Skeeveland

Allan MacDonellwww.theskeeve.com
We all feel the Skeeve. It’s that unease creeping through the now. We’re deep into a season of disquiet, and the bad weather is here to stay. Skeeveland’s mission is to defy the malaise. Do not be worn down or sucked in. Never capitulate to the brute force and foul charisma of rank boors. Refuse to be complicit in your own undoing. Whatever it takes to keep the encroaching smarm at bay, bring it to Skeeveland. No topic guidelines. No dogma. Just don’t be a sap. Don’t be a liar. Don’t be a leader.

Don Bolles: Bringing Perfection to the Germs, Ariel Pink and Skeeveland

Drummer Don Bolles: Ariel Pink won’t go on tour without him. The Germs couldn’t play a set all the way through unless he was battering away behind them. And Skeeveland wouldn’t be Skeeveland except Don Bolles dropped in and imparted an L.A. punk history lesson.

Skeeveland Under the Annie Hardy Spell

Here’s a conversation you won’t have every day. As the lead singer, chief composer and otherworldly charisma source of the band Giant Drag, Annie Hardy was a cult figure, a mysterious presence, an aura attached to an enigma. And then some things happened. She is something altogether altered now. Annie Hardy has 28 releases available for purchase on her Bandcamp page .

Not only has Kevin Rutmanis, a founding member of the Cows, been fired from Mike Patton’s Tomahawk and the Melvins, he’s had the delusional notion that he is capable to going head-to-head with 'Now That I Am Gone' author Allan MacDonell in a charm contest. You be the judge, and let’s hope Rutmanis is more successful in his current musical incarnation, Hepa-Titus (currently merchandising on Bandcamp ).
