  • The Athens, GA, musical collective Dark Meat were formed by singer/guitarist Jim McHugh and bassist Ben Clack after they moved to Athens from North Carolina in 2004 and met guitarist Kris Deason (of Subversivo) and drummer Forrest Leffer (formerly of Carrie Nations) while working at a downtown restaurant. The group grew from there to include second drummer Chris "SpiritBird" Bradley (later replaced by Jason Robira), a backup vocal trio dubbed the Subtweeters (Heather Heyn-Leffer, Page Campbell, and Claire Campbell), and a horn section led by Charlie Estes (trumpet) and Aaron Jollay (trombone), and featuring reed players Jeff Tobias, Alexis Daglis, and Becky Noble. Additional members included fiddle and bass clarinet player John Fernandes (formerly of Elf Power and Circulatory System), percussionist Chris Smith, and Michael "Toshira" Davis on didgeridoo. Dark Meat released their debut album, Universal Indians, through Cloud Recordings on October 24, 2006.

  • The story of EX MODELS is the story of great passions--the search for knowledge and ecstasy, the questioning of a work of rock and its potential meanings, unbearable pity for the suffering of humankind-- blowing them them like great winds, hither and thither, over great oceans of anguish and ecstasy, reaching to the verge of despair. It is also a discursive history of events attempted and conducted by various combinations of wasted stoners.

The Naked Heroes

  • Way down south on a dusty road George Michael Jackson met Merica Moynihan.

    Jackson was on the road busking street corners and playing solo shows in down and out dive bars. Meanwhile the fiery-haired Moynihan and her brother were trying might and main to make it big touring the Bible Belt in the family Winnebago. Whether it was chance or the handiwork of Beelzebub himself, Jackson happened upon a state fair where the siblings Moynihan were rippin' out Eagle's covers. After their set, a smitten Jackson swaggered like a junkyard dog to the boozy-eyed lady Moynihan.

    With a lick and a promise, a sweet jam session transpired and music as it was known toppled to the ground. The sweaty, two headed, horny rock and roll killing machine that rose from the fiery rubble became known as The Naked Heroes.

    The Naked Heroes combined alchemy formed some of the most blistering brand of raw, bluesy foot stompin', boogey-woogey to grace the stages of Brooklyn and beyond.

    The Naked Heroes live show is a celebration of the primal. It's greasy. It's gamey. in-your-face rock leaves you feeling a little dirty, like you knocked up the prom queen and she wasn't even your date.
