HAUNTED GEORGE
Haunted George is the one-man band project of Steve George Pallow, previously member of the Beguiled. The murder by a drunk driver of the guitar player, Mike Ball, totally messed him up. He was like a brother to him and they were also sharing, along the Beguiled, an abstract noise project called "The Sound Lab" with the monikers of "Snuff Maximus" (Pallow) and "Radio Brain" (Ball), a 5 to 10 reel to reel tape recordings of various tape loops, beats and bass lines running, that is always been characterizing his works. A lot of this material actually took form in the Necessary Evils project with James Arthur from Fireworks, doing really good stuffs till they broke up after 4-5 years. That was the time he decided to go back to the origins, moving to Llano del Rio, buried in the Mojave Desert (CA), an helluva desolate area surrounded by nothing but Joshua trees, Jupiter trees, Cholla cactus and a dry horizon. That is the scenery where Pallow's interior peace took place. And so on, armed by a Silverstone guitar and a kick-drum set, he started his trip through western roots, writing punk-blues/death country howls about murder and ghost in the desert at night...and it's true. The first time I listened to Pile o' Meat (Hook or Crook, 2007) I've been swallowed in a Quentin Tarantino's movie, playing the character of a lost damned soul driving an American old school car in a Canyon, believing to be running away from a haunted pack of coyotes, as the unconscious delirium's symptoms of a flight/escape from ourselves. Rough and tough the way I like it.
