DAVID NANCE is nothing if not prolific. Over the course of the past six years, the Omaha, NE musician has released three full-length albums for labels Grapefruit and Ba Da Bing, a 7-inch, numerous cassettes, CDRs and unlicensed “cover albums” of artists like Lou Reed, The Beatles, Rolling Stones and Doug Sahm. His latest full-length is credited to the ‘David Nance Group’ and features Nance alongside his recent hot live band of fellow Omaha musicians; guitarist Jim Schroeder, bassist Tom May and drummer Kevin Donahue. Appropriately, the new album is called ‘Peaced and Slightly Pulverized’ as the sounds therein are alternatingly tender & brusque. Nance has an enviable way of conveying intensity and pathos in his music without necessarily resorting to clicking on a distortion pedal, instead relying on the build-up and tension from the interplay of his bandmates with his cracked, impassioned wail. There’s also plenty of fuzz and distortion too, from the anthemic ‘Poison’ with its fuzzed-out guitar riff that leans into a Crazy-Horsian guitar maelstrom and white-hot solo, to ‘Ham Sandwich’; a blisteringly frantic rant about a lunchtime torment – uncomfortable in its directness. Respite comes with ‘110 Blues’s languid late-night desert psychedelia, and side one closes with the epic seven and a half minute ‘Amethyst’, expanded & jammed upon from 2017’s Richie Records single into an emotional odyssey with Nance & Schroeder strangling their guitars into a twin-guitar, barbed-wire duel. The album’s centerpiece is ‘In Her Kingdom’, an emotive ballad that fades into view with a plaintive guitar strum, and over seven minutes ebbs and flows with a rising tide of swelling guitars, it’s riffs gilding the melody & adding flecks of gold to Nance’s tale of poverty and grace. Alternately, ‘When I Saw You Last Night’ stalks the night like a predator, finally finding its prey two and a half minutes in with a stinging, blood-drenched guitar solo. The album closes with ‘Prophet’s Prot’s biting commentary on false idolatry that again utilises the group’s not-so-secret weaponry of Nance and Schroeder’s six-string simpatico to bring the listener home. ‘Peaced and Slightly Pulversized’ is out now on Trouble In Mind.

YERBA MANSA consists of Edwin Stevens (Irma Vep, Sex Hands, Klaus Kinski etc) and Andrew Cheetham (ABC trio, Birchall/Cheetham duo etc), two of UK’s most prolific purveyors of raging, outer-limits rock-ism. Both members of free-rock army Desmadrados Soldados de Ventura as well as countless other projects, they take a similar blueprint for their head-to-head skyscraping duo, only with a singularity of heavy chord chug that aligns them with Gown or even Michael Flower & Chris Corsano. Sizzling, stifling and ever so slightly ear-scraping, Yerba Mansa is a must for any lover of untamed guitars. 'Untilted' LP out now on Deep Distance. Forthcoming LP "The Cleaner" to come this year!

MÄDCHEN 84 are an Anglo German group who include Thomas on alto sax and vocals, Richard on guitar, Simon on Bass and Stefano on Drums. They play a twisted, noisy, jazzy rock and roll with spontaneous moments of joyful clarity. Also known for their cowbell orchestras and slide whistle monologues, they are currently performing songs and sketches from their new album 'Girls Four and Eighty'. M84 are an experiment in making music shaped sounds.... the squeal of Thomas' sax, the thud of Stefano's drum, the rubber of Simon's bass, the shudder or Richard's guitar!
