New London Fire of Asbury Park, NJ experiments with sound, creating an exciting, and often surprising, aural landscape that propels the superb first half of their third album, The Dirt The Blood The Faith.

Kicking off with “Other Side of Town,” the band careens like an old wooden roller coaster car whizzing dangerously fast along a rickety track. “Rise,” another standout, becomes an ominous, atmospheric anthem that perfectly segues into “Until the Light Goes Out on Me,” a short campfire hymn presented as a sing-along. “I Don’t See You Anymore” has the breezy vibe of vintage Gram Parsons, and would be a perfect pick for a Golden Smog-inspired playlist. “Arizona” is one of two bloody murder ballads, along with “The Dirt The Blood The Faith,” and both rank among the best cuts off an album rich with choice tracks. “The Dirt The Blood The Faith,” with its dark overtones and arena-ready chorus, reminded me instantly of Pink Floyd’s 1987 classic, A Momentary Lapse of Reason, where David Gilmour took the reigns and created a sonic masterpiece.

If there’s a complaint to be made, it’s simply that the second half of the album loses focus and becomes too repetitive. That isn’t to suggest that the final four songs, “The Jungle,” “Ain’t Wagin War,” “Brothers” and “October,” are bad or qualify as filler. They aren’t, and they don’t. They just fail to leap up and grab you like the earlier songs. And, since they are the final four songs, the album sadly limps off instead of saving one last ass-kicking tune for the very end.

Still, an album with six stellar tracks out of 10 total is an album deserving to be heard. And New London Fire is absolutely a band to watch.

Maybe you know Matt Patton from his days manning the low end for The Dexateens, maybe you’re familiar with his work as the frontman for his own band Model Citizen.  Maybe you’ve heard there’s a new guy playing bass these days with The Drive-By Truckers.  Matt Patton does lots of stuff and we here at Nine Bullets are thankful that he took a few minutes to answer a few questions.

9B: It seems like a stupid and obvious first question but how does it feel to be playing bass with the Drive-By Truckers?  I saw John Frusciante talking about jumping up the wall when he got the call from the Red Hot Chili Peppers.  Did you do anything to celebrate?  Has anything surprised you about them now that you’re playing with them?

MP: It’s a great feeling to be playing with Drive-By Truckers. They were patron saints to the Dexateens when we were making a go of it. They believed in us from the time we met. I have often said that if faith, tears and goodwill could’ve made us more successful the DBT folks and the folks who run the 40 Watt in Athens would’ve willed it to happen for us.

I have to make a conscious effort to separate my fandom from the business side of things. There wasn’t much time for celebration when the dialogue started. We spoke briefly about the possibility one day just after the new year. A couple weeks later they offered me a month of dates and I had to commit to learning a hell of a lot of songs. I have been through this before in a few different settings. I have had the chance to play with a few heroes. There is excitement, but you pray you don’t ruin it. In the end it’s all about the moment you get to walk out on the stage with those folks. If you’re prepared it’s going to be so very rewarding and fun. When I feel prepared and relaxed I catch myself being able to focus on those guys and in that moment I become a fan again.

9B:  I was at your first show in Denver.  Patterson mentioned you were using your vacation days to go out on the road with them.  What’s your day job and is anyone there familiar with the Truckers?

MP: I took a job last year working for the State of Mississippi as an Environmental Scientist. I work in their water division. I am one of the folks trying to ensure that state waters stay clean. I have been working in that field in the private and government sectors for five or six years now. It feels good to come off the road and still have a job. I remember my food and bev days. It was a crapshoot as to whether or not you would be on the schedule when you got back to town!

My co-worker Alicia and I were riding around the levies taking samples one day when I first started and I noticed she was listening to the Truckers on her iPod. She told me that our supervisor Michael was a big fan. The next day I noticed the inconspicuous DBT sticker behind the toolbox on his truck. Needless to say everyone at home and at work has been very supportive of this opportunity. All Michael wants is a signed poster. All my wife wants is me to come home safe….and, my check.

9B:  I read an article about the benefit show that your old band, the Dexateens, played with the Alabama Shakes and Lee Bains and the Glory Fire.  The article said the Dexateens were working on new music and were changing names and maybe getting on the road.  Can you fill us in with Dexateens’ news?

MP: Since we took a break a couple summers back we’ve recorded nearly 40 songs. They’re all in varying stages of being complete. It’s not a project about which we’ve been terribly aggressive. We just focus and get a ton done whenever we do get together. I don’t know what the ultimate plan is. Everyone in the band has moved on to some degree. We all stay extremely busy with work and family; not to mention our own musical endeavors.

I’ve already talked with Elliott about how I think the new material should be released. I’m the one who gets all excited. I start to sweat those details way before it’s time and sometimes I miss the actual plan when it goes down. Elliott has proposed that in the future we use the name the ex teens. That’s very clever and very cheesy at the same time. So obviously I love it. I know there will be new music as well as some shows when the time is right. I would look for it all to be still a ways down the road. There’s no rush anymore.  

9B: Word on the street is that you’re a serious vinyl collector.  Tell us about your collection, numbers, particular genres, etc etc.  I’m not asking about favorites because that’s stupid.

MP: Like most collections it tells my musical story. I started collecting around age 10. My dad started taking us to record shows in Birmingham a couple of times a year. He’d give us a few dollars and let my sister and I  pick out some records. In a few years he wasn’t as involved in collecting and I had become consumed with it. Early finds included Elvis, Stax and Motown because that reflected my mother’s taste. My mother is not a collector. She expresses her appreciation for music outwardly. She taught me to dance. And, when that music plays he seems to be at her happiest. 

My collection really exploded in my teens and early twenties. I had odd jobs and I once worked at the Sound Shop in the mall. I was free to spend a good bit of my earnings on records. This period saw me go from the flowery pop of the 60′s to the hard rock of the 70′s and eventually on to punk and new wave. I added the bulk of my collection at this time. When I got to college in Tuscaloosa we had a wonderful store called Vinyl Solution. I probably stopped in at least twice a day every day for years. I even worked there on weekends for store credit sometimes. Vinyl hauls at this time were all over the map from Zeppelin to The Clash to Gary Numan. I was consuming it all. 

After college I was just another broke musician. I got so tired of looking at my collection. I would have parties sometimes just so someone would pick out the records to play. It’s like I couldn’t bring myself to do it. It’s worth mentioning that Vinyl Solution had shut down by this time. The owner sold me a couple of retail cabinets from the store in which my records sat and collected dust for a few years.

Meeting my wife turned things around for me. I learned how to handle money. I’m happier and I find there is a little money to be spent at the record store. My collection is growing again. The End of All Music in Oxford, MS has a good selection of gospel that I’ve been getting into. I’ll look at everything in the store, but the room where they keep the old soul and gospel usually gets me rifling through my wallet these days. I haven’t counted in years, but I would guess there are more than 2000 records in my music room these days. 

9B:  A little while ago you moved from Alabama to a little town in Mississippi called Water Valley.  I’m a bit familar with Water Valley, it’s a nice town with it’s fair share of odd ball characters and underbelly.  If people want to read about the positive things going on in Water Valley they can read this article from the New York Times but tell us a story about the seedy and socially awkward side of Water Valley.

MP: Very funny! I have used the word miraculous to describe my ending up in Water Valley on several occasions. I noticed I had been saying it one day and I started doing a lot of thinking about it. It’s hard to know where to start, but I have to give my wife credit for moving here five years ago and refusing to move to Alabama where I was. She’s an Oxford girl. She has built a reputation as an artist around these parts and is a part owner of a gallery.

A couple of years ago I was living and working in my hometown of Jasper, Alabama. All of a sudden the Dexateens called it quits and I didn’t have a whole lot to look forward to. Those were some trying times for me. In time I learned that Lynn Bridges had moved to Water Valley to work at a studio there called Dial Back Sound. Lynn recorded several Dexateens records as well as a number of other records I have worked on. In addition to that reconnection I was able to cross paths with Bruce Watson once again. Bruce owns the studio. He has a hands on approach. He hired me for some session work. It was the first I had been offered since the economy went south. It was all such a pick me up!

But, Water Valley is full of self-made folks like Bruce, Lynn and my wife. Independent business is thriving here. We have a grocery that focuses on foods produced locally. We have an actual dress maker in a store front on the main street. We have a space lawyer as well as a mother and wife who produces and markets her own grits. When I look at it all it seems like people here are living on a lot of faith and most folks have told them over and over again that they’re crazy. Yet, they are making it work slowly but surely. These folks are my kind. It’s inspiring and I believe, miraculous. 

9B:  Are you interested in joining the Truckers full time?  Is that on the table, up to you or up to them?  From the Denver show it looked like the band was enjoying having you there and it sounded great.

MP: As Patterson has said in his memos recently it’s a non issue right now. It’s not on the table. The main thing they want to focus on is getting some rest and catching up with family. I know they want to make a really great record this next time and that requires recharging your batteries. I believe they have earned the right after releasing several albums and embarking on tour after tour the last few years. 

They are trying to time all of these things just right. They are trying to have a great time on the last longer run they’re likely to do this year. Nothing would ruin all that right now like trying to fit a new member into the picture. All I know is that I’m having the time of my life and they have expressed to me how grateful they are and that’s enough. 

Big thanks Matt.

Whew. I’m a little late getting this one up. The past 3 days have been a whirlwind of beer, vodka, whiskey, rock shows and front porch laughs but now it’s back to the real world…

Anyhow, last week’s show featured Von from Americana Rock Mix pulling a cohost stint. It’s been a while since we had Von in studio so it was a whole lot of fun. He pulled a lot of the music for the show and much of it, I’d never even heard before. I bookended the show with a Beastie Boys cover and one of their hits while dropping a little McDougall in the middle of it all. Von and I have a worthwhile discussion about The Gaslight Anthem and the possibility that they’re just a one trick pony in the middle of it all too. If none of that is enough to entice you into listening to the show did you know that James Leg (Black Diamond Heavies) and Left Lane Cruiser are putting out an album together? Neither did I! But I did play the first single during the show.

Sound like the good stuff? Then go put some ears on the archived stream of the show.

Episode 71: aired 05.10.2012

You just can’t go wrong with a musician sporting a serious beard. Just look at Otis Gibbs. Or the dudes in ZZ-Top. When the beard issue is brought up, our man Rune says, “I guess it’s part envy on my part, I’ve been wanting one all my life and it turns out I can not grow a beard if my life depended on it. I guess that’s why whenever a musician, and especially a singer/songwriter turns up with a beard, I’ll take him twice as serious as a beardless hack like me.” “The beard,” he continues, “to me at least, signifies that this person actually has lived life, and been too busy to shave – staying away from dead-end jobs where you are encouraged to stay clean shaved.”

Let’s talk about the music though, because that shit speaks for itself. You don’t need to see McDougall’s beard to hear that he’s lived his words when he pleads things like, “I used to be so sure of who my enemies were,” like he does in “The Travels of Frederick Tolls – Part 1″. There’s just so much truth in there. He’s got this raw, dirty voice, and his music has elements of Canned Heat, Tom Waits and delta-blues carefully mixed with bluegrass, country and rock. Writing these catchy tunes with enough edge to keep you on your toes – waiting for his next tale.

A Few Towns More kicks off with a real party. Handclaps, a swingin’ banjo, footstomps and people humming loudly along to the tune before making its intentions wholly clear with track 2, aptly titled “Ready, Begin”. From there the album unfolds with 10 tracks of banjo, growls, footstomps and declarations that, by the end of it’s 39th minute, might have you thinking Scott McDougall is the perfect mixture of Possessed By Paul James and Tim Barry. That’s how it worked for me.

Of one thing there is no doubt: A Few Towns More in undeniably Essential Listening.

Two years ago we’d booked Lee for the Saturday ninebullets.net day party out at SxSW. It was about an hour and a half before they were supposed to play and I realized I had no idea if he was there and, more importantly. I had no idea what he looked like. So, I wandered over to Shane (Two Cow Garage) and asked if he knew who Lee was and if Lee was in the building yet. Shane said (and I quote), “You’ll know him. He’ll be in overalls, carrying a gallon of water and he’ll be the best looking dude in the room.” The minute Lee walked in the room I understood just how terribly accurate Shane’s description had been. An hour later, Lee proved he and his band weren’t just a few pretty faces by completely destroying the room (figuratively not literally). Since then, I’ve been waiting on pins and needles for a Lee Bains album and, finally, we’ve gotten it in There’s A Bomb In Gilead.

Lee Bains, as most of you probably know, was the guitarist for The Dexateens (now Ex-ateens) and the Glory Fires are Matt Wurtele (guitar), Justin Colburn (bass) and Blake Williamson (drums), all well-seasoned vets in the Alabama music scene. Finding himself gigless after the sudden dissolution of The Dexateens, Lee and Co. went to work fleshing out the raw material Lee had that was suddenly without a home.

The result?

In a word, There Is A Bomb In Gilead is sexy .The result is everything The Drive-By Truckers have been trying to become since Jason left/was kicked out of the band. The result is pure rock and roll. Pure Muscle Shoals. Pure Essential Listening. Pure American music.

I admit it. From time to time, I listen to pop music.
Yes. There it is. My wife works at a commercial radio station, and whenever I listen to her show I get bombed with all sorts of crappy mass produced “music”.

That’s why I love this band dearly. They prove that you still can make good quality pop music in the spirit of The Kinks, The Smiths, The Beach Boys and The Beatles. Bands with THE in their names. Why Number Seven Deli doesn’t have a “The” in their name is quite strange, all things considered.

Number Seven Deli was founded in 1997, by Rune Berg, Johnny Hide, Per Amund Solberg and Simen Mæhlum, while at school. Rune Berg moved to Liverpool to attend Paul McCartneys LIPA school, but soon quit when he decided he wanted to MAKE music, not just learn about it.

While in Liverpool he used to take his lunch at the Number Seven Deli in the part of Liverpool called Toxteth. A legendary part of town where the just as legendary footballer (that’s soccer to you americans) Robbie “GOD” Fowler grew up. And so did Ringo Starr and Gerry Marsden.

When Berg reappeared in Norway, Number Seven Deli was rebooted, with the addition of Asbjørn Ribe on piano and organ. Their debut album “Faulkner Street” came out to wide critical acclaim in 2003, and got a nomination for a Norwegian Grammy. The follow up “Seconds” came out in 2006, and was also well received. Asbjørn Ribe left the band after the first album, and drummer Simen left after recording the second album.

Rune Berg was busy with his other (and equally fantastic band) The Margarets, and both Hide and Solberg focused on their families. Number Seven Deli went quiet. And stayed that way for years.

But a couple of years ago they started playing together again. Simen Mæhlum was back behind the drums, and with that the band had come full circle – yet again being the four friends who had created music while at school together.

They soon started work on what would emerge as “Toxteth”, another sign they had come full circle – their sound has matured, but at the same time they once again sound like that band from 1997. Their lyrics have matured even more, but at the same time it’s the story of those four guys and what life threw onto them we’re presented with.

The album is produced by Rune Berg, who have established himself as a well renowned producer in Norway, known for his love for analog sounds and original equipment. And with an ear who knows a good hook or melody when he hears it… and the production on this album is nothing short of beautiful.

Personally I prefer music that’s raw and sometimes underproduced, giving me the artists feelings straight without anything to interfere. But I still mean Paul Simon’s “Graceland” is the best album ever released, so that duality in my brain gets a real kick when I hear music like this. With beautifully arranged instruments that raise the melodies and the words to a level that the song would never reach if delivered with just a voice and an acoustic guitar. The songs have a way of creeping in your ear, and wedging themselves in your brain, demanding attention and refusing to ever let go.

And lyrically a good number of the songs tells a story about growing up, like the two I’ve included here. “No More Crushes” – where he’s content with his life, and don’t want to be caught off guard by a crush on someone new. When we hear “The One’s We’ve Been Waiting For”, it’s a lovely little story about the search and the result.

I don’t know.. I love this album, and in essence it just makes me happy – and to me that’s a lot of what music is about.

Give the guys in Number Seven Deli a try, and tell me what you think…

I was nine when Licensed To Ill was released and I can only assume I heard it for the first time that year but I do remember who played it for me and that we were outside.  Luke Turner had a dual cassette deck and so as we listened to it he dubbed me a copy.  I lost my copy after a couple of listens but I remember sitting outside Luke’s house and hearing “Brass Monkey,” “Girls,” and “Paul Revere” for the first time.  It didn’t seem like music to me, not in a crotchety old white guy kind of way but in a these people aren’t real kind of way.

I was living in Georgia at the time and growing up a somewhat sheltered life but thanks to Luke my world had opened up a bit.  In previous visits to Luke’s house I saw my first dirty magazine and watched the long play video for Michael Jackson’s “Thriller.”  For one of those awakenings his mother made me call home and get permission from my mom first.  Thanks mom.

Some how I missed Paul’s Boutique when it was released, probably because I was a sheltered white boy in Georgia but there was no way to miss Check Your Head.  The video for “So What-cha Want” was so bombastic and hallucinatory and “Pass The Mic” often played in the church van I rode in during high school.  From Check Your Head I rediscovered Licensed To Ill.  It was still awesome but as The Beastie Boys continued to prove, they were always up to something new, something you’d never see coming but glad you witnessed when it arrived.  They were the MTV era and their videos continually recreate this notion of disbelief.

I don’t want to give the illusion that I was a live and die Beastie Boy fan, they were one of many many bands that influenced my teens, though I did perform “Paul Revere” with a couple of guys at a church camp talent show, but that’s a whole story on it’s own.  But as I began to think more seriously about things so did The Beastie Boys.  The Tibetan Freedom concerts were the kind of thing my friends and I only dreamed about attending.  And magazines would always ask how the same group that sung about doing it with a baseball bat could now be so social conscious.  Even at 17 it seemed like a dumb thing to say.  We are who we become not who we once were.

When a friend sent me a text saying MCA had died I thought of those videos, “Sabatoge,” “Intergalactic,” “So What’cha Want,” and though I’d heard MCA had cancer it didn’t seem possible for a Beastie Boy to die.  It still doesn’t.  How could a Beastie Boy die when in my head they weren’t ever real?

I turned on the news after work.  Martin Bashir was talking politics and whatnot but at the end of the show he noted the passing of MCA and that he was survived by a wife and a daughter.  While writing this I found this video and took a break from writing to watch it.  Wow.  I don’t understand how a Beastie Boy can have cancer.  They seem so imaginary and there is nothing about cancer that isn’t real.  There are several people that work on this blog that have been recently impacted by cancer, myself included, and there may not be a more real thing than cancer.  Cancer doesn’t give a shit about concerts and videos.  More importantly cancer doesn’t give a shit about wives and daughters.

My facebook feed was populated all weekend with MCA and Beastie Boy shout outs.  Friday night a friend showed up in a Beastie Boy t-shirt and I overheard several songs being played in the arena while watching the UFC on TV.  Three immature dudes made one of the stupidest and illest records ever.  Thankfully the world let them grow and change because they went on to make artistic records that only these three dudes could imagine.

So I’m guessing you’ve got a Beastie Boy story.  Please share-come rock the “Sure Shot”

The Beastie Boys – Paul Revere
The Beastie Boys – Pass The Mic
The Beastie Boys – Sabotage

Let’s all watch together shall we?

It’s no secret that the 9b camp is a major torch bearer for Possessed By Paul James so you had to know a new video from him was gonna find it’s way onto the site. The song is beautiful and now has a video to match:

One of my favorite singer/songwriters, Otis Gibbs, has released a new video for the track “Detroit Steel” off his latest album, Harder Then A Hammered Hell. Alls I kept thinking while watching this one was, “Damn. I need a White Russian.”

As the entire world knows by now, Adam “MCA” Yauch passed away on Friday and we’ll have more on that later today. Now, however, I want to post something I wrote about The Beastie Boys here on ninebullets five years ago: “The Beastie Boys are one of those bands. It doesn’t matter if you’re a metal kid, a punk kid, a hip hop kid, a goth kid or an old curmudgeon such as myself…everyone likes the Beastie Boys. I’ve even heard people flat out say, “I can’t stand rap, but I dig the Beasties.” If you know someone out there who seriously dislikes the B-Boys, I would advise you to harbor a sensible amount of distrust towards them.” That sums up my feelings…

Anyhow, here is an outtake from the unaired season 3 of The Chapelle Show featuring the Beastie Boys on the Hudson (?) River that’s been making the rounds today:

As usual Tim kept the wraps tight on this one and aside from the live shows we really didn’t know what we would be getting and as far that goes we didn’t give a damn because we knew it’d be a damn good album. So when I finally got my greedy little mitts on this one I couldn’t wait to give it a spin. first thing that struck me about this album was little less “FUCK YOU” and a little more self deprecating humor. In other words it reminds me more of hanging out with Tim in person than of listening to his other albums. I once described watching Tim perform as “watching a man about to get in a fight with himself” and you could hear that in some of his other albums but it’s not really here on this one. Now don’t go off thinking I am saying that this album doesn’t have emotion running through it, it’s just that the emotions here are less anger and more walking around with friends with a 40 in a paper bag talking about life.

I really think that what makes this album what it is its familiarity. Not in the sense that I’ve heard these songs before but in the sense that they make me feel like I am part of the family. In fact there’s a lot on here I haven’t heard from Mr. Barry before. “Adele and Hell” is more like a country song than I honestly thought I’d ever hear from him. “Amen” is as Gospel as music gets. If I ever thought that I had Tim Barry figured out I know now that I was wrong. While 28th and Stonewall was a bigger sound than I expected 40 Miler is hard to even put a finger. Tim continues to do his thing and well it is what it is and as far as I am concerned he can do no wrong. So yeah this is Essential Listening and yeah I wish I could do it justice with my words because I really haven’t. I don’t even think I could if I re-wrote every word here. Instead of embarrassing myself even further I’ll just let you all experience this one for yourselves. You can stream the entire album below thanks to Tim giving us permission to give you a stream for a couple weeks!

I opened the show with a Lumineers, Mastersons, The District Attorneys set I’d been thinking about doing for a few weeks but wasn’t sure how it would go over with the listeners. While the middle of the show features a brand new Gaslight Anthem track as well as a set featuring some of the bands I am looking forward to seeing at next week’s Tropical Heatwave. Finally, on a whim I decided to close the show with a track from the new OFF! album. That’s probably what put the show over the top for me.
