluzzi and Carter Davis on guitar, Josh Terrell on bass and Jonathan Dixon on drums.<br /><br />Also playing the show that day was Crisis Under Control and I'm sure at least one other band but can't remember who. If you played it, please let us here at Beyond Failure know and I'll add you.<div><br /></div><div><div>All photos were taken by Elizabeth Brown/Beard. Elizabeth, with her trusty camera always in hand, was an integral part of the documentation of our scene. She recently has been taking all of her negatives to Walgreens and having them scanned to disk. She has been so kind to send these to me (which I cannot thank her enough for). Hopefully soon I will have a post dedicated entirely to the images that she captured of our bands. Just to warn you members out there from other bands, AOF was her favorite. They got more lens time with her but there still is a nice smattering of all parties involved.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_51GPnUYi6Kk/TI5xO_QIppI/AAAAAAAAAd4/WpqwVK6GrUw/s1600/061696_09.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 216px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_51GPnUYi6Kk/TI5xO_QIppI/AAAAAAAAAd4/WpqwVK6GrUw/s320/061696_09.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516471095886653074" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_51GPnUYi6Kk/TI5xSn9JUiI/AAAAAAAAAeA/WfkqJSWX2oE/s1600/061696_08.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 216px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_51GPnUYi6Kk/TI5xSn9JUiI/AAAAAAAAAeA/WfkqJSWX2oE/s320/061696_08.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516471158352466466" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_51GPnUYi6Kk/TI5xCuaz5DI/AAAAAAAAAdw/ipU4yvdwYjw/s1600/061696_11.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 216px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_51GPnUYi6Kk/TI5xCuaz5DI/AAAAAAAAAdw/ipU4yvdwYjw/s320/061696_11.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516470885209596978" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_51GPnUYi6Kk/TI5w_JaNvzI/AAAAAAAAAdo/2oFGJMC3KWE/s1600/061696_12.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 216px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_51GPnUYi6Kk/TI5w_JaNvzI/AAAAAAAAAdo/2oFGJMC3KWE/s320/061696_12.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516470823735377714" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_51GPnUYi6Kk/TI5w64bOZAI/AAAAAAAAAdg/okonpKXFzVw/s1600/061696_13.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 216px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_51GPnUYi6Kk/TI5w64bOZAI/AAAAAAAAAdg/okonpKXFzVw/s320/061696_13.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516470750456734722" border="0" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_51GPnUYi6Kk/TI5wt1sOACI/AAAAAAAAAdI/p6xOapnEBiM/s1600/061696_16.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 216px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_51GPnUYi6Kk/TI5wt1sOACI/AAAAAAAAAdI/p6xOapnEBiM/s320/061696_16.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516470526384406562" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_51GPnUYi6Kk/TI5w2gen21I/AAAAAAAAAdY/qIX2BXIu1mg/s1600/061696_14.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 216px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_51GPnUYi6Kk/TI5w2gen21I/AAAAAAAAAdY/qIX2BXIu1mg/s320/061696_14.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516470675309058898" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_51GPnUYi6Kk/TI5WPzUiFgI/AAAAAAAAAcU/2Ru8IyHC9pk/s1600/061696_02.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 216px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_51GPnUYi6Kk/TI5WPzUiFgI/AAAAAAAAAcU/2Ru8IyHC9pk/s320/061696_02.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516441423049790978" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_51GPnUYi6Kk/TI5x75GC08I/AAAAAAAAAeI/d1fFwoBb6po/s1600/061696_07.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 216px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_51GPnUYi6Kk/TI5x75GC08I/AAAAAAAAAeI/d1fFwoBb6po/s320/061696_07.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516471867327828930" border="0" /></a></div></div>MONKEYSATANhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02433927324759699925noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6469040123326158640.post-4959367737651596782010-09-08T13:51:00.002-04:002010-09-08T14:50:45.743-04:00Classic Footage From Our Faves<a href="http://www.chunklet.com/">Henry Owings</a> has been posting some great things up on his <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/chunkletguy">YouTube channel</a>, including some of the Atlanta bands I have written about on this blog. Please check out everything he has, as it is quite the treasure trove. Also, something nice about these clips is that they include multiple songs and give you a more realistic impression of the show - breaking guitar strings, people walking in front of the camera, awkward pauses between songs, everything. If anybody knows, I would love to find out what other bands played on these shows, or more information on the shows themselves.<br /><br /><a href="http://beyondfailure.blogspot.com/2009/05/martians-discography.html">The Martians</a> at the Point - March 26, 1994<br /><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ldfdT9d93hY?fs=" width="425" height="344" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" hl="en_US" wmode="transparent" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="never"></embed><br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Fuchs">Jerry Fuchs</a>-era, what more can you say?<br /><br /><a href="http://beyondfailure.blogspot.com/2008/05/fiddlehead-hometown-heroes.html">Fiddlehead</a> at Somber Reptile - May 14, 1994<br /><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/z2xASscrIO8?fs=" width="425" height="344" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" hl="en_US" wmode="transparent" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="never"></embed><br />The Deaf Waiter material in prime form - the <a href="http://somberreptile.blogspot.com/">Somber Reptile</a> almost looks spooky.<br /><br /><a href="http://beyondfailure.blogspot.com/2008/09/dirt-our-forebearers-in-atlanta-noise.html">Dirt</a> at The Point<br /><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/oM09fpp3NWg?fs=" width="480" height="385" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" hl="en_US" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always"></embed><br />Not sure of the date on this one, but great to see nonetheless.
