Trevor Jackson Serves Up Metal Dance

 

Output Recordings founder makes a mighty DJ roar.

 

By Blurt Staff

 

Following the Strut label's excavation of Factory Records with Fac. Dance, Strut digsfurther into the under-explored world of industrial & post-punk dance floor material with Metal Dance, a new compilation from one of the UK's most respected DJ / producers, the man behind Playgroup and original founder of the legendary Output Recordings, Trevor Jackson.

 

Drawing on specials that have peppered his DJ sets for over two decades, Jackson mines deep and hones in a time when socialist realist aesthetics and dark machine funk collided explosively during the ‘80s. Much of the album touches on EBM, "Electronic Body Music," a phrase coined by Ralf Hütter of Kraftwerk for the dancefloor-oriented sounds that emerged as the industrial influences of Cabaret Voltaire and Throbbing Gristle locked horns with European synth-punk and new wave electronics. Led by bands like DAF and Front 242, a slew of disciples followed, from Nitzer Ebb to great underground bands like Analysis, Naked Lunch and Portion Control.

 

Jackson cherry-picks classics and rarities from this era, including a new edit of Fini Tribe favourite ‘De Testimony', the cold dance of Analysis' ‘Surface Tension', Neon's dark ‘Voices', re-interpreting a Master C&J riff from the early days of Chicago house, and hard-hitting dubs from Honey Bane, Alien Sex Fiend and Factory Records band Stanton Miranda. Herein lie cold wave sounds that have heavily influenced today's crop of artists - from LCD Soundsystem and The Knife to Factory Floor and Hot Chip.

 

Elsewhere on the album, Jackson brings in unexpected gems - a track from cult John Carpenter film ‘Escape From New York' re-edited by Klein & MBO's Mario Boncaldo, a lost album track by avant garde Spanish artist Diseno Corbusier and a UK promo-only mix of Yello's post-punk workout ‘You Gotta Say Yes To Another Excess'.

 

 

Following his award-winning graphic design work for Soulwax and fresh from projects with Lexus and Italian clothing brand Stone Island, Jackson draws on his talents as graphic designer with some striking package graphics on Metal Dance, the front cover pictured above.

Mitch Ryder Returns w/New LP in Feb.

Sock it to ‘em, Mitch: First US release in three decades.

 

By Blurt Staff


 
Mitch Ryder - the Motor City maniac who, with his Detroit Wheels, notched hit after hit in the ‘60s, including "Jenny Take a Ride," "Devil With a Blue Dress On / Good Golly Miss Molly" and "Sock It to Me, Baby," and remains one of rock's true godfathers - will have his first Americal release in nearly 30 years. Due Feb. 13 is The Promise on his own Michigan Broadcasting Corporation label,.

 

The disc's dozen tracks feature eleven originals plus a live cover for the Motown classic "What Becomes of the Brokenhearted." Ryder teamed up with acclaimed producer Don Was (a fellow Detroit native) for the sessions. The two met when Was worked in the studio where Ryder was making his 1980 release Naked But Not Dead. Although they've worked together over the years ("Brokenhearted" comes from one of Was' annual "Concert of Colors" in Detroit), this was the first time they collaborated on an entire album. Ryder reveals that Was didn't ask to see his lyrics before recording the songs and told Ryder that the only other artist similarly treated was Bob Dylan, which Ryder found a high compliment. Ryder also raved how Was was "able to bring the real exact sound of my voice as it exists today without using any gimmicks."

 

Recording in Los Angeles' historic Henson Studios (formerly A&M Records and originally Charles Chaplin's studios), Was used his team players (keyboardist Jamie Mahuberac, bassist Reggie McBride, guitarist Randy Jacobs and drummer James Gadsen) to give Ryder all that needed - whether it was an explosive guitar solo or a soulful groove. Ryder re-did one of his older songs, "My Heart Belongs To Me," because he realized correctly that this band could give it the proper Stax sound that he wanted.

 

While The Promise is Ryder's first American-released record since his 1983 John Mellencamp-produced Never Kick a Sleeping Dog, he has been a busy musician over the years. He has a very devoted European following, especially in Germany, where a 1978 TV performance catapulted him to stardom. He has released over a dozen CDs in Germany and regularly puts on 2½ hour concerts. "I don't have to do any of my American hits. They don't care," Ryder states. "It really makes me happy to have that alternative career."


 
The Promise is just one of Ryder's several current projects. His just published memoir, Devils & Blue Dresses: My Wild Ride as a Rock and Roll Legend chronicles his colorful career - and how he suffered through addiction, bankruptcy and more - and survived to talk about it all. In addition to the new book and album, Ryder is working on stage musical that he describes as "intensely emotional" and like "a Russian novel."


 
An energetic 66-year-old, Ryder doesn't think "time is an issue that should be treated so seriously." He just strives to be productive and continue to grow as an artist. "I don't feel old," he proclaims, "I feel great about what I am trying to accomplish."

Video + Review: New Pterodactyl

It'll make your eyes pop.

 

By Blurt Staff

 

With their new album Spills Out still fresh in stores, Pterodactyl is touring and has also just released a video from the album, which was just reviewed here at BLURT. Our astute commentator observed, "Pterodactyl comes out of a noisy, aggressive, art-punk tradition, a white noise enclave of tortured guitars and rapid-fire drum rampages. Their third album, Spills Out, downplays frenetic energy for layered vocals, harmonies, tunes and a nod towards pop...In a year when dozens of bands are channeling Animal Collective and more than a few dipping into Grizzly Bear-Bon Iver-Fleet Foxes style harmonies, Pterodactyl punches up the ante. Spills Out swathes its prickly energies in soft, ear-friendly cotton candy, balancing bite and sweetness, urgency and pretty reassurance."

 

Titled "The Break," both the song and the video are trippy as hell:

 

 

 

 

According to the band, the video was made from about 1,500 still photos taken in all sorts of varied situations: on tour in the US and Europe, at home in New York, in California with family, in Bali...

 

"It's kind of a hyper-scrapbook, where life flashes before your eyes at five photos a second," they explain. "Some items featured in the photos include: a Prince record cover, a Balinese gamelan orchestra, shows at Death By Audio and Silent Barn in Brooklyn and the Smell in LA (among others), Joe's two nephews, a physics demonstration lighting up a piece of pencil lead with 5 amps of electric current, a used condom in the street, a graveyard in New Orleans, a crack in their van's windshield...

 

"The song itself is about quitting your job, and the inevitable flood of free time that comes as a result. Inevitably, most of this time is spent alone, which is both an awesome blessing and a huge challenge.  Surfing is like a perfect little peaceful haven for solitude. It's like a vacation from having to think about what you should be doing at that moment because you're only supposed to be doing that one thing.  No matter how badass a surfer you are (or aren't) it's always just about trying to focus on that activity."

 

Tour Dates:

 

Tuesday, Dec. 6 - Fargo, ND - The Aquarium

Thursday, Dec. 8 - Milwaukee @ Frank's Power Plant

Friday, Dec. 9 - Chicago, IL @ Empty Bottle

Monday, Dec. 12 - Montreal, QC @ Reserve Phonique

Wednesday, Dec. 14 - Winooski, VT @ Monkey House

Thursday, Dec. 15 - Northampton, MA @ Flywheel

Friday, Dec. 16 - Brooklyn, NY @ Knitting Factory

Report: Thee Oh Sees Live in Portland

 

 

December 1 at the Doug Fir Lounge, along with opening act Total Control, the noisy quintet raised a righteous racket.

 

By Tim Hinely



I wanted to get there early enough to catch Portland's Mean Jeans (Dirtnap Records) but did not make it. Arrived a bit after Total Control had hit the stage. This punishing 5-piece, who hail from Australia and feature members of UV Race and Eddy Current Suppression Ring, hit hard with a 2-guitar attack, a rock-solid rhythm section and a vocalist who actually emotes. At different points in their set I turned to my pal and stated "This song sounds like Mission of Burma!" or "This one sounds like Wire!" so you know they've got good taste.

 

After missing Thee Oh Sees last year as part of the Scion Garage Fest, I was hungry, starving even, to see them. They delivered the goods and quite mightily. The guitarists both wear their guitars up high (and probably have skirmishes in the van over who has more tattoos) and put their fingers in places on the fretboard that others have never dared to go. Meanwhile the two drummers gleefully whack away with broad smiles and the female keyboardist standing behind them holds it all together.  As far as I could tell they played songs mostly off of their two 2011 releases (Castlemania and Carrion Crawler/The Dream) and it all sounded superbly righteous. These five looked like they could've played ‘til sun up if the club allowed it, but alas, as the clock struck 12 it all had to come to an end. Catch ‘em before you (or they) die.

First Look: Bitch Magnet Reissues

 

Released this week by Temporary Residence, the post-rock legend's entire oeuvre is ripe for rediscovery.

 

By Ron Hart


When Oberlin College students Jon Fine, Orestes Morfin and Sooyoung Park put their shared affinities for the likes of Scratch Acid, Big Black and Squirrel Bait in action back in 1986, little did they know the noise they would create as Bitch Magnet would not only inspire two generations of musicians but help provide the DNA for the supersonic sub-genre known as "post-rock" (even though the band scratches their head at the kooky term).

 

Shortly after relocating to Chapel Hill, North Carolina, joining the likes of Flat Duo Jets and The Connells in the Triangle region's burgeoning underground rock movement, the trio quickly set themselves apart from the scene at the time with their high wire act. They deftly balanced the rhythmic complexity of the post-hardcore they were devouring vicariously through such labels as SST and Touch & Go with a keen sense of melodic density that was all their own. The group even piqued the interest of one of their heroes, David Grubbs of Squirrel Bait/Bastro/Gastr del Sol fame, who joined them on tour in 1989 and performed on their 1990 swan song LP, Ben Hur before the band split up and moved on to form such acclaimed nineties acts as Seam, Vineland, Coptic Light and Walt Mink.

 

However, the influence the group has had on the last 20 years of modern rock is undeniable, inspiring such a wide swath of groups ranging from Superchunk to Sunn O))) with their unique brand of math-y aggression. "Probably more than any other band, Bitch Magnet sent me in the direction I took with the music I have tried to make," said Battles guitarist Ian Williams, who played with Magnet guitarist Jon Fine when he briefly joined Williams as a temporary member of Don Caballero in the late ‘90s.

 

 

 

Finally, after years of being out of print following the shuttering of their record label Communion (which also put out records by Jawbreaker, Thinking Fellers Union Local 282 and Thrones, among others), the scholarly staff at Brooklyn Temporary Residence, Ltd. scored the rights to Bitch Magnet's back catalog. Just in time for their hotly anticipated reunion gig at All Tomorrow's Parties' Nightmare Before Christmas extravaganza in the UK the weekend of December 9th (marking the first time the original lineup of the band has been on stage together since 1989), this eponymous three-disc anthology features remastered editions of the group's original three LPs: 1988 debut Star Booty, 1989's Umber and the aforementioned Hur. You also get more than a half dozen bonus tracks as well, primarily alternate versions of such key Bitch bangers as "Motor," "Joan of Arc" and "Sadie" among others. The packaging for this set is pretty damn cool as well, particularly the snatches of homemade concert flyers, bootleg cassette covers and live action shots that exist in lieu of predictable essays and liner notes from indie blowhards who think they know better.

 

Bitch Magnet - Mesentery by Big Hassle Media

 

Come, Polvo, Silkworm, Unwound, Chavez, Shipping News, June of 44, Tortoise, Mogwai, Rodan and Russian Circles are just a small smattering of the acts with whom the shadow of influence cast upon them by Bitch Magnet has loomed large over the course of the last quarter century. And this collection should be as essential to your listening rotation as your favorite album from any of the bands who continually drank from the unique brand of introspective intensity pioneered by these unsung heroes of indie rock's mean season.

 

Ladies and gentlemen, the Bitch is back.

Bluesman Keef Hartley 1944-2011 R.I.P.

 

 

Was a key member of John Mayall's group as well as a bandleader in his own right.

 

By Fred Mills and Rev. Keith Gordon

 

Longtime aficionados of the mid ‘60s British blues boom received sad news last week: drummer Keef Hartley died on Saturday, Nov. 26, from causes not yet disclosed. He was 67. Hartley had been a key player on the London scene as a member of the Artwords and later the massively influential John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, later going on to for his own Keef Hartley Band which over the years released five albums and also performed at Woodstock in 1969.

 

BLURT contributor Rev. Keith Gordon, of the popular Blues.About.Com blog, picks up the story in his obituary of Hartley:

 

"After the Keef Hartley Band, the drummer put in a brief stint with British rock 'n' soul band Vinegar Joe, appearing on their 1972 album Rock 'n' Roll Gypsies alongside singers Elkie Brooks and Robert Palmer. In 1973, Hartley would release his lone solo effort, Lancashire Hustler, with Palmer and Brooks providing backing vocals behind singer Roden, and the drummer would reunite with Anderson and former Artwoods bassist Derek Griffiths in the ill-fated hard rock band Dog Soldier, which released a single eponymous album in 1975. Hartley recorded and toured with Michael Chapman, and reportedly made a nice chunk of change for his (uncredited) playing on the soundtrack to the blockbuster movie Grease.

 

"Hartley disappeared from music in the 1980s, working as a cabinet maker and refurbishing recording studios. He released a biography titled Halfbreed (A Rock and Roll Journey That Happened Against All the Odds) in 2007, writing about his youth and career. In recent years, young blues-rock fans in both the U.S. and the U.K. have re-discovered the Keef Hartley Band, and virtually all of the band's albums have been re-issued. As both a bandleader and as part of Mayall's seminal Bluesbreakers, Keef Hartley's influence is inestimable."

Blues Legend Hubert Sumlin 1931-2011 RIP

Howlin' Wolf's guitarist was revered by several generations' worth of music lovers and innovators.

 

By Fred Mills and Rev. Keith Gordon

 

One of the great blues guitarists - and one of the last remaining links to the golden era of Chicago and Mississippi blues - has died. Hubert Sumlin, whose supple yet stinging licks powered scores of Howlin' Wolf's best-known songs, passed away yesterday, Dec. 4, at the age of 80. According to news reports, his death was from heart failure and he had been in a Wayne, NJ, hospital. It's also said that the Rolling Stones' Keith Richards had helped Sumlin out with some of his medical bills this year.

 

BLURT contributor Rev. Keith Gordon, of the Blues.About.Com blues blog, writes:

 

"Born in Mississippi, but raised in Arkansas, Sumlin taught himself to play guitar. At the age of 10, he fell through the window of a local juke-joint while trying to catch a glimpse of Howlin' Wolf's performance. The mighty Wolf allowed the young Sumlin to stay and watch the show, beginning a life-long friendship. Sumlin would form his first band with school friend James Cotton and guitarist Pat Hare, and they would perform on Howlin' Wolf's radio program out of West Memphis, Arkansas.

 

"When Wolf moved north to Chicago in 1954, he took Sumlin with him. After a couple of years of performing under Wolf's stern hand, however, Sumlin jumped ship to Muddy Waters' band, but after a year of heavy touring, he returned to back up Howlin' Wolf, which he would continue to do until Wolf's death in 1976. By that time, Sumlin had already recorded several solo albums, so he just continued in that direction, recording infrequently but touring constantly, appearing at blues festivals around the world.

 

"Sumlin won a Blues Music Award for his 2004 album About Them Shoes, which included guest appearances from friends and admirers like Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, Levon Helm, Bob Margolin, and others. The guitarist was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in 2008. Diagnosed with lung cancer in 2002, Sumlin had a lung removed, gave up smoking and drinking, and went back on the road with renewed energy. A one of a kind talent, Sumlin's contributions to the blues are legend. He will be missed by family, friends, and his many fans around the world."

 

***

 

To add a brief personal note: yours truly was privileged to spend part of an afternoon with Sumlin in Charlotte, NC, in 1986. Local musician Sumner Burgwyn, along with Jim Kent, had made a 72-minute documentary on Sumlin titled Living the Blues (Juke Joint Productions), and the filmmakers were able to bring Sumlin to town for the film premiere. As music editor for the local alternative weekly in Charlotte at the time, I previewed the film and talked to Sumlin. Impeccably attired in a powder-blue suit and matching fedora, he was a gentle and gracious a subject as I'd ever had, casually fielding my fanboy questions about Wolf and other blues legends he'd worked with over the years. He was also happy to autograph some of my records, and even offered me a swig from the silver hip flask he would occasionally pull out from his jacket pocket and take a nip from.

 

I declined the whiskey, but now I wish I had accepted it. I mean, how many kids would be able to say they passed a flask back and forth with Hubert Sumlin? Rest in peace, sir.

Haynes Xmas Jam Adds Events, Players

 

Jam By Day concerts announced.

 

By Fred Mills

 

With BLURT being based in North Carolina - despite our extremely decentralized office structure, two of the editors as well as the publisher/CEO currently call themselves Tarheels - it's no understatement when we say that the annual Warren Haynes Christmas Jam, about to hit the #23 mark in Haynes' hometown of Asheville, NC, and as always a benefit for the regional chapter of Habitat For Humanity, is on of our must-attend yearly events alongside SXSW and Bonnaroo. The Jam happens this coming weekend, December 10, at the Asheville Civic Center, along with the invite-only pre-Jam Jam held the night before at local club the Orange Peel (which will be broadcast over the airwaves and internet, as usual, by our friends at WNCW-FM, starting Friday evening, Dec. 9, at about 6pm).

 

Joining the previously announced heavy-hitters (Haynes' band Gov't Mule, plus Phil Lesh & Friends, Los Lobos and Bela Fleck) at the Jam proper will be guests Mike Barnes, Jeff Chimenti, Bill Evans, Audley Freed, Jackie Greene, Jimmy Herring, Robert Kearns, Kevn Kinney, Brad Pemberton, Joe Russo and Jeff Sipe. Many of them will no doubt turn up at the pre-Jam Jam as well. The event, incidentally, sold out this year in record time, quickly surpassing ticket sales for all of its 22 predecessors.

 

In a recent story about the Jam, local daily paper the Asheville Citizen-Times cited a few choice numbers:

 

1988 - first year of the Haynes Jam

$5 - cost of ticket to 1st Jam

$56 - cost of ticket to this year's Jam

$100 - asking price for ticket on Craigslist (eBay average is also about $100)

$950,000 - donated by the Jam to Asheville Area Habitat For Humanity

17 - number of Habitat homes built with Jam donations

 

Meanwhile, the organizers recently announced a slew of daytime events that Jam attendees and folks who weren't lucky enough to score tickets alike can check out. Those are listed below - to all our friends coming in from out of town, welcome to Asheville, and we'll see you at the Jam.
