New at Max Recordings


Kevin Kerby + Battery

Several releases brewing over at Max Recordings. Kevin Kerby + Battery's “Beautiful and Bright” comes out, in stores and online, on Tuesday, May 12. The band celebrates the release next Friday at White Water with Jonathan Wilkins opening.

Sometime this summer, possibly in June or July, look for a vinyl/digital release of a lost album from the Gunbunnies. It's a 12-song demo recorded sometime around 1992 that Warner Bros. paid the band to make, but ultimately decided not to release. Max's Burt Taggart said they sound much more polished than typical demos.

Also in the near future: a solo disc from Ho-Hum's Lenny Bryan called “The Sound of Inevitability.” Taggart says it'll likely be out in June.

Also coming: the last EP from Grand Serenade and a solo disc from Dave Raymond (Kyoto Boom, Mulehead).

If my wife would let me get an iPhone, I would've known and passed along most of this long ago. Because I'd have the Max app, which offers label news and lots of opportunities for interaction. Get it here. [Link fixed]

Comments

A couple of random tidbits from the depths of anoncow-land:
1) You need an iPhone. Tell the wife you're buying one on your journalists salary!
2) Today is the 9th anniversary of the namesake of Max Recordings untimely passing. I never met him, but his music is exceptional and made my stay here in Little Rock worthwhile.
