Rompilation CD Release Party Featuring... River Oaks Cobalt & The Hired Guns Jonny Rumble Raised On Zenith Verona Red
The Kansas-based post-punk progressive bluegrass outfit Split Lip Rayfield was comprised of vocalist/banjoist David Lawrence, guitarist/dobroist Kirk Rundstrom, and one-string bassist Jeff Eaton, whose instrument was fashioned from the gas tank of a 1965 Ford. An outgrowth of the group Scroat Belly (though it didn't take long for them to outlive the band that spawned them), the trio debuted in 1998 with a self-titled LP issued on the Bloodshot label. In the Mudfollowed a year later; by this time, singer and mandolin playerWayne Gottstine had expanded the lineup to four pieces and Eric Mardis had replaced Lawrence on banjo. The new millennium saw the release of a third effort, Never Make It Home, which arrived in stores in late 2000. After three years of touring, which saw the group opening for everyone from Del McCoury to Nashville Pussy, Split Lip Rayfield recorded and released a fourth long-player, Should Have Seen It Coming, in 2004. In early 2006, Rundstrom (who had also released a few solo records) was diagnosed with cancer. He continued to perform with the band for months as he fought and underwent treatment, but Rundstrom ultimately succumbed to the disease in February 2007, just about a week after playing what would be his last show.
First Friday formed in the autumn of 1967 at the University of Notre Dame. They practiced in the basement of Dillon Hall, where they found a stack of blank posters with the heading First Friday (meant to advertise First Friday mass in the dorm chapel) and chose their name in order to capitalize on the "free" promotional materials. They recorded their debut album in 1969 in Nashville, on James Brown's original label King records. (This album has sold recently on ebay for over $400.00!) Perhaps the best overlooked rock band of the late 60's, and featuring grammy winning engineer and producer Andy Wallace (Nirvana, Rage Against The Machine, Jeff Buckley), First Friday reunites to play Double Door on Saturday October 4th.
