Artist description Old Sgoda is the combined efforts of all of this jive. If I ever get a chance to front another band of like-minded indiviudals, it'll be called Old Sgoda...just so I can post the stuff on this site. Whew.

Music Style for lack of a better term; avant-garde country/western with hints of punk and Elvis-era rock and/or roll. All-inclusive junkyard blues greatness. Yeah like that yeah-type yeah, man.

Musical Influences Merle Haggard, My Bloody Valentine, Johnny Cash, the Swans, Sonic Youth, Spacemen 3, the Mavericks, Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys, Jeff Buckley, the Replacements, Rolling Stones, Spiritualized, black gospel music, and Jon Spencer (with or without his Blues Explosion).

Similar Artists it sounds like a bad Dwight Yoakam four-track demo being played through Steve Albini's disemboweled uterus. Or maybe My Bloody Valentine fronted by an acid casualty Elvis.

Artist History This is just a collection of the songs and recordings and such off of tapes I've amassed over the years...I have a shoebox full of four-track recordings I've made with or without a band...I've only been in two bands (That actually practiced)and the rest of it is just me making lame contributions to an already flooded music community.

Group Members Isaiah L Wood - a victim or a rural upbringing. Highly rural. Making music to take to drugs to cut grass to. Southern gospel-punk with the occasional blip of talent and songcraft. Lyrics about girls (mandatory), dirt roads, and stupid druggist's bravado fueled by cheap drugs and mountain dew. Jobless loser playing the blues for fellow losers to take drugs to make music for their fellow loser-man to listen to them making music to. Stupid country boy who thinks he has talent. Hated more than Geraldo. Fellow Players in Certain Songs: Scott Bloodworth - best friend, accomplice, and guitar lackey. Can sing just like Hank Williams. Can dance the Electric Boogaloo in nine languages. Matt the Drummer - Scott's cousin. He played trash cans for a dame to kill for (band numero uno) and actual drums for old sgoda (band numero two-o). Jimmy Crack Corn - the name which I lovingly refer to my software drum machine (a cracked version of a program I will not name). Mister Congeniality. Mom - because she made brownies sometimes.

Instruments guitars (which we eventually tune), drums or substitutes, and vocals. the estranged whelps of people with nothing better to do.

Albums I have a bunch of titles penned for collections of certain songs...but nothing official yet. um...Coming soon

Press Reviews I mentioned ...a dame to kill for in an essay I wrote once. "...a dame to kill for is the band I front. It takes a rarefied taste to dig the crazy rhythm of a bunch of white guys playing bastardized country-soul.

Additional Info Don't get your hopes up, cheese.
