New Music from John Vanderslice – “Vanderslice Plays Diamond Dogs” – Digital Servicing Only

Earlier this year, John Vanderslice surpassed his crowd-funding goal to make his new album, Dagger Beach, by offering some really special premiums — including a cover of David Bowie‘s 1974 album Diamond Dogs. The album was originally only available for those who contributed to his Kickstarter but has since seen a digital release and, now, a college/non-commercial radio servicing. Here are some words from John about the project:

“Covering Diamond Dogs was instructive and inspiring. We made it in five days, top to bottom, with the same band as Dagger Beach: Jason Slota on drums, Jamie Riotto on bass, and Rob Shelton on keyboards. Ian Pellicci recorded both. It’s probably the most out, weird, and chaotic thing I’ve done. And I’ve NEVER played so much guitar on an album (that was a blast for me).

Having a template to work with (and then disregard if we needed to) provided an enormous amount of freedom. Avi and John from Avi Buffalo (who were recording in the A room during the tracking) guest star on it. I think the record is pretty fantastic.”

John will be on tour this month throughout the US and would love to meet your station. Contact us for ticket / interview opportunities.
