Wampus Vessel

Press Release reports: Wampus Multimedia announces the release of Vessel, the new CD from Washington, D.C.-based singer-guitarist Alice Despard. Despard's songs are like New York City rock 'n' roll played on an old Harmony acoustic guitar -- like Patti Smith interpreting the work of Neil Young. Despard fuses her intuitive, poetic observations with a warm mysticism, producing sparse, intellectually muscular songs that resemble nothing so much as four-minute pop hymns. Blending the stark realism of the Velvet Underground with the oblique optimism of early R.E.M., they play as fresh and original while touching some of the most sinificant bases in modern rock.[see full story for more]- Click Here for the Full Story

Bonus features include an interview with Stan Webb and Band History/Discography.

Track Listing: Vox Pops - interviews with fans, So Tell Me, The Thrill Has Gone, Reconsider Baby, I Know You Know Me, You Are The Sweetest Little Thing/Hurt, Stan Webb's Chicken Shack Opera, Spoonful, Doctor Brown, I'd Rather Go Blind, The Daughter Of The Hillside, Stan's Blues [the DVD will hit stores on Nov 15]- Click Here for the Full Story

Small Brown LaSalle

Riot Act reports: After the disbanding of Small Brown Bike, singer Mike Reed, his wife, Katy, and original SBB drummer Dan Jaquint welded themselves together into some sort of heart and mind sharing charmingly mutated siamese triple play whiz kid. Sure thing, some of the Bike's finer qualities are present in the workings of LaSalle, but to better it all, the aggressive tendencies are coupled by sweetened pop dynamics and countering male/female vocals. "Expedition Songs", LaSalle's debut joint drops in the States and Europe early this winter on Chicago/Los Angeles based Thick Records.
