Johhny Marr is coming to the Wonder Ballroom on December 10th. Tune into XRAY.fm for chances to win tickets to this event!
More information can be found here.
The supple, ringing guitars of Johnny Marr helped establish the Smiths among the most acclaimed and enduring bands of the 1980s. Born John Maher in Manchester, England, on October 31, 1963, he played in such little-known groups as Sister Ray and Freaky Party before forming the Smiths with singer Morrissey in 1982. In the years to follow they emerged among Britain's most successful acts, but in 1987, following sessions for the LP Strangeways, Here We Come, Marr dissolved the group, claiming their musical approach had gone stale.
In the wake of the Smiths' demise, he made cameo appearances on records by the likes of Talking Heads and Kirsty MacColl before joining Matt Johnson's The The for 1989's Mind Bomb. Marr also teamed with New Order's Bernard Sumner and Pet Shop Boys' Neil Tennant in the alternative supergroup Electronic, scoring a hit with the single "Getting Away With It." Apart from a handful of guest appearances, he kept a relatively low profile during the 1990s, most notably lending his talents to The The's 1993 effort Dusk and Electronic's long-awaited sophomore record, 1996's Raise the Pressure.
Marr returned to music three years later on Electronic's third album, Twisted Tenderness, which wasn't released in the U.S. until fall 2000. He also spent time working with his new band, the Healers, playing dates across England. The next few years saw a time of redefinition and reflection for Marr. He finally assembled his Healers with ex-Kula Shaker bass man Alonza Bevan and Ringo Starr's drumming son, Zak Starkey, in 2002; a deal with ARTISTdirect's iMusic followed before the end of the year. Fans of this legendary guitarist were treated to Marr's proper singing debut in early 2003 with the release of Boomslang. In 2007 Marr appeared on the Washington band Modest Mouse's album, We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank, and toured with them as a member.
Hooded Fang opens the show:
citizens are rich in culture, even if they're materially poor, huddling together for warmth and entertainment as the electricity flickers on and off.
Of course, if you subscribe to the old say that the future is already here but not evenly distributed, you might see that as the world that Hooded Fang are in now, exercising their
community spirit while hanging out in the wasteland with impromptu streetcorner boozebag singalongs and sweaty, claustrophobic basement shows.
With a stable lineup, the band has returned to the studio with increased coherence and confidence. Gravez is a logical progression from Tosta Mista's bold step sideways, presenting a live-off-the-floor feel that's scrappy and direct but without too many layers of gunk, finding a balance that's like The Feelies' version of Alien Lanes. Mixing together home recordings with the results of some time spent at Ian Gomes' Crawford Street Recording Co., the album contains its share of sock-hop summer jams and ends with the lean, groovy "Genes", which just might be pointing the way ahead to the next phase.
Emerging fully-formed from the desolate heart of Central Florida,
Roadkill Ghost Choir make unsettling, powerful American rock, Tom Petty
by way of Radiohead and Cormac McCarthy. Set against Kiffy Meyer’s
ghostly steel pedal, singer and main songwriter Andrew Shepard
triumphantly conjures an allegorical American landscape of drifters,
specters and violent saints. Andrew’s brothers Maxx (drums) and Zach
(bass) Shepard round out the rhythm section, and Stephen Garza handles
lead guitar.
The band released their debut EP ‘Quiet Light’ in 2013 in the midst of a
touring run that saw them opening for Band of Horses and 2013 festival
slots at New York’s Governor’s Ball, Austin City Limits and Shaky Knees
in Atlanta, GA. In January 2014 the band was invited to perform on the
David Letterman Show, where they performed standout track “Beggar’s
Guild.” Their debut full-length, recorded in Athens, Georgia and in
their home studio in Deland, Florida with producer Doug Boehm, will be
out later this year.
Listen for an interview with the band on XRAY's own Hooray For Tuesday on December 9th, including a chance to win a copy of their debut album In Tongues.
