about

Formed in 1997 by guitarist G.E. Stinson with bassist Steuart Liebig and guitarist Nels Cline, L.Stinkbug consciously chose to complete their line-up with a drummer who could groove — percussionist Scott Amendola. Both Stinson and Cline prepare their guitars with an assortment of springs, toys, paint brushes, an electric drink stirrer, clips clips and more clips, an egg whisk, and numerous other custom-made objects, and run them through a variety of effects, harmonizers and looping devices; same goes for Liebig — chopsticks between the strings, looping devices, extended technique, the works.

L.Stinkbug’s “instant compositions” are packed with dynamics, textures and virtuosity. The Allure of Roadside Curios opens with an electro-orchestral prelude, and builds to a roaring overture that capsizes into heavy grind. Throughout the album, recorded live at Bruno’s in San Francisco, the quartet’s unpitched, heavily electronically altered wakajawaka sprawls like a spacy, permafrost delta.
