Det er første mandag i mai, og tid for The Montly Iceberg! Denne gangen har vi en saftig godbit som heter “Lonely For Your Love”.
Howard sier jo selv at han samarbeider med alt og alle, og enhver som han spiller med er automatisk en Titanic. I dette tilfellet har han med seg garagebandet Bleachbloodz – som trøkker til med et heftig komp på et knippe Howardlåter.
Vi lar Howard selv fortelle, før vi kommer til musikken og bonusmaterialet!
Lonely for Your Love
-I wrote this song thinking to hand it off to a local R & B group. But at the time I was hanging with this young Ramones-type band, The Bleachbloodz—all motorcycles, black leather jackets, and chains. They said no, it should be a Velvet Underground song… so I recorded it with them their style, added some female harmonies, & this is how it ended up.
That same year, they did 3 of my songs at Kansas City’s annual music awards show, and someone with a cellphone camera shot it. (Search youtube for “Bleachbloodz Howard Iceberg” and then look for the video titled “Bleach Bloodz-Live at the PMAS“.) My guitar player Gary and I joined them for the last song, “Sentimental”, which was covered this past year by Norway’s own Lakeview Men on their 2012 EP.
The video is pretty fuzzy, but you can still see why they won the award that night for K.C.’s best garage/punk band. I recorded a few more songs with them, but within a year they had broken up, like all great garage bands.
