Thirty Ought Six Biography

by Steve Huey

Portland, OR's Thirty Ought Six fused elements of emo's past and present, drawing from the likes of Sunny Day Real Estate, Fugazi, and even the genre's spiritual forefathers, Hüsker Dü. Founded in 1992, the band consisted of vocalist/bassist Sean Roberts, guitarist David Blunk, and jazz-trained drummer Ryan Paravecchio. The group gathered a following around the Northwest, opening several gigs for Sunny Day Real Estate, and issued its debut single, "Huck," in 1993 on the independent Candy Ass label. A split single with Cavity Search's Gern Blanston followed, as did the 1994 7" "Eris," which appeared on C/Z. Thirty Ought Six returned to Candy Ass for the full-length album Bosozuku, which generated a substantial local buzz upon its release later in 1994. The band subsequently scored a deal with Mute Records' new American wing, and released the John Goodmanson-produced single "Talon" as its label debut in 1995. Their second album, Hag Seed, arrived later that year, and featured guest vocals from Sunny Day Real Estate's Jeremy Enigk on "Tourmaline." A tour of the U.S. and England followed, and in 1996 they joined the second half of that summer's Lollapalooza tour, playing on the indie stage. However, Roberts was happier performing on a local basis, and left by the end of the year; without him, Thirty Ought Six called it quits. Roberts subsequently joined the short-lived Umberhulk.

MAMBO TAXI In Love With 1994

Discogs

Artist Biography by Stewart Mason

The short-lived all-female combo Mambo Taxi were born out of the U.K. garage rock scene of the early '90s, but their music mixed garage with punk, pop, and dance influences. The first-names-only group consisted of Delia (ex-Cornershop, future Family Way and Baby Birkin) on guitar and vocals, Ella on vocals and guitar, Andrea on keyboards, Lenie on bass, and Karin on drums. (Karin was later replaced by the Voodoo Queens' Anjali.) Mambo Taxi released three singles, 1992's "Prom Queen," 1993's four-song EP "Poems on the Underground," and 1994's "Do You Always Dress Like That?" as well as one album, 1994's In Love with Mambo Taxi, before splintering later that year.

THE LA'S The La's 1990

Artist Biography by Stephen Thomas Erlewine

When the La's released their debut album in 1990, it made immediate waves in the British pop scene, as well as American college radio. Drawing from the hook-laden, ringing guitars of mid-'60s British pop as well as the post-punk pop of the Smiths, the La's' self-titled first album had a timeless, classic feel. It seemed like effortless music, yet that was not the case. From their inception in 1986, lead singer/guitarist/songwriter Lee Mavers was a perfectionist with a nearly obsessive eye for detail. Consequently, the La's were never able to totally fulfill their promise.

Mavers formed the group in Liverpool with bassist John Power, guitarist Paul Hemmings, and drummer John Timson. On the strength of their demo tapes, Go! Discs signed the band in 1987, releasing the single "Way Out"; it received good reviews, yet it wasn't a chart success. Similarly, the following year's "There She Goes" received good press yet stalled on the charts. With a new lineup featuring bassist James Joyce, guitarist Cammy (born Peter James Camell), and Lee's brother Neil on drums, the La's began recording their debut album that same year. The record didn't appear until 1990. Even though Mavers claimed it was rush released, the Steve Lillywhite-produced The La's received glowing reviews and strong sales; a re-released "There She Goes" entered the U.K. Top 20 and hit number 49 in America. For most of 1991, the band was on tour. At the end of the year, they went back to the studio to record their follow-up. This time, Mavers was in complete control and he took his time to perfect the album, re-recording tracks and rewriting songs. The La's disappeared without a trace from the pop music scene. Mavers and a reconstituted band resurfaced in the spring of 1995, playing a handful of supporting concerts that featured a couple of new songs.
