SOLID GOLD
solidgoldband.com
Andrew brought this to my attention: former Solid Gold guitarist Paulie Heenan was killed. When I interviewed Solid Gold in 2009, Heenan was not with the band.
Anyway, in less depressing news, Solid Gold released their second album, Eat Your Young, on Totally Gross National Product.
Guitarist Matthew Locher talked about why it took so long (their debut album, Bodies of Water, came out in 2008) to produce the sophomore album, "We've never been motivated by making records. We're driven by making something beautiful—capturing a moment in our lives that can translate to any place or time."
It's good that the album is finally out. I did a search for it on Amazon and the result was for the artist "Mo Solid Gold." It's probably mislabeled, as there really is another band called Mo Solid Gold, which featured Rob Hague, the drummer from my favorite punk band S*M*A*S*H.
Also, as I've previously mentioned, Solid Gold is playing at First Avenue this December 7th. Wild Belle will be opening up.

New Jersey's Goldspot just released a charity single called "If the Hudson Overflows." All proceeds from the sale of the song will go to the American Red Cross' Superstorm Sandy Disaster Relief efforts.
Singer/songwriter Siddhartha Khosla had this to say about the sonng, "When I wrote this song, it was really just a love song for my wife. In the song, the Hudson overflowing was supposed to be a metaphor for tough times - I never envisioned that the Hudson would actually flood the streets around my home. My heart goes out to the victims of this disaster, not just in my hometown of Hoboken, but everywhere on the East Coast."
If you want to hear the song, which features backing vocals from Aimee Driver and David Nowakowski from Scars on 45, you can check it out on Soundcloud.
