Noise that thrills us in a way we want to scream out loud…
Bits & Pieces by MR. AIRPLANE MAN
MR. AIRPLANE MAN is Margaret Garrett (guitar & vocals) and Tara McManus (drums, organ and vocals) from Boston, Massachusetts. The band started first in the late 90s producing a welter of noise inspired by Mississippi hill country blues, Memphis weirdo rock and roll,
drony VU, bad ass Stooges and garage heat. They released three records and toured with some big names: Morphine, The Reigning Sound, White Stripes, Detroit Cobras, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Dirtbombs and The Blues Explosion among others. Last year, after more than
a ten-year break Tara and Margaret came back together for some live shows and plans
for a new LP. But first here’s some exciting stuff from the band’s past. BITS AND PIECES
is a collection of odds and ends culled from the duo’s private tapes and will be released
on a limited edition cassette (digital version is also available) via Chicago label Girlsville.
If you like your blues raw, intense, passionate, sexy, honest and powerful have a listen here. A stream of glowing fuel for heart and soul. No special effects. These devoted DIY ladies are for real, doing it THEIR electrifying way. Fix yourself a drink, dim the lights,
press the button and experience the cutting gloominess…
