“From pre-punk anthems to streetwise social commentary to timeless pop, Craig's career as a musician/singer/songwriter now spans four decades and a long list of bands.” Craig Bell is an iconic fixture of the late 70s Cleveland (also Connecticut/Indiana) punk rock scene. “Craig's catalog of recordings is impressive: albums by Mirrors, Rocket From the Tombs, and X___X; two singles with Saucers, (1979–1980); songs by Saucers and The Plan on the compilation LP It Happened But Nobody Noticed (1982, reissued as It Happened But Nobody Noticed/Temp Supplementaire on CD 2008); a single by The Plan (1983); The Bell System's "America Now" (on the radio-station-only SCREAM promo LP in 1985) along with various songs contributed to other compilations in the USA and Europe; What We Did, a 2002 CD of Saucers studio recordings released by Grand Theft Audio of Los Angeles; a CD EP Second Saucer (2009), a reunion of members of Saucers; as well as a CD (America Now), CD EP (Beehunter), and two singles by the Down-fi (2008 – ). Craig also played bass with Bloomington's Gizmos in 2014, including an appearance at Goner Fest, and recorded new material with them, 21st Century Gizmos Fans Can't Be Wrong, released in 2016.”
Born of a parade, the All Seeing Eyes are the pride of Dayton, Kentucky. The three piece of multi-
instrumentalists developed into the house band at Masonic Sounds Studios in that Kentucky river town.
Housed in a Free Mason Blue Lodge, they created the new LP “In Us We Trust”, now available on
Mauvias Foi Records in Europe. The trio was described as “the MC5 of the country blues” by Tav Falco
after a recent show.
Johnny Walker fronts the band, playing harmonica and guitar. He is the progenitor of the Soledad
Brothers and Cut in the Hill Gang who has toured singing for MC5/DKT and done session work with the
White Stripes, the Detroit Cobras, the Greenhornes, Low Cut Connie and James Leg. Matt Ayers (drums)
and Kane Kitchen (bass) are the rhythm section rooted in Cincinnati R and B legends The Guitars. The
band was formed to play a party on a parade route for the largest annual celebration in Cincinnati, Ohio.
It was quickly realized that the trio could fill the role as house musicians for Walker’s newly established
recording studio across the Ohio river. The All Seeing Eyes began writing and recording their LP in
earnest while working in and recording for artists in the Masonic Sounds Studios. They have played
extensively in the Midwest of the United States, but touring has been limited by Walkers preferred
profession, Psychiatry.
Mod Lang is the newest supergroup in town! Consisting of members of Shadow Show, Sugar Tradition, Fen Fen and Secondary Colors.
