Executions, Doctors, The U.S. Supreme Court, And The Breath Of Kings
March 26th, 2015
Editor's note: This post is part of a series stemming from the Third Annual Health Law Year in P/Review event held at Harvard Law School on Friday, January 30, 2015. The conference brought together leading experts to review major developments in health law over the previous year, and preview what is to come. A full agenda and links to video recordings of the panels are here.
The relationship between medicine and capital punishment has been a persistent feature of this past year in health law, both at the level of medical ethics and Supreme Court review.
Our story starts in Oklahoma, where the execution of Clayton Lockett was botched on April 28, 2014. NIH bioethicist Seema Shah described the events in question:
Oklahoma was administering a new execution protocol that used the drug midazolam, a sedative that is often used in combination with other anesthetic agents. Oklahoma had never used this drug in executions before; in fact, only a few states had experience with using the drug in lethal injection. Florida had previously used this drug in lethal injections, but with a dose five times higher than what was indicated in Oklahoma's protocol. If the execution had gone as planned, Clayton Lockett would have first received midazolam; been declared unconscious, then received vecuronium bromide (a paralytic/neuromuscular blocking agent that would restrict his movements), and finally received potassium chloride (the drug likely to end his life). A few minutes after officially being declared unconscious, Lockett mumbled statements including the word, "Man." He "began breathing heavily, writhing, clenching his teeth and straining to lift his head off the pillow." Prison officials prevented the witnesses from seeing the rest of the proceedings by closing the curtains. The Department of Corrections then called off the execution and unsuccessfully tried to resuscitate Lockett, and Lockett eventually died of a heart attack more than 45 minutes after the execution began. Although a Department of Corrections official stated that Lockett's veins "exploded," an autopsy examination performed by a forensic pathologist hired by death row inmates appears to contradict official reports. This report concluded that even though prison officials decided to inject the drugs into Lockett's femoral vein (which is a more difficult and risky procedure), Lockett's surface and deep veins had "excellent integrity." Another execution that was scheduled to occur that same night has now been stayed for six months, pending an investigation into Mr. Lockett's execution.
On July 23, 2014, Arizona encountered a problem with the same drug in the execution of Joseph Wood, wherein the condemned inmate allegedly gasped for almost two hours before dying.
The executions have prompted two important but different kinds of responses. In this post I write about the role of medical ethics and the U.S. Supreme Court's response.Read the rest of this entry »

Hugh Dancy Cast in "Hannibal" TV Series
Posted: March 23rd, 2012 by
WorstPreviews.com Staff
Last month we learned that NBC ordered thirteen episodes of "Hannibal," a new drama from producer Bryan Fuller ("Pushing Daisies") that will feature the classic characters from Thomas Harris' novel "Red Dragon."
The new series is described as an hour-long contemporary thriller that revolves around FBI agent Will Graham and his mentor, Dr. Hannibal Lecter. It is considered a prequel to the film franchise and will take place before the events in Brett Ratner's "Red Dragon" and Michael Mann's "Manhunter."
And today we have the first piece of casting news. According to TVLine, Hugh Dancy (Martha Marcy May Marlene) has been hired to play Graham, who was previously played on the big screen by William Petersen in "Manhunter" and Edward Norton in "Red Dragon."
No word on who will end up playing Hannibal. Stay tuned.

If it was ordered by HBO, it would be similar to the movies I'm sure.
But NBC is like PG13 audience. I can already see Chuck Norris as Hannibal.
on March 23rd, 2012 at 6:13:39 AM
Maybe if it was HBO or AMC..
on March 23rd, 2012 at 6:24:11 AM
TV shows are getting better and better now days I just finished season 2 of Walking Dead which was amazing, Game Of Thrones was one of the best things I've ever seen and Breaking Bad was edge of the seat tension that an hour and a half film couldn't dream of creating. This idea doesn't really sound like it could be that exciting as it's all been done with the films but I might give the first episode a go..
on March 23rd, 2012 at 7:00:51 AM
Dr. Lecter deserves better. Excuse me while I go make my own series featuring Buffalo Bill, with plenty of weenie tucking action.
on March 23rd, 2012 at 8:13:42 AM
@ Eavusteria - They should should make an entire series around just that scene. And at the end of every show he has to say "It rubs the lotion on its skin, or it gets the hose again". But in some comedy way, like at the end of a Charlies Angels.
In fact, I think I might walk around for the rest of the day with my c*ck tucked away, in homage to that very shot.

1 season flop!
Pig Newtons
on March 23rd, 2012 at 10:54:52 AM
This will SUCK so bad it's not even funny. The casting isn't going to work, NOTHING will be dark or "edgy" as those movies were. If you want to do a series right, you buy a late night slot on FX (like Nip/Tuck and The Shield did) or you go to HBO or Showtime. This is just a huge FAIL waiting to happen. It's NBC for christsakes! No violence, no mature subject matter, no Hannibal eating brains.
on March 23rd, 2012 at 12:20:06 PM
1986: Michael Mann directs Manhunter. Even with Tangerone Dream's fantastic soundtrack, no one gives a sh*t.
1991: Demme directs Silence of the Lambs. People notice, mostly because Fosters and Anthony serve up a tense battle of wits between a young woman and an old man. Anthony wins an Academy Award. Foster still hates men.
2001: Ridley Scott directs Hannibal, a sequel to the previous film. Anthony returns, Foster does not. Huge anticipation on this one, because of the fame of Silence, the decade-long wait, and the attachment of Ridley Scott, director of numerous popular films. Hannibal makes money, fails with critics. Whatever pop-cultural fascination bloomed with Silence gets strangled with Hannibal. Disappointment is a bitch named Jodie.
2002: Bret Ratner of X-Men 3 infamy directs Red Dragon, starring Hopkins once again, and Edward Norton. Film makes money, and is a critical success, although no one can understand, to this day, how Ratner managed to not f*ck it up.
2006: Someone made some bullsh*t called Hannibal Rising. No one knows who directed it, starred in it, wrote it, but it was made and forgotten. No Anthony Hopkins this time. Notice a pattern?
2012: NBC, one of America's oldest networks, and one that consistently makes sh*t, decides to produce a Hannibal television show. A PG to PG-13 rating is guaranteed, and Hopkins won't appear. Both Nostradamus and Edgar Cayce predict this show will fail. So does my f*cking dog.

Bravo Mink. Nice one.

I say because it's the only way to get hi to show up these days. Lazy f*cking Canuckian.
on March 23rd, 2012 at 12:57:55 PM
not gonna lie, im gonna watch this lol or at least ill give it try, i love the series, and i think it will be interesting to see how Lector and Graham got along before Graham caught him..
Mr. Blonde
on March 23rd, 2012 at 1:13:01 PM
@Mink - mostly agree with your POV chronology. However, Scott's 2001 Hannibal worked for me especially seeing the creative ways that Dr. Lecter killed 1) hanging and disembowelling Giannini at Palazzo Vecchio which historically referenced his Pazzi family heritage of hangings 2) brain pan frying Ray Liotta and serving him up. The first 3 Thomas Harris novels were excellent reads. Interesting to see that Harris is writing a book for this TV series. However it's a television show, so the adult content, gore, sex, tortures, captivity will be PG-rated. And forget about any scenes of Migs throwing his spluge. Rather I see them going for a Criminal Minds and CSI approach. Rapid one hour solve the crime using latest forensics and quid pro quo riddles between Hannibal and Graham.
on March 23rd, 2012 at 2:20:07 PM
"Oh, can you say 'n*gger' again, please? I need to ask Trig a question." LOL!
I see you're in form today Mink.
I had a bad day at work yesterday as it is very exhausting to deal with genuine idiots explaining the very obvious and it tends to go on my nerves which resulted by going over the top gratuitously. So, to whom it may concern, I didn't mean that at all.
on March 23rd, 2012 at 2:42:47 PM
Mink, the reason Red Dragon was successful is it was a faithful adapted script from the screen writer of Silence of the Lambs. As for Ratner, he almost f*cked it up by his lame attempt scares.
on March 23rd, 2012 at 3:34:51 PM
I enjoyed Red DRagon more instead than Manhunter.
probably the best film Rattner ever directed.
on March 23rd, 2012 at 3:54:37 PM
Now Bando's post will wake Trig up thats for sure ..
on March 23rd, 2012 at 4:21:03 PM
sorry dude Manhunter bore the living sh*t outta me.I liked brian Cox as Hannibal though thats it.
on March 25th, 2012 at 1:57:08 PM
Im seeing this getting canceled quickly. Unless hopkins joins the cast. Even as a narrator would be enough

Is my Tamukeyama Japanese Maple dead?
I've pretty much followed the care and maintenance provided for this maple. It gets some morning sun and was great up until about November. The leaves started browning and its been like this ever since. Is this maple supposed to have red leaves the whole year or is it normal for them to shed in the fall/winter? The trunk is still green as you can see so I'm not sure if that helps. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
All maples are deciduous. They loose their leaves in fall/winter.
The dead leaves still hanging on, may be caused from stress, like under watering.
It look like it is still alive. Gently scratch the bark and if there is green it is still alive.
How long has this been in this pot. The soil does not look to good. Did it come potted in this container?
Also what zone are you in, and when was this photo taken ?
Well.......MOST maples are deciduous :-) And that includes any Japanese maples like Tamukeyama.
It is not all that unusual for some JM's (especially laceleafs) to hold the old foliage through winter, especially if sheltered out of the wind as yours appears to be. Personally, I would not be all that concerned about it and you can reassure yourself by looking closely at the buds - they should be plump and somewhat pliable and should start swelling up in the next few weeks.
Hi Plantman56. Thanks for your response. Im in an 8B climate zone. Its been in this pot for about 7-8 months now. I planted it in the pot myself and the photo was taken the same day I posted the picture. Can you be more specific about whats wrong with the soil. How can you tell it doesnt look good. Any suggestions on how to improve it?
Gardengal48. Thanks for the response as well.
The soil looks a little fine grained for my taste. JM's like very good drainage and fine grained potting soils (or those that have too small/too uniform a texture) tend to impede good drainage rather than enhance it. A larger textured, barkier potting soil would be my preference. There have been numerous discussions on this forum regarding containerized JM's and recommended potting soils......suggest you stroll through the archives to get some details.
This all assumes the soil really isn't as great as one would like :-) It's a bit hard to arrive at those conclusions based on just this photo but IME, bad potting soil is far more common than not!
And I still doubt you have anything to worry about with the leaf retention.....it is not all that uncommon, as I've stated.

Scaly slimy crawling appendages are not easily embraced by the public.
Suggest consultation with a child psychologist and industrial design psychologist to make some thing more endearing.
Look at plush toys and teddy bears: having a head with a face and big eyes is a start.
This looks like animated sashimi.
Make it more like a Puppy...than slimy-slug, land octopus.
I definitely recommend this.
I'm not sure you get the point. I wouldn't want a "puppy" holding my liver during a surgery...

Chemistry of the origin of life explained?
These octopus-like robots are truly marvelous pieces of invention based on state-of-the-art science and technology, manifesting the rudiment of life. (btt1943)
Really great interview. Wondering if there is some rule somewhere that defines life as requiring water? To me, life is a synaptic impulse in an autonomous entity. No water required. Thus a mountain of dirt might be alive. Anyway; it seems that in the future one can have a soft concubine so as to give ones spouse a break and many marriages will be saved. Gymnastics and figure skating by robot will be flawless. Farming and Ranching will be sans human effort. Pottery will be mathematically perfect.
Thus to create by human effort will be an insult to the robot makers E.G. GE/Ford/Microsoft inc.; and may in fact be illegal.

Question from
Rebecca Hamlin
Maine Coon, age
7 years
About every 5 weeks, my cat Zoey, throws up for several days immediately after she eats. Then several weeks will pass before she throws up again. She doesn't seem to eat too quickly and there usually is no sign of a hairball in the vomit. I have tried various premium foods and the results are the same. She is overweight, according to my vet, and right now I am measuring her portions and serving her cat food for weight management. She is always hungry, whether or not she is in the throwing up stage. She is not losing any weight since I started the weight management food.
Also, do you have any suggestions on a product to remove vomit stains from the carpet. If I am close by, and hear her getting ready to throw up, I am right there and clean up the mess immediately, but there is always a reddish stain that just won't come up completely no matter how quickly I attend to it.
Our Vet Says:
Change in food can be the reason for her
throwing up. The change in food must be done step by step (food must be reduced

who wins $100 for the following question:
My Maddy is 6 years old and a HUGE girl -170 lbs. and the sweetest girl in my world! Trouble is... She is miserable with the itching. I been to the vet and tried changing her food to no beef, chicken, or pork. I also had her on allergy pills that cost $140 a month. I simply can't afford that plus the expensive dog food, plus continuous yard treatments, etc. can you recommend a flea pill that is affordable? She is also on prion for incontinence. Will it affect that medication too?
Thank ...?

Enviros to EPA: No More PCB Cleanup Delays
By Allison Dunne
Hudson Falls, NY – Environmentalists are urging EPA officials to steer clear of any further delays in cleaning up P-C-Bs from the Hudson River. An EPA spokesman says though the start date for the cleanup is not certain, an agreement with General Electric to pick up the tab for the cleanup is expected soon. WAMC's Allison Dunne has more.

I bought an SPS tactical 308 about 6 months ago, I haven't shot it much but no problems so far. I just have a cheap scope on it for now, saving for a Vortex viper 4-16x50.
I have the AAC SPS in a B&C Medalist adjustable stock. I'm running a trijicon 2.5-10x56 on mine. It's nice and shoots little groups.
I got a 700 aac in .308 last year.
I have enjoyed it just use it for target shooting
My hunting buddy got an SPS Tactical last year in .308 with a Burris scope and has had been very pleased. It's a shooter.
I got a BDL in 30-06 last year and I haven't been as pleased but my complaints are all cosmetic. The gun functions perfectly but I'm not happy with a couple of things. There is a large gouge in the stock were the material cut out of the wood in the bolt slot wasn't cut out evenly. And the metal for the magazine plate either wasn't polished very well or the finish in the metal was just bad before it was blued. It isn't very obvious but it is noticeable in the right light. I have no complaints other than those cosmetic issues.

So I am sold on doing starters...so far have done without stir plates....just the old swirl it around once in while.
I use Beersmith and it has a calculator for recommneded starter size and it indicates using a stir plate has a huge effect on required starter size.
For example....for a for a 96% viable smack pack...it says I need 2.5 litre without stir plate use and a 1 litre with stir plate.....
That is a factor of 250%
Has anyone ever counted their yeast cells to see if stir plate really makes that much difference?
Seriously though....what are your observations on this as far as how effective stir plates are and how accurate these "yeast cells required " calculators are?
EVERYONE is entitled to my opinion!
Primary #1: Fat Tire Clone
Primary #2: Oatmeal Stout
Primary #3: Empty
Upcoming Brews:
English Pale Ale
Biermuncher Centennail Blonde
I'm skeptical as well as to starter calculators accuracy. Both Mr. Malty and Yeast Calc are done using the same set of experiments as a reference, and I don't know of any experiments comparing stir plates to shaking.
I would imagine that there are a number of other factors such as temperature and yeast strain that affect growth.
Here's a blog post on calculator accuracy:http://woodlandbrew.blogspot.com/201...ing-cells.html
And a proposed experiment:http://woodlandbrew.blogspot.com/201...icroscope.html
If you want to know how many cells you have after the starter has completed, you can estimate it based on volume. It's also probably reasonable to assume that the viability in near 100%. If you are using DME to make your starter there is very little protein and you can assume 2 billion cells per ml. If it is from a mash it's more likely 1 billion cells per ml, but I have seen the vary from 250 million to 1.4 billion.
But if you really want to know, then like you said, you have to count them.
here's how I do it:http://woodlandbrew.blogspot.com/201...viability.html
Instead of doing a starter, I like to reduce the amount of wort added at the first pitch.http://woodlandbrew.blogspot.com/201...-starters.html
The 2nd edition is now available: Brewing Engineering Woodland Brewing Research Blog Applied Science for Better Beer.
In my experience with using my stir plate it is a very effective tool for a lot of health yeast in a short period of time. I always use a yeast calculator to get a ball park figure for yeast count and pitch rate. I've had very good luck using a stir plate for my starters. IMO its a must if u slant yeast or have a frozen yeast bank.
Alcohol may be man's worst enemy, but the bible says love your enemy. - Frank Sinatra
The stir plates function is to keep the yeast in suspension. Yeast that settles out is not doing good work and the deeper in the pile, the less. This is why sparkling wine makers "riddle" their bottles and still winemakers "battonage" (stir up the lees). A yeast cake isn't getting much done, the more yeast in suspension, the better.

Grand Ferry Park
Grand Ferry Park was named for the 19th-century Grand Street Ferry, which once carried farm goods and passengers across the East River to Manhattan. The Ferry ran until 1918, and the landing remained abandoned until the 70s when an unofficial park was created using recycled materials. Due to a lack of funding, the land was turned over to the Parks Council and officially became a park in 1998. Grand Ferry Park was refurbished to preserve the landing's historylike the brick smokestack from the Pfizer molasses plant. The park is one of the few stretches of Williamsburg shoreline accessible to the public. At the water's edge, a border of boulders protects the shoreline from erosion and provides seating to enjoy great views of downtown Manhattan and four East River bridges.

Basil leaves have brown lesions then wither and die
I am growing basil in an indoor NFT system. I recently treated the plants using a product called Biota Max which is a pro-biotic containing various strains of Trichoderma and Bacillus. This is my first time using this product.
A couple weeks after treatment, my basil plants started exhibiting brown lesions on the leaves. The lesions would start at the top of the plant and work their way to lower leaves. I would remove the leaves but the lesions would appear on other leaves in the following days. This has begun to be an epidemic in my NFT system that is ultimately resulting in plant death.
Pictures of the lesions are posted in the following links. What could be causing the lesions?
maybe cause they are all growing sideways .. man those pix hurt...
are you absolutely positive you diluted the product you sprayed on properly ...
if you had no problem until you sprayed.. does that mean anything???
looks like chemical burn to me ... and as soon as you remove one.. the one below.. coming into more light.. then burns ....
one thing that comes to mind.. when trying a new product.. experiment on 'some' rather than 'all' ...
Sorry Ken, the pictures are right side up on my computer I don't know why some turned sideways when uploaded.
Biota Max is not a chemical, its contains strains of Trichoderma (a fungus) and Bacillus (a bacteria). The microbes colonize on roots so I sprayed the solution on the roots.
I do spray a neem oil solution on leaves, but I have been doing this for a long time w/o this leaf problem arising. I will stop the neem oil spray and see if the problem persists. Thanks.
Brian, I would certainly contact your local extension office to see about sending plant samples to your research university's plant pathology lab. They (office staff) should be able to tell you how to collect and pack the samples so that they get to the lab in the best possible condition for evaluation.
I am pretty much totally ignorant of NFT or other hydroponic systems of plant culture. What benefit does Biota Max provide outside of a soil based medium?
Rhizo, thank you very much for you suggestion--that is a really good idea. I'm going to look into that now.
Since hydroponics doesn't use soil, such systems lack the naturally occurring beneficial microbes that inhabit the soil. Normally, pythium microbes could be eaten by trichoderma microbes living in the soil.
In a hydroponics system, the trichoderma colonies will not naturally be there, so pythium may arrive through airborne spores and colonize plant roots with impunity. It's just like bringing in an invasive species in which natural predators are not there to control the population. The microbes in Biota Max would inhabit the root structure of the plant, defending it from harmful microbes.
I'm not sure I'd call those "lesions", but that's just me. I wonder though why gimmicks would be needed to grow basil. How about starting with good-quality seeds, use healthy soil, and then water them and give them light? Adding things that aren't part of the normal equation usually leads to problems.
Maybe a less science-lab stuff would help. Good luck.
Yikes, I sure do disagree, JimR! Forms of hydroponics have been around and known to be successful for generations. Some people would argue that taking the soil OUT of the equation makes it easier, MUCH easier. It simply requires veering off the beaten path a bit and learning some new principles. After all, plants have very few requirements....water, light, air, dissolved nutrients. They can get all of those things without the benefit of soil in any form.
I've not experimented with hydroculture, hydroponics, or aeroponics myself, though I daresay that my years of growing in a completely soilless medium (Turface, granite grit, bark fines) might qualify. But I know many that have, including successful commercial growers of leaf crops, tomatoes, and cucumbers.
I've spoken with hydroponic growers of cut flowers for the florist trade, which is becoming more and more popular. I visited Epcot about 30 years ago and remember being really amazed at their underground aeroponics system. For some reason, the huge squash plants stand out in my memory, suspended in the air with roots hanging below...covered with ripe yellow crooknecks!
So, not a gimmick at all but tried and true agricultural methods that have been around for many, many years. It's only natural that the methods have been down-sized for use in basements and small greenhouses.

Flensted Mobiles Niels Bohr Atom Model Mobile
About the Designer
Ole Flensted
Mobiles are a traditional craft in Denmark, but the modern mobile was created by Christian Flensted and his wife, Grethe. Their first design, the Stork mobile, met great success and now flies all over the world! Today, their son Ole Flensted and his wife Aase continue the tradition, with ideas for new and original mobiles issuing regularly from their "Department of Space Research". The first mobile designed by Ole Flensted in 1970 and in 1972 Ole Flensted designed one of the most beloved Flensted Mobiles: the "Elephant Party". Though still popular and one of their bestsellers, they are proud to present this 2009 version, which has been designed by using only circles and sections of circles.
About the ManufacturerIn 1954 Christian and Grethe Flensted created their first mobile, the Danish Luck Storks (FM-1 still in production today, over fifty years later), to celebrate the baptism of their daughter Mette. In 1956 Christian Flensted gave up his job to devote all his effort to the fledgling mobiles business, then based in Aalborg, Jutland. By 1971, production had grown so much that new premises were needed and the business moved back to the home island of Funen and founded "The Stork's Nest" in Tommerup and stayed here for about 20 years and then moved to the old school building "Frederiksminde" near Brenderup, Funen, which is still the FLENSTED MOBILE CENTRE. Originally Flensted mobiles were sold in bookshops and craft centres. Today, they are sold predominantly through museum and gallery gift outlets, contemporary furniture and design stores and children's shops, and enjoy an international success. In Denmark, the mobiles are sold in Illums Bolighus Airport, Tivoli and many museums (e.g. all the larger mobiles can be seen at Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen. The company is part owner of ARTIUM, a Scandinavian Design shop located in central Copenhagen. Over the years Flensted mobiles have been shown in many prominent exhibitions across Europe: at Charlottenborg, Copenhagen; at the United Nations in Geneva; and at the Bern Ornaris Selection, a retrospective expo at the Filosofgangen in Odense. They were for sale during the Calder exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts in London and the Picasso/Braque/Miro/Kandinsky/ Calder exhibition at the Meisterwerke aus dem Guggenheim Musen in the Kunsthalle of Hamburg. Over the years the mobiles have featured in films, TV commercials and magazine advertisements. The most high-profile example was "Who is afraid of Virginia Wolf", in which the mobile FM-5R Flowing Rhythm was shown in the bedroom of Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor. We have seen three of our mobiles on auction on one of Denmark's leading internet auctions. The strange thing was that all three were still in production but the price of a second-hand mobile was almost four times higher than a new one! Ole, the founders son, and his wife Aase, officially took over the company in 1982. Christian Flensted passed away in December 1994, but his wife Grethe still lives in Odense. All Flensted mobiles are hand-made in Denmark, and offer high quality at a moderate price. Elements are assembled and packed by about 50 skilled home-workers and their families. Many of the original Flensted mobiles are still in production, but the contemporary designs are now the bestsellers. Ole Flensted is the chief designer, but for introducing new ideas often works in conjunction with artists. Ole is currently engaged in a series of large-scale mobiles. This project allows the design and supply of mobiles for special purposes: for use as one-off pieces for large spaces, or in large quantities for use as corporate gifts or as Christmas and New Year greetings. Many of our standard mobiles are well-suited as commercial presents and act as constant "visiting cards" for the sender.

Watch & Listen
"They've come from a distant plane to make us dance like we're insane."
-Raw Paw
"Unconventional in all the right ways, Become Who You Are shows Holiday Mountain are ready for the big time and marks them as a band to watch."
-Performer Magazine
Holiday Mountain is a three-piece psych-dub-pop workout operating out of Austin, TX. Formed in Boston in 2010 as a compliment to the songs of Laura Patiño, Holiday Mountain has been through several incarnations before settling into it's current trio configuration. Since moving to Austin in 2012 they are hard at work making a home for themselves in the city's diverse musical community while building upon their tradition of fan interaction and their reputation as a formidable dance act.
In early 2012 they released their debut LP Become Who You Are with guitarist Mike Simonelli. The ten track album showcases the band's musical range and creative ambitions through it's monstrous dub grooves, psychedelic space journeying, pounding surf-reggae, electro western disco, 1960s island grooves, tight jungle breaks, flourishes of electronics and hip hop backbeats.
Most recently Holiday Mountain performed before a packed crowd of more than 1500 fans and spectators for their headlining show at Boston's Institute of Contemporary Art. Other highlights include a rave review of their album in Performer Magazine, a spot as the weekly feature on Foundwaves.com, and press coverage from both The Boston Globe and CBS Boston.
Now hard at work on fresh material for their next album, Holiday Mountain promises new excursions into the land of electro-pop, chugging organ blues, psychedelic latin grooves, hyper-obese dub reggae, hip hop breaks, and a deeper look into their already established sound.
Formed in 2011 in Austin, Texas, The Gents are a four piece Indie Americana band with tight vocal harmonies and a clean mix of charm, rock and high energy vibrations. The release of their self-titled EP The Gents in 2013, was met with an invitation to Texas Music Fest Red, White and Blue Ball both in 2013 & 2014. The band pulls inspiration artists such as Paul Westerberg, The Band, Larry and His Flask and Old Crow Medicine Show. The Gents feature three part male vocal harmonies, electric and acoustic guitar, electric bass and a classic drum kit. With a mix of folk-rock, indie-rock and americana soul, The Gents have a unique sound and growing fan base at their live performances and online.
