Shoulder Voices, an Albuquerque band that features Little Bobby Tucker (formerly of legendary Burque rock outfit Unit 7 Drain) and guitarist Clifford Grindstaff (who used to thrill audiences as a stalwart member of Grave of Nobody's Darling) have their album release party at Launchpad on Friday, Aug. 12. Purveyors of a slick and sexy variant of glam-influenced psych-rock that is equal parts Pink Floyd, Bowie and Stax brand R&B, Shoulder Voices have been on an ascendant path here in town for a number of years; this new recording, called The Stuffed Animal Band should cement their position as venerable rockers in this town. Leeches of Lore, SuperGiant, The Porter Draw and Saint Petersburg provide support. This 21+ show costs $5 and a free copy of the new recording comes with admission. (August March)
