yeah the SLU has been OOP on CD for a while. why? i don't know.
i've been fans of these guys forever and i've seen them live twice but i still have no idea what jennifer herrema looks like. i can't find a single photo where her hair isn't over at least 2/3 of her face.

One of the best gigs I've been to was Royal Trux and the Make Up in a very small venue in Bristol. Both bands were on fire.

never been to a Trux gig (shame) but from what ive seen on youtube - isn't the "fire" came mainky from Jennifer?Neil looks kinda indifferent.
― nostormo, Thursday, 17 November 2011 10:02 (twelve years ago) link
he's kind of second fiddle to Jennifer, yes. She's the real deal though, I think she was wearing a kaftan at the show I was at, proper Marianne Faithful rock star cool.

lol I guess in terms of enthusiasm/stage presence maybe but musically? gtfo

well yes, my answer was to the previous post, about the gig I went to. I don't think anyone would argue contrary to what you say on Hagerty being the compositional/ musical force.

Announcing First Object from FEATHERED FISH: A New Collaboration between Jennifer Herrema and Pamela Love
FEATHERED FISH WEBSITE
http://cdn.e2ma.net/userdata/1702443/images/xlarge/e1360775181.jpg
It all started when artist and musician Jennifer Herrema approached her favorite jewelry designer Pamela Love about collaborating on a remake of the iconic Royal Trux skull ring. Pamela, a longtime fan of Jennifer’s and a musician herself, immediately said yes. The two quickly hit it off and realized that they had way more in common than just skull rings. The ideas started flowing between the two and they were just too good not to see through. Thanks to a collaborative partnership with record label Drag City, Feathered Fish took flight. The name honors Jennifer and Pamela's shared Pisces status and owes inspiration to a 1966 song by Arthur Lee of the psychedelic LA band, Love. Feathered Fish combines Pamela’s experience and vision, finely honed through running her eponymous jewelry line, with Jennifer’s prowess not only as rock royalty but also as a clothing and jewelry designer in her own right.
The debut object from Feathered Fish is a reimagining of that Royal Trux skull ring that brought Jennifer and Pamela's heads together in the beginning. They retained the skull from the original design, added a fitting traditional tribal motif and replaced the crossbones with crossed arrows. Made from sterling silver, the ring is limited to 40 pieces. Herrema and Love have way more than just jewelry up their sleeves. Feathered Fish will produce roughly four American-made artifacts each year, ranging from jewelry to art objects to clothing, each of a similarly limited edition. What they come out with is limited only by their imaginations and what’s legal to cross state lines. Tune in every few months to see what they come up with next. Expect a proliferation of good vibes.

it is interesting to wonder if they'll sound like old royal trux songs or if they'll sound like some ungodly mashup of RTX and the howling hex, like blaring hair-metal guitars in polka rhythm

this is my guess

i read a thing (on p4k?) that said new, so i can believe new until i hear otherwise. some of the stuff about neil playing twin infinitives in brooklyn talked about him & jennifer talking about it so maybe stuff went from there.
also props to n/a for writing this meta-referential faux-trux lyric: blaring hair-metal guitars in polka rhythm

that's what
Still amazing. So many of their records are perfect for me and this is is one of only box sets that I love almost everything on. Also for a singles and odds and sods collection is also surprisingly a good place to start for introductions.I miss Neil and Jennifer togethor thats for sure. Apart from sporadic intervention I have lost track of both artists solo careers though - seems a little tricky to know where to dip in.
― Hinklepicker, Tuesday, 9 July 2013 09:50 (ten years ago) link
I just re-bought Pound For Pound which I kind of disliked as a water-treading, phoning it in effort when it came out. Maybe true, but it's great too. No bad albums from this band.
