| | Rivercity Seven Moontower Raga CD Rivercity Seven Discography of CDs
New surprises as well as tried and true material abound in the Rivercity Seven's sophomore work, 'Moontower Raga'. A shifting of focus is definitely apparent from the opening track, as well as a more introspective writing style from Robert Froman's pen. This self-produced CD shows an evolution of the band's vision to a tighter, more cohesive sound. They've left the loose energy of the rowdy bar band for a more mature sound of a band realizing the potential of the songwriting craft, as well as incorporating even more global genres, including reggae, psychedelic Indian sitar grooves, and a conga-laden world beat. This due in part to newly-joined drummer and percussionist, Keith Duble, and longtime Austin jam-band veteran bassist and celloist, Frank Kammerdiener. The intertwining guitar leads of Austin stalwart guitarists John McClane and Adam Temple punctuate Froman's vocals and Hammond organ licks. Also included in this album are several re-recorded tunes of the band's earlier style of Honky Tonk and Texas Blues (Standard Issue Blues) and a revamped studio gem done in the Spaghetti Western style (High Plains Drifter), giving 'Moontower Raga' a schizophrenic mood of differing styles of Cowboy meets Hippie, hopefully coexisting peacefully, and leaving the listener with the impression of a band on the move.

 $14.45   
After the dark and chilling themes of 2006's BLACK CADILLAC, which saw Rosanne Cash dealing with the deaths of her mother, Vivian Liberto, her father, Johnny Cash, and her stepmother, June Carter Cash -- all of whom passed within a two-year span -- one might assume that her next project would move into an even deeper level of bleakness, but with THE LIST, it's immediately clear that she has instead ...

From "Le Garage," the opening salvo on this Sunderland, England rock outfit's eponymous debut, to the album's jittery closer, "Man Ray," THE FUTUREHEADS blasts your stereo speakers right off the wall. Brandishing propulsive rhythms, nervous guitar lines, and zingy, hook-filled songs, the Futureheads blend punk, power-pop, and a quirky, sometimes zany, sensibility into an immediately appealing package. Their exuberance is evident everywhere, from the energetic melodies of "A to B" to the push-and-pull of "The City Is Here for You to Use" to their superb cover of Kate Bush's "Hounds of Love."
At first listen, the Futureheads recall other early-2000s post-punk revivalists. But while the band take notable cues from icons like XTC (particularly in their heavy, biting British accents) and Gang of Four (the revered group's Andy Gill produces numerous tracks here), they also display a penchant for unique, memorable songcraft that sets them apart from their peers. Particularly notable is the ensemble's use of complex, layered vocals (note the a cappella tune "Danger of the Water"), with harmonies and choral parts ringing out among the thunderous assault of guitars, bass, and drums. Pound for pound, THE FUTUREHEADS is tremendous fun, and marks the arrival of a band to watch.
On their self-titled full-length debut, the Futureheads turn the promise of their early EPs and singles into an almost relentlessly playful, lively, and smart album of zippy post-punk-pop. Even though shades of XTC, the Jam, and Gang of Four (whose Andy Gill produced the album) jump out at almost every turn on Futureheads, the band's chiming, precise vocal harmonies -- which sound more British Invasion than new wave -- give their sound a distinctive kick. And, while they follow in roughly the same footsteps as other post-punk/new wave renovators, like their friends Franz Ferdinand, the Futureheads sound too spazzy to be quite that fashionable; likewise, they're bouncy and danceable without being tied into the increasingly tired dance-punk sound. Futureheads includes a few songs from the 123 Nul and First Day EPs, and while the album doesn't exactly suffer from the inclusion of ...
| | Big Dixon CD (2001)
Moontower Raga songs
$15.19
Southern rock band Big Dixon was formed in August, 1995 in Spartanburg, SC. A camaraderie formed amongst the members due to the symmetry in their musical goals. It was a symbiotic relationship that formed even though all Big Dixon members were working with other bands at the time. Their common thread was they just wanted to do what comes naturally and that is play music in a ritualistic sense while concentrating on writing their own original material. Thus the four founding members - David McBee ...

| | Matt Seaberg Gemini's Many Sides CD (2007)
Moontower Raga album
$13.15
New Australian talent Matt Seaberg has sling-shot to notoriety and credibility with his debut album, GEMINI'S MANY SIDES. For an independent musician with little funding, and no industry knowledge or backing to receive national Australian airplay 2 weeks after his debut release is phenomenal.Along with producers, UK legend Paul Gomersall (Blur, Kate Bush, George Michael) and Mark Ward (OZ rock icon) Matt chose 9 songs from a catalogue of over 200 songs he has penned at the ridiculous number of gigs he has performed in recent years. Here are some of the reviews we've got for GEMINI'S MANY SIDES which has been generating an awesome amount of attention. It has led to us receiving more glossy print exposure in the coming months including US and UK publications. ****************"There's no doubt of Seaberg's songwriting ability" RAVE"...bagfuls of emotive roots-styled beats...shows many different vibes yet us centred by toiling honesty." SCENE* "...a coiling rollercoaster ride in a musical theme park...unpredictable and exceptionally individual...draws parallels with an early Ben Harper. 'Til London beats 95% of what's on radio. Trainwreck in Slow Motion could have easily been sung by Neil Finn and a huge hit." FORTE* "Matt's voice borders on a Bernard Fanning sound." ROCKSTAR MAGAZINE"Matt has certainly captured the sounds and the feel of the magic that is Byron...an ...
