Brog releases new album 'Wonder'
Tumblr media
The songwriter and producer of electronica known as Brog has released his latest official album, “Wonder.” The album contains 11 original Brog tracks for an approximate total listening time of fully 90 minutes. It has been proudly published as an independent release without the involvement of the corporate music industry on the llornkcor record label. A kaleidoscopic, appropriately named variety of soundscapes, “Wonder” showcases Brog as one of the most intriguing electronica artists of spring 2019 and promises that he has plenty more where that came from.
Brisbane, Australia's Brog (BR-ain f-OG)cites as main artistic influences a range of mostly non-digital artists including Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream, and Jimi Hendrix. Brog's own sound takes creative and progressive music elements from each of these and adds his own uniquely post-modern trappings for a result unlike anything today's music fans have heard before. With an emphasis on , “Wonder” by Brog has a little something for everybody.
Asked to describe the overall meaning of “Wonder,” Brog writes casually, “Hmmm, not sure. That the world is a groovy place?”
Born Lorn Potter in the Boulder, CO area, Brog's eclectic original tracks blend elements of folk rock, jazz and “new-age, electronic space music, with lyrics that are environmentally aware and full of passions from his heart.” The loose, devil-may-care attitude with which he crafts his songs also hints at the strong undercurrent of his punk-rock past in Dead Silence, with which crew he opened for legends such as TSOL and 7 Seconds.
“I started playing music early,” Brog says of growing up in music. “We always had a piano around. Learned trombone – that led to bass guitar, which lead to guitar.”
Since that time, Brog has played in many disparate and popular music projects, such as iO, Acoustic Forum, Tribal Folk with Jamie Janover (Zestfinger), Kicking Mr. Rogers with Scott Kusmirek (Gin Blossoms), Dude of Life (songwriter, Phish), and Intergalactic Spacefish with Dirck Nagy (music prof., WSU), and the renowned drummer, Thumper, as well as his high school band, Alibi, with Minneapolis' Rich Mattson and My Blue Sky's Jamie McGregor. He has produced several music videos and also worked as a sound engineer at such major events as the Worldbeat Music and Dance Fest in Longmont, CO, for such artists as Yaocan Chen, Colcannon, the New Land Balkan Band, Serfe', and the Planina Balkan Choir.
Since 2003, Brog lives in Brisbane, Australia creating psybient, ambient and electronic music.
“Wonder” by Brog on the llornkcor label is available from over 600 quality digital music stores online worldwide now. Get in early, electronica fans.

HAVE A NICE DAY: A PITTSBURGH COLLECTION BY CRAFTED SOUNDS
    With all the political discourse that has steadily been increasing in the nation, many people have responded by trying to ensure feelings of community and empowerment as well as solidarity. As of recently, members of the music industry (on small and large levels) have been working hard to make their voices heard and express their own solidarity with organizations threatened to be defunded and disregarded.
     An inspirational example of such activism being done on a smaller scale is tape label Crafted Sounds’ upcoming release, Have A Nice Day: A Pittsburgh Collection. Similar to the movement of many labels and bands donating percentages of their online sales to Planned Parenthood, Crafted Sounds is releasing a compilation tape whose digital profits (and 50% of physical profits) will be donated to the Planned Parenthood of Western Pennsylvania.
    Have A Nice Day is composed of songs, demos, a cover, and even a live recording by various Pittsburgh artists. The compilation itself isn't meant to be political but rather focus on highlighting the sound and diversity of the music scene in Pittsburgh. This diversity is conveyed through the combination of genres featured on the tape: lo-fi, experimental, and garage punk to name a few. Nonetheless, it is these two purposes of the tape that expresses the inspiration to contribute locally and on a small scale that is in the end a part of something much bigger.
    The compilation has a fluidity to it from track-to-track, as each song has its own respective but similar level of energy to it, making it a comfortable listen.
Some songs on it worth noting:
“It Could Be You” - Rue
An indie pop-rock love song about being unsure about love
“Disorder” (Cover) - Surf Bored
Cover of a post-punk favorite with a hint of surf rock
“Red Colored Elegy” - pinstripe sunny
An unearthly bedroom pop tune that incorporates sounds of running water along with other more conventional sounds
“Waxed” - Spacefish
A hypnotizing american gothic/experimental tune that gives off Glass Animal vibes (but darker)
There will be a limited run of physical cassette tapes so make sure to order yours as soon as possible.
Shortly after the release there will be two benefit shows for Planned Parenthood with bands from the compilation:
Release Show @ Dogfunk (South Oakland - Pittsburgh) Thursday 3/2
Jack Stauber, Pinstripe Sunny, Side Ape, Surf Bored
Benefit Show @ The Bushnell (North Oakland - Pittsburgh) Saturday 3/18
Capsule Corp, Rue, Spacefish, String Machine, wwoman

The Great Cover Up 2017 in Review
With a total of 30 bands playing across 3 nights this past weekend (Dec. 14-16), everyone attending was bound to find something to their liking. I attended all 3 nights, and indeed, I found plenty to my liking. The following is not a comprehensive review, but a look at some of my personal highlights of the musical benefit concert known as The Great Cover Up. It did not occur to me to actually write a review of the event until it pretty much concluded, so, some details are a bit murky as I was not wearing my journalist hat for the shows, but was attending as a fan. I missed a few sets that I heard wonderful things about (Roman Barton Sherman doing Elliot Smith), and I only caught the last moments of what sounded like a fantastic set of Harry Nilsson tunes by some band which stand-out guitarist Connor "Catfish" Gallagher was a part of. So, without further delay, here is my (chronological) synopsis of some some of the stand-out music from The Great Cover Up 2017.
Thursday, December 14th at Flycatcher: I arrived in time to see the second act (The Great Cover Up was a total of 15 hours, while I caught the majority of acts, I was, unfortunately, unable to see all of them), Tori Amos. Leigh Lesho did a great job with the vocals and there were obviously plenty of pleased Tori Amos fans in attendance. I am entirely unfamiliar with Queens of the Stone Age, but whichever band (again, apologies about the lack of details, next year my notebook will be out the whole time) covered them was really impressive. I was a big fan of that set, despite knowing none of the music. Following Queens of the Stone Age was The Bennu doing Led Zeppelin. Simply put, the band knocked it out of the park. They did rather true representations of the tunes Fool in the Rain, Black Dog, and following an audible groan by the crowd when the band started their set closing song with teasing Stairway to Heaven, the band dropped into Kashmir and the crowd went wild. I sincerely wish I caught which band did the Prince set, because they were awesome, and doing a quality Price set with only a 3 piece band is quite an impressive feat! I had to roll after that set, as it was a Thursday night and I had to work in the morning.
Friday, December 15th at Club Congress: I missed Roman Barton Sherman as Elliot Smith, and I was assured by those in attendance that the young man did a fabulous job. I was thrilled to see the Buddy Holly set that was grunged up a bit compared with the somewhat straight forward pop sound of the 50's. I believe it was a band called The Monitors covering Buddy Holly. Next up was Third Eye Blind, being covered by Big Bad. The band sounded great, particularly the vocals, and I was surprised to recognize a few songs. After this point, my recollections are a bit hazy for a while as I was starting to focus more on my own upcoming Doors set with Santa Pachita rather than the acts on stage. I do recall enjoying the heck out of Loverboy right before our set. We did Light My fire, People Are Strange, and Touch Me. It must be some sort of journalistic faux pas to review the band I was in, so I will just say that the crowd seemed to like it. Unfortunately, I missed Miss Olivia and the Interlopers doing Jane's Addiction because I was loading out from our set. Deschtuco doing Ween had me back in the crowd and enjoying the set. It made me really want to see Ween live again. Friday night came to a close with a rousing and crowd-pleasing Neil Diamond set. The Neil Diamond set was such a hoot, that I ended up very happily back on stage, dancing and singing back-up on the classic song Sweet Caroline.
Saturday, December 16th at 191 Toole: As I mentioned above, I arrived just as the Harry Nilsson set was drawing to a close. Judging from what little I saw, the set was sweetly moving. Following Harry Nilsson was Proper Operator doing Boston. This set was a real blast from the past. I could not help but sing along to Foreplay/Long Time with a big smile on my face. "Well, I'm takin' my time, I'm just movin' on. You'll forget about me after I've been gone." Next up was Steff and the Articles doing a well-received Britney Spears set. After that was The Eulogy Project giving Paul Simon the bluegrass treatment. Late in the Evening was especially enjoyable. The last band I saw over the three day event was probably my favorite. Bucking the 20 minute set rule was Spacefish, doing The Talking Heads. More specifically, they were reenacting the film Stop Making Sense. This was a reprise of their Halloween set at Che's which recreated the entire film. This time, they played an hour's worth of it, and were really just phenomenal. The 11-piece band appeared to be more relaxed, and enjoying themselves more than they had been on Halloween. The whole set was a nonstop dance party, and I was dancing right along.
Thanks to everyone who participated in, worked at, and attended The Great Cover Up 2017. The musicians volunteer their time, and spend a lot of time and energy learning and rehearsing all new songs for a one-time performance. The venues were full, and not just with the musicians from the other bands. After a hiatus in the event for a few years, I am calling this year's version a great success, and absolutely hope to see it back for 2018. And next year, I will actually take notes so I can provide a more complete review of all the fun!

So, Spacefish. Note: They’re weird... really weird. No wait dont run away stay a while this message is brought to you by the intergalactic society of heathens. My roommate who isn’t the biggest fan of weird stuff( at least as weird as fucking spacefish) loves some of their songs. I’m gonna be real with you here if you cant stand weird ukulele, nuts baselines, and some strange af vocals its not for you. However this album sounds like one of two things happening to your ears:
1) An alien (space fish if you will) has landed on earth with 50 foot sub woofers and just started blasting so WEIRD SHIT or
2) You are tripping way too hard and need to listen to that unicorn next to you and just FUCKING BREATHE ALREADY. 
Either way give it a listen “Spacefish has Landed” and ”Lift Off!f” are buy far the strangest with “Rest in Pieces” and “Prize Fighter” being some good good music to my ears... I really regret not seeing this experience live in Pittsburgh when I was down there.
Pay your tolls
