Private Notes
Superchunk has been one of the longest running and most influential bands in American punk and indie rock of the past 30 years. Through the decades and a dozen album, the band has always sought joy in moments big and small, propelled forward by Jon Wurster's drums and Laura Ballance's bass, Jim Wilbur's million hooks, and Mac McCaughan's jumps. Their live shows are always unforgettable.
Divide and Dissolve are an instrumental two-piece doom band based out of Australia. Their elemental low-end approach is undergirded by their ardent support for indigenous rights and an end to western colonial power structures and dynamics.
Greg Cartwright has been a prolific mainstay of the Memphis garage/punk scene for decades. Formed in 2001, Reigning Sound developed a more classic R&B classic garage rock pop sound that they perfected on their final album, A Little More Time with Reigning Sound. Following this tour Greg pulled the plug on the band - but they may one day return.
Animal Collective - Panda Bear, Geologist, Avey Tare, and Deakin - have been pushing new musical frontiers for a couple decades now, both as a collective and in their own projects. Their tireless pursuit of new and interesting sounds coupled with their free improvisational method of collaborating and songwriting has always lead them somewhere uniquely their own through a tremendous body of work.
Dinosaur Jr. - J, Murph, and Lou - started combining country sensibilities with heavier 70's guitar metal to create Dinosaur Jr's first album, Dinosaur. In the years that followed, J became a guitar god and their music has inspired countless kids to pick up an instrument and start a band. Still shredding in front of Marshall stacks, this episode offers a quick retrospective of their career.
Hailing from Hattiesburg, MS, MSPAINT uniquely innovative take on hardcore and punk, married with lead singer Deedee’s assessments of post-modern America, have made for a critically acclaimed electro-noise steamroller from the Deep South.
Brazil’s Os Mutantes are revolutionaries in more ways than one. Marrying psychedelia with traditional Brazilian rhythms in the 1960’s and ‘70’s, Os Mutantes also fearlessly stood up to Brazil’s military dictatorship.
For 30 years, Portland, Oregon’s Quasi has been based around Janet Weiss’ thundering percussion and Same Coomes “Rocksichord” organ. Their first album in ten years, exploring the depravity of the modern age and the search for hope within it, was released this winter.
