S-E-R-V-I-C-E – LUNA Music, Indianapolis, IN

“5:15 p.m.: Birdsong sticks around after the White Moms’ set to play guitar, keyboards and drums in Service, a scorched-earth beast with a rock ‘n’ reputation that proceeds it. Jilly Weiss previously sang in We Are Hex, bass player John Zeps has played in perhaps dozens of Indianapolis bands and drummer Russell Simins now lives in Indiana after making his name as a member of the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. The fifth member of Service appears to be its glue: guitarist Mitch Geisinger. His economical style is all killer and no filler, which adds a sledgehammer to Simins’ dirty-blues tendencies. Meanwhile, Weiss captivates every onlooker thanks to her metal head-banging, Roger Daltrey mic-cord tricks and Elvis-worthy arm thrusts. Lyrically, she shows a provocative side with, “I don’t know what to do with my body; I’m so glad that you do.”” – IndyStar.com

“when Jilly steps into the ring—ain’t no playing’.” – Luna Music

“Melvins’ Buzz Osborne: 10 Albums That Made Me”

A new featured on RevolverMag.com features Buzz Osborne discussing the Pussy Galore album Sugarshit Sharp:

“The Melvins played with Pussy Galore in ’88 or ’89, and that was when they really put the hook in me. About halfway through their show I was like, “You know, I really like this.” And it went from there. This album is just an EP, but I think it’s their best record. It’s like the Cramps playing industrial music. And Jon Spencer is one of these guys that I think is one of the greatest, most unheralded guitar players ever. You never hear anybody talk about what a great guitar player Jon Spencer is. It doesn’t make any sense to me. I like this record all the way through. I like their “fuck you” attitude, I like the way it sounds. I like the performances. I like Jon in general. I think his sensibilities are really great. I’ve always been a big fan of his, no matter what he did.”
