devil's night out

Heavy alt-indie rockers devil's night out feature Peter Slater on guitar and vocals, Jim Robison on guitar, Jaime Service on bass and Mark Glavin on drums. DNO formed in 2002 and are about to release their first full length CD - truths you cannot swallow -- on Animalville Records.

Colin Clary of Vermont's premier entertainment weekly, Seven Days, says, "Their music combines the crunch and chug of hardcore with a bit of the heart- and throat-rending bitterness of early '90's grunge." It's a dynamic mix guaranteed to raise your blood pressure.

Dirtminers

The musical swamp known as the Dirtminers swirls unevenly around singer/guitarist Raph (pronounced "Rayf") Worrick. Raised on the Dark Continent, Worrick (never call him "Ralph") has been writing songs since he was a small child, so he really knows how to do it now.

Addicted to thoroughly beaten guitars and dimestore sorrow, the Dirtminers are fueled by high octane cynicism. Their shows run the gamut from minimalist to extreme -- from two lonely men with guitar and snare drum all the way up to a ten piece band in tuxes.






On Meat and Electricity, their new CD EP on Animalville Records, the band covers wide territory as well. It calls up raucous echos of the Faces, T. Rex and Graham Parker on some songs, while summoning the spare, dark intensity of Warren Zevon or Gillian Welch on others. The influences may be broad and obscure, but the music is as American as county fair carnys and rain-soaked hitchhikers.

Mark LeGrand

Voted one of Vermont's Top 10 discs of 2002 by both the Burlington Free Press and Seven Days!
"Each and every one of these songs -- all penned by LeGrand -- is a little gem, All Dressed Up a crowning achievement."

Pamela Polston, Seven Days

"LeGrand writes songs (Hank) Williams might well have sent to the top of a different era's country charts, straightforward and irrefutable as the moon's partnership with June."

William Craig, The Valley News

Available now from Animalville Records for $10.
