B.W.'s PLAYLIST/ KHSU-FM, 90.5/ SAT., 14 NOV. 2009

Songwriter, musician, and vocalist Carla Bozulich, longtime veteran and maverick of the LA avant-garde/contemporary music scene (including fronting the infamous Ethyl Meatplow), will be slinging her internal roar and intense persona with Evangelista, a band formed with members of Godspeed You! Black Emperor, at Arcata, CA's Jambalaya club, on Friday, Dec. 11th. If you're in the area, you don't want to miss this rare opportunity to hear a dynamic, inventive and unique performance. Evangelista has a new recording out, Prince of Truth, on Constellation Records.
*CORRECTION: Due to the double booking of Arcata's Jambalaya club, Evangelista was recently bumped from their scheduled Dec. 11th date. It appears that Carla & Co. will NOT be performing in these parts. So much for professional agreements...

It's evident that The Boy Wonder uses the hell out of Snakehips' excellent song, "Hell On Earth," from frontman/singer/songwriter Mark Harrison, (taken from the killer debut 1993 record, Lit), for Halloween. It's named after the "Hell On Earth" annual Memphis celebration/ garage rock extravaganza. Snakehips, formed in Memphis, later finding residence in Nashville, rocks from the T. Rex/Mott-vein, Southern style. Check out their whole catalog, most of which, are available with Feralette Records.
