Bob Urh & the Bare Bones

So this is the grand experiment that followed the death of Ultra 5 & Zero Child. Some great friends (a.k.a. the ghastly 6) got together to record a bunch of songs that do not exactly utilize the standard 5 piece band lineup, sonic structure or instrumentation. From this came a band called BOB URH & THE BARE BONES.

"Another name that springs to mind is Howe Gelb. Had he spent his childhood in a basement instead of a barn he'd probably sound just like Bob Urh. Or if Lux Interior had spent his formative years in the streets instead of home watching cartoons The Cramps might sound just like The Bare Bones (...) Somebody should send a copy of this to Jon Spencer. And Jack White too (...)" EMDS magazine

"If the ghosts of Brian Jones and John Lee Hooker got together in their little corner of hell with a fifth of mash whiskey this is what it would sound like. Everything that exile on main street should have been. Raw, Shambolic juju-blues that rates with Sioux city pete in the psychodrama department." Jeff Dahl, CARBON 14 magazine [U.S.A]

"This band plays stripped down, raw and crude blues punk (for a lack of a better term) with a garage vibe that calls both mid sixties electric blues and more post psych stuff ..." THE TROUBLE WITH NORMA magazine [U.S.A]
