DECEMBER 12th - Back in the woods

@brogestarck: #stonerxmas 12: Halfway through its time for an all time favorite: Pearls & Brass. 70s inspired and amazing musicianship!

Pearls & Brass is an absolutely A-MA-ZING trio from Nazareth, Pennsylvania. Probably one of my all time favorite bands.

They only did 2 albums, and I’ve absolutely no idea where they are today. There’s no website, theres no label, theres no MySpace, Twitter, Facebook page or anything. Only thing I’ve managed to find out is that apparently they stopped playing together a few years back.

What. A. Shame.

The instrumental craftsmanship combined with the unique 70’s inspired songwriting, is really something special. On their self-titled debut album its more bluesy, and on the latter “The Indian Tower” its more psych/stoner-ish, but both of them are really - in a word - breathtaking. And I’m SO annoyed that I’m probably never going to see these guys live. Their guitarist have a solo-project tho… But he will have his own post next sunday.

I obviously couldnt find anything studio-recorded on Youtube, so I tried with an audio-post. But really. Really! Trust me on this, and go and buy:

iTunes: http://itunes.apple.com/dk/album/the-indian-tower/id106207810

UPDATED: YAY! I just found at that they are actually playing 1 date in their home town in a few days! There’s hope!

Seriously. Check these guys out!

Day 14 - A song that no one would expect you to love:

Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham - Suraj Hua Madham

This tune has groove, epic passages, progression, and Alka Yagnik’s vocals are absolutely beautiful.

Day 13 - A song that is a guilty pleasure:

Boney M - Nightflight To Venus / Rasputin

Every time I listen to this tune, I create an excellent roller-disco montage in my head.

Danny Carey (TOOL) and Brann Dailor (Mastodon) play a drum duet at the 2009 “Guitar Center Drum Off Finals”. I’m pretty sure the band that’s accompanying them is VOLTO!, a jam band that Carey often plays with in L.A when he’s not touring/recording. I’d pay good money to see these guys REALLY go at it.
