I'm thinking of the pain I can't recall
The weight I carry not the world at all
I'm still amazed we're here today
I'm down the open mouth of wonder.
“Franklin Bruno…the kind of very disciplined and productive guy who writes three songs before breakfast…classic pop…”
“Lou Barlow…the music is cathartic in quite the opposite of the usual way…Sebadoh/Sentridoh’s music is so introverted that it’s more like they’re having the catharsis and you’re listening in sympathy.”
BRUNO/BARLOW cassette reviews by BOB BANNISTER
ON SITE #10 May 1991 (pages 31-32) BOB BANNISTER, Editor
Previously on Fuckin’ Record Reviews…
Bob Bannister continues to be an encyclopedic source of approachable and discerning criticism at Goodreads (and other places), where he reviews more books in a single year than the rest of us will ever hold in our hands again. Bob was also the guitar and songwriting kingpin in FIRE IN THE KITCHEN, conjured outré psych as TONO-BUNGAY, plays guitar in P.G. SIX and ESCAPE BY OSTRICH with former members of The SCENE IS NOW and is currently working with the indomitable ROSE THOMAS BANNISTER.
Seems there are a lot bands named Fire In The Kitchen in the world. Bob’s FITK was a NYC fixture in the late 80’s and early 90’s, a great one at that, fronted by Bob and drummer Robert Dennis, who, as partially noted above, continue to play together in the 20teens in Escape By Ostrich and The Scene Is Now, as well as others.
FIRE IN THE KITCHEN review by Gerard Cosloy from page 22 of Conflict 51 (Fall 1990): “If Fire In The Kitchen came in at the tail end of new wave, they’d be as popular as, oh, say the Rumour. If they held their breath for five years, they’d be twice as big…Oh, almost forgot, Television, MX-80 Sound, Slovenly, Hate Dogs (I hope this looks nice in a press kit).”
FRANKLIN BRUNO! The man lives in Queens, NY and is still working his excellent craft in 2020 with The HUMAN HEARTS.
The band’s most recent long player seems to be Another (2012), although Bruno has certainly performed more recent compositions since then. He details his daily process here (updated as of 4/2/20!)
Bruno also operates a detailed website chronicling his work since the mid-1980s.
Clearly Franklin Bruno has committed himself to many worthy endeavors during the past 35+ years, including writing one of those 33 1/3 books for Elvis Costello’s Armed Forces!
LOU BARLOW! Well, we all know Lou’s been pretty active with the resurrected Dinosaur, jr since the mid 00s, as well as a reconstituted Sebadoh.
His stand alone website loobiecore still exists, although it’s hard to know if it’s been updated since 2004.
But who needs stand alone sites when you got a Sebadoh Instagram?
Lou also records solo records for Joyful Noise Recordings, with lotsa swell swag there too.
Lou at bandcamp.
Some more recent and excellent Shrimper Records releases (Refrigerator, Shrimper proprietor Dennis Callaci, Simon Joyner, et al) continue to be distributed by Grapefruit.
It’s great to know these three men - Bannister, Bruno, and Barlow - are still around and making great contributions to our weird and freaked out world in 2020.
