The Loose Salute

Any friends of Mojave 3 are friends of mine. The Loose Salute is both: Ian McCutcheon, Mojave 3 drummer, and friends. Built around McCutcheon and newcomer Lisa Billson, The Loose Salute continue the tradition of modern-day Brits singing about California, its coast, sunshine and surf like it was 1973. A little bit country, a little bit rock 'n' roll. A lot of summertime gems just in time for the impending solstice and bbq's.

Monster Movie

Don't let the name fool you. Monster Movie plays music antonymic to its moniker. Now I won't spend too much time comparing Monster Movie to their guitarist's old band, Slowdive, but wow it's as if someone awoke Slowdive from an extended slumber. But see, they're still drowsy from their nap. In a sort of been-there-done-that move Monster Movie dropped the wall of guitars from an eleven to a five or six. Fear not shoegazers, you still get a liberal dose of dreamy, lush, blissed-out pop, along with the occasional dance-floor number like "Driving Through the Red Lights."
