Pressebillede - Giant Sand 2018-04-04 10:00 CEST Giant Storm pisker rockens ørkenstorm frem i VEGA VEGA og Live Nation præsenterer: Giant Sand pisker rockens ørkenstorm frem i VEGA Lørdag d. 2. juni 2018 rykker den dansk-amerikanske musikkonstellation Giant Sand ind i Lille VEGA til en lektion i ørken-rock fra pioneren Howe Gelb. Giant Sand reintroducerer deres debutalbum Valley of Rain sådan som det oprindeligt skulle have lydt ved udgivelsen i 1985. Ja, det lyder næsten som en historie fra det vilde vesten, men den er god nok. Frontmand Howe Gelb har insisteret på, at genindspille gruppens debutalbum med en helt særlig Fender 30-forstærker fra 80’erne. Tilblivelsen af det originale album er indhyllet i tågede beretninger om bandmedlemmer, der forlod bandet, en adrenalinfyldt koncert i Los Angeles, der førte til en hastigt improviseret indspilningssession og ikke mindst et indbrud i en kassevogn, som efterlod bandet uden de oprindelige optagelser. Alle disse hændelser resulterede i, at Valley of Rain ikke blev udgivet styrket af den helt særlige effekt fra Fender-forstærkeren. Det råder Gelb og co. imidlertid bod på nu ved at turnere med det gamle materiale i helt nye versioner. Med mere end 30 års erfaring har Gelb sat dybe aftryk på americana-genren. Ifølge Pitchfork har den erfarne roots-artist aldrig ”acknowledged any borders that might theoretically exist between mariachi waltzes, psychedelic guitar rock, uptown piano jazz, or dusty improvised C&W.” Giant Sands diskografi tæller hele 27 studiealbums, hvoraf det nyeste, Heartbreak Pass, udkom i 2015. Bandet er en af de tunge drenge at danse med inden for genren og har i løbet af de mange års aktivitet fået anledning til at slå pjalterne sammen med artister som PJ Harvey, Neko Case og Juliana Hatfield. Den foretagsomme gruppe startede i 80’erne som et udelukkende amerikansk band, men i starten af det nye årtusinde rekrutterede Gelb en stribe danske musikere til relanceringen af Giant Sand. Den danske tilføjelse har rødder i Gelbs privatliv, da han er gift med en dansker og har boet på skift i Arizona og Aarhus. Den enigmatiske musiker har derfor også før givet en lang række koncerter på dansk jord, både med og uden sit talstærke band. Til juni er det så Lille VEGAs tur til at lade sig erobre af de tilsandede giganter. Med som support har de Patsy’s Rats, som er ført an af Howe Gelbs datter, Indiosa Patsy Jean.

Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.

By far the most pervasive and long-lived was the revival of psychedelia, that kept recurring throughout the Eighties and the Nineties. Los Angeles had its own movement, the "Paisley Underground". Psychedelia became merely a pretext to concoct baroque, oneiric and hypnotic sounds, often with the help of keyboards and strings. Byrds-ian jangling guitars and naive melodies a` la Hollies dominate Emergency Third Rail Power Trip (feb/mar - oct 1983) by Rain Parade (1), with Matt Piucci on vocals and Dave Roback on guitar, as well as the EP Baroque Hoedown (fall 1982 - dec 1982) and the album Sixteen Tambourines (? 1983 - oct 1983) by Mike Quercio's Three O'Clock (1). Needless to say, the Paisley Underground was only the tip of the iceberg. The Dream Syndicate (12), formed by guitarists Steve Wynn and Karl Precoda and bassist Kendra Smith, acted as the natural liaison between Television (and the new wave in general) and the new generation of psychedelic rockers.

GIANT SAND (US) «Heartbreak Pass» (New West Records, Sortie: 08.05.2015)
GIANT SAND (US) «Heartbreak Pass» (New West Records, Sortie: 08.05.2015) New Album «Heartbreak Pass» out May 5th, 2015 on New West Records. The Band’s 30st anniversary. Features Past and Present Members and Friends: Jason Lytle of Grandaddy, Steve Shelley of Sonic Youth, Grant Lee Philipps, John Parish, Maggie Bjorklund, The Common Linnets, Lovely Quinces. GIANT SAND, the iconic and influential band fronted by luminary Howe Gelb, celebrates 30 years of freewheeling and ever-evolving music making on new album «Heartbreak Pass», due May 5, 2015 on New West Records. The album spans founder Gelb’s far-reaching career and mixes the rollicking nature of the band’s 1985 debut, Valley of Rain, with the dusty alt-folk, desert-rock and jazzy lounge-piano explorations of his most recent releases. "There are 3 volumes of 15 songs here representing living 2 lives for 30 years. Don’t do the math. It doesn’t figure,” explains Gelb. “The 1st volume is a loud and lucky abandon, as if there’s no choice. The 2nd volume is more heady, steady and direct, what they call Americana these days. The 3rd volume is the heart in constant turmoil from the effect of crossing the pond way too often, the blessed curse of the indie transponder." Self-produced by Gelb (producing credits include KT Tunstall and Sylvie Simmons ) the album was truly a global undertaking and made all across the world in between his ping-ponging from the desert to Europe, where he does most of his touring these days. “It first sprouted in Brussels,” Gelb reveals.

Interview: Calexico
PITCHFORK Mon:03-27-06 Interview: Calexico Story b y Jessica Sua rez The Southwest's mostly a visual place-- windswept deserts, skeletal flora, non- thermoregulatory fauna-- but Calexico's Joey Burns and John Convertino have practically trademarked the region's sound: a mix of American rhythm and Mexican instrumentation. But at their most recent New York show, as Calexico played the first few songs off their latest record, Garden Ruin, it became apparent that Calexico have dropped the trademark sound, favoring the hushed vocals and intimate lyrics of their former collaborator, Sam Beam aka Iron & Wine. Other differences started to emerge that night. Whereas, on a previous record, a line like, "Horses running off on their own, now," might have meant, "Seriously, go catch the horses," on Garden Ruin those images of the Southwest become metaphors for jealousy and the deterioration of a relationship. I spoke to Calexico the day after their two New York showcases, where, by the band's count, they played before 70 or so music journalists in a venue that holds 161 people. Pitchfork: How did you meet Sam Beam? Burns: Through Howard Greynolds of Overcoat Recordings, a mutual friend. We've known Howard for many years. We met him while he was on tour with Will Oldham, Palace Brothers. He was instrumental in getting Calexico signed to Touch & Go/Quarterstick. He had this idea for a series of collaborations, [and] when Sam rolled through Tucson, I went down and met everyone and took him to wave lab studio. We took him to get some food and we seemed to hit it off.

HOWE GELB the Coincidentalist (New West Records) “The
HOWE GELB The Coincidentalist (New West Records) “The Coincidentalist is someone who can read the coincidences but who doesn’t try to figure out their meaning. For if one tries to figure out the meaning it will be lost. The coincidences aren’t there to figure out but to point the way.” – Howe Gelb The Coincidentalist marks the New West Records debut of Howe Gelb, the freewheeling luminary whose three decades of voluminous recording with his category-busting band Giant Sand have forged a legend of Southwestern American roots-punk and international prominence. The album culminates 30 years of restless creative work by Gelb, a Pennsylvania flood evacuee who relocated to Tucson in 1972. After meeting up in 1976, Giant Sandworms began in 1980 with his close friend Rainer Ptacek, the renowned slide guitarist. That group morphed into beloved genre benders Giant Sand in 1983. Giant Sand’s incarnation in the ‘90s included Joey Burns and John Convertino, who went on to form the acclaimed Latinesque unit Calexico. Gelb says of the sources of his sunstruck music, “I always thought there was a similar attitude between Thelonious Monk, Neil Young, and Clint Eastwood, but I could never articulate why. I was drawn to those guys early -- there was something about the way they did things.” Whether as Giant Sand, Howe Gelb or any number of group rubrics (The Band of... Blacky Ranchette, Arizona Amp & Alternator, ‘Sno Angel, OP8) the shape-shifting, ever-evolving musician has issued a long run of indefinable and influential recordings ranging from punk and roots-rock to jazz, gospel and even traditional Spanish music.

MEN of ACTION MURRY HAMMOND JD WILKES TEDDY THOMPSON JASON and the SCORCHERS DB Harris (Deron Braxton to His Family) Is a Native of Birmingham, Alabama
Online Issue 5 WINTER 2008 in this issue MEN OF ACTION MURRY HAMMOND JD WILKES TEDDY THOMPSON JASON AND THE SCORCHERS DB Harris (Deron Braxton to his family) is a native of Birmingham, Alabama. He notes of his home State that “Hank Williams, Louvin Brothers, and the Maddox family had some roots there, but as far as what got me first it was probably bluegrass. From there it was sort of a porthole into country for me. I'm really glad I found some real key influences that turned me on to what I do now." He recorded an album Deep Dark Black having written the songs while down in Mexico and recorded it back in Alabama. He recorded the follow up Can I Return These Flowers? in Austin, Texas drawing from such talented local players as Eddie Perez to make n album that was described by one local writer as a blend of Dwight Yoakam, Chris Isaak, and The Mavericks. A fair description of the mix between the singing styles of Roy Orbison and the Bakersfield sounds of Buck Owens and Wynn Stewart. DB was doing a double marketing degree from Auburn University whikle parsuing his musical career. For his next release he added more guitars, some groovy Farfisa organ, a hint of surf pop and the result was Contagious Heartache, a concept record of sorts that looked at the trials and tribulations of heartache that was at times darker than the previous album but without losing its sense of humour. In January 2006 DB moved to Nashville, Tennessee where he recorded his latest album Country For Groovers which has just been released.
