Saturday Matinee – Seratones, Sean Pittman w/ Aaron Griffin & Willie J. Campbell, and The Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band

They’re part rock, part psychadelia, part R&B and part soul, but mostly Seratones is lead singer and guitar player A.J. Haynes. When asked what inspires her, she responded, “Afrofuturism.”

Backed by drummer Aaron Griffin and (the late) Willie J. Campbell on bass, Texas bluesman Shawn Pittman took a shot at Magic Sam’s Boogie at the Blues City Deli in St. Louis, (2018). Comment from the Utoobage: “Dude in front caught the vibe. Was later seen walking across the Mississippi to the Illinois side. Was epic.”

Heavy duty electric blues: The Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band features the vocals of Noah Hunt, Chris Layton on drums, Kevin McCormick / bass and Joe Krown / keyboards.

Have a great weekend, and remember the meaning of Easter.

Clowns, Devils & Bait

“For those who don’t know, Crap Hound is a zine I started in 1994. I don’t talk about it much here, because it’s got no connection to LiarTown. Crap Hound consists almost entirely of high-contrast, black and white commercial art and imagery, collected into themes. All past issues have been reprinted, thanks to the extreme loveliness of folks at BuyOlympia. Topics are Clowns, Devils, and Bait, Hands, Hearts, and Eyes, Death, Phones, and Scissors, Church and State, Superstition, and Sex and Kitchen Gadgets.”
