Get your bl00b shirts ready, and make yourself some MN support paraphernalia! It’s official as of 08/08/08; Munkie Nut has reformed, and will resume playing gigs!

The current lineup reunites the three original guitarists; Dylan, James, and Jarrod. Dylan and Jarrod will resume guitar duties, while James takes over on bass.

Munkie Nut made their re-debut at the GMI production Fuck Shit Up IV, unveiling their “Secret drummer” as Tia Taitingfong of Rozlin Fair fame. The reintroduction was very successful, and the band was met with warm welcomes.

Spread the word, and show some love. Munkie Nut is back!”

Matala

Album: Matala

Email them to order.

Description: “The CD features nine original tracks, a sampling of which can be found on their myspace site. Songs cover a variety of subjects. Some are love songs, others are about frustration found in everyday life and a few are instrumental pieces.

It took about two years to come to this point, from the CD’s inception in the minds of the band members to the concrete, hard copy, which features artwork by Shook.

One of the band’s most popular tracks, “Shelter”, was written in an hour and was recorded the next day. “Leocadia” and “Saturn” were improvised live in studio. The best takes made it to the CD.

“It has a live vibe and that’s what we’re about,” says Shook. “It’s a stale idea to record without each other because you’re a rock band, and it’s about the band, and rock music especially is about unity.”

Vocals are done by ALL members. “

Cholo

mamastony — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 23:08:30 +0000

Album: Unlimited Nights And Weekends

singles $0.99 each / album $8.99 (mp3 downloads)

Description: “The melting pot that is NYC’s Cholo would seem to have all the tools needed to create an expansive sound, but instead, they have decided to stick to the basics on their sophomore release, Unlimited Nights and Weekends. Opener, “The Breaks,” misguides the listener as Fleipe F’s multi-tracked sax leans towards a free-form jazz freak-out. As it settles into a more straight-forward pop song, forgiveness looms as Rosa B’s vocals teeter on the edginess of an Exile to Guyville’s Liz Phair, while the band falls into their rhythm – a well-practiced Pavement simplicity, mixed with the innocence of 69 Love Songs-era Magnetic Fields. It’s a start but a complete album of such agi-twee becomes tiresome and monotonous.

“Blue” again highlights Rosa’s gleeful, matter-of-fact delivery but suddenly takes a wild turn as she warns, “…and the bitch goes down.” The adolescence of the project cracks a bit with the weight of those words, but the cutesiness of the rest of the album holds it up so as to not tarnish the image they are projecting. Closing epic, “Low Life [I-III],” promises something of note but delivers only a longer version of what has already been heard.

Think of pop music as a cube, six-sided and shiny. Cholo has presented to us their unique take on this cube, with one corner shaved. In the end, what we’re left with is a die that doesn’t roll.
Luc Rodgers – June 11, 2008“

Album: Cholo

singles $0.99 each / album $8.91 (mp3 downloads)

Description: “Avant Indie Rock with jangly guitars, horn arrangements, two strong male and female vocals and head swaying melodies.

The group recorded it’s self-titled debut LP “cholo” in Brooklyn, New York in late 2004 and self released it September 2005. This first recording offers an early look at a band whose shoes are starting to scuff and on the cusp of defining their sound for recordings to come.

The term cholo is used in the Peruvian context with a double meaning that is both derogatory, as in an indigenous Indian living in urban surroundings (i.e. redneck, bumpkin), as well as a half-joking term of endearment. But in essence, it is a term for the underdog, representing the negative classifications used to define people by class, race, color and/or religion.

For fans of : The Pixies, Morphine, X, Pavement, ESG, Lou Reed.”

56 Hope

Album: Good Fortunes

singles $0.99 each / album $8.99 (mp3 downloads)

or buy the cd @ CD Baby for $12.97

Description: “The root of our sound is reggae. Infused with other genre’s. Dub beats, instrumentals and whimsical lyrics that keep the groove going.

56 HOPE is not a band. It is a vibe…bigger than the four of us. It is a collaboration of ideas –musical and others. It is the manifestation of a connection of energy in the form of a melody, harmony and instrumentation. It is the effect, the result and the fruits we reap when we perform a labor of love, and our greatest compensation is the transference of this synergy to those who enjoy our music. It is a jewel that’s in our souls and it’s revealing itself.”

Mud

mamastony — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 22:26:10 +0000

Album: Yearbook

CD price: $10.00

Description: “As a fixture of the San Francisco music scene since 2001, Mud has developed a strong loyal following of fans addicted to the band’s heavy guitar riffs, infectious melodies and collection of high energy pop songs, that draw comparisons to successful crossover bands like Blondie, Green Day, and Jimmy Eat World.

Signing with San Francisco indie label Talking House Records in Fall of 2006, Mud spent most of 2007 developing material and crafting the perfect sound for the first full length album Yearbook, which is scheduled to be released on April 15th. The ability to spend time recording at the Talking House studios has made their upcoming release something to truly look forward to. Fans old and new will be surprised and pleased with Mud’s new sound — they will definitely have something to sing about.”
