it’s a rock monster, it doesn’t have a motivation!

5 Comments Written by gregor on May 22, 2007 in shows, the wrens, tunes.

this is some very cool news. the day after his show at the 40 watt on july 9, jason isbell will be throwing the record release party for his solo debut, sirens of the ditch, at the earl in atlanta on july 10. from there he’s got a shitload of dates spanning the country so check out his new site or myspace page for further details.

one of my favorite records of the past couple of years is black mountains self titled debut. black mountain is a dirty and sexy blend of the rolling stones, velvet underground, brian jonestown massacre, and maybe even a little hawkwind. anyway, two members of black mountain, amber webber and joshua wells have teamed up and formed, lightning dust. their debut, which is fucking great, is a lot more subdued than the black mountain but no less enchanting due in part to ambers amazing set of pipes. their debut is being released by jagjaguwar, one of my personal faves, on june 19. while i dont have anything to share from said release here are some black mountain/pink mountaintops/jerk with a bomb – lead mountain(tops) stephen mcbean’s first group – stuff to whet your appetite.

druganaut – black mountain

rock n’ roll fantasy – pink mountaintops

dont forget your love – jerk with a bomb

fine health is at home – jerk with a bomb

lightning dust myspace

here is everyone’s favorite working stiffs who happen to make up one of the most excellent bands around, the wrens performing at brandeis university on 2.3.07.

1. this boy is exhausted

2. per second second

3. everyone choose sides

4. happy

5. faster gun

6. the house that guilt built

7. boys you wont remember

8. hopeless

9. she sends kisses

10. i guess were done

11. this is not what you had planned
