October 27th, 2010 | No Comments

OCTOBER 30 IN PORTLAND AND OCTOBER 31 IN SEATTLE

Halloween Poster

Over the past few years a musical costume has inspired Lotus‘ Halloween performances – ranging from the ’27 Conspiracy’ night featuring songs
from artists that passed away at that age as well as full garb of each (Cobain, Morrison, Pig Pen, Hendrix, Brian
Jones) – to last year’s David Bowie tribute which had each member adorned in the get-up of a different era Bowie.

This year Lotus presents two Halloween themes, taking place on 10/30 in Portland, OR at the Roseland Theatre and
10/31 in Seattle, WA at the Showbox at the Market. For Devil’s Night, Lotus are honoring the 40th anniversary of
the classic album Paranoid by Black Sabbath.

And for Seattle’s show on Halloween proper the band will be paying tribute to some of the music that has arisen
from Video Games.

The Staxx Brothers: Very Cool Zombie Video

October 26th, 2010 | No Comments

GEORGE ROMERO JUST POPPED A CHUBBY!

Seattle’s super sweet funk-rock-a-nauts The Staxx Brothers bring their “Phone Booth Graveyard Trilogy” to a close with a video that harks back to the days of “Thriller” and quality concept visual accompaniment. “Warpath” is a brand new track and the future leadoff cut from the band’s forthcoming third album. Grab some popcorn, a sharp object or two and plenty of reloads for your heater (The Staquelettes can’t be the only ones packing steel – though the honeydips do rock it Pam Grier style here!) and enjoy this feast of gore ‘n’ grooves just in time for Halloween.

If you missed parts one and two of the Trilogy check ‘em out here and here.

Angeles to Santa Fe, across the Mohave Desert, tracing the lines of Route 66, Â“the Mother Road,Â” and then by
chartered motor-coach to the Painted Desert, the Petrified Forest, Winslow, AZ and the Grand Canyon, before re-

photographer Michael Wilson and naturalist Lynn Neal.

Masters of Reality: New Album US Dates, UK Tour w/ The Cult

October 13th, 2010 | No Comments

HUGELY INFLUENTIAL BAND RETURNS WITH KILLER NEW RECORD

“Although Chris Goss is probably best known for his production/engineering talents (having worked with UNKLE, Stone Temple Pilots and, most extensively, Kyuss and Queens Of The Stone Age), since the late 80s, he has been issuing albums as the leader of Masters Of Reality.” – Billboard

“A study in Goss’ brand of desert-rock weirdness, a kind of bad-acid-trip storyboard that makes you believe you’re in a German expressionist production of Alice In Wonderland and you can’t blink or else the pod people will erase your soul.” – Magnet

“What knocks you back on your heels with Pine/Cross Dover is how much this band still sounds like no one else and how much others have lifted from them. Masters of Reality aren’t trying to emulate any of their ancestors but in their veins flows the same viscous fluids that pumped through prime Deep Purple, Television, Grand Funk Railroad, Cream and the like.” – Dirty Impound

Masters’ Chris Goss

For nearly 20 years, the intermittent and somewhat reclusive collaborative musical efforts of Chris Goss and John Leamy collectively known as the avant-renegade rockers Masters of Reality (a relationship that began with Leamy painting the cover of their very first Masters album), have influenced the face and character of rock and roll music around the world. And that tradition continues with Pine/Cross Dover (released October 12 in the U.S.).

Check out the lead-off track “King Richard TLH” here.

On the band’s brand new, two-headed beast of a full-length recording, the group pits the finer elements of the Mahavishnu Orchestra and Public Image Limited against each other for a Masters of Reality album that rocks, rolls, and grooves like one devilish son of a gun. Joining Goss and Leamy are a host of special guests, including Eagles of Death Metal bassist Brian O’Connor and guitarist Dave Catching, Merle Jagger guitarist Mark Christian, background singers Shawnee Smith and Missi Pyle, as well as former Queens of the Stone Age guitarist Brendon McNichol.

Hot Rize: Free Download of First New Music in 20 Years

October 6th, 2010 | No Comments

U.S. TOUR BEGINS OCTOBER 28

Hot Rize

Hot Rize has reunited for
their first US tour in over a decade, including recent high-profile performances at Bonnaroo and Telluride. The band
has recorded new music for the first time in 20 years, including Â“Diamond JoeÂ” and a rearrangement of Â“Wichita
Lineman,Â” both available for free through HotRize.com. Click
here to download
“Diamond Joe”.

Â“The world is ready for a revisit from Hot Rize,Â” says banjo player Pete Wernick, who launched the band in
1978 with Tim O’Brien (mandolin, fiddle, lead vocals) and Nick Forster (electric bass, vocals) and
guitarist Charles Sawtelle. Â“In the rare times we’ve reunited for one-off performances, we’ve seen a level
of enthusiasm that’s been hard to ignore.Â” Following the untimely passing of Sawtelle in 1999, the quartet
reorganized in 2002 with Grammy winner and five-time IBMA Guitarist of the Year, Bryan Sutton. Â“I’m so
happy to be playing with Hot Rize. I’ve been a fan since seeing them as a kid when they came through North
Carolina,Â” adds Sutton. Â“It’s a joy to share the music.Â”

Â“A first, the four of us set out to play a summer’s worth of gigs – that was all we had committed to,Â” says Forster.
Â“But we kept going, playing everywhere we could. We grew up together and created music we’re really proud of –
over 100 recorded songs, mostly original or new arrangements of traditional music. Now – 32 years later – we’ve all
evolved as musicians, but we still have the Hot Rize sound; something only the four of us can make, something
Bryan is now a part of.Â”

Oct 28 Berkeley, CA The Freight
Oct 29 Seattle, WA Benaroya Hall

Oct 30 Portland, OR Aladdin Theater
