News + Other Colors Show

All has been quiet on the Rock Den front for a while!  But there is a little bit of news!

I was a guest host on Rock And Roll Radio a couple of weeks ago playing records I was planning to sell at my garage sale a few days later!  The set list was:

Dick Hyman - The Topless Dancers Of Corfu
The Poppy Family - Beyond The Clouds (from a K-Tel Records Poppy Family comp)
Tim Buckley - I Can't See You (from his s/t LP)
Bobbie Gentry - Bugs (from Ode to Billy Joe)
The Everly Brothers - The Price Of Love (from In Our Image)
Another Trip (from the compilation Psychedelic Guitars)
The Monkees - Last Train To Clarksville (from their debut album)
The Guess Who - Shakin' All Over (from a Birchmount Records compilation)
The Tell-Tale Hearts - It's Just A Matter Of Time
Mitch Ryder - Breakout (from Breakout!)
The Gentrys - South Bound Train (from their s/t LP)
Mott The Hoople - Darkness Darkness (from Brain Capers)
Pat Benetar - No You Don't (from In the Heat of the Night)
Nico - Ghengis Khan (from Drama in Exile)
Barry De Vorzon - Theme From "The Warriors"(from the Soundtrack to the film The Warriors)
Martha And The Muffins - Echo Beach (from Metro Music)

My set was proof that there was still a lot of life left in those records!  In fact, I ended up selling a handful of them to Rock And Roll Radio host Doctor Rocker after my set was done.

A night of dreamy midsummer soft sike with...

Other Colors (Baltimore)
and local DJs

Wednesday, July 24, 2013
The Embassy
223 Augusta Avenue
Kensington Market
10 pm  PWYC (generous jug-dropping encouraged)

Other Colors is a “future folk-rock” and “exploratory pop” trio from Baltimore comprised of songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Will Ryerson on guitar and vocals, Pat Berberich on bass guitar and vocals, and Dan Whatley on keyboard, guitar and vocals.

The band’s self-titled debut album was recorded at home by Ryerson in 2010 and released on Baltimore-based label Genpop in early 2011. A quick set of tightly crafted songs driven by infectious melodies, vocal harmonies and atmospheric lo-fi production, the recording has a classic feel while evoking a wide variety of musical reference points both old and new.
