WEEKLY VOLCANO: MUSIC NEWS >>>
The hot tip of the morning comes from the legendary Kent Morrill of The Fabulous Wailers. What a way to start a Friday.
According to Morrill, Stonegate Pizza â€" a new spot on South Tacoma way that we’ve been hearing rumblings about for some time â€" will officially open on Saturday, Sept. 26.
And guess who’s going to be there?
That’s right. Morrill and his band will be in the house to help kick things off right, debuting a new Fabulous Wailers album in the process, Rooster Rock â€" which will be officially released on the very same day.
After seeing Stonegate first hand, and agreeing to be part of the club’s christening night, Morrill says he believes Stonegate will soon become a new “destination spot†for Tacoma. He also says there are currently discussions of a Fabulous Wailers hosted jam night on Wednesdays at Stonegate coming in the near future, though nothing has been confirmed yet.
Of the new record, Morrill explains that Rooster Rock, a title that he suggests is the band’s attempt to “coin a new musical phrase,†is a tribute of sorts to all the people who’ve influenced the Fabulous Wailers over the years, from Little Richard to Fats Domino.
Mount Eerie Tour
For two years Phil Elverum spent time behind his house, at the edge of the woods, listening into the night, listening to the wind through the trees. He heard words. The words became songs. They’re songs of impermanence, dark change, destruction, temporary blossoming, mortality, and an immense river of air tearing through the world make up the third official album by Mount Eerie, WINDâ€S POEM.
The album rests on the stone-solid production of Mount Eerie's only actual member, Elverum, recorded at various locations around his hometown of Anacortes. According to the album’s press release, “A hundred kinds of distortion, oceans of synth, and clouds of bass are the elements the 12 songs are built from, with moments of clarity occasionally revealing soft harmonies (featuring Nick Krgovich from Vancouver's NO KIDS) reverently attempting to describe a dark mystery. The album holds a large debt to the music and world of David Lynch's Twin Peaks, as well as to some of the more innovative artists on the edges of ambient, colossal Black Metal."
WIND'S POEM comes on double clear vinyl in an old-style gatefold jacket with bronze foil stamping and a pull out lyric poster, or on CD or digital.
Mount Eerie will be touring in a full band version throughout the U.S. in support of this album, which includes a stop on Nov. 25 at the Olympia all-ages club, Northern.
