"Men of Distinction"

No music posted here.  I just thought I’d help spread the word about this new (very old) release on Garage D’or Records.  It’s out in a couple of weeks, so go get it!!!  Those that frequent this blog know that i don’t knowingly post stuff that is readily available, so even if tis were to get posted somewhere on the interwebs, I won’t link to it….you’ll need to buy this one.

Garage D’or is proud to return after a year long absence. Our new release is L7-3, MEN OF DISTINCTION. This band was the direct descendent of the Suicide Commandos, featuring Dave Ahl, Chris Osgood and new member Steve Fjelstad on bass. The album was recorded late in 1980 and early 1981 at the legendary Blackberry Way Studio in south Minneapolis. Produced by Fjelstad who was soon to produce both the Replacements and Husker Du. L7-3 were a more complex and brainy version of the Commandos with a twist. Lots of vocals and layered guitars with a unique approach to songwriting. The album contains 18 songs, all available here for the first time ever and lovingly re-mixed for this package by Terry Katzman and Tom Herbers. Here is a lengthy glimpse of a classic Minneapolis band who predated the college rock sound by a good two years. Lots of exciting notes, data and song lyrics.
Available November 17 2009.
