John Cale: WalesOnline interview

Here Comes The Flood — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 08:28:00 GMT

John Cale is interviewed by Matt Thomas about the Paris 1919 performance in Cardiff for WalesOnline.co.uk:“It’s just a case of picking up some strings and brass somewhere along the line. We’ve got the charts done, so we’re just going to have to learn them.

“What we really need to do is bring the whole setup into the Coal Exchange where we’re going to be performing and sort out the sound levels and so on, but I’m not sure we’re going to have the time. We’ll just have to see.”

The Disco Biscuits: On Time EP

Here Comes The Flood — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 16:44:00 GMT

With their newest release Phillie electro jam band The Disco Biscuits sounds even more dance than before. The two new tracks that made it to On Time EP are made for strobe lightning and busting a move invented on the spot. With this selection the Biscuits continue on the path they cut through the musical jungle with their forthcoming album Planet Anthem (February 2010), writing and recording with Don Cheegro and Dirty Harry (Ludacris, Fantasia, Chris Brown. Konkrete of Planet Anthem gets an outing on the EP and is currently available as a free download.

Forget the two remixes of the title track - the original is far superior. The best thing is Loose Change, a track loaded with echo, treated vocals and a Seventies guitar solo that gets sucked into the black hole of 21st Century electronics making it the belated answer to Pink Floyd's Money.

The Disco Biscuits:
Allen Aucoin: drums
Marc Brownstein: bass, vocals
Jon Gutwillig: guitar, vocals
Aron Magner: keyboards, vocals

Buy the On Time EP on iTunes and livedownloads.com for $4.99. The physical version is for sale at shows and the band's website store. The physical version includes two bonus videos: "Mirrors" (live at Red Rocks 2009) and the "You And I" music video.

Tracks:

On Time

Steve Conte & The Crazy Truth: Steve Conte & The Crazy Truth

Here Comes The Flood — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 17:44:00 GMT

photo: Sherry Rubel

Dirty rock 'n' roll. Really dirty rock 'n' roll. That is what the doctor ordered to get out of the gloom of a rainy November day. The self-titled debut by Steve Conte & The Crazy Truth is a sure fire cure. Previously only available at the merch tablle at New York Dolls gig, the album gets an proper release. No looking at the the inner self, getting in touch with your feelings and all that. No, it's about nightly cab rides, ugly truths, gambling and drugs. Oh, and the street team adventures of an Indie Girl.

New York Dolls guitar player Steve Conte and fellow rawk guys Lee "Leeko" Kostrinsky (bass, backing vocals and Phil Stewart (drums, backing vocals) are loud and obnoxious. And that's what rock 'n' roll is all about.

The doctor advices to play this album loud. Play really fucking loud. And then play it again.

Steve Conte & The Crazy Truth is released in the UK/ Europe on November 30th by Varese Vintage/Colosseum Music.

Tracks:

This Is The End
Gypsy Cab
Texas T
The Goods Are Odd
Get Off
The Truth Ain't Pretty
Her Highness
Busload of Hope
Strumpet-hearted Monkey Girl
Indie Girl
Junk Planet

MP3: Steve Conte & The Crazy Truth - The Goods Are Odd (44 seconds clip)

Live date:

11/11 Bowery Electric, New York City, NY
