Record Highlight — Caustic Casanova

Caustic Casanova is a hard rock power trio operating out of America’s proud capital city (of rock!), Washington, DC. The CC, as they are affectionately known by their fans, has been tearing up stages and studios alike with their unique brand of diverse, heavy music since their inception on the campus of The College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia in 2005.

Caustic Casanova has gigged extensively in DC, Maryland, Virginia, Georgia, North Carolina, Delaware, New York, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts since returning to live performances in summer 2008. They have been described as “riff royalty” (Submission Magazine) who possess “…an air of optimism and freshness…that’s been lacking from the music scene for well over a decade now (Voltcase).” They recently finished second in The Deli Magazine Readers’ Poll for “Best Emerging Artist from DC/Baltimore 2010,” out of over 40 nominated artists. In summer 2011 they headlined on the big red stage at the legendary Fort Reno Summer Concert Series music festival in Washington, DC, bringing their “original brand of off-metal, slight psyche, quirky and powerful rock music” to their biggest live audience yet (DC Rock Live).  Their latest record, Someday You Will Be Proven Correct, recorded and produced by J. Robbins and mastered by Bob Weston, is now available for pre-order as a very limited 2-LP set with hand-engraved artwork etched into the 4th side of the record.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Record Highlight — Magic Box

The story of Magic Box:

Ed Anderson and Scott Tipping have been making music and mayhem together since the late ’90s, when they hosted an open mic featuring drunken jazz artists, angry poets and puppeteers.

Ed moved on to found roots rock trio Backyard Tire Fire in 2001. Through the 2000s, the band toured relentlessly, recording 5 albums and 2 EPs.

Scott went on to become a mainstay of the Chicago music scene, playing and touring with bands like Mighty Blue Kings, Peter Himmelman, The Steak House Mints and Dayna Malow.

Their paths crossed again in 2008 when Ed asked Scott to join Backyard Tire Fire on tour to round out the band’s sound. BTF’s album Good To Be, produced by Steve Berlin, saw them touring the country, headlining shows and opening for the likes of Los Lobos, Buddy Guy, ZZ Top and Cracker.

In back alleys, dank hotel rooms and a van that at least once tried to kill its masters, a new music partnership was formed, and when Backyard Tire Fire decided to take a break from touring, Scott and Ed chose to bring together some of their favorite Chicago musicians to work on new songs: Steve Gillis (drums), Scott Stevenson (keys and vocals) and Matt Thompson (bass).

The new project features songs by both Ed and Scott, staying true to the rock-and-roll tradition of BTF while transitioning into a more dynamic, harmony-oriented sound.

Record Highlight — Chuck Prophet

On Februrary 7th, Chuck Prophet returns with Temple Beautiful – a nuanced, insightful, passionate ode to San Francisco: his adopted hometown; his muse; his drug of choice…

San Francisco. It’s a great place to come and wave your freak flag or whatever you want to call it. It can suck you under. That first hit. It really does a whammy to you. And if you’re like me you can find yourself chasing the San Francisco dragon for the rest of your life. That’s what the record is about.

The record’s an unsentimental (though loving) tour of San Francisco. Made in San Francisco by San Franciscans about San Francisco. My effort to tap into the history, the weirdness, the energy and spontaneity that brought me here in the first place.” ~ Chuck Prophet

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Record Highlight — The Marble Vanity

The Marble Vanity‘s “You Can’t Step On A Rainbow” 7″ single streets January 31 on Slow Fizz Records

What you see is only natural. After punishing ears for years as CoCoComa, Bill and Lisa Roe spent the last few years building Trouble in Mind Records and putting out enough hit singles to fill a candy jukebox. Goes without saying all these contact highs awakened a few demons. They found themselves playing with kites and launching yellow balloons into the sky towards Sagittarius and soon enough Andrew from The Hipshakes jumped across the pond and found himself going from every other weekend to full custody and The Marble Vanity was a band, man. Soon Emma from Hollows turned up with a harpsichord in one hand and a flute in the other to add a bit of sparkle, Josh Berman dropped by for tea with his cornet to add a little class and then there was this monkey and he had some total Owsley shit – super kind.
