chilli Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 interesting music are delighted to announce an evening with JASON RINGENBERG-THE ORIGINAL ROOTS-PUNK BARNSTORMERMon 9th May 05The TunnelsCarnegies BraeAberdeenDoors 8pmEntrance 5It has been written that most of us go to our graves with our music still inside us. Jason Ringenberg has nothing to fear. He's been hailed as an alt-country luminary, creator and aggressive cow-punk perfector, and now a tireless, barnstorming roots punk solo performer. Formerly of Jason and The Scorchers who produced an unholy union of country and punk rock which was met in some circles with turbidity, but was ultimately upheld and critically acclaimed by anyone with a soul as "TNT from Tennessee." The Scorchers commenced to laying waste to venues both at home and abroad, bringing their infamous, eviscerating live performances to indefatigable heights and gladly throwing themselves over the proverbial edge. When the band split prematurely in 1989. Jason found time to rediscover his country roots with his 1992 solo venture ONE FOOT IN THE HONKY TONK. The Scorchers regrouped to unleash slew of stark, arse-crumpling LPs in the mid-90's. With that kind ghost of the Scorchers finally exorcised in 1999 (Jason prefers the term "semi-retired"), it was time to set out building his future, and people, he likes to build it tall, with all killer/no filler spring-fed country goodness. The new millennium saw the release of A POCKET FULL OF SOUL, a stripped-down affair chock full of bricks-and-mortar countryside themes - finding it, keeping it, losing it, giving it away. His legacy was expanded with ALL OVER CREATION, which provided collaborations and duets with everyone from Steve Earle to Swan Dive to UK rockers The Wildhearts, adding essential hues to Jason's eclectic prism of light, sound and history. Seeking and finding critical acclaim on the same level or better as that of the Scorchers, it redefined his career. The live shows featured Jason on guitar and harmonica, the new bark shop folkster, but even alone he burns with the intensity of a dozen radioactive cattlemen. Not your daddy's country. But daddy would surely approve behind momma's back.And now before you, gentle public, his latest CD, is the culmination of Jason's past two years in pursuit of the new American sunrise. EMPIRE BUILDERS is Americana, Hosana, trifecta and confection.Bill Ketzer, 2004 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nullmouse Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 Alas I couldn't make it this morning, although not through lack of trying. Hope some of my work colleagues turned up with their kids, though. Last night was great fun, that man is a total legend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
