The Ravenna Colt: Debut Album Ex-MMJ Guitarists New Band

February 22nd, 2010 | No Comments

The Ravenna Colt Releases Slight Spell

The Ravenna Colt

After conceiving the project over a decade ago, former My Morning Jacket guitarist Johnny Quaid is finally releasing the dreamlike, southern-flavored debut effort by The Ravenna Colt. The album, titled, Slight Spell, is now available through Removador Recordings and Solutions, the label Quaid recently co-founded with MMJ frontman Jim James.

After six years as a part of MMJ, Louisville, KY native Quaid parted amicably with the band in 2004 and headed off to California. Eventually Quaid headed back east and reacquainting himself with his roots. Fittingly, the music he has written as The Ravenna Colt reflects his style in Americana with a hint of cosmic breeze that emanates from California.

The Ravenna Colt currently includes Phil Carlson, J. Brent Stuart and Daniel T. Mohler as members, but the group has always been a shape-shifting entity with the only constant force being Quaid at the helm. This collective-like quality translates to the music as well, which has beautifully amorphous feel. The songs on Slight Spell have definitive cores, but ones that seem capable of adapting to various musicians and arrangements. Quaid has the soul of a troubadour. One can picture him with nothing but an acoustic guitar strapped to his back, traveling from town to town to share his music and his adventures.

King Khan & The Shrines: U.S. Tour

January 29th, 2010 | No Comments

KING KHAN AND THE SHRINES ANNOUNCE COMEBACK TOUR

King Khan

King Khan might rightfully be accused of attempting to earn the title of hardest working performer in show business. Following a year that saw the release of three albums and several tours of the U.S., Europe, and beyond with multiple musical outlets, Khan is bringing the celebrated psychedelic soul big band explosion King Khan & The Shrines back to North America.

The three week run of dates, which start in Atlanta and culminate at Coachella on April 18, mark their first jaunt in the States since last year’s tour in support of the domestic release of the band’s classic What Is?! album on Vice Records.

Those who have seen the band know what to expect, but to the uninitiated: be ready for a sweat soaked stage being rocked into a psychedelic oblivion as a sonic pastiche of horns, drums, bass, guitar, and organ weave a gritty soul canvas for Khan to splatter with his infectious persona.

TORTOISE SETS FEBRUARY TOUR DATES IN SUPPORT OF BEACONS OF ANCESTORSHIP

Tortoise

Tortoise, the world-renowned Chicago music pioneers, announces their first 2010 dates, hitting several cities that they didn’t get to visit in 2009. Beacons of Ancestorship is the band’s first record in over five years and continues to demonstrate their ability to push boundaries, remold their sound and yet still retain a sense of cohesion – a singular Tortoise mood/feeling/sound that is truly their own.

The band recently completed an extensive European tour where they collaborated with Cluster at the Royal Festival Hall in London, recorded an improvised BBC studio session with Colin Newman (Wire), and took part in the 10th Anniversary ATP Festival in Minehead, England.
