Issue7.QXD 9/27/05 7:51 AM Page 6 EMILY UTNE EMILY BY RICH HORTON here’s a certain feeling you get as you unwrap the new CD of a band you’ve never heard. Sometimes it’s followed up with a 30-second listen of a few tracks, ejected, then tossed aside. Other times, there’s an album like “Congratulations” by Chariots (America, North), which didn’t leave my T stereo for days, as I absorbed the heavy and vio- lent drum beats interlaced with thick bass lines, Heavy and violent drum beats noisy guitars, background keyboards and interlaced with thick bass lines, processed vocal screams. noisy guitars, background keyboards It made me feel warm all over, reminding me of past heavies like Jesus Lizard and most of the and processed vocal screams Amphetamine Reptile catalog. Catching Chariots live show at the Triple Rock was my next revela- tion. It mimicked the recording perfectly, only the added visual of the band’s performance exploded in front of me. I saw vocalist and keyboardist Travis Bos frantically spew out each lyric as he 04 RIFT MAGAZINE Issue7.QXD 9/27/05 7:51 AM Page 7 bounced from floor to air like a grasshopper and then landed flawlessly back at his keyboard to fill in the sound with a layer of organ notes. A few days after the show, the band’s guitar play- er, Eric Odness, jetted off to live in New York. Chariots are taking it in stride, however. The guys anticipate a long-distance relationship where Odness will visit in two months for rehearsal and then a short, East-Coast tour. Bos said Chariots didn’t want to seek a replace- ment for Odness because the band’s chemistry was already set. Writing new songs could prove to be a bit more of a challenge. In the past, the whole band worked on 30- second blasts of music and then blended them togeth- er to create cohesive songs. Now, along with Bos, drummer Matt Kepler and bassist Blain Finders will partially assemble and record those spots and send them to Odness so he can work in his parts. Chariots have a new album in the works, but can’t say when it will be done. The band doesn’t want to rush it. Since Bos has made relationships with a few labels through previous bands like Song of Zarathustra, he’s confident someone will be there to put the new record out when the time comes. Troubleman Unlimited released “Congratulations,” on CD and vinyl and the label has done an excellent job of getting the album into the right hands. As for the addition of “America, North” to the band’s name, the guys explain they were forced to do it because of the gluttony of bands with Chariots in their name. Chariots elected “America, North” to fend off any confusion. For example, one of the bands using Chariots in their name is overtly Christian, which Bos and Kepler confirm they are not. The band has been nominated for a Minnesota Music Award in the punk rock category, but their sound might line up better in the hard rock category. Chariots are better described as a subgenre of the two, where the rawness of punk rock unites with the heavy sound of hard rock. Bos and Kepler say it has been difficult to define and explain their sound to people. It seems that Chariots has things pretty well fig- ured out. Finders is perfectly happy with his day job, Kepler and Bos have temporary jobs and they all agree Chariots is a good place for them. All twenty-something and Midwestern, they have no misconceptions about playing music. This is what allows them to create the music that they want to create, without compromising for the sake of a major record label or anyone else. www.chariots-music.com Issue7.QXD 9/27/05 7:51 AM Page 8 ROBERT SKORO CAMERON WITTIG BY JEN PARSHLEY ike many well-meaning parents, my mom had a dream that one of her children would become a piano prodigy.

Walker bought 2,000 acres and attempted to sculpt the Village of St. Louis Park into an industrial adjunct to Minneapolis, his medium was wood. And wood burns. The factories that Walker built in the industrial circle — the center of which is now Highway 7 and Louisiana Avenue — were made of wood. Surrounded by rail spurs, fire was a constant threat; and coupled with the financial panic of 1893, prevented the area from living up to his expectations. Sparks from the railroad set wooden bridges on fire, as well as factories and grain elevators along the rail lines. The homes Walker built for workers’ families were concentrated in south Oak Hill and built on 25-foot lots. Although the concept was supposedly to buy one lot for a house and another for a garden, early maps show them right next to each other >> CONTINUED ON PAGE 4 Factory Store Valentine’s Day TOGETHER WITH LOCALLY MADE products $5 off a purchase of $3o or more Limit one per customer.

  • Mason Jennings Is on the Road Through the End of October in Support of His Recently Released New Album, Minnesota. Named After T
    Mason Jennings is on the road through the end of October in support of his recently released new album, Minnesota. Named after the adopted home state of the musician, the nine-track work features Jennings in, perhaps, his most introspective form, but also mastering a collage-like sound that allows the man the ability to pull in a range of unique imagery and instrumentation without sacrificing his thematic arc. In short, Minnesota may be Jennings most personal and best work to date. Jambands.com sat down with Jennings on the eve of the album release and while he prepared for the bulk of the rest of the dates on his tour card. Jennings’ debut self-titled album came out when the artist was only 22 in 1997. Now 36, Minnesota resonates with a rich profound afterglow by embracing ideas about family, love, alcoholism, and the light at the end of the tunnel after a long journey through yesterday’s often bleak and diffused environment. Cautiously optimistic and somewhat settled, Jennings offers a portrait of someone who has a firm and wise grip on the delicate balance between being an engaged family man and an astute artist who develops through the years. RR: Tell me about the importance of recording this new album in Minnesota. MJ: For this record, I spent a year collecting songs. I recorded about 35 different songs. I mostly did them all by myself in my studio out here. It was definitely the most eclectic batch I’ve had. The songs were just stylistically all over the place, so I edited them way down, and went with the idea of a collage-based record where it had every song holding its own space on the record.
