The Black Watch - End of When (Audio CD - Sep 10, 2013)

Los Angeles band the black watch has released 17 records since 1988 and is, according to the equally venerable Trouser Press, a national treasure of fuzzy-jangly-catchy super literate indie pop. Joined since 2008 by ex-The Chills lead guitarist and singer Steven Schayer, the band has a live sound that the Austin Chronicle has called VU meets Soft Boys madness. Interestingly, founder John Andrew Fredrick has just published his second work of fiction, a novel about an indie rock band; it s called The King of Good Intentions (Verse Chorus Press) and pre-orders and early Amazon sales have been nothing less than astonishing the best VCP have enjoyed in 20 years in the business! Fredrick has been giving readings accompanied by solo acoustic shows in order to promote the novel, and a full-band tour is in the works for Fall 2013.
