Dali`s Llama Breaks Into The Movie Business

Shoot The Hero, directed by Christian Sesma and starring Jason Mewes (Clerks/Zack and Miri Make a Porno), Danny Trejo (Con Air/Heat), and Nick Turturro (Mo Better Blues/The Longest Yard) will feature three DALI’S LLAMA songs from their latest CD, Full On Dunes.

The movie is about a 30-something couple (Jason Mewes and Samatha Lockwood) who unintentionally become involved in a botched jewel heist while shopping for wedding rings. The plot thickens when the crooked casino owner (Danny Trejo) who engineered the heist hires two unassuming hit men to clean up the mess, and the soon-to-be husband and wife find themselves discovering new things about themselves and their relationship.


The movie features the DALI’S LLAMA songs “Floating,” “On Dunes,” and “Cheap and Portable.”

Album Of The Day- Dali's Llama-"Sweet Sludge" (2007)

The Album Of The Day is "Sweet Sludge" by Dali's Llama.



Review:

From the desert with love comes the melodic fuzz rock by Dali's Llama, a trio which boasts the production of Scott Reeder (Kyuss, The Obssessed). Deliberate beats that emit a near-tribal feel intertwine with demonic riffs that dually conjure up punk rock fury and stoner rock freedom while the vocals channel Layne Stayley on a mushroom high all over this swampy 10-track affair, enough to leave you sticky with delight for weeks on end thanks to cuts like "Creosote" and "Earth Mother Spin". Adorned with a psychedelic twist that helps envelope the listener, the overall wicked atmosphere this simple on the surface release throws out produce the kind of sturdy riffs suitable for smokeouts ("Micro Giant", "Age of Myth") as well as a whole lotta underground rock whose haunting melodies and gritty delivery stand out as prime reasons to pick this disc up and give it a spin on a long lonesome drive.

Dali`s Llama News

Dali`s Llama just released their new CD, Full On Dunes, produced by Scott Reeder. Heavier, thicker and faster songs than on their last CD, Sweet Sludge, Full On Dunes provides nine new energetic songs that blend their desert punk and heavy rock roots. Zach Huskey (guitar, vocals) and Erica Huskey (bass) are joined by new drummer Jeff Howe, who provides a solid driving rhythm.

The CD features special guest appearances by some old friends. Mario Lalli (from Fatso Jetson, Desert Sessions, Yawning Man) laid down some amazing guitar on "Can`t Catch Me,""Cheap and Portable," and "Smoke Tree," and he did a cool spoken word piece on "Desert Dogs." Capt. Sean Wheeler (from Throw Rag, Charley Horse, Sun Trash) belted out some incredible backing vocals on "King Platypus," "Cheap and Portable," and "Aqua-Fuzz." Joe Dillon (from Hot Beat Pussy Fiend) did a little bit of everything - from Stooges style guitar, outstanding backing vocals and some very cool lap steel on six different songs. Last, but not least, Scott Reeder (producer and the bass master for Kyuss, The Obsessed, Goatsnake) laid down some blazingly awesome bass solos on two songs - "Can`t Catch Me" and "Floating."


"Can`t Catch Me" is featured on the new StonerRock.comp Volume 8 and is available as a free download.
