Originally a side project for the Grifters' Dave Shouse, Those Bastard Souls formed in 1996 with the release of Twentieth Century Chemical. The album was basically a Shouse solo project, but when he was approached by Sebadoh with an opening spot on their tour, he connected with the Dambuilders' Joan Wasser and former Red Red Meat bassist Matt Fields to flesh out the Souls for the road. As Wasser's and Shouse's main groups broke up (in the case of the Dambuilders) or went on hiatus (in the case of the Grifters), Those Bastard Souls evolved into a full-fledged band. The original trio added another ex-Dambuilder, drummer Kevin March, and former Jeff Buckley guitarist Michael Tighe to the lineup for the recording of their V2 debut, 1999's Debt & Departure.

Dambuilder

I feel my heart beating Silence through you are speaking Please repeat Replete with apple trees  I, their keeper, this Eden Hesperidean ideal, idyll’s idyll Rilles to vision thrilling, birds trilling in derision of  Time passing like the last of the villagers leaving They will flood it to build a dam, the green where we made easy Playing football enjoying summer breezes, seething…

Bio

formed in boston and currently based in somerville, my own worst enemy (aka mowe) is a female-fronted trio that creates dynamic indie-garage-pop using two electric guitars and drums - no bass - alongside strong harmonies, rapid-fire rhythms and occasional harmonica and twang. inspired by the boston music scene and by the likes of sleater-kinney, patti smith and the replacements, songwriters sue and steve started playing, writing and making four-track recordings after meeting at the middle east in cambridge. the duo added drums to the mix and began gigging, playing their first show at o'brien's in allston in february 1998. the cassette-only demo tape called "cinnamon" followed later that year. the band kept writing new songs and released treblemaker, a collage of loose, energetic demos and late-night studio experimentation in 2000. with a drummer change the following year, mowe survived on a steady diet of writing new material and sporadically playing live, releasing the 13-song no guarantees in 2003, produced by pete weiss and released on elis eil records.

my own worst enemy's straight ahead, d.i.y. approach to passionate, heart-on-your-sleeve songwriting and high energy live shows continues to evolve and move the band in new directions. the addition of a.j. on drums in 2005 gave the band a huge boost and again spurred a major songwriting flourish. the recharged trio hit the clubs and ultimately returned to recording with pete weiss once again behind the board at verdant studio. in the fall of 2007, mowe released its third record, total action, on pristine indigo records. positive reviews, college radio airplay, better gigs and a stronger live following were the result of their efforts.

using the momentum from total action as a springboard, my own worst enemy takes it's game to the next level with its 2011 full-length, electric like the moon. the eleven song record follows the band's blueprint of recording live basic tracks in the woods of vermont, working quickly and efficiently to produce a loose and real-sounding document of a band not over-thinking the process. this record picks up where total action left off and delivers a solid, up-tempo collection of modern rock songs in a fashion that only sue, steve and aj can muster. highlights include the band's epic ode to billy ruane, called "man of the hour"; a major-chord garage-rawk tribute to monoman and felice called "the kids don't care" and covers as only mowe can perform, by the smiths, lady gaga and tribe.

in late 2013, mowe released a limited-edition 45 rpm single, paul revere/angel of the underground. recorded and produced entirely in their hometown of somerville, ma. (at q division and armory sound) by pete weiss (who else??) the band continues to churn out the hits.

if this isn't enough to hook you, they probably never will. come to a live show and get a copy or find an online outlet...you'll be glad you did.

sue - guitar & vocals

sue's humble musical beginnings trace back to the fifth grade when she would play the folk mass at her church. after moving to boston for college, and years of recovery from having attended catholic school, sue picked up the guitar again with less sacred intentions. over time, she moved from working out bob dylan and janis joplin tunes to writing songs of her own, playing for an audience of one kitty (named nico) in her little studio apartment. sue's muses range from patti smith to r.e.m., billie holiday to husker du, leading to songs that are rooted in feeling, not formula. as a longtime supporter of local bands on the boston scene, sue has drawn inspiration over the years from favs like jen trynin, scarce, dambuilders and kristin hersh. although it's unlikely her songs will ever be heard at church services again, their purity and veracity cannot be denied. working with bandmates steve and a.j. allows sue's songwriting and vocalization to continue evolving in new and ever-intriguing directions.

steve - guitar & vocals

steve's earliest music memories are sitting up in a favorite tree listening to simon & garfunkel and the beatles on a snoopy am radio. second to the pop tunes of the 70s was the raw, exciting world of punk & new wave in the early 80s; high school afternoons were a crash-course in new music, digging through friends' vinyl collections that included the vapors, marshall crenshaw, pretenders, the clash and elvis costello. inspired by the music's originality and coolness, steve bought a juno 106 synth and began composing original songs, eventually swapping the keys for a guitar and four-track. after gaining degrees in liberal arts and english literature at umass, steve moved to providence and then to boston where there were great local music scenes going, all the while writing tons of songs and listening to alot of replacements, big star, uncle tupelo, teenage fanclub and guided by voices. eventually fate intervened: steve met singer/songwriter sue at a dambuilders/fuzzy show in cambridge. they have been writing and playing together ever since.

a.j.: drums, harmonica, backing vocals

a.j. remembers fondly a day long ago...ozzy osbourne's "crazy train" blaring from the radio...rocking out in his high chair...older sisters approving his behavior...thinking, "hmm...me likey." while much has changed over the years, that same pinball-machine effect seemed to spontaneously recur inside (sans high chair) upon hearing the likes of u2, the police, the beatles and the kinks. a drum kit received for high school graduation provided an antidote of sorts as a.j. let loose the full-tilt frenzy within. and later on, the clash, uncle tupelo, wilco, the stone roses (first album), the band and the shins proved beyond a doubt just how much great drums could impact and shape a song. since joining the band in march of 2005, a.j. is already making his mark on the songs of my own worst enemy.

Busman's Holiday For Jeff Buckley

This sideman thing is OK, but really, how about getting into the studio and recording a new album already.

By MTV News Staff April 6, 1996

The mesmerizing singer/songwriter Jeff Buckley will slip into the background next month, when he hits the road as a sideman, playing bass in Mind Science of the Mind. The group is headed by Shudder To Think guitarist Nathan Larson, and includes Joan Wasser of the Dambuilders on violin, Mary Timony from Helium on Guitar and Kevin March, also of the Dambuilders, on drums. Larson plays guitar and sings. The group will be performing Larson-penned material, and it is not expected that Buckely will do anything except hold down his responsibilities as half of the rhythm section. A source close to Buckely told ATN: "Jeff loves the Dambuilders. He's also a big Shudder To Think fan, a long-time Shudder To Think fan. And he had the Dambuilders open for him in Australia." Good enough. This is, as they say, "a oneshot." Meanwhile, in terms of his own trip, Buckely has replaced drummer Matt Johnson (who departed following Buckley's recent Australian tour) with Eric Eidel. It's expected that Buckely will use Eidel, bassist Mick Grondal and guitarist Michael Tighe when he begins recording his next album this summer.

Recently acquired. $10 in a Discogs haul. 90s indie rock comp. it’s got some stuff only on this, but the. spent song is one I’ve heard before. Portastatic and Archers of Loaf are not at their best, but the Small song is smashing. And it’s got the rockin-est Nothing Oainted Blue song ever. I still can’t get into Unwound. This didn’t change that. But I liked the Dambuikders song, where I previously had no interest in them.
