I love everything that I've heard by
rhBand, but don't know much about them. The duo was comprised of
Mike Trouchon and
Ralph Haxton (aka
Joe Bloggs), and they created a seriously narcotic drone that was in a class with very few others. If you like
Double Leopards,
Pelt, Birchville Cat Motel (with whom they split a lathe-cut 8" in '98, yet unheard by me) or
Surface of the Earth,
rhBand will provide the deep-tissue brainstem massage you crave. This album documents a concert in San Francisco in (obviously) June of 1998. Released on wax in a run of just 300 copies by
Klang Industries back in 1999. If you know anything about the group, please leave a comment! Better yet, if you have any
Haxton solo material or rare
rhBand to share, get in touch with us and we'll be forever grateful.

Yes! Was just listening to the cd on Drunken Fish over the weekend. I also have a cdr of live material here somewhere I can share. I had the good fortune of seeing them in 1999 at Transmissions Fest in NC, which was my intro. As I recall, there was also a massive drone jam where they and Pelt all took the stage! Superb.
