Two years after The Nevermores first announced they were heading back into the studio to record their 2nd LP, the sucker is finally getting released! And boy, do we think it was worth the wait! And, like all of our releases this sucker is available for download absolutely FREE. But it’s also available on 12″ vinyl LP for $10 plus shipping. You know you want one, so please visit the Bandcamp page to order/download. Thanks!
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!
And don’t forget to “like” TIRC Records on Facebook and follow us on Twitter! More news to come…
The Nevermores are heading into the studio in two weeks to begin recording of their second album (working title Fall of the House of Mustard) including tracks: Blue Diamond, Adeline, Shallow Grave, Lilly’s 11th, Crescent Moon, 12 Bells, I’m Waiting, Like A Pill, Window Pane, Forget Me Knot, Yesterday’s Tomorrow, House Of Smoke And Mirrors, and Tangerine Submarine. Hopefully we’ll have more updates soon and see this sucker released later this year!
Great news! The Nevermores‘ song “I Lost Lenore” from their TIRC Records LP Nevereverafter will begin a 14-week rotation on Bill Kelly’s show on Little Steven’s Underground Garage channel on Sirius XM satellite radio beginning this weekend! 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. And thanks to Bill Kelly (who’s also been spinning them on his show on WFMU in NYC) for the great exposure!
Now would be a good time to become a fan of the band on Facebook and follow them on Twitter.

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?).Â
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.

APPEAL FOR FUNDS
Hello, this might be a bit of a strange e-mail. I have treated bands very fairly since I’ve started Voodoo Rhythm and have given them their records for cost price so that they could make a solid profit when selling their records on tour (we all know payouts are lousy nowadays). I did approach the SUISA (Copyright Company, musicians’ union) and informed them of the nature of my agreement with the bands.
Unfortunately I never put it in writing.
Now that is exactly the problem: The SUISA demands payback of a total of 42,500 Swiss Franks (roughly $38,000 US). Basically they want money for productions that had long been settled. The bitter irony is that bands of course prefer free copies of their album, yet the SUISA is oblivious to this fact and demand the money within 30 days. If we cannot meet their demands we might have to shut down business, since it is completely impossible for us to raise that kind of money. Therefore we kindly ask for your support. Even if we can pay we will not be able to offer the bands the same deal as before, in spite of the fact that they would much rather get free copies from us as opposed to SUISA money (especially American bands since they don’t get any SUISA money at all).
We hope you can help us. We don’t want to quit, we want to resume or work and our journey. Please transfer funds to the following account and forward this message.
Sincerely,
Reverend Beat-Man

Voodoo Rhythm is not only one of the few remaining truly KICK-ASS trash-punk-blues-rock’n'roll labels left on the planet, but I also consider Beat-Man a personal friend of mine, so please, if you can help out, do so. Send PayPal payments to info (at) voodoorhythm (dot) com. Thanks!
I realized today that some of you may be wondering why I stopped doing the TIRC Podcast. Well, for much the same reason that I had to stop doing my old radio show, I just don’t have time. I’m lucky to pump out a new episode of Savage Kick every three weeks, much less do another one, as much as I would like to. I had tried to dump it off onto my friend and TIRC Productions cohort, Jason Potter, but he flaked out after just one episode. I can’t say I blame the guy… he’s busy, too, with his own band and family-type stuff. So where does that leave us? Well, without a fucking podcast host, obviously. I don’t know about you, but I still think St. Louis could really use a great local rock’n'roll podcast. And I would be willing to let you post it right here on this very blog if you’d like, too. But we just need to find some poor sap who’s going to commit to doing it regularly, consistently, at least once every month or two. If you think you’d be up for the task, get in touch. I’d be happy to help get you on your way and give you all the tips and whatnot you could possibly need to get you on your merry way producing your very own local music show. OR let’s say you don’t want the show hosted here at all. You want to do it all yourself, name the show, post it on your own blog and take all the credit. That’s fine, too. Get in touch!

LOUD Technologies, the company that purchased St. Louis Music in 2005, has closed this long-time (since 1922) locally based company, a designer and distributor of Ampeg, Crate, Dan Armstrong, and other top brands of musicians gear. In May 2007, Loud closed the Ampeg and Crate engineering department in St. Louis, preferring to have new models designed by their own engineers, as well as an Asian engineering group. This followed Loud ceasing manufacturing of Ampeg and Crate at the Yellville, AR, manufacturing facility, outsourcing the manufacturing to contract manufacturers in Asia, and firing the entire sales staff. As if all of this wasn’t bad enough, Loud has also decided to put the final nail in the SLM coffin by eliminating the distribution facility.
Hence, some of the former employees of St. Louis Music are throwing a funeral/party on Saturday December 13 at the Kat Club, 1440 North Broadway, next to Shady Jack’s. Doors open at 7:00 p.m., the cover is $5 and is restricted to 21 & up. The event will feature bands whose employees are part of the SLM family, featuring The Trip Daddys, Giants in the Sky and TBA. Steve Dachroeden is leading the eulogy as well as putting together some pretty cool shit to give away, rumored to be Ampeg and Dan Armstrong shtuff and maybe some of the platinum records that have been given to the company by sponsored artists. There will be two tattoo artists and a mobile soul food unit and I believe PBR is donating beer. Hopefully I’ll have more details to come.
ANYONE can come to this; this event is for past and (until recently) present employees of St. Louis Music/Loud Technologies, as well as SLME. It is ALSO for anyone who has worked with SLM, used or admired Crate, Ampeg, Dan Armstrong, etc., as well as ANYONE who is sad to see a St. Louis company that started eighty-six years ago die.

The erection can last between 30 and 90 minutes, becoming more rigid with sexual stimulation. However, the erection does not always disappear immediately after ejaculation. If too much of the drug has been administered, priapism - an unwanted, prolonged erection that lasts for longer than three or four hours - can develop. This painful and dangerous medical condition is named for Priapus, the Greek god of procreation. It can lead to the destruction of erectile tissue if left untreated. Thankfully, this serious condition can be reversed by injecting an adrenaline-like drug into the penis. Although the hallmark feature of MDSCs is immunosuppression, emerging data reveal that the degree of immunosuppression varies among populations of MDSCs isolated from different organs, with intratumoral MDSCs being the most immunosuppressive. Interestingly, these MDSCs express greater levels of NOS2 and ARG1 than their splenic counterparts (5). ARG1 expression is mainly regulated by the STAT-6–IL-4R pathway (30). We recently correlated IL-4R expression on CD11b+/Gr-1+ with an immunosuppressive phenotype (29), and our in vitro data (Fig. 5) indicate that sildenafil down-regulates IL-4R on MDSCs. We then asked whether in vivo PDE5 inhibition reduced ARG1 and NOS2 and down-regulated IL-4R in tumor-associated MDSCs. BALB/c mice were challenged with CT26WT, and half were treated with sildenafil. Mice were killed 15 d later, and intratumoral MDSCs were obtained. Sildenafil increased cGMP (Fig. 6 A), reduced IL-4R expression (Fig. 6 B), and down-regulated NOS2 and ARG1 expression and reduced their enzymatic activity in the intratumoral MDSCs (Fig. 6, C and D). Considering that ARG1 and NOS2 are key enzymes in MDSC suppressive pathways (8, 31), these findings support the hypothesis that PDE5 inhibition is a novel pharmacologic approach to regulate MDSC-mediated immunosuppressive pathways.
