3 Dream Bag is a home recording project featuring Greg Demos (Guided By Voices) and Don Thrasher (Guided By Voices, Swearing at Motorists) The former bandmates in the New Creatures, gathered together on several occassions in the early '90s and recorded more than 70 songs. Some of the material has been released, most recently on the new Gas Daddy Go! Records limited edition CD "Memory Garden." Other releases include the 4-song EP "A Frenzy In Frownland" (Gas Daddy Go!), split 7-inch with Tobin Sprout's Bevil Web (Simple Solution Records) and the vinyl-only LP release "The Fertile Octagenarian" (Naked Fat Baby Records). Fresh new review: 3 Dream Bag / Memory Garden (Gas Daddy Go! Records) ...while there have been countless satellites hovering around the gravitational pull of the Guided By Voices galaxy for years, it's been a while since the elusive3 Dream Bag has made any waves. With the recent release of the disc, Memory Garden (released in a limited edition of 250, all with handmade collages), Greg Demos and Don Thrasher send out another series of smoke signals, clearly indicating their lineage. With the British Invasion and post-punk flavors running thick through the disc and the lo-fi banner in full view, this is a must-listen for any lover of all things GBV. For the remainder of the audience, we'd recommend starting with the tracks "Anita" and "Whispers Ring" and work yr way in from there.... Kyle Melton for the Buddha Den (12/20/07)
we're not saying that there aren't important things to do in dayton TOMORROW NIGHT, september 4th - there are. we're just saying that in choosing things to do tomorrow night, we think you should chose to attend echos dayton in order to support local band black wolf fight and in order to help spread the word about cleveland's poetic dervish the world knows as fatal prose. besides, if you don't come all the right people in the city won't like you and then they won't make smart conversation with you at all the coolest places in dayton (of which there are two, maybe three, possibly one) and that would be such a dehumanizing way to live, wouldn't it? so honey, come out to echos. we are giving away life-sized posters of alfonso ribero. boomshakalaka - he's on fire.
in the interest of the public good and all other things altruistic and blah woo woo. please attend our next installment of echos dayton. the show features local indie soundscapers paego paego, the lyrical al green-isms of detroit's newest soulstress who the world knows as t. miller AND even more cool stuff such as performances from echos poets, interpretive dance, davey concepcion hitting fungos to anyone with moxie and more displays of various bliss. so, we'd be ever so pleased if you'd do us the honor of attending, even if you haven’t got a stitch to wear. tootles!
