IMMORTAL LEE COUNTY KILLERS
In-between their travels the band recorded two full lengths internationally, a double EP LOVE UNBOLTS THE DARK (Sweet Nothing Records), and a box full of collectible vinyl singles. The debut full length’s descriptive title THE ESSENTIAL FUCKED UP BLUES (Sweet Nothing Records) granted a moment of clarity explaining the bristling, relentless sound of their style of blues.
The second record’s title, LOVE IS A CHARM OF POWERFUL TROUBLE (Estrus Records), also made a powerful and poignant statement. Revelation always accompanies LOVE. And with “LOVE....”, ILCKII revealed a more dynamic sound-scape, new drummer J.R.R. Token, and the addition of “II” to the name. ILCK always champions evolution and revelation. It is not given to hear such sound at all and none to hear it more than once in his life–William Faulkner.
In February 2004, the duo naturally turned trio by adding new member Jeff Goodwin. Goodwin plays the fuzzed Hammond B3 organ and Rhodes electric piano via his wood-grain midi-keyboard. No longer only a punk blues band, ILCK evolved into a new animal that genre specific geek musicologists (a.k.a.“scenesters’) are challenged to define. The IMMORTAL 3’s sound now lies somewhere between the third dimension of depth, revealed on the canvases of the great Renaissance painters, and the mod film, JAWS 3-D.
The Immortal Lee County Killers release a brand new limited edition single, “TURN ON THE PANTHER” b/w a cover of the Doors classic “BEEN DOWN SO LONG” via Sweet Nothing on April 18th 2005. The band return for a headline tour April 22nd 2005.
