Artist Biography by


Bee Thousand
Dayton, OH-based lo-fi pop duo Swearing at Motorists teamed singer/guitarist Dave Doughman and drummer Don Thrasher, the latter a member of local heroes Guided by Voices at their Bee Thousand-era peak. Debuting in 1995 with a self-released, self-titled cassette, Swearing at Motorists returned the following year with an EP, Tuesday's Pretzel Night. The full-length Fear of Low Flying Clouds appeared in 1997, with More Songs from the Mellow Struggle (the band's debut effort for the Secretly Canadian label) and Number Seven Uptown both following two years later. By 2000, founding member Don Thrasher left the band. The Trouble with Sweeney's Joseph Siwinski was brought in to play drums. The Along the Incline Plane EP and the This Flag Signals Goodbye album both followed in 2002. A tour with the Hold Steady as well as an appearance at the annual SXSW conference coincided the release of Last Night Becomes This Morning in 2006. After an 8 year gap, the band returned with a full-length, While Laughing, The Joker Tells the Truth, in 2014.

SUPREME DICKS The Emotional Plague 1996

Artist Biography by

Suggesting a fractious meeting point between freak folk, noise rock, experimental music, and psychedelia, indie rock band the Supreme Dicks drifted under the radar of public recognition through the 1980s and '90s, releasing a challenging and eccentric body of work that earned them some high-profile admirers and enthusiastic reviews but few sales. The first lineup of the Supreme Dicks was formed in 1982 in Amherst, Massachusetts by a handful of Hampshire College students; while a sizable number of musicians drifted in and out of the lineup over the group's lifetime, the core ensemble featured Daniel Oxenberg on guitar and vocals; Jon Shere on guitar and vocals; Steve Shavel on vocals, guitars, and theremin; Mark Hanson on drums and vocals; and Jim Spring on guitar and turntables. the Supreme Dicks played and recorded periodically through their first six years, with fan and friend Lou Barlow sometimes sitting in, and in 1988 they made their New York City debut in an unusual fashion. Dinosaur Jr. has been booked to play CBGB but J Mascis didn't feel like playing the show; the Supreme Dicks were sent in their place and instructed to tell the club's managers that they were in fact Dinosaur Jr. Despite this rocky start, the Supreme Dicks started to develop a following for their freewheeling music and their willingness to allow strangers to join them on-stage and improvise (Beck, Cat Power, and members of Neutral Milk Hotel are all said to have sat in with the group over the years).

Working Man's Dick
It wasn't until 1992 that the Supreme Dicks released their first record, a 7" single on Funky Mushroom Records that the group described as a "double B-side." The adventurous Homestead Records label released the Supreme Dicks' first full-length album, The Unexamined Life, in 1993, and a collection of early and unreleased material, Working Man's Dick, appeared in 1994. While the group still occasionally shared stages with Dinosaur Jr. and Thurston Moore name-checked the Supreme Dicks in print, they failed to win more than a cult following, and after the 1996 album The Emotional Plague, the band began to splinter. Late in the 1990s, Jon Shere and Daniel Oxenberg opted to relocate to California, while Steve Shavel and Mark Hanson stayed in Massachusetts. Rather than split up the Supreme Dicks, the two pairs agreed to share the name and both played occasional shows, though the band stopped releasing new recordings after the 1996 EP This Is Not a Dick. In 2005, when the original lineup of Dinosaur Jr. staged a reunion tour, the Supreme Dicks were invited to open their first show, and in 2011 Jagjaguwar Records issued Breathing and Not Breathing, a four-disc box set that collected the group's complete catalog along with unreleased live and studio material.

In 1996 Jens left the band. They replaced him with Magnus Melliander, who was first hired as a live-musician but quickly became a full time member. [2] The band released their debut album, For Sale by Owner the same year with that lineup.

NEW BAD THINGS Freewheel! 1995


David A. uploads another great band, New Bad Things for you all to check out. When I first heard this, it reminded me a lot of Number One Cup. And I fucking love this! Here's David's review:
The New Bad Things were a Portland band have a sloppy, poppy, lo-fi sound. Released on Candy-Ass records in 1992, this album was their first. They released three more albums on the UK Lissy label, Pop Secret, and a collection of “C-Sides” for Blackbean and Placenta in 1999 before changing their name to “No Bad Things” around 2000.
