Th’ Legendary Shack Shakers And The Limbs – “Better Than: Sunday Morning Mass”
“Down through the ages many have tried to preach the gospel from the stage. The key word being “preach.” For such a tactic to be effective, you have to also be a believer, and believing is the main conceits behind Th’ Legendary Shack Shakers and its frontman J.D. Wilkes. Scorching the country with it’s hell-bent barbed wire gospel tunes, Wilkes and company have created a pulpit from which their message could flatten even the most bound-for-leather tough.
The word “believe” is also one of the key phrases used throughout the documentary Seven Signs, the brainchild of Wilkes, which played before the music on Tuesday night. An examination of his southern roots, and the music it breeds, Wilkes’s documentary focused mostly on those musicians who have fallen through the cracks, or have been left behind by trends currently dry-humping the music industry. Within this is also a look at how the gospel, in its purest form, free from evangelical constraints, can sometimes influence some of the strangest, most inspiring, music.
Following the documentary, and the rousing ovation it received, was the Limbs, a local outfit led by John Mazzucco. Armed with a guitar and a drum set up out of some demonic marching band, Mazzucco began the set with a crunch that never stopped. While relying on so little, Mazzucco somehow managed to sound like (and I know this will be hard to swallow) a mixture of Daniel Johnston and ZZ Top. Of course this kind of thing can easily break down into novelty, but Mazzucco held it together with a charm and presence that made you forget that he’d lost the beat more than a couple times. Finishing off his set, with the crowd clamoring for more, Mazzucco played a number that was so fierce that for a second I believed that Sabbath was a one man band.
Th’ Legendary Shack Shakers have stage show that blows most other acts out of the water. On tour with new guitarist Duane Denison (formerly of punk titans the Jesus Lizard), the group brought to mind what a drunken ride through Dixie hell might sound like. With the aforementioned Wilkes at the steering wheel, both on vocals and harp, the Shack Shakers ripped through a bunch of numbers, most of which were from their latest record Swampblood. Before the last song of the night, Wilkes looked out at the crowd, thoroughly pleased that he had converted more believers, and then shot himself right back into the depths.”

“Faun Fables Craft New Drag City EP”
“Faun Fables Craft New Drag City EP, Hit the Road”
“Faun Fables tend to do things a little differently, so expect something slightly out of the ordinary when they issue their A Table Forgotten EP July 22 on Drag City. Co-produced by Nurse With Wound’s Matt Waldron and containing a tune co-written with Björk collaborator Valgeir Sigur∂sson, the four-song set is apparently “an invitation to return to our kitchens and homes with reverence, to enjoy a largely overlooked sanctuary in the modern age.” Life, meet art, or something.”

Six Questions For … The Moaners
Chapel Hill, NC’s the Moaners was recently interviewed by David Malitz of the Washington Post
Six Questions For … The Moaners
“If Sleater-Kinney and Mary Timony had a baby named Lightning Johnson. That’s how the Moaners are described on a flier for tonight’s show at the Black Cat and it was such a good and funny description that I’m it to use right here. The North Carolina duo – Melissa Swingle on vocals and guitar, Laura King on drums – is certainly informed by the post-riot grrl indie-rock sounds of S-K and Timony’s sorely overlooked ‘90s band, Helium. But the Moaners are a blues band as much as an indie band, with Swingle’s slide guitar and Southern drawl giving the songs a distinctive Delta feel.[...]”
