i still maintain that "transmaniacon" by rtx is an unheralded classic

40 LPs???
― brimstead, Wednesday, 7 March 2018 20:45 (six years ago) link
I was wondering that myself

Given all the sideprojects? Sure.
― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 7 March 2018 21:36 (six years ago) link
lol I already counted and only got 29 - maybe if they are including singles, or there are live recordings or something
― sleeve, Wednesday, 7 March 2018 21:50 (six years ago) link
yeah thinking about it, neil's been pretty prolific post-trux
― brimstead, Wednesday, 7 March 2018 21:51 (six years ago) link
oh I forgot the albums under just the HH name, yeah looks about right!

Saw that last nite... I checked his feed at a good time ;)
Royal Trux (Neil Hagerty/Jennifer Herrema) are making their entire cumulative catalog (40 lps including Royal Trux, NMH, RTX, Howling Hex, and Black Bananas) available via their new home at Fat Possum. The releases will be made available to the public via streaming for the first time and the scheduled roll out has the first 3 chosen albums arriving on all streaming outlets including Spotify, TIDAL, Amazon, Google Play and Deezer this Friday, March 9th.
Wow - I missed the fact that all the NMH/Hex stuff is also coming to Fat Possum / digital.

a lot going on with that one, will need a few listens I think

my dream team-up circa 1997 has now come to pass

Yessssssss

Definitely not feeling the Judgment Night vibes of that Kool Keith track but it's definitely consistent with the wtfness of Royal Trux
Other song is cool. More RTX than Howling Hex, to my ears. Is there a release date for this yet?
― Paul Ponzi, Wednesday, 24 October 2018 14:37 (five years ago) link
Yeah, these traxx sound like Jennifer had a few ideas, and Neil said — “Ok”

Great Thanks

These songs have grown on me a bit... They have a “Trux-by-numbers” element to them, I’m not gonna lie; but they do hit that groove. (I feel like this band is the grown-up version of the kids in “High Fidelity” whose demo tape was the Radio Video EP, lol)
― greta van vliet (morrisp), Saturday, 27 October 2018 00:46 (five years ago) link
hmm
so as far as i can tell the new royal trux is jennifer, her husband, alexis from hot chip, andy from white magic???? kool keith just a guests on that 1 track— Neil Hagerty (@TheHowlingHex) November 5, 2018

Nice catch... Right when I'm about to buy tix too.
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Tuesday, 6 November 2018 16:37 (five years ago) link
is neil saying he's not in RT or is neil saying kool keith is not in rt don't get it twisted?

I'm inferring the former based on his 2 follow ups:

― sleeve, Tuesday, 6 November 2018 16:46 (five years ago) link
my guess is that neil handed over the completion of the new record to jennifer and isn't too psyched about the results?

Wut

If this is what it sounds like, wouldn't it be better for all involved if they just rebranded it as a Black Bananas album?
― John MILF Mellencamp (Old Lunch), Tuesday, 6 November 2018 17:16 (five years ago) link
Didn't he make some cryptic comment about being fired or being an "unemployed" guitar player right around the time they were posting photos of recording?
But yeah I think...wut is correct statement regarding this whole sitch
― chr1sb3singer, Tuesday, 6 November 2018 17:19 (five years ago) link
I think the run from Cats & Dogs - Thank You is faultless, but tbh did not enjoy the live album and am not excited about a new Trux album, and don't think much of the new trax
― Jacob Lohl (stevie), Tuesday, 6 November 2018 17:22 (five years ago) link
it isn't really clear that any of those tweets are related to each other, they're all several hours apart
― na (NA), Tuesday, 6 November 2018 17:26 (five years ago) link
but just that one tweet raises questions about nmh's involvement in new royal trux yeah
― na (NA), Tuesday, 6 November 2018 17:27 (five years ago) link
I think the run from Cats & Dogs - Thank You is faultless,Is this meant to be shade? Lol
― too busy or too stoned (morrisp), Tuesday, 6 November 2018 17:28 (five years ago) link
ha, not meant as shade - I'm including the dogs of love ep there too!
― Jacob Lohl (stevie), Tuesday, 6 November 2018 17:34 (five years ago) link
I mean, I'd expand the range a bit myself, but on its face that is a true statement.
― John MILF Mellencamp (Old Lunch), Tuesday, 6 November 2018 17:36 (five years ago) link
The one with the toilet on the cover def has its moments, as do the albums and EPs before the split, but those three records are just sublime to me.
― Jacob Lohl (stevie), Tuesday, 6 November 2018 17:46 (five years ago) link
WTF is Hot Chip even doing in this equation ?!?

― PaulTMA, Tuesday, 27 November 2018 22:56 (five years ago) link
haha very weird. who knows what is really going on, but I would think that royal trux couldn't actually exist without Neil?
― tylerw, Tuesday, 27 November 2018 23:37 (five years ago) link
I mean, Jennifer sort of tried it before (with “RTX”). I would think “reunion show” $$ would depend on Neil’s involvement, though.
― plant a twee or die (morrisp), Tuesday, 27 November 2018 23:58 (five years ago) link
I take it there's been no mention of this outside of his Twitter?
― PaulTMA, Wednesday, 28 November 2018 00:01 (five years ago) link
i don't think so! if i see him around town i'll have to ask. don't think there's been a howling hex show in a while. they've been getting noisy/abstract this year.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 28 November 2018 00:06 (five years ago) link
Tyler - you live in Denver? Did you go to any of those "afternoon tea" (or whatever) concert happenings they were doing at that dispensary?
― plant a twee or die (morrisp), Wednesday, 28 November 2018 00:10 (five years ago) link
yea unsure exactly what all these barbs and snark means exactly for what has gone on and the future of royal trux - wasn't there supposed to be a new album? -but it sure as hell does not sound anything like promising
― clouds (peanutbuttereverysingleday), Wednesday, 28 November 2018 04:05 (five years ago) link
There is a new album, and I've not spent too long with it but it's pretty weird/good?
