The High Country Low Lifes

These two na-er-do-wells from a lost valley in the Siskiyou mountains of… wait. Na-er-do-well haint really right. I mean, they na-er-really do bad nuther. I guess they’re just na’er dos.

Anyway, that’s all beside the matter. What’s the fore of the matter is that they make a kind of uncouth, lo-fi version of music called “Siskiyou Stomp.” They make that music with instruments like their voice, and some strings.

There’s a dog what runs the show by the name Walt. The other two go by Stompin’ Jim Hambone and Smilin’ Jim McGee.

They’re rough round the edges, and rough round the middle, and rough round the edges of the middle. And they drink. LOTS.

Masters of Poh

Masters of Poh is the duo of Vaara Ylhäälta and Mauno Salmi, who both studied for years under the legendary Finnish avant-garde composer Seppo Perälä.  However, after Perälä insisted on months of re-takes of the recording of his re-interpretation of Wagner’s Ring Cycle (to be performed by Ylhäälta and Salmi on toy instruments), the two finally broke from their former mentor, and are now exploring fertile fields of proggy weirdness.   They are sometimes joined by co-traveller Ismo Koivu.
