Fetchin Bones - Philadelphia 1989

Chestnut Cabaret

Philadelphia, PA

Sept. 7, 1989

audience recording (sound quality: VG+; excellent sound for an audie; transfer from the master tape)
   

ROB SEZ: Fetchin Bones is another North Carolina band that had a great thing going, got signed to a major label, but was too far ahead of the curve to catch on. Lead singer Hope Nicholls has one of the most compelling voices in alt rock. By the time loud guitar bands became all the rage in the early 90’s, it was too late — the band had split up. Meanwhile, Charlotte music fans like me enjoyed some great shows in the mid 1980s by one of our favorite hometown groups. Fetchin Bones reunited for some live shows and a live CD-DVD release in 2007 (see photos below). Check the sample to get a taste.

SAMPLE: "Say the Word" (Philly '89)

01 I Dig You       

Modest claim to (pseudo) fame: I bummed around
with the brother of Danna, the bassist (in the hat)

02 Sticks and Stones   

03 Mr. Bad

04 Everybody Is a House       

05 Binoculars     

06 Deep Blue      

07 You're So Much      

08 (I Feel Like An) Astronaut 

09 Wine    

10 Beat the Stray        

11 Bed of Seems 

12 Love Crushing        

13 Chicken Truck

14 Spot     

15 Cross    

16 Say the Word 

17 My Sharona (The Knack cover)      

18 So Brilliant    

19 Tattood Love Boys
      (Pretenders cover)

20 Bonework

TT: 68 mins.

Redd Kross - Black Shampoo (demos)

'Show World' demos
recording date, location unknown 
circa mid 1990s
    
soundboard recordings (quality: VG++)
   

ROB SEZ: Redd Kross = the Captain Crunch of pop (sweet & crunchy). Enjoy this set of demos, with two added tracks not listed in the artwork ("Ugly Town" & "Teen Competition"). BIG THANKS to Don at the old ASH blog, but also to some kind soul at Dimeadozen and to musicruinedmylife, where this set first appeared in blogland. FYI: some RK fans think these demo performances are superior to the released masters...

Matthew & The Atlas = Matt Hegarty + several musical collaborators

  

ROB SEZ: My daughter Hannah gets the credit for my learning about Matthew & The Atlas. She discovered the group using a Spotify app that introduces you to new music based on other artists you like. Pretty cool. If you dig bands like Bon Iver, Mumford & Sons and Covenhoven, I think you’ll appreciate Matthew & The Atlas.

The band's album is Other Rivers. Go GET IT!
