Tony Scherr has a new record on Smells Like Records, which is Steve Shelly’s (Sonic Youth) label.Since coming to New York in the 80s,
Tony Scherr has become one of the city's most prolific and in-demand sidemen, playing itegral roles in the music of such notable artists as Bill Frisell, John Lurie (Lounge Lizards), Steve Bernstein (Sex Mob), and Norah Jones, as well as some of New York's better-kept secrets, such as Jesse Harris and the Ferdinandos, The Wollesens, Ursa Minor, and Slowpoke. Tony has recorded most of these latter artists at his Brooklyn home studio, helping to foster and document a tight-knit, intimate scene of players who are as skilled and daring as they are broadminded and modest. His debut album, "Come Around" is on Sonic Youth's Steve Shelley's Smells Like Records, and is getting rave reviews.
"Tony Scherr plays bass in Sex Mob, a jazz band. But his solo CD...is more like country than bebop. His guitar playing and laid-back singing are haunting, and his songwriting stads out." - Playboy
Drummer and producer Anton Fier was best known as the leader -- and sole constant member -- of the all-star downtown New York City band the Golden Palominos. Born June 20, 1956 in Cleveland, Ohio, Fier first made his mark as the drummer on the Feelies' seminal 1980 debut Crazy Rhythms. After leaving the group, he joined the punk-jazz unit the Lounge Lizards before returning home to Cleveland, where he was recruited by the legendary new wave band Pere Ubu for the album Song of the Bailing Man. After exiting Ubu, Fier again relocated to New York, where he founded the first Golden Palominos lineup in 1981, issuing the group's self-titled debut LP two years later. While the project remained Fier's primary focus in the years to follow, he also drummed on a wide range of albums from artists including Herbie Hancock, John Zorn, Yoko Ono, Bob Mould and Laurie Anderson; additionally, he produced sessions for performers like Drivin' N' Cryin', the Grapes of Wrath and Joe Henry. In 1994, Fier issued his proper solo debut, Dreamspeed
