Since early '04, my brother and I have maintained this perennial rock project. We've gone from distorted Rhodes, double-kick, and hand-me-down wolf t-shirts to lugging around an organ and a litigation bag full of guiros and other rhythmic delights. We released the super-rare "The New Shitty Osmonds" in summer '04, and are currently putting together an online retrospective to bring everyone up-to-speed. For now, dig our Myspace page, and check out our press in the Boise Weekly.
This Christmas project was recorded long-distance via internet. It features the core of the Shitty Osmonds, but is quite a bit more reverent. Lots of jazz with a strong backbeat--not your dad's Christmas jazz record, though he can listen, too.
Circumstance has sent this project into a holding pattern, but, damn, they got a good sound: ragtime, rock, hip-hop. They even recorded an EP; maybe we'll release it some time. For now, dig the inimitable sounds at our myspace page.
This band was formed while I was studying abroad in Stirling, Scotland. My Chitown cohort and collaborator Felix Pineiro and I trolled the open mic nights, and quickly made a name for ourselves, causing barroom ruckuses with this brash, American, quasi country stuff. Alan Henderson, who would often provide accompaniment on the djembe, got us intoRandom Rhythm studio by the Stirling bridge, and, aside from a few stateside shows, that was the culmination of the project.
Little vignettes that straddle the material and ambitions of Black Wednesday and Strong End Jook Joint.
