Screaming Trees: Firing
out from the backwoods
4
By Mike Rubin
Tonight at the Blind Pig marks
the return to civilization of SST
recording artists Screaming Trees as
they take their backwoods barrage
out of the untamed wilds of the
Pacific Northwest and into the neo-
neon nihilism of Ann Arbor.
Packing an intense wah-wah wallop,
Screaming Trees hail from the
teeming metropolis of Ellensburg,
Washington (population 13,000), a
land where chainsaws are usually
associated with lumber and not with
the guitar riffs that this overweight
x
quartet wickedly kick out.
Just how far out in the four sticks
does this frenzied foursome reside?
Try a three-hour drive through the
Cascades just to get to Seattle.-There
should be about as much chance of
finding a hard-rocking original outfit
out there in out-house oblivion as
finding an industrial drone ensemble
in Escanaba; yet rock the Trees do,
and they have their new LP Even, If,
And Especially When to prove it.
Like the Amboy Dukes' (Ted
Nugent in his pre-loincloth days)
lost masterpiece, the record recalls
the '60s without love beads, op-art,
paisley worship, or Seeds' covers.
Eschewing the cheezy calliope lope
of farfisa organ for the face-forward
fury of feedback, the band sounds
"psychedelic" without that tag's
glitzy fashion trappings.
With Mark Lanegan's vocals
leaving trippy trails and Gary Lee
Conner's guitar slashing straight out
to anyplace, Screaming Trees sound
like a band that time forgot (c'mon,
nobody's really named "Gary Lee"
these days). Without reverting to
retro-reverentia-dementia, the band's
hammer-headed hooks hearken back
to the days when fuzz-fueled rock
spread out in sonic streams all over
the small towns and giant garages of
this nation, touching places where
running water was just a rumor and
Sasquatch was a sex symbol.
Though I may be more partial to the
'70s (and am doing my best to bring
back mood rings, pet rocks, and me-
first attitudes), Screaming Trees
'60s-inspired insanity ranks pretty
high in my little red book.
Catch the Screaming Trees
tonight at the Blind Pig. Showtime
is set for 10 p.m., opening band to
be announced. Be there or grow your
hair.
