Blue Skies and a Clean Getaway
Blue Skies And A Clean Getaway: The 90's are back with a vengeance and they've brought with them all the trappings of the 80's and the 00's that were worth holding onto. Inspired girl/guy vocals over often blistering pop leaning guitar rock. These lucky 13 songs will take you around the block and back with their inspired and rocking rockness. ROCK! The first collection of original tunes from this NW power trio. They've thrown in some Cheap Trick and a little Band just so you know where they're coming from. The Valiant Arms: A Brief Chronology Eugene 1996 Diane (then Beck)-of Oswald Five-O-and Jonn Lunsford and Lisa Jackson of the Crabs record a single under the name "22 Sparkling Smiles" with Rob Jones in his garage. That single becomes the 10th release on Rob's budding Jealous Butcher label. Portland 2005 Sweetly haunted by the songs of the Crabs over the years, Rob Jones gets the idea to release a split 7" with him doing his favorite Crab song on one side and inviting Diane (now Rios) to do the same on the other. To assist, he recruits some other old Eugene friends, Kevin Walters (ex Soda Jerk guitar slinger) and Rachel Blumberg (drummer extraordinaire and overall shining star). And one fine spring morning Diane, Rachel, Rob, Kevin, and their engineering pal Adam Selzer, meet up at Type Foundry-Diane and Kevin making the trip up from Eugene and Salem respectively. They effortlessly learn and record six songs and the project grows from a 7" split single to a collaborative 10" record. They dub their glorious union The Valiant Arms and vow to rock again. Portland (a year or so later) Diane moves up to Portland, gives Rob a call, and The Valiant Arms are reactivated with a vengeance. Unfortunately, Kevin and Rachel must bow out, Kevin tied down by job/life commitments in Salem and Rachel busy trotting the globe with the likes of M.Ward and Bright Eyes. But mammoth drum-pounder and all around rock n' roll renaissance dude, Eric Jensen, steps into the breach, transforming TVA into a full tilt power pop trio. But the collaborative spirit does not die-rumors fly that the band's first album (as a three piece) will have very special guests-and Rachel agrees to stay on as the band's spiritual adviser. What about the Crab's tribute that started it all? Rob, ever the master producer, enlisted some more friends to contribute their ample talents to the project: Derek Trost played some drums and accordion, Tony Moreno added some bass and banjo, Cory Grey played some trumpet, Eric Clampitt played the pedal steel, and Adam Selzer provided a dash of mandolin. The final product is JB-060-'Swallow The Sea: The Songs Of The Crabs,' a beautifully hand silk-screened limited edition (51 copies!) lathe cut 10'. It also appears as a less limited run of specially packaged CDs, as well as a limitless digital download available soon from your favorite digital retailer. And don't forget to come out and hear the sweet strains of The Valiant Arms at a gin joint near you! Viva la Crabs! Viva la Valiant Arms!- Shop: odax

Dish It Up
Los Albertos are a six-piece ensemble of trilby adorned ska-dance protagonists who've been transmitting their hi-energy melodies to the nation since their formation in 2002. Christened by the barmaid at their debut gig, their fistful of grinning 2-tone skank with a twist of Santana has drawn attention from far beyond the pebbled beaches of their hometown Brighton, leading to regular appearances at Glastonbury and Beautiful Days festivals. Founder members Nic Tribe (Bass) and Tom Livingstone (Trumpet) formed the original line-up with Tim Herman (Alto Sax), Mark Crawford (Guitar) and Martin Andrews powering the percussion. After establishing a large and loyal local following on the Brighton circuit, Los Albertos released their first album, Los Bop, in 2004, containing floor stomping numbers Cheeky Rascal, Bossman, and Mr Chip, blueprints for their brass powered seaside ska sonics. A funked up version of the unmistakeable Grange Hill theme tune, and some soaring sax harmonies on Bei mir bist du schon, payed homage to the bands jazz and funk influences. Razor sharp compositions aside though, the band didn't want you to think they took life too seriously, hence Los Bop contained (arguably) their most bonkers song title to date: Pikey Killed My Goldfish. 2005 saw the departure of founder member Tom Livingstone. Des Crawley, previously the trumpet player with respected band Tragic Roundabout stepped into breach, to add a little swing to that Los Albertos bounce. With Chez Harper-Grimble, previously of 12 Stone Toddler and former jazz student at Chichester College, joining on Tenor sax, the band's sound was complete. Now with stereo saxophony, the band set about recording their second album Information Overload, released in 2006 with tales of festival drunkenness, psychedelic experiences at dental surgeries and calling in sick. 2006 and 2007 saw two UK tours, a four week Italian tour, plentiful festival appearances including Glastonbury and Beautiful days, headline slots at Brighton Fringe, Bath Fringe and Secret Garden, in addition to a residency at Brighton's Joogleberry. 2008 saw over 130 appearances, including as support act for the Buzzcocks, as the band continued to cement their reputation for awesome live shows fused with cheeky upbeat tomfoolery.

Released through their own label, Chief Recordings, it is their biggest, bounciest, ass-shakingly awesome album to date. All but one track was produced and engineered by Al Scott - best known for also producing the Levellers' seminal 90s No 1 album Zeitgeist. The new album demonstrates that the band are not afraid to develop their sound further, with tracks such as Phase resonating a rockier edge than previous compositions, and the laid back acoustic sound achieved on M4. The Alberts, as they are also known love their hometown, continuing to play regularly at Brighton venues despite their national commitments. They also sponsor a Sussex Sunday league football team who has, in return, named itself after the band. The band all contribute both musically and lyrically, and their ethos can perhaps be best summarized by Guitar player Mark: 'It's impossible to have a band practice that doesn't turn into a social. We have a practice on Tuesday, and call in sick on the Wednesday...' Los Albertos look forward to a busy summer of gigs and live performances. Confirmed festival appearances include Brighton Fringe Festival, Glade, Endorset and Beachdown with many more to be announced soon.- Shop: odax

Didn`t He Ramble
Der rotblonde Ire mit der charismatischen Stimme ist zurück: Glen Hansard veröffentlicht drei Jahre nach seinem Solodebüt das zweite Album unter seinem Namen. Dabei ist der Singer-Songwriter musikalisch ein Dinosaurier - seit 1990 mischt er mit seiner Band The Frames in der Musikszene Dublins mit und war zwischenzeitig im Folkrock-Duo The Swell Season aktiv. Bekannt wurde Hansard aber auch als Schauspieler in den Musikfilmen "The Commitments" und "Once", zu dem er auch den viel beachteten und preisgekrönten Soundtrack schrieb. "Didn’t He Ramble", produziert von Thomas Bartlett (The National, Sufjan Stevens) und David Odlum (Paloma Faith, Tinariwen) ist nicht nur ein persönliches, sondern auch ein sehr elegantes Album geworden - einen Anteil daran hat sicher die Mitarbeit von John Sheahan (Dubliners), Sam Beam (Iron And Wine) und Sam Amidon. Die Vinylversion erscheint mit Downloadcode.- Shop: odax
