Live on 602 Radio, Phoenix 2009
Everybody always gives Ultra Maroon shit because they’ve been together for seven or eight years and haven’t put out a record. They actually put out a small run CD on Star Time records, but because I consider them friends I won’t post it. It was a horrible representation of how they sound. This live in the studio recording for 602radio.com does a way better job at capturing their weird swampy-jungle-rhythm-blues-punk. This band is only Dick and Mike, but their sound is full because Mike does the bass lines with his thumb while doing the leads with his other fingers like a true bluesman, but it’s rare to see the method applied to music this aggressive and actually work. Plus he has a wall of amps and a mad drummer like Dick backing him up. Sorry no song titles. Their set list in the practice space we share with them has little pictures of eyeballs and suns and things that I think are supposed to phonetically represent words but they’re too complicated for me to figure out. 602 Radio has been doing a good job of recording live performances by a lot of Phoenix and other regional bands.
