I know that they were back in the studio this past summer. So I expect we will be graced with another album in the near future, which I can't wait for. — THE KBK ... This is the last known signal.

Even live, he has cut out the use of amps. He runs his pedals directly into the board. The amp on stage is just a monitor. No tank, from my knowledge. On their first three releases, there is nothing that makes me think he used a tank. Everything can be gotten from a Fender amp and actually sounds more like that reverb versus a tank. Noah, I hope we get the new album soon! Sune recently was in the hospital so I hope he recovers quickly! Top

When I was a college freshman in the music program at SFSU I took a class in American Popular Music History, conducted by SF Chron music critic Joel Selvin, who spun 45s every week to illustrate his lectures. Our primary text was The Sound of the Cities, about urban American music. The author was dismissive of anything that poked outside categories of 'social' music. Thus Jimi Hendrix was panned as 'irrelevant' after he left the chitlins n gravy circuit to pursue his creative vision in NY then UK. There may be a kind of downstream Marxism in such 'anti-bourgeois' criticism of music. IMO I think it's unfortunate (according to the wiki piece if accurate) that music critics of the day disparaged those musicians for not playing working class music. What kind of valid music criticism is that? — Squink Out! Top
