On its 2007 outing, GAAME, the Brooklyn-based experimental-rock ensemble known as Aa (Big A little a) unleashes a cacophonous set filled with tribal percussion, urgent screams, and disarming synth lines (see the startling "Good Ship"). For those who think Liars' DRUM'S NOT DEAD sounds a little too poppy, this record is for you.CMJ (p.4) - "[C]hock full of trance-inducing polyrhythmic percussion, call-and-response caterwauling and transcendental vocalized/synthesized howling..."

*** RECIPIENT OF THE 2005 BEST BLUES RECORDING AWARD (Washington Area Music Association) ***BLUES MATTERS MAGAZINE, UNITED KINGDOM (April/May 2006):"If Melanie Mason had leant against the door frame of Blues Alley, crooked her finger, winked her eye and thrown back her ginger curls she could not have made a more irresistible invitation than 'Crave,' the opening track of her live CD. Hot, sultry and sexy - if Mason wasn't breathless at the finish, the audience must have been. The 14 tracks on 'Live At Blues Alley' are split between six originals, seven covers and one hybrid, 'Born In The Country.' As is usual with artists of this calibre, her own songs fit far more snugly than someone else's. The aforementioned 'Crave' and 'Mississippi Blues' are a natural product of her own sensuality...Melanie Mason is no slouch on lead guitar and the album is studded with magical moments, most notably on 'Love's Slow Burn,' a song so heavy with atmosphere it comes with it's own weather warning. As the album progresses, Mason and the band fall back on some old favourites, Hendrix's 'Castles Made Of Sand' and Robert Johnson's 'Crossroads. ' Fittingly, the album finishes as it began, with a fabulous Melanie Mason original, 'Gospel By The River. '" -Michael Mee, bluesmatters BLUES REVUE MAGAZINE, USA (October/November 2005):"Melanie Mason doesn't stake her claim on her sultry looks; instead, she puts her sturdy guitar and vocals front and center. On her latest album, 'Live at Blues Alley,' she also shows she knows how to work a hook in her favor: Tracks such as 'Work Your Magic' do their stuff simply and effectively, and 'Crave,' with Mason's breathy vocal, is a radio single waiting to happen. Not shy about big covers, she tackles John Lee Hooker's 'I'm in the Mood,' cranking her feminine wiles to the max to make it her own. Elsewhere she bites ...

Gaame CD music
$9.35
Going into 1985, Pacific Northwest all-age venues were almost non-existent and only a handful of clubs booked original rock. As soon as one club opened, another met its untimely demise. A teen dance ordinance and a gig postering ban loomed large on the political horizon and the local music scene was pretty much given up for dead. But hidden away in garages and basements, groups practiced their original songs. Geographically isolated and unconstrained by any conformity of success, a rock group was free to develop on its own terms. And sometimes if a band broke enough guitar strings, drum sticks and rules along the way, they managed to step past their influences and to find their own individual sound.This is the sound of Variant Cause. WHAT CRITICS SAID ABOUT EXCAVATING VOLUME 1"By 1986, hard rock in Seattle -- at least the stuff getting noticed elsewhere -- was starting to sludge like Flipper crossed with the Birthday Party (or maybe Black Sabbath crossed with Led Zeppelin in bands' dreams), and that's not where Variant Cause were at either . . . Their just-compiled album rocks some dark-and-spooky carnival-goth slime, some psychobilly goo-goo muck, some proto-techno jungle drums . . . and a great song called "She's A Moving Violation" that dedicates surf guitar explosions and metal screeches and trippy garage organs to someone's backfield in motion. And it all has a goofball bounce to it that would have scared most grungesters back to their heroin dens." --- Chuck Eddy, Paper Thin Walls Sept 2006" . . my first impression was dead wrong. Definitely not hard rock or grunge, "Excavating: Volume I" is instead a collection of eccentric rockers, ranging from throbbing, dance rhythm songs not unlike David Bowie's later material to hip alternative rockers that bring to mind bands like King Crimson, Blue Oyster Cult and Devo (yes, I said Devo). It's a fun and fascinating ride, with the band showcasing original songwriting and admirable musicianship while the production sounds fresh and near perfect."--- R. Scott Bolton, RoughEdge Jan 2008'Tunes like "She's a Moving Violation," "Right Now She's Not" and "Life in the Wind" sound like the love children of Thin Lizzy and Devo; shockingly, it for the most part works. Part of it's due to Jan Gregor's appealing voice, but most of it is due to the group's unerring accuracy with hooks. '--- Michael Toland, High Bias Dec 2006"While the CD sleeve is quick to remind you that these forgotten oddballs once stalked the same stages as Green River, Soundgarden, and The Melvins, Variant ...
