   About the Libertines US


the%20LIBERTINES%20US
Quantcast

This is the official myspace page for the original American band known as the LIBERTINES US, formed in 1983.

History:

Back in Cincinnati, Ohio circa 1983, the original Libertines (u.s.) power trio consisted of Walt Hodge (guitar & words), Randy Cheek (bass), and Joe Hamm (drums). Randy came up with the name while reading an old book (you can guess the title and author) written by a French aristocrat renowned for scandalous behavior... Anyway, after 1986, they expanded to a quartet, adding Jimmy D (guitar), and Greg Blanton replacing Joe on drums. By the early 90s, Randy had found success playing with the Ass Ponys. Ted Nagel filled in on bass during that time. Jimmy D, focused on tour managing for numerous bands including Ass Ponys and Over The Rhine. After playing and recording throughout the Midwest for a decade, the band went into hibernation for about thirteen years. During the break, their previous recordings were eventually remastered and digitized for re-release. GREATEST HITS is a 21 track collection from that era, and is available at a number of music retailers including CD Baby and iTunes.

Recent:

In 2005, Jimmy D conned Walt and Randy into a reunion of sorts. Starting with a couple charity events, they used the alias Los Amigos del Jimmy D. They had fun with the project, especially with fans who heard rumors of them becoming a mariachi band... with their entire musical catalog being tied up in probate court... Huh? No, that was not the case. But they did add "US" to their name to differentiate themselves from another band.

Now:

By 2006, the Libertines US finally returned to Newport, KY where they started. With longtime friend Todd "T-Lo" Witt (BPA, Wolverton Brothers, Go To Hell) drumming, and excellent new material added to their extensive catalog, they sound better than ever. The band is doing select shows in the Midwestern US, marking their territory like a pack of stray dogs.

"Jingle, jangle, crunch! One of the indie-rock greats of the '80s returns".

LIMBOGOTT SOS
The long waiting has finally an ending!LIMBOGOTT are proud to inform the world that our new Album "SPIT OR SWALLOW" FEAT JAY GRODON OF ORGY is now available !!!! in stores and on itunes as well. We all were supported by a lot of persons in different ways and we were also honoured to work with successful, well-known, creative people. Jay Gordon came to the aid of the production - he is known for being singer in Orgy, but as a producer for Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit or Korn too. The album was mixed by Sylvia Massy Shivy (System Of A Down, Tool, Slayer) and John Fryer (Nine Inch Nails, Depeche Mode, HIM, Cradle Of Filth) who were easy and nice to work with. Chris Pohl took the microphone for the song "Haus der Lüge" (German for "House Of A Lie") and made it to the hottest cover song ever (original by "Einstürzende Neubauten")! You can listen to it on: www.myspace.com/limbogottsos
i hopw to see you all over here, so we can have a talk all teh best to you pharma of limbogott
