Dispatch 23: Heather Caught in Palace Catfight!

Heather Salazar of Solar Max and Palace catfight owning the bass!

Dispatch 23: We have started re-mixing a few Palace Catfight (a project of Heather's) tracks to be included on the Music for closetLames sampler this spring. Look for a sneak peek on our soundcloud page coming up very soon.
 Palace Catfight is a project Heather has worked on and off for many yrs. Vocalizing over loopy analog beats that we've created together with an old keyboard rhythm thing along with screamin gtr and bass.  Lyrics about confusion, defiance and chaos. Rhythms reminiscent of Sleaford Mods in their repeatative nature.
 Watch for this, its gonna kick-ass!

Dispatch 22: Solar Max on Feel Guide Comp Vol.5 by Caliper Music Blog

Dispatch 22: Solar Maximum is on the new Feel Guide Comp Vol.5 (with killer artwork by Zena) put out by the experimental music blog Caliper Music at their Bandcamp store. We are in very good company on this comp with the likes of Comfort Food, a really interesting track by Feather Beds, a Conrad Burnham track and so much more. If your interested, its a free download.
 We are also on the DroningEarth #73 Comp released by the Droning Earth Blog late last year, and its also a free download.
 Both of these blogs have lots to look at and discover. Caliper Music leans more towards the more experimental music side of life, while Droning Earth leans towards the darker, metal and experimental side of life. Solar Max is very happy to inhabit all sides of life!

Dispatch 21: El Pipe in studio with Solar Maximum!

El Pipe, Sammy and Heather after the session.

Dispatch 21:We had a great time in the (home) studio when El Pipe (Zoe') came by to hang out and add drums to some previously recorded Solar Max. A really great way to cap off 2015.
 After rolling thru a few times and then lunch, Heather and I strapped on the basses, Pipe climbed behind the kit (thanks Steve M.) for a Solar Maximum event. Epic! Felt good to jam with my old pal. Heather was in classic form.
 Look for these recordings to become available later this year at our Bandcamp page and all the usual digital music stores.
