w/ Blood Lemon & Death Doula
The Prids
The Prids’ ageless core of Mistina La Fave and David Frederickson have been part of Portland’s ever-changing music scene for decades. They’ve always made music on their own terms. And nearly 30 years in, they seem to be hitting their creative peak with the release of 2024’s I Only Care About You and Me.
The band’s longevity can be traced to the tenacity of La Fave and Frederickson, a couple of weirdos drawn together in a Missouri podunk. That’s where they became the Prids, before relocating to Portland years later over their mutual love of Team Dresch. In the ensuing years they became a touring force and released consistently great records, like 2006’s ...Until the World Is Beautiful, and Do I Look Like I’m In Love? in 2018. Along the way they earned the respect of artists like Henry Rollins and Built To Spill.
I Only Care About You and Me is the band’s best and most cohesive record of their career—the songwriting, the performances and the production. Larry Crane (Elliot Smith, Cat Power, The Thermals) allows everything its own space, bringing out Geordie Thompson’s drums and Cass Yates’ keyboard and bass textures. Like the band’s career, these songs follow their own paths, as hooks and singalong choruses seemingly come out of nowhere.
Blood Lemon
The desert often represents scarcity, a place where few signs of life can be found. For the women in Blood Lemon, however, trading their homebase in the high desert of Boise, Idaho for the low desert in Joshua Tree, California would prove to be the right choice to give the five songs found on Petite Deaths their final form.
“Small bursts of either pleasure or despair,” says bassist and vocalist Melanie Radford of the collection comprising Blood Lemon’s sophomore release. “I think what came out was something eclectic and mystic,” she added. Using the seemingly scant resources of the Mojave, Radford, guitarist and vocalist Lisa Simpson, and drummer/percussionist Lindsey Lloyd, culled together their strongest set of songs to date.
Working alongside esteemed fuzz lord Dave Catching (Desert Sessions, Queens of the Stone Age, earthlings?) at the storied Rancho De La Luna studio, the band treated the sessions as a retreat rather than a routine visit to a recording studio. To make the most of the time away from Boise, the band stayed in an adjacent bungalow on the property, seizing an opportunity to “briefly get away from distractions in our immediate lives,” says Radford.
Death DoulaDeath Doula is the creative collaboration between Kerry Jones and Kyle Alexander, in love together, forever. Joined by Keith Charlie on bass and John Drislane on drums, Death Doula will be performing songs off their debut album Love Spells, released October 2024. Portland, OR
