Jeffrey Lewis & Los Bolts (NYC, Rough Trade Records) play a crazy, original mix of scuzzy urban indie-rock, literate lyrics and comic book punk, like a 21st Century mash-up of Sonic Youth, Pete Seeger and R. Crumb. Jeffrey has done tours in Europe and America and Australia and Asia and elsewhere, a few tours every year since 2001, as well as sometimes playing as the opening act for bands like the Mountain Goats, Daniel Johnston, Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks, The Fall, Pulp, Roky Erickson, The Vaselines and other luminaries. Jeffrey has released seven critically acclaimed albums on Rough Trade Records, in addition to occasional self-releases and projects on other labels (like K Records and Don Giovanni), and Jeffrey continues to self-publish his art and writing in an ongoing underground comic book series called Fuff. With current Los Bolts bandmates Brent (Moldy Peaches) Cole on drums and Mem (Cat Tatt) Pahl on bass, recent band projects include a covers album called Works by Tuli Kupferberg (1923-2010) on Don Giovanni Records, and a brand new full-length original album recorded in Nashville with producer Roger Moutenot (Yo La Tengo), with title and release date tba!
ALEX BURGER
Auteur-compositeur-interprète puisant dans la tradition de la chanson dallégeance rock québécoise, Alex Burger (ex-CaltârBateau) a offert au printemps lEP Àment donné. Au rock ndrôle groovy connotant les us de Plume et de Charlebois, Alex Burger analyse les alentours et les intérieurs dans le verbe décomplexé des fins de soirée, quand les conversations de plus en plus courtes deviennent des tits poèmes.
