June-

"Genius"/"All of Me" 7"

June "Genius"/"All of Me" 7" (Squealer 011) 1994 Kat Cook-Vocals Andy Magowan-Bass, Violin John Price-Guitar Tricia Tuttle-Guitar, Vocals Matt Gross-Drums, Voice June began in August of 1992 in Chapel Hill, NC, and ended in roughly August of 1996. It was quite a ride in the meantime. Beautiful close harmonies, intricate guitar lines and provocative structures; the puzzle pieces of the June sound. They built up tension through the intertwining vocals and guitars, gradually exploding in a burst of energy. "All of Me" worked quite well in a live setting, as Kat and Tricia increased the intensity of their vocal acrobatics through each pass of the chorus. Not too shabby on this recorded version either. "Genius" had a trademark wound-coil intensity that led all manner of labels to their door. The band eventually signed with Beggar's Banquet and released the album I Am Beautiful (with a re-recorded version of "Genius" and re-recordings of some of their other earlier songs), only to split shortly thereafter. Both of these tracks were produced by Mitch Easter. You can find June members in a variety of places: Drummer John Howie (formerly of the band Finger), who joined after the recording of the Squealer single, now strums and croons for $2 Pistols, who have a couple of excellent records on the Scrimshaw label. Bassist Andy Magowan is still in Chapel Hill and continues to play in a variety of bands there. Last we heard, John Price was in Austin, Matt was in Maine, Tricia in England, and Kat in Los Angeles. $3.50 postpaid. Order our 7" records special deal from Paypal!
