Kelly’s path — and much of what inspires his brooding American rock sound — mirrors that of every lost suburban twentysomething who moved to Brooklyn in the Aughts to play in bands and work artsy jobs till the money ran out. When Kelly returned to his native Northern California in 2009, he began Oceanography as a recording project in his childhood bedroom, releasing a self-titled EP in 2011. From there, Kelly put together a live band to play several Bay Area festivals, including Mission Creek Oakland and the City of Oakland’s Art and Soul Festival, and began writing what would become his latest EP, Parachutes of Plenty. Timothy Robert Graham Timothy Robert Graham-Songwriter, producer, performer. kissey face vocals and gravel spit guitars. gorilla hands drumming and far out bass. Featuring-The Lost Boys Live Ensemble: Mike Uhlenkott-drums Mark Allen Smith-bass/harmonies Nick Lee- guitar/keys/harmonies Past playas: Andy Bangs-guitar Jase Ihler-drums Timothy Robert Graham is a five-piece rock band from Seattle, Washington. Much like David Bazan, the namesake, Timothy, writes and records for the entire band. They’ve successfully funded their kick-starter campaign, and independently released their debut album January 20th 2013. The ten-track album is titled, The Hidden Rose. Buzzmutt Chase Anthony Jesse Olswang Eric Alonzo Scott Franklin Jayson Adams As active members of San Francisco's music community, Scott Franklin, Jesse Olswang, Eric Alonzo, and Chaz Anton found in each other an instant musical connection, recording their first song together the first time the four ever found themselves in a room together. Like a chemical reaction each member a catalyst for the others creative drive. Logging in hours and hours of recordings over 2011, they have selected a batch of songs for a record to be called Static in the Minds Eye, chapter 1. Static in the Mind's Eye, Chapter 1 is the first full length album from SF's experiemental noise rock band Buzzmutt. Lyrically, The songs in this album unfold from one into the next as a cryptic tale, a modern, urban Hero's Journey. Musically, the album itself is also experienced as a journey, complete with dark and winding paths, a few thunder storms, strange characters, some pleasant surprises....and at least one or two alien beings. The journey begins from a place of shedding the past and moving forward. Themes of newness and higher awareness take us further into the story as things get more complicated; exploring ideas of language and dreams, until we are delivered at the end of the sonic adventure- perhaps, seeing and hearing things just a little differently than before. Reflected in the album, as well as in Buzzmutt's live performances, Franklin's Vocals call out to us from the ocean of sounds, offering fragments of poetry to guide the journey. Jesse and Eric's intricate and pounding rythm section allows scott and chaz to explore the elements of feedback; noise; and chaos, employing circuit bent electronics and exploring the elements of feedback all weaved within and around buzzmutt's unique style of tightly structured songs. Most of this album was recorded in early April 2011 in Emerville, CA by Varun Kejriwal. The rest of the album was recorded by Jesse Olswang at Off Deep End Studios in San Francisco, where the band pieced together and meticulously layered the richly textured sounds of the album over an 8 month period. Mastered by Varun Kejriwal. so it sounds awesome... adjusted sight is my favorite as of now. i like the effects on some of the vocals and i like how the sound hints at genres of music it never fully commits to and stays a step away from being easily compared to other things i've heard . some really well-used sound effects... and i really like how/when other vocals pop-up here and there for a second. it sounds like it would be fun to play... fun to perform. -Indolering |
