Two “new” Gentleman Callers albums being released on Nov. 22

Friday, November 19th, 2010

On Monday, November 22, TIRC Records will be posthumously releasing two albums from the now defunct Gentleman Callers as digital downloads, and both albums will be available for absolutely FREE. The first, A Tangled Mess, was the band’s 2nd studio LP recorded back in 2007 at Firebrand Recording, and the other is their excellent live set from The Wayback Machine radio show on KDHX in St. Louis from October 2004. These are great! Don’t miss ‘em. And tell your garage rock-lovin’ friends!

Great news!

Tune in at 8:30 a.m. (Central Time) on Saturday January 30 and again at 8:30 p.m. (Central Time) on Sunday January 31 to hear it.

TIRC Showcase Recap

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

The TIRC Records Showcase at Deluxe Saturday night was a lot of fun. We didn’t have a huge crowd there, but for a local show I thought the turnout was pretty decent, and it was enough so that each band got paid handsomely, so that makes it all worthwhile. The sound system at Deluxe is amazing. It was loud but it didn’t leave my ears ringing. And each band sounded great. The sound guy there really knows what he’s doing, which is a rarity these days. So kudos to the venue for that, and to Josh for just being a really cool guy. Any bar that has Rat Fink on the wall is alright in my book. And what’s the story with that place and cigarette smoke? When I walked in I saw quite a few people smoking, but it didn’t smell like smoke at all in there. In fact, even after leaving the place at the end of the night, I didn’t have that usual smell of smoke on my clothes that I usually have after leaving smoking bars. I mean, it was on me a little bit, but nothing bad. That place must have one hell of a ventilation system, that’s all I can say. Why can’t more smoking bars be like this? Anyway, I digress…

So the Nevermores CD is officially “OUT” now, and I’ll be posting it on the TIRC Store here sometime today (hopefully). In the meantime, you should be able to find it locally at Vintage Vinyl, Euclid Records and Apop Records. If you don’t see it at any of those locations, be sure to post a comment and let me know so we can get it restocked. And be sure and call your favorite KDHX radio hosts and request that they play something from it! It wouldn’t hurt to do this on KPNT (The Point), either… especially on their local music show (Sunday nights, right?). 

By the way, I shot some video of the bands Saturday night, up until the point where the low-battery indicator was going off (I don’t think I was able to shoot any of Left Arm, who played last, unfortunately), but I haven’t had a chance to review any of it to see if it’s worthy of posting online. If it is, you’ll see it here before too long, I promise. I also snapped a few photos and the same goes for those. I realize I’ve been sort of neglecting this blog lately and I hope to correct that and start posting here more regularly soon… although I’ve got a vacation coming up in a couple of weeks so don’t look for much until after June 1 or so.

Anyway, thanks again to all of you that came out Saturday night and made it such a fun night of St. Louis-style rock’n'roll.

Nevermores’ CD Release Party & TIRC Records Showcase!

Saturday, May 9th, 2009

Saturday May 23 at Deluxe will see three local bands take the stage that each have TIRC Records releases under their belts: The 75s, who released their Stereo EP on TIRC back in February, Left Arm, whose Dissatisoul LP was the best local release of 2008 (if I do say so myself) and who will be releasing their latest 7″ single, “Electric Babies,” very soon, and headlining, veteran St. Louis rock-n-rollers the Nevermores, who will be celebrating the release of their first full-length slab, Nevereverafter. It should be a fun party and a fantastic night of St. Louis-style rock’n'roll, and I hope you’ll come out and support the label and the bands.

The Greenhornes Live at KDHX (April 7, 2001)

The Greenhornes were in town on tour almost eight years ago now, and were kind enough to drop by the station to record this short live set before heading down to the Rocket Bar for their show with the Swag and Holy Infants. This recording was featured on episode #279 of The Wayback Machine the next day. Enjoy!

Lost Geargrinders Tracks!

Thursday, March 19th, 2009

Found these tracks by The Geargrinders recently on an old cassette tape and thought I’d share them with everyone. If I remember correctly, these were from the mid-’90s, and the band wasn’t all that happy with the way they turned out (a bit muddy). But I still think it’s great stuff, regardless of the muddy production. Enjoy!

The Geargrinders – Weather (MP3)
The Geargrinders – Fuzz Grinder (MP3)
The Geargrinders – My Nerves Are Exploding (MP3)
The Geargrinders – Why Now (MP3)
The Geargrinders – Maggots on My Brain (MP3)
The Geargrinders – She’s a Bully (MP3)
