Geronimo's vocals are a marriage of Karen O and Toni Basil. The twang of Andrew Scarborough's guitar is evenly matched with the tight drumming of Michael Rudes. The A-side is tenacious, but just when you think you have this band pegged as another lo-fi beach band, they turn you on your ear with the flip side of the disc, "Shot on the Spot.” As if they were blown straight off the wind-swept ponderosa of a Sergio Leone flick, Raw Geronimo deliver their own spaghetti western strut. Laena's sultry lyrics hypnotize, a fine effect, while her bandmates synthesize ...

Most recognized for his work in southern rock quintet Ponderosa, songwriter Kalen Nash has announced the release for his solo debut, Ukred , this summer.

In one of those alarming musical landmarks that reminds you that you might be getting on a bit, it’s now seventeen years since the release of ‘Maxinquaye’, Tricky’s debut album. The genre-defining monument to trip-hop and outlet for all that seethes in the dark Bristolian heart was Mercury Prize nominated when it came out in 1995 – but it lost out to trip-hop’s other creative peak, Portishead’s ‘Dummy’. Despite being denied the accolade, the album’s intoxicating reputation, and the mercurial presence of its creator Tricky, is enough to draw a capacity crowd to the Manchester Academy ...

And while that obviously didn’t happen, they did [...]

Over the years, Ponderosa has developed an energetic live presence. Watch their entire SXSW set at the Paste Party in Austin.

My usual plodding pace of posts has been slowed even more recently by several factors. First, immediately after Wardell Quezergue's passing, I was asked to do a short piece for OffBeat on a few of his productions I think are important, or, at least, revealing of his talent. That should appear in the October issue as a part of their feature on the man. After I finished that, it was time for the Ponderosa Stomp in New Orleans. Last weekend, I spent two days at the record show diggin' boxes and gabbing with fellow geeks from all over, and ...
