Back in 2002, deep in the Hoosier State of Indiana, a young sextet of
university rockers that go by the name John Wilkes Booze decided to
record and issue a limited-edition series dubbed Five Pillars of
Soul, which would pay tribute to artists who they felt weren't given
their full due, both during their own time and now. Their choices?
Filmmaker, writer, and recording artist Melvin Van Peebles, 20th
century boy Marc Bolan, Patty Hearst's brainwashed revolutionary SLA
alter ego "Tanya," free jazz master Albert Ayler, and conceptual
artist/singer/supposed Beatles destroyer Yoko Ono. Seeing those names
listed together, it becomes clear that the soul in question is as
much a maverick spirit as it is an electric R&B rave-up, or as the
band says in the liner notes, soul is about "letting it out without
keeping ourselves in check." Fast forward two years and that out of
print five-volume CD-R set has been condensed into a single disc by
the folks at Kill Rock Stars for the Booze's proper debut. Underneath
the high artistic concept, it's a mixed bag of Stones-y acoustic
blues and glam-ish maximum R&B chugging that is cut from the same
garage punk cloth as the "Gospel Yeh-Yeh" of the Make-Up. The Booze
are not operating a simple rock machine, though; there are saxophone
howls, electronic squeals, and film dialog samples that bring a
playful art rock mood to their songs. Meanwhile, the high-concept
part is pretty entertaining, too, especially on the less literal
tracks that keep listeners guessing just what and who all the
rambling is exactly about. If there's anything wrong with Five
Pillars of Soul, it might be that, outside of the original context,
the high-energy presentation and high-concept lyrics don't always
mesh into firm songs. The hits are more prevalent than the misses,
though, and these Pillars prove to hold up the boys of Booze well. By
moving the amplifiers into the library, John Wilkes Booze has become
the first thinking man's garage band.

We are looking for quality sites in Europe and US, to be afilliated
on. Remember, we are not in it for the creds, but for the spreading
of quality music - we just want to get our releases out to the ppl
that wants/needs it. More pre sites fills this purpose.
