Description
Formed by members of Hella,Â TheÂ Flying Luttenbachers and LeButcherettes, Chicago No-Wave supergroup My Name Is Rar-Rar emerged in late 2000. Luttenbachers' guitarist Chuck Falzone and bassist JonathanÂ HischkeÂ deliveredÂ dissonance and speed to the band...Â Falzone's odd guitar timbre snaked between Hischke's ridiculousÂ synth-bass lines and collided with the playful tribal thump of ChrissyÂ Rossettie.Â Greg Peters (formerly of Xerobot)Â whoops, coughs and delusional ramblingsÂ transformed the band into a speedingÂ circus caravan - one that misses a turn and tumbles over theÂ cliff, time and time again. Â They recorded an album in 2003 butÂ broke up before mixing it. Years later, Nick Sakes, founder of influential post-hardcore nightmare merchants DazzlingÂ Killmen, and Rossettie hatchedÂ Xaddax - a kinetic, No Wave-y two piece that clashesÂ Sakes' jagged guitars and signature vocals across Rossettie'sÂ worldwide web of haywire electronics,Â meandering synth, and frenzied drumming. Their first album, "Counterclockwork,"Â wasÂ released on SKiN GRAFT Records in 2012. The Xaddax / My Name Is Rar-Rar split 7" EP brings two new Xaddax songs togetherÂ with a pair of newly mixed andÂ mastered tracks from Rar-Rar's final recording session.Â The CD edition comes in a choice of two different covers andÂ includes theÂ previously unreleasedÂ My Name Is Rar-Rar full length album.
