Thin The Herd – TTH 05
Considered and labeled as a "super group" due to the sheer number of rock and rollers that has rotated through this bands line-up over the years.
I like this one:
"Hypnotic sludge from a Kill Rock Stars super group surprisingly eschews most northwest rock cliches. The vocals are somewhere between a chant and a moan, the guitars circle around, and random samples in the background add to the mystery."
This was their last single, I believe, consisting of Jessica Espeleta (Weird War, Love As Laughter), Joe Preston (Melvins, Thrones, Earth, Harvey Milk, etc), Sarah Utter (The Bangs, Plastique), Slim Moon (who started Kill Rock Stars but interestingly, left in 2006 to take various positions working for Warner Music Group. In 2008 he started doing artist management full-time for Shotclock Management, a company he owns with his wife, Portia Sabin who is a cultural anthropologist with a Ph.D. & now runs KRS), and Zack Carlson (who has been confirmed, via email, as the same fellow who helped write the book Destroy All Movies: The Complete Guide to Punks on Film).
Anal Satan is a Melvins cover. Did I mention I was born in Pennsylvania?!?
While trying to find out who owned/ ran Thin The Herd Records I came across two San Francisco Art Institute graduate's, Dit Cilinn & David Ohlsson.
