ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

It can be said that wherever the good spaceship the Velvet Underground touched down, weird bands started to spring out of the soil. The Velvets appeared in the Cleveland, OH, area no less than 14 times between 1968 and 1971, and by 1973, Cleveland's Mirrors were playing the local high-school dance and saloon circuit, with a sound reminiscent of the Velvets, but also throwing in a dash of humor, some hard-rocking post-psychedelic grooves, a nod to the progressive strain current at the time, and even some avant-garde musical experimentation.

VINYL FORMAT. Two sides of psychedelic bliss-out provide the latest book end to the mighty career of The Mirrors. Recorded when Greg Ashley (singer and now Gris Gris main man) was still using a fake ID to get the latest and greatest mind twisting gonzo to come through Texas. "Patient Flowers" is a swan song if there ever was one, and still pops up in the odd Gris Gris set. For fans of Pink Floyd (Syd Barret-era) and the Electric Prunes.

Multi-instrumentalist Greg Ashley has gained acclaim and recognition as frontman of Oakland's incredible Gris Gris, a band who combine Syd-era Floyd psychedelia, VU drone and '60s garage rock. In an attempt to release all things Gris Gris, Birdman excavates Ashley's earlier works to showcase his talents in their formative stages while keeping these jewels in print. Ashley started playing with The Mirrors as a nineteen-year-old in Texas. In 2001 the band released the vinyl-only A Green Dream[ read more ]

Another Nail in the Coffin was originally released in 1989 on the tiny and doomed Resonance label -- a company so doomed, in fact, that it went out of business just months after the album's release, consigning this minor classic of Cleveland rock & roll to the dustbin of pop music history. Not permanently, however, thanks to the good folks at the defiantly indie-minded ROIR label, which reissued the album in 2004 with new liner notes and another entire album's worth of live tracks, alternate    [ read more ]
