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.
rhBand - 6.20.98
