Live at freaking CLUB PARADISE in Memphis! Also Live In Los Angeles!Â
In 1965, in the face of social unrest, legendary Memphis label Stax Records put on two pulsating shows at the 5-4 Ballroom in Los Angeles, featuring Rufus Thomas, Booker T. & the M.G.'s, William Bell, Carla Thomas, Wilson Pickett and more. 60 years later the recordings - newly mastered by Joe Tarantino with lacquers cut by Jeff Powell at Take Out Vinyl - have been collected with a bonus set of mostly unreleased performances recorded at Club Paradise, Memphis to form Stax Revue: Live In '65! 2 LP set with board jacket.
Great to hear Booker T & The MGs and the other Stax stars cooking in a small club, and Rufus Thomas putting on a show. Plus Wendy Rene's classic Bar-B-Q live at Club Paradise! IS THERE MORE? We gotta know!
Plus Carla, The Astors, William Bell, Mad Lads, Mar-Keys, Wilson Pickett and David Porter. Holy Moley!
A must for Stax Fans!

Completely bonkers girl punkers on City Slang! Like Sleaford Mods decided to rock the fuck out. But they're female and they are PISSED.Â
"Who Let The Dogs Out" is the debut album from Brighton based noise-punk duo Lambrini Girls. Recorded with Gilla Band's Daniel Fox with mixing by Seth Manchester (Mdou Moctar/ Battles / Model/ Actriz),"Who Let The Dogs Out" bottles everything wrong with the modern world and shakes it up. If peppering political songs with humour is like sticking a sparkler in some bread, then "Who Let The Dogs Out" is like a fireworks display in the factory itself: strange, dangerous, exciting.

RIP Narita-san... all time ripping guitar highway star!
High Rise's third album, 1992's Dispersion, kept the group's in-the-red intensity while pushing into new directions. Less grounded in speed, Nanjo along with drummer Dr. Euro build powerful, dynamic riffs that swing with crushing levels of heaviness. Slower pieces rife with blues infused tension appear alongside dissonant no wave inflected passages and rumbling biker rave-ups. All of which provide Narita with the room to create one of rock guitars most compelling high wire spectacles. Throughout the album he creates dizzying torrents of notes with a precision, control and endless inventiveness that crackles with chaotic energy.
