TIGER BOMB is an all female garage-pop outfit from Portland, Maine, featuring Chris Horne from The Brood and Lynda Mandolyn from Fabulous Disaster, who have combined forces in a new rock & pop sound explosion, backed by the dynamic duo of Amanda Ayotte on bass & Jessica Smith on drums. Tiger Bomb is an all-girl feline frenzy that fuses catchy original garage-pop songs with tight harmonies, ferocious guitars, and a high-energy attitude for a purr-fectly captivating experience.
Their debut LP โUproarโ features 14 songs mastered by the renowned โSlaughterโ Joe Foster (My Bloody Valentine; The Jesus & Mary Chain), and comes wrapped in original cover-art painted by Lisa Petrucci (Something Weird Video) in her infamous โLiddle Kiddlesโ style. Liner notes by the esteemed rock-music writer Jeff Tamarkin (Goldmine Magazine), pop-musician Paul Collins (Nerves; The Beat), and popular international radio personalities Mal Thursday and Palmyra Delran.
With their second album, 'Sugar Buzz', Tiger Bomb releases 15 original garage-pop songs recorded by David Minehan (The Replacements, Neighborhoods) and mastered in NYC at The Lodge by the award winning team of Emily Lazar & Chris Allgood (My Morning Jacket, Vampire Weekend, Haim). Special 'Joshua Tree' cover art by Mort Todd (Cracked Magazine, Marvel Comics). Liner notes are by esteemed Boston rock-music journalist Brett Milano (Vinyl Junkies: Adventures in Record Collecting); singer, model & author Bebe Buell (Rebel Heart), and popular international radio personalities Mike Rogers (#1 show in Japan) and Glynis Ward (Crayons To Perfume, WFMU).
MAL THURSDAY QUINTET is a multi-regional garage rock supergroup established in 2017, which has been described as "a musical odyssey through biker-rock, psychedelia, freakbeat and swagger-pop." The band is led by musician/producer/radio host Mal Thursday, a mainstay of the Western Mass music scene of the '90s, when he ran the indie label Chunk Records and programmed the Bay State Cabaret series at the Bay State Hotel in Northampton. The Northeast chapter of the Quintet features guitarists Frank Padellaro (King Radio) and Greg Saulmon (The Glad Machine), bassist and keyboard genius Robert Sherwood a.k.a Bob Medley (The Malarians, Big Yellow Taxi), and Boston-based drummer Chuck Ferreira (The Shang Hi-Los, Greg Hawkes's Cars). The other chapters are the Northwest chapter, featuring Dave Berkham (The Reverberations) and Thom Sullivan (Lords of Altamont), and the Texas chapter, which has featured such notable musicians as Keith Kinkle (Evan Johns & The H-Bombs), Augie Meyers (Sir Douglas Quintet, Bob Dylan), and Hunt Sales (Iggy Pop, Tin Machine/David Bowie). This is the Northeast Chapter's first local show since 2019, not counting an all-too brief appearance at the 2021 Transperformance "Unsung Heroes" show in Northampton, where the band was scheduled to appear as Mott the Hoople, but got limited to an acoustic version of "All the Young Dudes" due to stage management issues and the 10 o'clock curfew. The Quintet's first album, If 6 Was 5, was released in 2021 on Chunk Archives Recordings, and the second, Mods & Gods, will be released this Fall on Teen Sound/Misty Lane Records, out of Italy.
RAY MASON and his road-worn 1965 Silvertone guitar have been tirelessly touring since 1982. Starting his first band in 1966 and averaging over 100 shows a year, heโs like a teenager with forty-plus years of experience! Between 1983-1990 Ray released five critically acclaimed (cassette only) albums. He followed them with a single on his own Captivating Music label and has appeared on numerous compilations from such labels as Signature Sounds, East Side Digital, Shimmy Disc, Sound Asleep (Sweden), Dren Records and Paisley Pop.
THE ORANGES are the Power Pop alter ego of Frank Padellaro (King Radio, Pernice Brothers, TW Walsh), featuring originals & covers from Todd to the Weakerthans.
