ALARM #27 Summer 2007
 |
Queens Of The Stone Age
Beloved for their riffery and notorious for their spliffery, the only group of prehistoric royalty working in music today is back! Story by Tom Vale, Photos by Aaron Farley. |

Dungen
Author Lyam White speaks with Gustav Estjes—the brain, body, and heart of Dungen—about the shaggy Swede’s “retro” psychedelic washes, his love for Jimi Hendrix, and his penchant for heady jams that recall the folk, rock, and psychedelia of the late 60s and early 70s. |
 |
The Fucking Champs
Titling their fourth album VI may have been cause for some confusion around the ALARM offices, but Jamie Ludwig straightens it out with Fucking Champs guitarist Tim Green. New beginnings and new directions are the topics du jour for the San Francisco instrumental trio. |
 |
Author Connie Hwong speaks with the Ohio native who has spent over a decade making a name for himself in the independent hip hop scene, serving as a DJ, producer, and musician for a diverse range of rappers and bands including Copywrite, MF Doom, and Aceyalone. |
 |
Sharon Jones
Sharon Jones revives 60s and 70s-style soul with great élan and apparent ease. As writer Lyam White suspects, besides her amazing band the Dap Kings, this virtuosity has a lot to do with the woman herself. To investigate, White talked with Jones about her gospel singing background, her work with Lou Reed, and her potential divahood. |
