Tres Mountains (King’s X’s dUg Pinnick & Pearl Jam’s Jeff Ament)
A new “super group” of dUg Pinnick from King’s X, Richard Stuverud of the Fastbacks, and Jeff Ament of Pearl Jam has a name and an album coming out and a selective tour in March 2011.
Tres Mountains (aka Tres Mts.)
Go to http://tresmts.com/, sign up for their newsletter, and get a free download of “My Baby.” The debut album Three Mountains comes out in March 15th, 2011 (CD, LP, digital). Update 2/3: I just got my ticket for the Seattle show at the Shoebox (3/16). Apparently Mike McCready (also from Pearl Jam) is playing with them. Woot!
Update 3/8: get the record digitally here:
I’m hoping good things from this group. I tend to really dig bands and side-projects where dUg gets involved. The first track “My Baby” needs a bit warming up for me, but I dig the vibe.
Friend them on the Facebox:

Introduction to Elliott Smith
Next week (Nov 2nd), a new Introduction to Elliott Smith release comes out. There aren’t any new songs, but it’s being put out digitally, on CD, and on vinyl, too. That, in and of itself, means I need to get it… as I have all of his albums on vinyl… can’t stop… :)
More importantly, if you don’t know any Elliott Smith, this would be the album to get. You will soon fall in love.
