ACROSS THE RIVER - N.O. demo (1986)

I think I found something interesting here...this is the Kyuss song "N.O." played 8 years before its official release in "Welcome To Sky Valley"...

ACROSS THE RIVER – “N.O.” (unreleased demo, 1986) Truly, the beginning of everything bearing the Desert Rock toetag. ACROSS THE RIVER were from the high desert, and were Mario Lalli (YAWNING MAN, FATSO JETSON, SORT OF QUARTET, TEN EAST etc.), Scott Reeder (THE OBSESSED, KYUSS, NEBULA etc.) and Alfredo Hernandez (KYUSS, YAWNING MAN, VIC DU MONTE’S PERSONA NON GRATA, etc.). They were young and totally hot n nasty in a bitchen BLACK OAK ARKANSAS meets midperiod BLACK FLAG kind of way. Sadly, they were too early for all them just-post-hardcore kids to fully grok. Plans for a release on SST (working title: Live At County Line) never came to pass...
For now, I have been told that there are like 4 or 5 ATR songs that were recently found on a multitrack... I could get only this one for now, but I will reply with more...
Enjoy my GOMIES...

Judging from the names it should be a genuine Stoner-supergroup, but do not expect a Desert Sessions part 11. The Freeks is an entirely different cup of tea, or to be precise, a different slice of cheese

EARTHLESS - SONIC PRAYER (2005) **FIXED**

Once again, thnx to our anonymous friend...we bring to you this lovely dessert jam...
Stoner rock heroes Earthless are from San Diego. The bandmembers are drummer Mario Rubalcaba from Clikitat Ikatowi and Kawabata Makoto's Hot Snakes, bassist Mike Eginton from Electric Nazarene, and guitarist Isaiah Mitchell from Nebula. The trio plays a brand of slow, prodding, jam-heavy guitar freakout and bass throb echoing everyone in this scene. The difference, however, is that Mitchell can actually play the hell out of his guitar...

FUNKADELIC - FUNKADELIC (1970)

If you enjoyed my treatment of Free Your Mind... and Maggot Brain, then I highly recommend you check out this version of FUNKADELIC's eponymous debut. Like the aforementioned albums, I find this record to be an essential record that's often disregarded because of the bad production. Funkadelic sets off the trailblazing career of George Clinton, Eddie Hazel & company in grand fashion. The highlights are probably the bookends, "Mommy, What's a Funkadelic?" and "What Is Soul?" (by the way, soul is the ring around your bathtub), but there's some excellent material in between. I find "Music for My Mother" to be one of the band's strangest trips, and perfect background music for crumbling some of your town's finest. This crew would go on to create a number of classics, but Funkadelic is a classic debut, and an interesting look inside the chaos that would come to the forefront later that year.

MC5 - HIGH TIME (1971)

While Kick out the Jams is commonly (and deservedly) hailed as a rock & roll classic, the equally solid High Time is often lost in its shadow. This was the mighty MC5's swan song and recorded under much duress (though you'd never guess that from the performances). What the album lacks in the band's trademark political venom, it makes up for with solid production, courtesy of Geoffrey Haslam, and a strong set of songs. Hell, Wayne Kramer's "Poison" is my favorite MC5 song. The production here is great, considering it was '71. The sound of High Time is audibly better than other Detroit releases from its time period (FUNKADELIC, STOOGES, etc.) in that you can not only hear the bass, but you can hear it carrying the band as a functional aspect of the rhythm section. Check it out on the galloping closer, "Skunk". If the 13th Floor is a microcosm of intelligent rock fans, which I believe it is, the Faithful will always be torn down the middle when it comes to Back in the USA. We should be able to agree unanimously, though, that the MC5 came in, and went out, with a timeless classic.

THE MONKS - BLACK MONK TIME (1966)

This incredible and influential piece of rock history comes to us compliments of our main man KSN. I'd always heard ABOUT this record, but never actually heard it before KSN shared the wealth. I found myself absolutely blown away by the music here. Black Monk Time certainly defies classicifation, especially considering the era and musical climate of its release. This is angry, experimental garage rock with the occasional wink-and-nudge that fans of DEAD KENNEDYS, BLACK FLAG and the MINUTEMEN will appreciate. THE MONKS' brand of rock is neither melodic or soothing. It's extremely heavy and driving, which is remarkable in itself, considering that this record predates traditional guitar distortion. If I had to make a comparison, I'd probably use The Velvet Underground & Nico, though with shrill and frantic electric organ in place of John Cale's violin. Of course, it has to be noted that Black Monk Time actually PREDECED VU&N. Honestly, I feel like I've been missing out on a key part of rock history - especially the style of rock towards which I personally tend to gravitate. Respect your elders, GOMIES.
