THE CHARALAMBIDES were – and may very well remain, for all I know – a Houston-based band who continued well into the ‘00s after putting out a number of self-released tapes and records, as well as a much-hailed series of experimental psychedelic/folk LPs on Siltbreeze. I actually got to know the band’s Christina Carter via mail back when she was Christina-something-else, and working in a record store in Austin. She and her later-husband Tom Carter showed me a fantastic time in Houston once around 1994 or so when I was visiting on a business trip; taking me to an Indian restaurant, playing me records at their house and then drinking on the lawn at Rice University. Almost – almost – made me want to move to Houston, for about five minutes.
For years my favorite thing by them has been this 5-minute accordion instrumental that was almost a throwaway near the end of a side on their “Historic 6th Ward” LP from 1994. It’s called “Now The Day Is Over”. Let it lull you into a pleasant chin-on-hands stupor.

TRUE WEST were an early 80s Sacramento-based band conveniently (and not totally undeservingly) lumped in w/ the roots-Americana and paisley underground scenes of the time.
Their first EP from ‘83 was pretty stellar through and through, and features a cover of Pink Floyd’s “Lucifer Sam” that’ll knock you clean across the room. Just press the play button and you’ll see what I mean.

I posted the A-side of the new (and only) 45 by hott new caterwauling no-wave/garage band PRIESTS the other day; I’ll be playing the B-side on Dynamite Hemorrhage Radio Podcast #5, which I’ll try and get posted tomorrow morning.
Here’s a live shot of PRIESTS in action. From all indications, they appear to be blowing minds all over their hometown of Washington DC and the entire eastern seaboard right now.

I always thought the 1983 “Death Party” EP from THE GUN CLUB was pretty much their last gasp, and I don’t believe I’d get too many dissenters. In fact, I think it’s the best thing they did outside of their genius first album, as both the “Miami” and “The Las Vegas Story” LPs were fatally flawed.
Take a listen to this intense, wrenching bottle-blues beloved by goths, punks, rootsy Americana lovers and death cultists alike when it came out in ‘83.
Link Wray was cooler than you.
