New music / video / shows : Ladyscissors / Crooked Mouth / Grape Juice Plus / Ritt DeitzGreetings! We've been busy here at the Uvulittle HQ this year... 1. New Ladyscissors CD (and video) —— 1. New Ladyscissors CD (and video) Showing off their lovely vocal arrangements, the album ranges from REM-like pop to moody, hypnotic rock, a la early Velvet Underground. Beautiful female harmonies often float over crunchy guitars with evocative thoughtful lyrics that feel urgent and politically potent. And catchy. The record is catchy. Even the background vocals will get stuck in your head. It debuted at #14 on the WORT Top 30 chart!! Madison shows April 28 and May 6 -- http://ladyscissors.com for details. Here's the first video from the new album, "Hot Potato Sweet Potato" You can hear a few tunes and get your copy here: 2. New Crooked Mouth CD Third release by Chicago's The Crooked Mouth. Sharp, confident and rollicking. LoveloveloveloveSTOPlovelovelove shows off the band's new line-up to good effect. The songs are focused, intelligent and funny. The musicianship tasteful and just slightly off-kilter. The arrangements show off a playfulness that only comes with the confidence gained from hundreds and hundreds of gigs. As always, Crooked Mouth displays a strong theatrical bent as they mash up old-timer string band sounds with the drama of cabaret. You can hear a few songs and get your copy here: 3.
