The Wasteland Kings |
The Wasteland Kings are a band of weirdos, miss-fits, and the kind of people you avoid while walking to the 7-11. They bring their full-on Americana from La Grande, Oregon but, like the band, everything comes with a twist. There is no genre they stick to, and their sound ranges from folk, to punk, to blues, and to reggae. Be sure to catch there latest self-produced record here. It's influential, demented, and sure to satisfy.

Transmissionary Six
"The Dangling Electrified Boy" from the CD
Cosmonautical |
The Transmissionary six is the ever-evolving indie-downtempo project fronted by songwriters Terri Moeller and Paul Austin. Their latest record "Cosmonautical" is a fabulously moody journey as through the viens of a gothy, country-girl wristcutter. That may seem strange but the image fits with the mood of The Transmissionary Six. Moeller and Austin pull no stops in bringing in as many collaborators as your headphones can handle, and the result is an grim, haunting album that is impossible to stop listening to. Catch it here.
Band members:
Terri Moeller- vocals, drums!!! and percussion
Paul Austin- guitar, bass, contraptions and junk
Jon Hyde- pedal steel, piano, etc. backup vocals
And the contributions of: Graig Markel, Daniel G. Harmann, Michael Wells, and Chris Eckman
