Jason Seed this Friday’s 414 Music

Tune in to this Friday’s 414 Music at 5:30pm, DJ Scott Mullins will have Jason Seed live in our studio. He is a 2008 Independent Music Award Finalist(IMA). He is going to be accompanied by a viola, violin, cello, upright bass and he’ll be playing guitar.

Seed combines everything from jazz, funk and rock to samba and classical in a highly unclassifiable and danceable psychedelic stew…Seed, at times, is largely reminiscent of Frank Zappa, with off-the-wall and obscurely humorous lyrics segueing into guitar wizardry.”

Todd Lazarski, Milwaukee Shepherd Express.

Catch him at Humphrey Scottish Rite Masonic Center as part of Present Music – Danceworks on April 25th and April 26th.

The Lackloves on this Friday’s 414 Music

Tune in this Friday at 5:30pm for another 414 Music with Scott Mullins. He will have The Lackloves live in our studios. The Lackloves will be having a cd release party this Saturday, April 19th at Linneman’s Riverwest Inn at 9pm.

The Lackloves were formed in 1996 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin by Mike Jarvis of early-90’s power-pop band The Blow Pops, who enjoyed international success with the release of the classic pop albums “Charmed, I’m Sure” and “American Beauties”, both released on Get Hip Records. Originally formed as a power trio with Dedrik Bornslger on bass and Tommy D on drums, The Lackoves picked up right where the Blow Pops left off.

In 1999, Jarvis got the Lackloves into the studio and on tape. These sessions, with former Blow Pop Nick Randazzo on drums, and the addition of lead guitarist Bob Eickhoff, resulted in the now out of sight, out of print, “As Far As You Know”, the fine performances on which do well to showcase Jarvis’s Lennon/Townshend/Wilson-inspired pop gems. The disc quickly sold out of its initial pressing and can now be found only in the extensive record collections of pop aficionados worldwide.

In mid-2001, Jim McGarry of Rainbow Quartz Recordscaught wind of The Lackloves, and after hearing a few tunes, signed the band and sent them into the studio. A year later, “starcitybaby” was released on Rainbow Quartz. Recorded at Milwaukee studio Walls Have Ears, with ex-Blow Pop Jack Rice now on bass and drummer Nick Verban, the album has a fuller, more realized sound than the previous Lackloves release.

The band, now with ace Milwaukee whiz Don Moore on lead guitar, played worldwide in support of “starcitybaby”, including stints in Madrid, London (inclucing a live performane on BBC Radio), Toronto, LA, New York, Chicago, and in late 2003, Tokyo, Japan. 2003 also saw the return of original drummer Tommy D back into the fold to pound out the beat for The Lackloves second full-length platter on Rainbow Quartz Records.

Jail on this Friday’s 414 Music

Join Scott Mullins this Friday where he will have the band Jail live in our studios at 5:30pm for 414 Music.

If you don’t know, then you should; that local band called Jail who have been laying some serious cuts between the bars. Melodies short, gritty and sweet like “Pardono” which I have posted in this article as well as the one which we were playing on the station as early as last year called “Now In Stores.” Good music from some Milwaukee cats that have been at it for a few years now. Playing at places like The Cactus Club and Stonefly to name just a couple of their haunts, they’ve built a small rep around town. If you’ve been fortunate enough to see them live then you know that the sound is infectious, spontaneous and likely to start a new round on the get down. edited by Marcus Doucette.

Catch Jail Saturday, April 12th at Linneman’s in Riverwest with The Midwest Beat & Cheap Time. Also check out a cool article on them over at Express Milwaukee.
