Redondo Beat “Meet Redondo Beat” on Dionysus Records

Dionysus Records presents our first release of 2011!

Hailing from a little village close to Gelnhausen Germany (where the Monks were stationed as Gls), Roman Aul a/k/a Redondo Beat had a knack for playing many instruments and with his talent recorded two full length albums and several 45s on his own. While working mostly alone in the studio, Aul always had a real rock ‘n’ roll band backing him on stage. With his numerous releases, Aul’s Redondo Beat created a small buzz in the USA, touring the East Coast three times. Redondo Beat had the opportunity to open a show in Frankfurt with headliners their 60s idols, the Monks, and toured throughout Europe as Sky Saxon’s (of The Seeds) backing band for a month in 2008, on what would turn out to be Sky’s last tour.

Dionysus Records is proud to release Redondo Beat’s “Meet Redondo Beat”. Aul’s influences run the gamut from early ‘60s Brill Building songwriters and related East Coast Girl Group sound, Creedence Clearwater Revival, a touch of Doo Wop, the sound of mid-‘60s convertible top-down summertime Southern California and early ‘70s teenage AM radio Raspberry City Rollers flavored love-affairs. It is pure pop as seen through the eyes of the best decades of original rock ‘n’ roll music with all the drive of late ‘70s punk powered ‘80s power pop. Dionysus commissioned Southern California Surf artist Damian Fulton to paint the cover and the disc was mastered by The Tikiyaki Orchestra’s Jim Bacchi. lt’s a marvelous listening experience that will have you traveling time and bobbing your head to some of the sweetest retro-pop-rock music you’ve EVER heard!

As some of you may or may not know – since I started playing bass again in 2010,  I’ve joined not one but two combos – and am playing in both The Dick and Jane Family Orchestra and The Skip Heller Trio with long-time Dionysus Records friend, producer and artist Skip Heller.  Here’s a couple of videos of the trio performing – around Los Angeles. This combo should be recording something in 2011, stay tuned!

27 years ago this month – the first Dionysus 7″ single

In November of 1983 while managing the Roads to Moscow record store in Tucson, AZ., I released a 45 by my then band Yard Trauma. “Some People” b/w “No Conclusions,” written by my bandmate and lead singer Joe Dodge, with nifty op-art graphics by our pal Jonathan L, then editor of Tucson’s Newsreal Magazine, became the first release on Dionysus Records. It took a year and a half and a move to Southern California for the first full-length LP releases to appear on the label thus 1985 has always been referred to as the label’s start date. However, this single is where it really started. “Some People” was also released in 1984 on the Voxx/Bomp compilation “Battle of the Garages Vol II”

In its 27th year, the Dionysus Records will forge ahead with “Meet Redondo Beat,” a full-length album by Germany’s pop-rock trio Redondo Beat in January of 2011, “Easy,” the second release by Latin Jazz exotics Orchestra Superstring featuring X’s DJ Bonebrake on vibes in February of 2011,  country and roots combo Ruby Dee and The Snakehandlers‘ “Live from Austin, Texas,” their third full-length release in March of 2011 and another yet-to-be-announced title or two.  For the first time since 1994 I may release a couple of records by bands I play in! Several out of print titles such as The Dils “Dils, Dils Dils” and Gexa X’s “You Goddamn Kids” plus many others will be repressed on vinyl with free digital download codes as well.

Thanks for your continued support. Love to you all!

11/4: Dionysus Records presents a night at The Redwood Bar and Grill

Orchestra Superstring features DJ Bonebrake of X on vibes and plays instrumental jazz music inspired by Afro-Cuban, Latin, and other modern influences. Composed of an eclectic band of well known Los Angeles musicians; Orchestra Supersting blends infectious beats and fresh rhythms in original tunes written by its members, and creates new interpretations of jazz standards. Their second album, “Easy,” will be released by Dionysus Records in February of 2011.

The Dick and Jane Family Orchestra featuring Jane Cantillon, Richard Ross, percussionist Mike Peffer (also of Biblical Proof of UFOs) and Dionysus Records’ Lee Joseph on bass plays a hybrid of folk, beat and garage – acoustifying Velvet Underground, feminizing Bob Dylan and featuring frontwoman Cantillon’s extremely infectious and humorous LA-centric originals.

The Skip Heller Trio features long  time Dionysus Records recording artist and friend Skip Heller with Lee Joseph on bass and guest drummer DJ Bonebrake. The trio plays an all-acoustic country, roots and rock ‘n’ roll set showcasing Heller’s songsmithing, vocals and  jazz, country and rockabilly inspired guitar playing.

The night starts at 9:30 and the cover is only $5.00. If you’ve never been to the pirate themed Redwood Bar and Grill, come early and hungry. They have some of the best comfort food, salads and sweet potato fries in Los Angeles!
