Bonnie Prince Billy performing a Susanna Wallumrød song “Wild is the will”.
Digital release of this single is available from Drag City.
“During the making of the WOLF OF THE COSMOS record, Will Oldham was immersed in Susanna‘s music. Brian Strumke of Stillwater Artisanal Ales asked Oldham if he was down for another collaboration (the previous one got Bonny and Louisville jammers Watter together for a demonic dirge “The Devil is People”). They started talking Norway, and fortitude, and mysticism; then they retreated to their respective corners to roll up their sleeves and do their own dirty worx. Oldham found Susanna’s original for “Wild is the Will” on her FLOWER OF EVIL record. The ensemble from WOLF OF THE COSMOS (Emmett Kelly, Cheyenne Mize and Chris Rodahaffer) was reassembled. Joining them were two proper Norsemen, Frode Haltli and Vegar Vårdal Stillwater will be releasing a beer of the same name. The beer is a rustic sour ale aged on cedar; it pairs excellently with horse meat. The artwork is a watercolor by close Bonny compatriot Oscar Lee Riley Parsons. There is a wonderful video clip to accompany the music made by Ramin Eshraghi-Yazdicalled “A Baby Listens to Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy“”.
Here is a new video from La Luz for the song “The Creature”, taken from their new album ‘Floating Features’ available via Hardly Art.
La Luz plays live tomorrow night at The Loft @ USCD.
This is “Psycho star” from King Tuff‘s new album ‘The Other’ available now via Sub Pop, this is album sounds very mellow down-glam rock, we hope it sounds more energetic when performed live, go check him out on May 3rd at Casbah San Diego.
The Melvins kicked off their latest tour with their sold out show at the Casbah on 4/26. This, behind the release of their new album “Pinkus Abortion Technician”. What was special about their show this time around? Well their lineup consisted of 2 bass players, Jeff Pinkus to Buzz’s right and Steven McDonald to his right. So sandwiched in between those 2 and in front of Dale’s drumming we got a one of a kind show.
One of the topics of conversation that came up last night after their amazing show is this.
Who will take the Melvins place when they’re gone?
Who is that one band that can live up to the task of performing every year thunderous sets?
Be a beloved and cult band at the same time.
Be able to inspire and be admired by other musicians and still produce an amazing body of work.
There are so many more qualities that can be added to them.
Many more ways of paying tribute with words or pictures, but the best thing you can do right now is go out and see them play live.
Who knows if there will be another band in our lifetime that can do what the Melvins have done for 35 years so far, and counting.
Long live the Melvins.
