Junk Parlor’s new Melusina album: dangerous, wild, fun.

March 21, 2016

(Los Angeles). Gypsy rock and roll. Sounds dangerous. Actually it is dangerous but a lot of fun. And no one does it better than Junk Parlor, as their latest album, Melusina demonstrates. Melusina is like taking a drug – a big rush, continuing high, then addiction, often accompanied by dancing. True to its Melusina namesake, the twin-tailed mermaid long used as a symbol in alchemy to represent female sexuality and the dual nature of humanity, the album is a combination of wild abandon, joyful cavorting and dark tales. Junk Parlor’s founder and leader, Jason Vanderford, has conjured a gypsy-cadenced album that recalls the classic belly dance LP’s of Ala Turk or Radio Bastet and mixed them with instrumental gypsy folk melodies and a touch of rock. He weaves this bubbling concoction together with his howling, haunting voice and cinematic lyrics. The result is a unique music form that you just can’t get out of you head. But then, why would you want to? Melusina unfurls in ten songs, some instrumental and some [Read More]

What started as a group of friends having drinks in Los Angeles at Christmas time in 2013, soon flourished into a high demand rock band. As the story goes: It was a warm dark night before Christmas in Los Angeles in 2013. Jussi 69 (The 69 Eyes) and Alexi Laiho (Children Of Bodom) met in Hollywood, had a couple of drinks and… Alexi: “Dude, we gotta get together, play some Poison, Mötley and drink some Jack.” Jussi: “Ok, when?” Alexi: “Christmas.” Jussi: “Cool.” They shook hands and swore that they really were going to make this happen. The key word and the whole idea behind The Local Band would be to have FUN. No stress, no pressure, and definitely no business plans.
