playing at Oakland’s Stork Club with Greg Ashley and the Passionistas August 17th

From Chicago, the long defunct Happy Supply. Why pick a band that no longer exists as the MySpace Page of the WeeK? Because your band stinks, o.k., and Ian (who went on to be in the Pony’s and the extremely awesome Submarine Races) put up some demo versions of songs never before available.

Enjoy!

Omewenne.

Check out the songs/demos posted. Recorded in the mid-90’s by Joe Goldring (Touched By A Janitor, Wade) featuring Michael Richard (Jack’s Loss) Carolyn Engelman (Chamber Strings) and Tom Marzella (Hard Place, Mon Cousin Belge). The incomperable Omewenne does the impossible. She makes beautiful, intelligent music that was often described as Gothic. Gothic is not quite an appropriate label, her music has as much in common with classical and opera as it does with Nico and punk. Omewenne currently resides in the U.K. where she is composing her memorable, haunting compositions. This music just needs exposure, the kids out there love it. I witnessed it on tour with Omewenne opening for Rozz William’s and Eva O’s wonderfully demented Shadow Project. Thousands of gothic kids cheering in adoration with, as always when performing with Omewenne, all of the heavily art-damaged kids up front.

Jeremy Smears is in love with this band right now. The Units were an early New Wave/Synthpunk band founded in San Francisco in 1978 and existing until 1984. Primary members were Scott Ryser and Rachel Webber.
