June of 44 first began work for what would become Engine Takes to the Water in New York City in the fall of 1994.   The band toured extensively and reached as far as Australia. Often referred to as the punk rock pirates of the math rock world, June of 44 were a collective from 1994–2000. All the members were living in different cities at the time. This seminal band created music that ranged from experimental jazz to ambient dub to angular post punk.   Debut album Engine Takes to the Water (1995) drew comparisons with both Slint and Will Oldham. The following year's Tropics and Meridians saw the band compared to Tortoise and The For Carnation. Drummer Doug Scharin had started HiM as a side project, which sometimes also featured bassist Fred Erskine, and Scharin also later started the avant-garde band Out in Worship. Meadows also had a side project, forming Sonora Pine with Tara Jane O'Neill. June of 44 released three further albums, incorporating more electronics and jazz influences, before the band split up in 1999.   Members: Fred Erskine - bass guitar Sean Meadows - vocals, guitar Jeff Mueller - vocals, guitar Doug Scharin - drums   Studio albums: Engine Takes to the Water (1995) Tropics and Meridians (1996) Four Great Points (1998) Anahata (1999)   Live albums: In the Fishtank 6 (1999) "South East Boston" / "Dexterity of Luck" (2001)   EPs: The Anatomy of Sharks (1997)

Belgian cinematic indie rock band revolving around two basses. Fragile universe oscillating between outrageous intimacy and contained explosion. Permeated by Dead Man Ray, Tortoise,
Do Make Say Think, Karate, Motorpsycho & peers. Proudly hosted by Honest House.With its second album 'Dis-location', recorded, mixed, mastered and produced by Peter Deimel at Studio Black Box (F) between May and July 2024, the band has taken significant steps forward that blend a return to sound straight from the amps with an increased emphasis on electronic elements in the composition process. The six new tracks explore themes of life, society, and human relationships, and include a trilogy inspired by the flooding in the Vesdre valley. ‘Dis-location’ : an album title which is, as such, a political statement statement about the state of the world.
