Fans, friends and family we need your skill. We are looking for some help drawin’ up our mascot-like Carrion Crow. Think Eddie from Iron Maiden. Please help us. We can use drawings, paintings, graphic designs, ect., black & white or color. We would be grateful for anything. We aren’t looking for one piece to use exclusively; we want to use it all! We are going to need art for fliers, posters, t-shirts, logos, websites… on and on. We already owe a number of people large amounts of money, so we can’t afford to pay you in $, but we have much love to shell out. All art used will be credited and hailed by our followers. So if you are interested in getting your shit out there, see the Crow description below and email us at thecarrionsmusic@gmail.com.
The Carrion Crow. Ruffled, ornery, disheveled, stubborn, The Charles Bukowski of crows. And holding a heart.
We had to squeeze out a single before Steve K. left on his world tour with Dead Meadow. Night one went as planned. Being surrounded by Steve K's envious vintage toy collection, we laid down the bass and drums, absorbed in the old magic the children focused on these relics.
Night two Cheryl rocked the guitar tracks. First take... she claims. Ha ha. Show off.
Tonight we summon the voices of our demons and angels.
This jam shall be known to the world as Stars (sunshine everyday)
For a teaser check out Cheryl's prototype Stars video. Note: the track on the video is from a practice recording and not apart of the Kille Sessions.
The Carrions is a band consisting of old friends and three fourths of the long time LA scene shoegaze band TskTsk.
Guitarist and main songwriter Cheryl Lyndsey, who the LA Weekly heralded as "One of LA's Best," has been doing time for the past years as touring guitarist for the Breeders, while both Cheryl and bassist Sean Agopian have performed in Exene Cervenka's (of legendary LA band X) acoustic band, debuting songs from her latest solo album. Joined by explosive drummer Steve DeLuca and Michele Lane on keys and vox, the band has been working on a debut album that was finished in 2012.
Their new debut album "A New Level of Neon" was produced by Steve Kille and mixed by Dave Schiffman (Red Hot Chilli Peppers, BRMC, Tom Petty). It's a mix of what they themselves call "Psychedelic Love Metal" mixed with some sweet pop elements and catchy basslines on tracks like "I Feel Alive" and catchy 90's feels on "Sunshine Everyday".
We are happy to make it now available through Xemu Records for digital download on iTunes!
