MP3 // Come Closer / Dead Eyes / Lesser Snake / Going South /

INDIAN JEWELRY , a band from Houston, TX, were formerly known as SWARM of ANGELS, NTX + ELECTRIC, TURQUOISE DIAMONDS, CORPSES of WACO, PERPETUAL WAR PARTY BAND.

At the core INDIAN JEWELRY is a threesome (TEX KERSCHEN, ERIKA THRASHER, RODNEY RODRIGUEZ), but on tour they are known to shape-shift and add new band members in various cities to alter the sound and context of the band. "INVASIVE EXOTICS" is a caption of both the founding fathers and the adjoining companions, the structure and the free form, the tidy and the messy.

Renegades to traditional song structure, INDIAN JEWELRY mix drum machine, noise, percussion, loops, dance beats, guitar, keyboards, scraps of metal, and other sounds into an unpredictable mash of aural delights, drones, and melody. Already amassing a swarm of devotees, INDIAN JEWELRY is expanding our concept of song, and the way it is constructed and heard.

INDIAN JEWELRY is the secret that no one gives away.

RIYL: music based in cowboy motorik, hyperliterary chants and magical realism, concrete sound, endless drones, pre-cognitive dissonance, mesmerism, and atavistic junk.

“TWINKRANES look and sound like they where vomited from a time-tunnel along with a mass of influential shreds from music’s past, present and future; they are a swirling pebble dash assault on flabby notion’s of genre and the limits of most imagination’s. They’re pinch yourself viewing; either they’ll suck you into their bizarre but dazzling reality or you’ll resist with all your conservative might” - Johnnie Craig - In Dublin magazine 2006.

"avant-pop practitioners"
"car chase motorik combined with deadly cold electronics and seething vocals"
"driving, progressive, motorik pop pulse"
“They may have just captured the sound of aliens dropping from the cosmos for one last boogie before torching the unsightly unsavoury surroundings of planet earth forever”
"A heady cocktail of Krautrock, avant-pop, disco grooves and Gothic chops"

Review of Indian Jewelry gig with Lavendar Diamond, a couple of weeks ago in LA...

Support band Indian Jewelry deserve a major shout out too. Awesome performance. Great contrast to LD. It's been a long time since I've seen a noise band so good. Great use of moog-type thing to create these huge throbbing rhythms, so the drums become more percussion, and great slabs of guitar on top, buried vocals. I had trouble walking afterwards. When they started with the strobe, the music shifted to fit perfectly: it started to sound like the guitar was cutting in an out in time to the strobe: a great audio-visual sensory experience.

Houston soul destroying brain frying doom noise, what about peyote Suicide jams erm think the soundtrack for Lost Highway if it'd been directed by Harmony Korine, you're almost there. Nice.

[skinny wolves]

Irish tour starts tomorrow night in Cork!

"Dressed head to toe in leather and cloaked in the grey mist of a smoke machine, this freaky threesome are less of a band and more of a living LP, as if the grooves from a disc of shiny black vinyl had suddenly jumped off the record player and become a wall of a sound bigger than the stage. At times they even seem like they’re skipping or being played on some unimaginably old or dusty turntable. . . The performance is nothing less than appropriate to bring their soundtrack of dark nihilistic abandon to life." (Evan George,LA Alternative Press)

"clanging and feedbacky and fuzzed up as all get out-- in other words, extremely irritating to parents and animals but otherwise awesome."
(time out new york)


"the kind of stuff that inspires one to rob banks or grab guitars and make some sonic-damage of my own"
(shawn abnoxious, blank generation.)

INDIAN JEWELRY PRESS

"Indian Jewelry plays the kind of music I want to hear in my head during sex, invoking visions of wild animals - a lunging cobra, a snarling mountain lion - and erupting volcanoes. Mortal coil be damned! It was a full-on spiritual ascension, a powwow hosted by the kind of people you don't want to fuck with - the kind of people who make me think bands are cool again." - CHICAGO READER

"The mesmerizing, messy Indian Jewelry trio take you under their spell through sonic hypnotism. Their tribal beat patterns, droning guitars, and snaking rhythms lead the listener into a trance that their amorphous song structures do nothing to snap. Equal parts savage electronica and short-circuiting post rock, the trio of witch-doctoring experimentalists area a trip to experience..."
- THE STRANGER

"Indian Jewelry takes Suicide's tools – echo-soaked drum machines, repetitive neon keyboard pulses and stylized vocal washes – but then put them to work. Deep, dark, dour dance music is just the foundation for a warehouse-worth of clattery percussion, reverbed guitars, electronic churn, buried saxophone blurts and synthesizer space dust. It's a vortexing black hole of sunglasses-at-night style and nihilist highway anthems..."
- DUSTED MAGAZINE

Indian Jewelry blew the roof off the place last night.
Very short set though so there was no rambling ambience - just a very loud 'rock' set.
