The opening drum riff from the original track sets this solo drumkit piece in motion at a breakneck pace, gradually adding material on its way to becoming an all-out display of drumkit virtuosity. The music gradually expands to include jazz, techno, Indian, and African rhythms before reprises of the opening riff lead the piece to its ultimate conclusion."  The piece composed by Scott Edward Godin will be premiered by drumkit virtuoso and Doctoral performance candidate Ben Reimer [LINK]. The premiere of "full grown" for solo drumkit will take place on Wednesday, May 9th at 1:00 pm, Pollack Hall, McGill University School of Music, 555 Sherbrooke Street West, Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Entry is free, visit the venue website mcgill.ca [LINK] for more information. Scott Edward Godin has previously composed pieces of music inspired by the following Orange album tracks; Greyhound, Dissect, Flavor, Sweat, Orange, Cowboy and Dang with Greyhound being released on the Bien Serre compilation. links:  scottedwardgodin.com /  facebook.com...Scott-Edward... / mcgill.ca / benreimer.com/ ANDRE WILLAIMS & THE SAIDES - ONE-EYED JACK: FREE MP3 DATE: 11.APRIL.2012 GroundControlMag.com [LINK] have just posted a free mp3 download of One-Eyed Jack from the forthcoming album Night & Day by Andre Williams & The Sadies.

After a relocation to New York City in '86, the band quickly rose to prominence and infamy. Sold-out concerts and record releases were celebrated and debated in the pages of the Village Voice, Vanity Fair, and Art Forum. Pussy Galore toured across North America and throughout Europe, even making it to Japan before the band finally imploded. Now this seminal and influential punk band's catalog is back in print, many of it available as digital download for the first time ever. Each release has been remastered under the supervision of Jon Spencer himself, vinyl masters are cut directly from the original tapes, all-analog. The classic 1987 album, 'Right Now', is available now on vinyl through Shove. This, along with 1988's 'Sugarshit Sharp' EP and 1989's 'Dial M for Motherfucker' LP are available for download. Vinyl of SSS and Dial M will follow shortly and, as a special added bonus, a limited edition vinyl re-press of the original Pussy Galore debut 7" record, the 'Feel Good About Your Body' EP, will be available for Record Store Day, also through Shove. America, get ready to feel good again! On December 23rd of last year, Pussy Galore played an unannounced 15 song, 30 minute set at Maxwell's to a packed house, as part of Yo La Tengo's annual Hanukkah festival benefit. This one off 'secret' show would serve notice that one of New York City's great bands still has meaning for today. There are no further shows planned at this time."

Machine-gunning out their own brand of the great American song-book for the last 20 years, it’s some wonder they have all the energy, enthusiasm and raw power still at their disposal. But have it they do, and by the bucket-load, keeping us rapt and playing on well after two o’clock in the morning. Judah Bauer, Russell Simins, Jon Spencer; you absolutely OWNED ATP!" - thedoublenegative.co.uk "Not only the coolest band of the day, but also the loudest – by far. The final band of the day (starting at 1:30am), The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion rolled out three-quarters-of-an-hour’s worth of frenetic rock ‘n’ roll jams, punctuated by sudden stops and unexpected time signature changes. With barely a pause for breath in between tracks, Jon Spencer and his band were nihilistic and chaotic, yet impeccably tight throughout.
