The dates for Redd Kross’ spring tour did not offer this luxury, but the band would be playing back-to-back shows in Chicago and Louisville…maybe they could stop in Indiana on their drive from Illinois to Kentucky? With fingers crossed, I approached the band directly, and (somewhat amazingly) they were totally down; down to drive for an hour or so immediately following their show in Chicago to stay closer to Indy; down to get up early and finish the drive before unloading all of their gear, setting up in our headquarters, and recording one song; and down to load their gear back in the van, hit the road to Louisville, and play a show at Zanzabar that evening. This is a tall order for any band, no matter how experienced or prepared. But these dudes (all legends in their own right) made it look so easy. Brothers Jeff \u0026amp; Steven McDonald, the core members of Redd Kross, have been making music together for nearly 35 years. Joined by Jason Shapiro on guitar and The Melvins’ Dale Crover on drums, the group spent about 90 minutes recording “Notes and Chords Mean Nothing to Me,” which first appeared on the band’s 1982 debut full-length Born Innocent. The full band played through the song three or four times. Then the Brothers McDonald laid a few extra vocal layers before inviting Dale \u0026amp; Jason back for a rousing round of “Everybody Eat Shit!” And they were in excellent spirits the entire time! Professional when recording, light-hearted and laughing in between. As they prepared to leave we all stood in the sunshine next to their van, exchanging handshakes and hugs and well wishes before they piled in and drove off. What an easy, breezy afternoon.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 15px 0px 0px; text-align: right;\"\u003e– Jessica Clark\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 15px 0px 0px; text-align: right;\"\u003eLabel Director\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 15px 0px 0px; text-align: right;\"\u003eJoyful Noise Recordings\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 15px 0px 0px; text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 15px 0px 0px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMusic and Lyrics: Jeffrey McDonald and Steven McDonald (Bad Papaya music BMI, Zelda Rocks Music BMI)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMusicians: Jeffrey McDonald; Steven McDonald; Jason Shapiro; \u0026amp; Dale Crover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecorded live at Joyful Noise Recordings \/ May 2017 \/ by Postal Recordings: Tyler Watkins and Alex Kercheval\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal version appears on \u003cem\u003eBorn Innocent\u003c\/em\u003e, released in 1982 by Smoke Seven Records\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThanks: Jessica Clark\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Almost Live","offers":[{"title":"Limited Edition 7\" (Screen-printed white vinyl, limited to 1000 copies.)","offer_id":48433196308,"sku":"JNR208-10_Redd-Kross-Almost_Live","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0844\/5451\/products\/singles-redd-kross-notes-and-chords-mean-nothing-to-me-1.jpg?v=1530546846"},{"product_id":"dale-crover-tiny-dirt-deerhoof-i-hear-an-echo","title":"Dale Crover \"Tiny Dirt\" \/ Deerhoof \"I Hear An Echo\"","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"col span_1_of_2\" style=\"vertical-align: top;\" valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"width: 100%; margin: 0px; padding: 8px 0px 6px 8px; background-color: #a9a9a9; color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Oswald', sans-serif; font-size: 24px; font-weight: 300; line-height: 100%; text-transform: uppercase;\"\u003eTRACK LIST\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 15px 0px 0px 0px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 15px 0px 0px 0px; text-align: left;\"\u003eSide A - Dale Crover - \"Tiny Dirt\"\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 15px 0px 0px 0px; text-align: left;\"\u003eSide B - Deerhoof - \"I Hear An Echo\"\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 15px 0px 0px; text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 15px 0px 0px; text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col span_1_of_2\" style=\"vertical-align: top;\" valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"width: 100%; margin: 0px; padding: 8px 0px 6px 8px; background-color: #a9a9a9; color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Oswald', sans-serif; font-size: 24px; font-weight: 300; line-height: 100%; text-transform: uppercase;\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 15px 0px 0px 0px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhen Deerhoof started in 1994 there was only one local band I would go to see literally every time they played and that was The Melvins.

But it was also something else that I never felt has been appropriately appreciated: funny. It took me a few tries to find a strong drum style of my own coz at that time I was simply a DC imitator. \"I Hear An Echo\" is at first glance a song featuring jazz chords but upon closer inspection a show heavy song in the style of The Melvins.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 15px 0px 0px;\"\u003e- Greg Saunier (Deerhoof)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 15px 0px 0px; text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 15px 0px 0px; text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Cause \u0026 Effect","offers":[{"title":"Limited Edition 7\" (Split color vinyl, limited to 1000 copies.)","offer_id":240886677524,"sku":"JNR113-4_DaleCrover_Deerhoof-CE","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0844\/5451\/products\/singles-dale-crover-tiny-dirt-deerhoof-i-hear-an-echo-2.jpg?v=1578514313"},{"product_id":"rat-a-tat-tat","title":"Rat-A-Tat-Tat!","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"section group\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col span_1_of_2\" style=\"vertical-align: top;\" valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"width: 100%; margin: 0px; padding: 8px 0px 6px 8px; background-color: #a9a9a9; color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Oswald', sans-serif; font-size: 24px; font-weight: 300; line-height: 100%; text-transform: uppercase;\"\u003eTracklist \/ Listen\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 15px 0px 0px 0px;\"\u003e\n\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AhDyEa7VhNo\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoclips\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Can't Help You There\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/lnk.to\/TougherWE\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eTougher\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStumbler\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShark Like Overbite\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupine Is How I Found Him\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI'll Never Say\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew Pharaoh\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUntrue Crime\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Bowie Mix\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePiso Mojado\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKiss Proof World\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e [Bonus Flexi] Swiss Triplets 1:38\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col span_1_of_2\" style=\"vertical-align: top;\" valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"width: 100%; margin: 0px; padding: 8px 0px 6px 8px; background-color: #a9a9a9; color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Oswald', sans-serif; font-size: 24px; font-weight: 300; line-height: 100%; text-transform: uppercase;\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 15px 0px 0px 0px;\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRat-A-Tat-Tat!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e Is that the sound of the reaper knocking on your door to collect your soul -- or \u003cstrong\u003eDale Crover\u003c\/strong\u003e hammering out another distinctive drum fill?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are pretty good odds it’s the latter; between 36 years (and about as many full-lengths and EPs) as drummer\/bassist for the Melvins and his contributions to acts as varied as \u003cstrong\u003eAltamont, Peeping Tom, Redd Kross, Shrinebuilder,\u003c\/strong\u003e and a little band called \u003cstrong\u003eNirvana\u003c\/strong\u003e, he’s built quite the body of work. In 2017, he added a proper solo album to his extensive catalog, \u003cem\u003eThe Fickle Finger of Fate\u003c\/em\u003e. Now he’s followed that with \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRat-A-Tat-Tat!\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCrover takes the solo thing seriously: he wrote the album while on the road and provided vocals, drums, guitars, vibraphone, and miscellaneous percussion. Just like the last album, recording took place over at Toshi Kasai’s Sound of Sirens Studio in beautiful Sun Valley, CA. Kasai recorded and mixed it again, as well as co-producing it with Crover under the sobriquet Deaf Nephews. Celebrated graphic designer (and regular Melvins cover artist) Mackie Osborne created the striking album art, just as she did for \u003cem\u003eThe Fickle Finger of Fate\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo what’s different this time around? Crover assembled an actual band to help him out. Redd Kross bassist Steve McDonald asked Crover to open for Redd Kross, Crover asked McDonald to play bass for him, and the rest is history. It’d be difficult for even the multi-talented Crover to put on a live show by himself without one of those one-man-band contraptions. In addition to McDonald, Kasai (ex-Big Business, Plan D) helps with keyboards, synths, jawharp, and backing vocals. Mindee Jorgensen (Dangerously Sleazy) sits behind the kit live and contributes additional drumming and some sweet saxophone skills here. His former Altamont bandmate Dan Southwick plays bass on “Tougher,” a track Crover cowrote with Kasai.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSome pieces of the songs may sound familiar to the 127 completists who grabbed the limited-run lathe cut record \u003cem\u003ePiso Mojado\u003c\/em\u003e, a collection of experimental drum weirdness. Although insanity certainly abounds on \u003cem\u003eRat-a-Tat-Tat!\u003c\/em\u003e, there are also some surprisingly poppy moments. Crover claims “Shark Like Overbite” may be the poppiest song he’s ever written. It’s also the puppiest: it was inspired by the three dogs he’s had over the years. A few tunes (“I Can’t Help You There,” “Kiss Proof World”) harken back to his Pacific Northwest lineage. That said, “Tougher,” “Supine is How I Found Him,” and “New Pharaoh” careen right off the dial. It’s an eclectic mix, one that draws on song fragments he’s had for years. It still feels cohesive and uniquely Dale Crover.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e But then, who would expect anything other than the unexpected?

Neil Young’s mid-career hit has worked its way into thousands of bar-band repertoires over the years, but it’s hard to imagine anyone more qualified to cover the song than Crover. It’s owed to his presence in the mysterious video and to his long history of rock ‘n’ roll evangelism, both as a solo artist and over his 43-year tenure as drummer for the Pacific Northwest rock institution \u003cstrong\u003eMelvins\u003c\/strong\u003e. This is a band that’s pickled everything from Wings’ “Let Me Roll It” to the Cars’ “Candy-O” in their pungent brine.

The EP additionally features acoustic renditions of three songs from Crover’s solo album \u003cem\u003eGlossolalia\u003c\/em\u003e (“Doug Yuletide,” “Rings,” and “Jane”), one from 2021’s \u003cem\u003eRat-A-Tat-Tat!\u003c\/em\u003e (“I Can’t Help You There”), and the brand-new title track. It’s the third solo acoustic album to come from the Melvins camp, following founding member Buzz Osborne’s \u003cem\u003eThis Machine Kills Artists\u003c\/em\u003e and\u003cem\u003e Gift of Sacrifice\u003c\/em\u003e, both of which were also recorded with longtime Melvins engineer and collaborator \u003cstrong\u003eToshi Kasai\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe roots of this solo album came from his 2024 sets opening for power-pop legends Redd Kross (for whom Crover drums from time to time), during which Crover would perform a DJ set followed by a brief acoustic performance of songs from his three solo albums. Each DJ set ended with “Ba Ba,” a song by Brazilian rapper Braulio Fogón, which inspired the title of the album along with the classic Rolling Stones live album \u003cem\u003eGet Yer Ya Ya’s Out!\u003c\/em\u003e (the first Stones album Crover bought) and the vocables of glossolalia, known to the layman as “speaking in tongues.” The lack of a full band came out of economic necessity at first, but as audiences responded well to Crover’s one-man show, he began to scratch at the possibility of releasing an acoustic EP. With help from Kasai and bassist \u003cstrong\u003eSarah Linton\u003c\/strong\u003e of Harshmellow and The Schizophonics, Crover recorded the six songs on the EP at Sounds of Sirens. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis intimate setting of Crover’s songs here contrasts with the electric, guest-heavy \u003cem\u003eGlossolalia\u003c\/em\u003e, which featured a rare cameo from Tom Waits and guest features from kindred spirit Ty Segall and fellow Northwest legend Kim Thayil of Soundgarden. Yet it’d be hard to call this music stripped-down—it feels more like a further development on the glam-damaged power pop Crover’s been producing since he kicked off the second phase of his solo career on 2017’s \u003cem\u003eThe Fickle Finger of Fate\u003c\/em\u003e. Kasai’s arrangements fill the available empty space with slide guitar, Jew’s harp, assorted bells and other idiophones. And though the instrument on which Crover made his name is absent, replaced by a distant smattering of hand drums, the spirit of his music has never been clearer—a restless desire to explore new territory combined with a deep love of rock ‘n’ roll, the same that built the Melvins into one of the most interesting and influential bands of their generation. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dale Crover","offers":[{"title":"VIP","offer_id":54104376770870,"sku":"JNR524_VIP","price":33.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Yellow Vinyl + Digital (Limited to 666 copies.
