ED HALL La La Land 1995

 


Discogs

 

Saw Ed Hall play in my city back in the '90s. During their set, they asked the audience who in the band was named Ed Hall. I yelled back, "No one!" They proceeded to toss me their Deth 7 inch.

The band is composed of Gary Chester, guitarist, Larry Strub, bassist, and Kevin Whitley, drummer in the first three albums. Their style is a mix of post hardcore, psychedelic rock and hardcore, a sound sometimes similar to Butthole Surfers. Maybe for this reason from 1991 to 1995 they record their lps on Trance Syndicate Records, independent record label founded in 1990 by King Coffey, drummer of Butthole Surfers. The band split in 1996.

ED HALL Motherscratcher 1993

.


AllMusic Review by  

Motherscratcher was the most focused, least whimsical Ed Hall album issued during the trio's career -- certainly more so than Albert and Love Poke Here -- and it was the first in which Gary Chester's exceptional Paul Leary meets Robert Fripp guitar playing truly sang out. Furthermore, the bottom end, provided by Will Shatter-esque bass player Larry Strub is the perfect architectural framework around which Chester's prickly riffs and trebly, note-driven leads can jab and dance. The opening "White House Girls," with its exaggerated backbeat, and laughing chorus, is a near-perfect example of this. Texturally, Ed Hall, with this album, was beginning to resemble a more cryptic and nuanced, less abrasive version of Flipper, one of the trio's most salient influences. What also distinguishes Motherscratcher from previous Ed Hall efforts is it's more rock-oriented rhythms, perhaps owing to new drummer Lyman Hardy; either way, the approach is more serious, straightforward, and memorable. It is with this album that Ed Hall fully found their voice, even if they had but one album left. "Satori in Manhattan, Kansas" is a strikingly beautiful instrumental, one eclipsed by very little in rock music. Ed Hall's finest album.

SIXTEEN DELUXE Backfeed Magnetbabe 1995

Artist Biography by


Austin, Texas-based noise-pop band Sixteen Deluxe formed in mid-1994 from the ashes of the local acts Swingset and Warm Jets; originally comprising singers/guitarists Carrie Clark and Chris Smith, bassist Jeff Copas, and drummer Lyman Hardy. Within a year, the group was hailed as the loudest on the Austin scene, attracting a rabid following with their decidedly psychedelic live sets. After Hardy left the group to focus all of his energy on his other band, Ed Hall, drummer Bryan Bowden signed on to record Sixteen Deluxe's 1995 debut LP Backfeed Magnet Babe; after Bowden exited, K.C. Rhodes briefly stepped in before Steven Hall assumed drumming duties full-time in 1996. While recording the EP Pilot Knob for the L.A.-based indie Genius, the band signed to Warner Bros., issuing their major-label debut Emits Showers of Sparks in 1998. Sixteen Deluxe's Warner stay proved extremely brief, however, and they jumped to indie label Sugar Fix for the follow-up, The Moonman Is Blue. The album was released late 1999, and in July of the following year Carrie Clark left the band, resulting in the end of Sixteen Deluxe.

ED HALL Gloryhole 1991


Around 1993 or so, Ed Hall played here in Pensacola at Sluggo's. Not many people showed up because the philosophy that seems to be prevalent here is "I've never heard of them so they must not be any good."
But they were good. In fact they were great! After a few songs, the guitarist told everyone in the crowd that if they answered the question correctly, they'd get a free 7 inch. I was up for it. He asked, "Who in the band is named Ed Hall?"
I yelled, "NO ONE!"
The 7 inch record "Deth/Witless" came flying my way and I've still got it to this day. Thanks Ed Hall. I still have my Ed Hall t-shirt.
