  • Bio

    Bill Tucker is a musician and proprietor of the midwest united states record label 1980 Records. www.1980records.net www.reformerrecords.coms www.thinkerthoughtrecords.com for writing and photography head to: www.billtucker.wordpress.com Reviews of Mythological Creatures: "The sounds on this are weird and wonderful. His guitar predominates, joined by scratchy recordings of I don't know what, and then by beautiful string arrangements. Just when you think you've got a handle on how Mythological Creatures is going to be, the next track is a hilarious discussion of Febreeze by a roomful of people, simply labeled "Rochester, NY." "Somewhere in Pennsylvania" opens the record with Bill playing guitar over filmmaker, Allen Keating Moore talking about stereotypes. This is something Bill thinks about, how to overcome the differences in folks and find a way to relate to everyone. Scattered throughout this album are songs that explain just how he does that. But track ten, "Red Leaves," stops you in your tracks (pun intended); it's just a gorgeous instrumental piece, calm and daydreamy and I can understand how this is where Bill sees we need a breather from the angst and the reality of the world. What follows are some more experimental, noise/sound and some traditional songs and finally, the last track, "Rockford, Illinois" a piece with wind chimes/heartbeats/birds/wind/water (altogether) that ends the record in a beautifully peaceful manner." -TART from blog LOVE SHACK, BABY! "Bill Tucker has the power of both live and on the record company's ability to be critical without play teacher. Hij komt eerder over als een oprechte wereldverbeteraar, die boven alles het goede in de mens wil zien. He comes across as rather a sincere idealist, and above all the good in man to see. Hoogtepunten op de plaat zijn de woede in Westside Strangler, de melancholie in het instrumentale Red Leaves, de droge humor in Jesus People Van, en de track die als rode draad kan dienen van dit album: No One Is Illegal. Highlights on the plate at the Westside Strangler anger, melancholy instrumental in the Red Leaves, the dry humor of Jesus People, and the track could serve as a red thread of this album: No One Is Illegal. De stem van Tucker heeft het in de hogere regionen af en toe moeilijk om zuiver te blijven, maar dit klinkt eerder authentiek dan storend. The voice of Tucker is in the higher echelons sometimes difficult to remain pure, but it sounds more authentic than disturbing." - JACCO KUILPERS, VIA ..MIXED GRILL(TRANSLATED FROM DUTCH) Mythological Creatures 1980 Records 061980 to buy go to www.190records.net Blind Animal Courage EP Cave Sounds Records available through Cave Sounds as a free download www.cavesounds.net Illusions of Repetition. 1980 Records 031980 ILLUSIONS OF REPETITION WAS NAMED ONE OF THE TOP 50 ALBUMS OF 2008 BY PETE ANDERSON OF WZRD CHICAGO! available at 1980 Records on CD and Thinker Thought Records as a digital download (iTunes, Amazon, etc.) Bill Tucker and Friends/Jonni Greth and the Drones split Little Jesus Reformer/1980 Records available at Reformer Records www.reformerrecords.com Consistent Themes 3 dedicated Southern U.S. available at 1980 records www.1980records.net Consistent Themes 2 a release dedicated to the midwest u.s Reformer Records www.reformerrecords.com sold out Proclamation Compilation original recording of "yr freedom" Reformer Records available at Reformer Records www.reformerrecords.com Consistent Themes 1980 Records sold out
