Music New music discoveries - Page 9

**Nzoner** · 04-23-2006, 09:27 AM

I've recently been going all out to find new music and thought we could use a thread giving each other a head's up on new music we may not have heard of.By new I mean to you,since we have such a variance of ages here I'm sure that some of us may be aware of the artists mentioned but nonetheless I'd like to get an idea of other stuff out there.

If you'd like to add a link or copy and paste an article that'd be great.

I'm going to start with Earl Slick and I can't say enough good about his project Zig Zag.10 songs in all the project includes a few instrumentals as well as some special guest singers including David Bowie whom Earl has played with.My personal favs are the songs 1735 and Zig Zag.

Here's a little more about him.

Earl Slick: Six String Outlaw

The image of the journeyman guitarist is one of modern day rock and roll folklore. The idea of the lone gunslinger, a six string outlaw that brings their magic to all the world's stages before riding off into the sunset leaving us to wonder when they will return.

Earl Slick has been an in demand guitarist for the better part of 30 years having played on the most pivotal of albums by none other than David Bowie (David Live, Station To Station), John Lennon (Double Fantasy, Milk And Honey) and Ian Hunter (Overnight Angels). However, after years of constant touring and recording, Earl was exhausted spiritually and creatively and headed off for a much-needed break in the early 90s.

Disappearing for a few years, Earl was on the road once again with David Bowie in the summer of 2000 and has remained with the band touring numerous times and appearing on Bowie's "Live At The BBC Theatre" and "Reality" albums.

Having his creativity sparked by this recent activity, Earl began writing in earnest, the results of which produced his sterling new album "Zig Zag". Eager to talk about his first solo album in 12 years, Earl Slick graciously spoke to MusicTAP recently before finishing the first US leg of Bowie's "Reality Tour"

Explosions in the Sky

I think a lot of the prog rock types will like them pretty well, even though it's more post than prog. Anyway, very cool crescendo-based instrumentals with soaring and intricate guitar work.

Wow, check this one out. Possible prog metal release of the year!!

Eh, I don't know. They probably don't appeal to technical music freaks because they're certainly not the most technically adept instrumental band I've ever heard. That being said, I think they build some interesting textures and have a good feel for crescendo.

I agree. Instrumental bands are boring.

I did think EITS were decent until I saw them live. I filmed the show and made a DVD out of it, at the Replay Lounge in Lawrence, ks.

That said, they weren't that great. And it magnified after I tried to talk to them. (Yes I had something meaningful to say.. I'm not a groupie just wanting to hang out)

Heh. I had a similar experience with the Gourds. I actually like them okay, but I've liked them quite a bit less since I almost got into a fist fight with the banjo player one night at a show. Dude was a total asshole.

All these drunken frat kids were yelling for "Gin and Juice", and I told them to shut the **** up and let the band play what they wanted to play. The banjo player then, evidently, thinks I'm the one yelling for Gin and Juice and goes into this huge rant about it while on stage and telling me to **** off and such. I try to approach him afterwards and explain the mixup, and he continues to be a gigantic prick.
