Radio Moscow Announce New Bassist
The addition of bassist Anthony Meier to Radio Moscow means that even since I saw them just about a year ago, the three-piece headed up by guitarist/vocalist Parker Griggs has completely replaced its rhythm section, rounded out by drummer Paul Marrone. So it goes, I guess. Now-former bassist Billy Ellsworth has another band going called Red Octopus and Meier comes from San Diego’s Sacri Monti, so in addition to the news, there’s two bands to check out in the update from the band below. Radio Moscow‘s latest release is the 2013 Rancho Tehama AirportEP.
Seems to me the lesson here is it’s time to see Radio Moscow again. There’s no hint of East Coast dates below, though the band drops word of a forthcoming return trip to Europe, so I guess that’s something. While we’re indulging wishful thinking based on absolutely nothing — a new album maybe?
Here’s the announcement:
We would like to give a warm welcome to new bassist Anthony Meier! We saw him jamming with San Diego psych rockers SACRI MONTI and knew he would make a perfect match for the Radio Moscow sound. We are super excited to show you the new songs and the slightly changed line up on our upcoming Europe tour!
We would also like to give a BIG thanks and a sad farewell to previous bassist Billy Ellsworth. Sadly it didn´t work out with Billy but we all remain good friends and wish Billy the best. You can still hear Billy´s bass skills in psych jammers Red Octopus (touring CA this summer with our buds JOY) !
and for us we will keep jamming on new tunes and getting ready for another journey to europe. See you all very soon!
-Parker, Paul and Anthony
GOOD JOB – THE DUKE
