Live At Permanent Records

    During the holidays of 2023, Brigid Dawson and I got together at my house in Los Angeles and started transcribing a nice list of songs. Some new some very old that I’ve never been played live ever and put together a holiday set list which we performed two nights in a row at Permanent Records Roadhouse in Los Angeles and did a bit of it at a charity event at the Lodge Room.

    Seven tunings later… It was a lot of fun and there was a lot of libation and celebration. We surrounded ourselves with good friends and came up with this charming off kilter set of recordings. I think they capture the casual energy of the evening in the mood of the crowd.

    Hope you enjoy.

    Posh Swat

      Posh Swat, an all percussion improvisation album with John Dwyer, Ryan Sawyer & Andres Renteria. Trap kit, Hand percussion, homemade percussion instruments and electronic percussion over flow here with extra weirdness. Sick pop rhythms grinding thru the wasteland. Sand in your hair and bugs in your teeth. Hand on your knife, knife in your sheath. Grimy bass burps thru a fried stack. And the crack of the snare is a mighty pink smack. Bells, whistles conga and vibes. This is a drug record. One thousand times.

      For fans of Niagra, Black Pus, Container, Bruce Ditmas and all things beat driven and drum craven. 

      STAFF COMMENTS

      Barry says: You never expect John Dwyer to stay still for too long, but I really didn't expect his foray with Ryan Sawyer & Andres Renteria to be quite this *drummy*. It's a beautifully expressive and brilliantly organic sounding suite of rhythms punctuated with incidental synth stabs and jagged groove. Unsurprisingly inventive and unique.

      Shit And Shine

      Scenic Farm

        Buckwild Texan sound mangler, peyote-rock connoisseur and general Lord of the Freaks: Shit and Shine return to Rock Is Hell - home of the legendary "Le Grand Larence Prix" album from 2011 - with the brand spanking new banger "Scenic Farm'. Spread over two heaving discs, the main man Craig Clouse has once again proved how up there he is right now as a producer, slaying all in his path and showing how far you can really take this shit. It's all right here - from the snare driven Schifrin funk of "Camino Real" to the growling acid of "Whaxaxaxki" via the urban sizzurp of "Off The Wall" and that's just the first side. Take the full ride my friend. Glistening 808's, samples of spoken word, breaks that glitch and split into revealing grooves you had no idea were even there, a smattering of kosmich, total distortion overload, a link up with EVOL and a re-do of Pet Brick too. It's all here. Unfiltered and raw. Recommended.
