 | V/A Naked Soul / Flatbed Label : Modern City Records Year : 2026 Format : LP Style : Rock Availability : In stock Price : 15.90 € - BUY | |
| Description : | Las Vegas / Orange County original hardcore/punk band, M.I.A. played their last show in1987 and call it quits.In mid-1988 singer Mike Conley started Naked Soul with former M.I.A. member LarzPearson on drums and long time friend Jeff Sewell on bass. Taking cues from bands likeThe Replacements or Canada's The Doughboys or The Nils, Mike started writing songsthat expanded the poppy-yet-edgy sound initiated on M.I.A.'s After The Fact with layeredarrangements and vocal harmonies.This first line-up soon broke up but Mike persisted and put a new band together withMike Brown on drums and Carlos Soria of The Nils on second guitar. The band went inthe studio with Richard Andrews (Big Drill Car, All, Jawbreaker, etc.) and recorded the 3carefully crafted pop song featured here, including one of Naked Soul's signature song'Lonely Me, Lonely You', that would eventually get them signed by a major label.Meanwhile former M.I.A. guitarist Nick Adams started playing with drummer Miles Gillettfrom El Grupo Sexo on drums and Bob Gnarly from Plain Warp on bass. They namedthe project Flatbed and set out to just have a blast playing raw, heavy and melodic rock'nroll. Danny Wallis from Don't No soon took over bass duties and the band went in thestudio to record a few originals and a Tom Waits cover.This release captures a slice of time from late 1989 with two bands with shared musicalhistories going off in different directions.Limited to 300 copies in a handstamped cover and on colored vinyl. | |
