 The
current lineup of the Crafties, Gerard McHugh
(previously of Michelle Malone and Drag the River), Candi
Jiosne (Viva la Diva,Group Sex), Brett Norton
(Catbird Seat, Sugarland), Allen Broyles (Josh
Joplin Group) barely tolerate each other, but have little else
to do on Wednesdays. With all the musical moxie that can be summoned
in the middle of the week before 10 pm, the newly constituted
Crafties truly define the leading edge of the hard-to-define sound
of their own playing.
Fronted
by Gerard McHugh, a fixture of the Atlanta acoustic scene, the
addition of the rest of The Crafties saves an otherwise brilliant
songwriter from the bland, gruel-stoked morass of coffee shop
and vfw gigs. As individual musicians, they have recorded a cornucopia
of CD’s and have shared the stage with the likes of Jackson
Brown, Indigo Girls, Cake, Jeff Tweety, and Matthew Sweet. As
a group they haven’t done much of anything yet although
they hope to change this with the release of their new CD!
"Palace
Fool" was recorded and produced by resident genius,
Rob Gal, over a 13 month period. The result is an ecletic mix
of songs heavily influenced by the works of Edgar Allan Poe. The
title of the album is loosly taken from his short story "Hop-Frog
or the Eight Chained Ourang-Outangs" as well as the songs
"Hopfrog" and "Trippetta's Theme". Overall
the CD is a diverse and refreshing take on indie/alt-pop music.

Gerard
McHugh - Yard Sale
Yard Sale is Gerard's second album and although not on Daemon,
I still strongly urge everyone to buy it. Yard Sale contains
my favorite Gerard song - "Tired of Talkin". It's
available on CD and cassette.
