East Of Venus-Memory Box

This record came out in 2016. It’s a supergroup of sorts with Michael Carlucci of Winter Hours,Glenn Mercer and Stanley Demeski of The Feelies,and Rob Norris of The Bongos. Carlucci,Mercer,and Demeski had previously been in the early 80’s band Red Buckets and they cover one of their songs “Jane September” sounding very Velvet Underground like.They also cover Tim Hardin’s “Reason To Believe”(Nothing can be as good as Rod Stewart’s version)and The Citadel from The Rolling Stones Satanic Majesties Request album. The rest of the record is pretty good,I only listened to it once or twice before. They sound pretty much like the Folk/Rock/Indie sound of Winter Hours And The Feelies. Michael Carlucci died of a heat attack before the record was released.
