Ark. Times Musicians Showcase Round 1: Riverboat Crime



 
Riverboat Crime

Formed: March 2007

From: North Little Rock

Members: Josh Stoffer (vocals, guitar, piano, woolitzer), Adam Tompkins (drums, percussion), Wes Coker (bass).

Album: "Walking Shoes," the band's debut album was recorded at Blue Chair Studio with Jordan Trotter of Grand Serenade and Darian Stribling of Blue Chair Studio. It'll be out in Feb. or March.

Sounds like: The band says indie rock, garage blues and "a hint of alt-country," but a lot of songs lean more towards big, bright unironic pop-rock.

False start: The idea of Riverboat Crime started with a jam session between friends in 2005, but according to a press release, "time-restraints, alcohol, and substance abuse brought the project to a stand-still after only a month of rehearsals." The band came together in July 2007 after Stoffer booked a gig to help raise money after an automobile accident.

Where you'll find them: So far the band has kept to the north side of the river, playing Cornerstone and Reno's.

Music:

"You're Gonna Burn"

Blues on 12th Street

The old Safeway store at the corner of 12th and Cedar Streets doesn't look like much these days - a peeling blue hulk of a building, marooned between the Willie Hinton Community Resource Center and the church on the next corner. /more/

Tracy Ingle - who was shot five times by a North Little Rock SWAT team during a no-knock drug raid back in January - was slapped with a gag order during his first court appearance since a story about his case was published in the Arkansas Times on March 24. /more/

As Judge Wendell Griffen says, courage is not a vice (though critics seem to fault him for having it) but a virtue. /more/
