MARCH MADNESS HITS PRAVDA RECORDS
Not since its inception in 1984 has Cinderella story record label Pravda Records released so many diverse, exciting, and important releases in the month of March. Here is a taste of the sweetness…
ANDRE WILLIAMS AND THE DIPLOMATS OF SOLID SOUND: “Aphrodisiac”
From the man who penned sweaty, low-down R&B cuts such as Shake A Tailfeather, Cadillac Jack, Jailbait, Twine Time & Bacon Fat is back! The Black Godfather may have just turned 70, but damn he looks good and still sounds so delicious. Andre called on the “ambassadors of instrumental soul” The Diplomats Of Solid Sound (Estrus) to deliver his most soul-soaked album to date.
THE GOLDSTARS: “Purple Girlfriend” Coming March 2006!
Our favorite Chicago “All Star” foursome stumbled out of the garage and handed us their most raucous, high-powered opus to date. Producer Ted Cho somehow captures the energy & intensity of The Goldstars live act while realizing the great songs that make Goldstar fans shake their asses on the dance floor and hum there tunes on the cab ride home... www.thegoldstars.com
CHEER-ACCIDENT: “Variations On A Goddamn Old Man II”
This is the second installment in a series of recordings made at home and the band's practice space between 1995 and 1999. It can only be described as a voyeuristic glimpse into the psyche of Cheer-Accident, one of Chicago's longest running and most fascinating musical groups. Always unpredictable, but never disappointing.
FORTUNES: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack - featuring the music of Tobin Sprout
From former Guided By Voices guitarist & songwriter comes the perfect backdrop of a story about three old friends (Mike McGlone, James Urbaniak, Tony Hale) who find themselves receiving visions of there future from a Fortuneteller. Which leads them to the timeless question: Are our lives simply what we make of them or is there indeed such a thing as “fate”? Also includes music by The Mulchmen, Chris Day and others.
ANDRE WILLIAMS AND THE GOLDSTARS: “It’s A Long Way To The Top (If You Want To Rock N’ Roll)” special 7” single
While on tour in Europe recently, Andre dragged around an old beat-up boombox blasting this AC/DC gem and demanding he record it at once. What Andre wants, Andre gets. But who better than Chicago’s own garage “All-Star” misfits The Goldstars to back him. But here’s the catch, they wouldn’t do it unless the B-side was The Beastie Boys #1 party anthem “Fight For Your Right”. A classic.
