She was hoping for groups like the DELIAN LEAGUE. Despite the decidedly Prague leanings of it's name - the DELIAN League was a confederation of ancient Greek states , though it sounds more like something out  of Robotech - the group sounds like the Gin Blossoms' worst nightmare : all dirty, drop D , longed haired,blues informed, drive-around-in-your-big-ass-Chevy-Nova, bang-your-head-and-make-the-goat's-head-sign-with-your-hand, you 'd- better- wear- ear- plugs- rock & fuckin' roll. All this is not to say the group doesn't take risks. On it's new CD - which collects the newly produced LOCK JAW JAMES EP and the muddier NO REMORSE EP - the DELIAN LEAGUE does stuff a standard rock band wouldn't dare. The musical adventurousness pays off. The song "20 dollar girlfriend" is creative and soulful,while "train trax of the freak attack" and "G.S.M.H." live up to the Kick-out-the-Jams- inspired intro. "Mookie Wilson" and the curiously titled "Humbaba's Nature Bowl Scraper" get lengthy treatment. Ultimately, a good start!!!!         </B></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b701400000ff00.gif" HEIGHT="21" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Pittsburgh City Paper Feature</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>"A Delian League of their own"</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>In a DELIAN League of its own growing up in the '70s and '80s has left some surly, some disconsolate, and yet others filled with inspiration. DELIAN League, a group of late-twenty something musicians, has compiled the eclectic influences of the past three decades into a hard-hitting, turn-of-the-century vibe.  The passion of this sound stems from a compilation of musical roots from blues and country to metal and punk. But this variety of music is not to be taken lightly. "It's sophisticated, psychedelic blues-influenced heavy-riffing rock 'n' roll," Rodann, lead guitarist and vocalist explains. </B></div> <div> <B>The four-man band is as charged as a school bus full of lollipop-lickin' 5-year-olds. But unlike children, the band's energy must be seen as well as heard. Although DELIAN League's original music has members in the studio for a second CD, it is unquestionably a live band. "We put a lot in our shows you can't put on a CD," bass guitarist Sammy the Fish says. "We have a lot of fun with it, and you can tell." </B></div> <div> <B>All the band members -- Rodann, Chris D., Derek T. Dixon and Sammy the Fish -- agree that seeing them play live is the only way to appreciate their orgasmic fervor. "We're a group of entities that … go to war for rock 'n' roll," Rodann says. "After seeing a show you should get laid. You should get drunk.You should get arrested or be a part of an underground political movement." </B></div> <div> <B>DELIAN League is part of a movement in and of itself. With the genes of many musical species, the League has become its very own breed. Along with Kiss, the Stix and the Misfits, other bands -- Nebula, The Supersuckers, The Helicopters and Fu Manchu -- have helped them grow opposable guitar thumbs. </B></div> <div> <B>This evolution can be heard in the band's intense, guitar-driven rhythm. "It just drives," drummer Chris D. says. "We keep reaching up, engines full-floored." </B></div> <div> <B>The band's growth from the embryonic stages of 1997 has been a matter of sociology. "Everybody fulfilling the band as a unit, as 100-percent musicianship," has helped them adapt to Pittsburgh's music environment, according to rhythm guitarist/vocalist Derek. "We have really clicked together," he says </B></div> <div> <B>The collective effort can be heard in the song "Acido Diablo," one of the band's favorites. "There is a lean to AC/DC, then when it kicks in, it is punk rock," Derek says. </B></div> <div> <B>Teamwork is critical to the band's survival. "We don't have to hold ourselves to certain roles," he adds. Rodann and Derek sing and play guitar, and Chris D. even drums up back-up vocals while Sammy plays the bass. And they all participate in promoting themselves. This brotherhood of musicians is actually a stepchild of stoner rock, an austere underground sound that hasn't visited Pittsburgh yet. </B></div> <div> <B>                                       </B></div> <div> <B>                                                             Writen By Lisa  Craig</B></div> <bR> <div> <B><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b701400000ff00.gif" HEIGHT="21" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">             </B><B>  </B><A HREF="http://www.rocknrollreporter.com/main2.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.rocknrollreporter.com/main2.h"><U><B> Rock and Roll Reporter</B></U></A></div> <bR> <div> <B> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="1" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="626" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="VOID" RULES="NONE" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 295 WIDTH="622"><div> <B>Pittsburgh-based band DELIAN League's members come from all over the US; Cape Cod, Washington D.C, and Southern California. Being majorly influenced by the underground indie and punk scenes in these cities, DELIAN League shows that persuasion in their music on their new CD, </B><B>Lock Jaw James/ No Remorse</B><B>. The music is backed by a thick, melodic undertones that compliments their stoner rock exterior, which puts out long jams and distorted, fuzzy guitar chords. They evoke this intense style of music in the same vein as Monster Magnet, Kyuss, and Atomic Bitchwax. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Damien Galeone</B><B> </B></div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></B></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <A HREF="mailto:m_g_operations@yahoo.com" TARGET="_top" TITLE="mailto:m_g_operations@yahoo.com"><U>LET'S GET IT ON!!!</U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="mailto:m_g_operations@yahoo.com" TARGET="_top" TITLE="mailto:m_g_operations@yahoo.com"><U>Mmm,… Good Operations Management</U></A></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
