Mark Lanegan Band || Listen||Watch
It’s been almost eight years since former Screaming Trees frontman Mark Lanegan released his sixth solo album, Bubblegum. But as has become customary in the nomadic Washingtonian’s 25+ year career, he spent the time collaborating with a wealth of amazing talent, including the formation of The Gutter Twins alongside Greg Dulli, and recording sessions with Belle and Sebastian’s Isobel Campbell, Dulli’s The Twilight Singers, and his former outfit Queens of the Stone Age. Lanegan is now combining the highlights of these multiple projects for his forthcoming LP, Blues Funeral.

Set for release on February 7th via 4AD, Blues Funeral was recorded in Hollywood, CA by Eleven’s Alain Johannes, and features appearances by former Eleven and Red Hot Chili Pepper drummer Jack Irons, QOTSA’s Josh Homme, and the aforementioned Greg Dulli.Consequence of Sound

The Legendary Duo ||Watch
Based on the resumes of vocalist Sean Wheeler (Throw Rag) and multi-instrumentalist Zander Schloss (Circle Jerks, the Weirdos, Joe Strummer), you’d expect a rambunctious sound emanating from the Legendary Duo, but you’d be wrong.

The twosome plays a hybrid of folk, country, pop, ragtime, bluegrass and gospel that includes all the frenzied energy and spirit of the duo’s aforementioned bands, but is executed with a soulful dash of Americana charm not often heard west of the Mississippi.
