Dust - From A Dry Camel

Sunday, a day that goes perfectly for a little more classic type of choice of music. Today we screws a bit on the clock. At the dawn of the '70s, hard rock and early heavy metal were almost completely dominated by British innovators. Dust was one of the few American bands to try picking up the gauntlet, playing a progressive brand of proto-metal that was explicitly indebted to their British contemporaries. Formed around 1968, the group featured vocalist/guitarist Richie Wise and the teenaged rhythm section of bassist Kenny Aaronson (who also doubled on slide and steel guitars) and drummer Marc Bell; plus, Kenny Kerner served as the group's lyricist, manager, and producer.

Dust released their self-titled debut album in 1971 on Neil Bogart's pre-Casablanca label Kama Sutra. The follow-up, 1972's Hard Attack, sharpened the band's edge and intensified the power of their approach; thus, it became the more sought-after of the pair by collectors interested in the roots of American metal. However, Dust would record only those two albums; Aaronson joined Stories in 1973, and Wise and Kerner became a production team, also working with Stories; the following year, they would go on to helm the first two Kiss albums. Aaronson, meanwhile, became a prolific session bassist and Bell later became part of the New York punk scene, joining up with Richard Hell & the Voidoids and then moving on to the Ramones (adopting the name Marky Ramone).

The Dust is a band that really should have a place in the disc tray or in vinyl shelf, I own the "Hard Attack" but not actually the first album. Hopefully, I run on one, where the condition of the album is good in the future.

Todays tune ”From A Dry Camel” is taken from the self titled debut album with Dust. With a double gong crashes, and From A Dry Camel launches into a kind of doomy Sabbath-riff. This is a great piece of early metal. Enjoy!

Yamato - Drummers of Japan

Yamato visited Stockholm 2 days ago.

Wadaiko Yamato 和太鼓倭　is a Japanese musical group of taiko drummers founded in 1993 by Masa Ogawa. In Japanese, the word 和太鼓 "wadaiko" translates as "Japanese drum" and "Yamato" was the former name of the city of Nara, the group's birthplace.
Since its creation, the group has made over one thousand live performances to over one million people in more than 20 countries in Asia, Europe, and the US.

Really amazing thing to experience, They had drums in different sizes and different sounds. The biggest drum, was made of an 450 year old oak, and it was worth about 6 million skr .... thats something huh.

Today, it is a day that I want, I can not resist! More Foo Fighters, just as I gossiped about yesterday, I just have to share with you White Limo, it's so cool.

Todays tune ”White Limo” is taken from the upcoming album Wasting Light, will be released April 12. White Limo was a Valentine's Day gift to their beloved fans and me. A kick-ass shot-on-VHS video of "White Limo" starring Motorhead's own Lemmy Kilmister as the driver and Grohl (and wife Jordyn), Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel, Chris Shiflett and Pat Smear as players in scenarios no doubt familiar to any aficionado of "classic" '80s hard rock videos. Enjoy!
