Say it ain’t so!

Drummer Trivett Wingo has left The Sword. Wingo states, “It is with deep sadness that I am announcing my departure from The Sword. After nearly seven years and some of the most amazing adventures of a lifetime, I have arrived at a place where I am physically and emotionally unable to continue on as part of The Sword. If I could go any further, I would as I love the music and JD, Bryan and Kyle are people that I deeply respect, but I have reached a point where I just can’t do this anymore.” Read his statement in full via the band’s official site.

Although this news is pretty heartbreaking, there may a silver lining, even if ever so small. Wingo also handles the skins for a Nirvana tribute band in town -- perhaps we can hope for more frequent In Dudero shows now?

Either way, Wingo's considerable contributions to The Sword's bludgeoning sound will always be appreciated, and I look forward to seeing the band reconfigure, rebound, and return to the road. They have understandably canceled its U.S. and European Tour for the moment.

Melvins Remixed

I’ll be the first to admit that I should have more Melvins albums in my collection. I had the opportunity catch the band in all its glory back in 1997 at the Austin Music Hall when they opened up for Tool. But somehow, I never got around to accumulating their albums. There’s a lot of them. The esteemed noise-brokers dropped their 20th album The Bride Screamed Murder this past June. “Electric Flower” from the record was recently remixed by a whole host of producers as a part of the Scion A/V Remix Series. I’ve been enjoying these intriguing concoctions this week and I figured so should you – check ‘em out via Preemtiv if you so wish.
