2010-12-16T21:19:00.001-08:00

The intoxicated result of an all night recording session and meeting of the minds for the boys and English export Davey Peake, who records back home in Market Drayton, England as The 6 O'clock Phantoms.

Planet Rye Co : Rain Door (2003)

2010-12-16T11:56:00.000-08:00

Recorded June-July of 2003, this record tries in essence to capture the more psychedelic qualities of Summertime in Texas, but more or less is yet another weird record with some entertaining moments.

Planet Rye Co : An Evening In Bastrop (2002)

2010-12-13T21:22:00.001-08:00

2010-12-13T20:07:00.000-08:00

More or less outtakes from the previous three albums, though it includes some arrestingly odd gems such as "Science Class Grade 7 Trip" and "The Den"; an aural exploration of a man in his comfortable evening den. Recorded Summer-Winter 2001.

2010-12-13T19:46:00.000-08:00

2010-12-13T19:44:00.001-08:00

PigGie Hat was formed in late 1996 by JoDee Purkeypile and Sean Crooks, with the lineup completed in late 1997 with drummer Chris Sensat and bassist Paul Murray. Though never a local success, PigGie Hat left behind an interesting catalog of pure late 90's grunge-blues. This anthology compiles for the first time the group's official released recordings along with a trove of home demos and live

2010-08-10T00:08:00.000-07:00

A few years back we posted the one and only album from Austin's King Kasibel, FROM THE WOOD. Recorded in the Summer of 1997 on 4-track at Emerald Wood Studio, the songs, primarily written by Manuel Arsiaga (standing in the photo above), run amok with emotions and styles, ranging from the homocidal garage punk of "U.T. Tower", the scourned ballad "No More", the whimsical Paganistic ode "Whisper",

The record features plenty of strange music, sound effects, and bizarre segways, all of which enhance the group's twisted blend of Barrett-esque

"BELLADONNA" : The Sound Play (2008)

2009-02-06T08:59:00.000-08:00

Begun as a short story in the Fall of 1996 by John Dolph, BELLADONNA was also to be an accompanying soundtrack album, with 10 new songs written by the Dolph Brothers, Sean, and JoDee. When the group began going their seperate ways with the formation of PigGie Hat, in early 1997, the story and it's companion album were abandoned. Unlike the album, however, the story had been completed, and the

KING KASIBEL - From the Wood (1997)

2008-07-28T05:07:00.000-07:00

King Kasibel was formed in 1997 originally as an acoustic duo of songwriter Manuel Arsiaga and Chris Dolph.

After meeting PigGie Hat's JoDee Purkeypile, sessions began at Emerald Wood Studio in it's 4-track workshop infancy. The resulting

Murray and his PigGie Hat bandmates JoDee Purkeypile, Sean Crooks, and Chris Sensat also planned on recording a soundtrack to accompany the story, and a few of these were taped on 4-track during this time. There was also talk of a film version of the album, with
