Daily Bandcamp Album – The Shrine – Bless Off Demo
“On the night of November 6th, 1979 Black Sabbath was at their most drug addled and explosive standing. They were on tour supporting their newly released Never Say Die album and had a night off in Los Angeles. After knocking back a few drinks at the infamous Rainbow Bar, they decided to check out the local rock scene at the Whiskey A-Go-Go. Arriving late, they caught the tail end of a set by The Circle Jerks. Feeling intimidated yet inspired, they rented a rehearsal space and spent the rest of the night jamming. For an unknown reason they exclusively played Thin Lizzy material and Keith Moon was sitting in… These events never took place. But if they did, the results may have sounded similar to Los Angeles’s The Shrine. Formed in 2008, The Shrine play a houserocking breed of heavy, psychedelic, riff based Rock n’ Roll. Their debut, recorded on vintage reel-to-reel tape, by local hero Dave O. Jones and under the auspices of the notorious Chuck Dukowski, is the perfect soundtrack to any debaucherous gathering of longhairs. If you and your rag-tag group of riff-raff friends are planning a road trip to Humboldt County to “Score”, this is the album you need to be listening to on the way. The Shrine is Josh Landau on guitar/vocals, Courtland Murphy on bass, and Jeff Murray on Drums. Dig It. “-Harley Rother
Bandcamp Recommendations 11/10/2011
I hope everyone has been enjoying the Daily Bandcamp Features. I started that as a way to feature some of the good but not so free stuff that deserved some attention. Never fear though, the FREE feature is still here and has no plans on going anywhere. Of course it’s all FREE! Support the bands in any way possible. Buy physical media, donate a little currency, buy tickets or just donate.
The first featured band is called The Shrine. They’re from the UK and are not to be confused with Shrine from California. They play tripped out psychedelic blues. If you have a blacklight and some neon posters, here’s a good opportunity to put them to some use. Grab their self titled demo.
