New copy,
This re-release from PDX avant-goth / free-jazz / noise-funk masters, Rollerball, comes in original letterpressed covers with booklet.
Einäugige Kirsche was originally released on CDR in 1999 on Portland label Felina y Magia, then quickly licensed by Road Cone Records in 2000. The next year, Rollerball, would do shows across the US and Europe with Jackie O’Motherfucker, Califone, Black Heart Procession, Ovo, and Cerberus Shoal.
Rollerball continues to record and perform with all three original members of Mae Starr, Monte Allen, and Gilles. The trio met in Montana, but formed Rollerball with Herman Jolly (Sunset Valley) in 1993 in Portland, Oregon. Jolly departed after a couple years, and Shane de Leon (Miss Massive Snowflake) joined for a decade alongside saxophonist, Amanda Mason Wiles. Wiles and de Leon both left over a dozen years ago, but but the core trio lives on.
From the troutmask on the internet:
OK, so more of the same. Kinda Jackie-O Motherfucker-y, kinda Necks-y but without the repetition and insane percussion. Perfectly at home on Road Cone…
What the hell? Did this just turn into R 'n' B? And holy fuck where has this bass player been during the previous 15 minutes?... more
