| Eric Sales You could call him the ace in the hole of the 1990s Athens rock scene. After working throughout the 1980s playing bass and singing in the Athens punk trio The Primates, Eric Sales spent the 1990s lending songs, vocals and bass to Jack Logan and Liquor Cabinet (seven years) and Dave Barbe's post-Sugar band Buzz Hungry (five years). Even while pulling double duty with those bands, he also worked in more than a dozen projects, ranging from country acts like Redneck Greece Delux to one scary night playing bass behind punk lunatic GG Allin. But by 1997, Sales had moved on to work and family. Still, he never stopped writing, and after a long absence from the stage, Sales has recently begun recording and performing his own tunes live. His new songs meld elements of everything from the Southern gospel music he grew up with to the punk and pop that characterized his work in the '80s and '90s. -C. ReeceQuotes "When I first moved to Athens, it seemed like every time I saw a new band I loved, Eric Sales was playing in it - Buzz Hungry, Big Top, Redneck GReece Delux and especially the almighty Liquor Cabinet played some of the best songs and shows of the 90's. Then Eric disappeared from the scene seemingly without a trace. It's great to hear him singing and playing again. He's a true Ace and his reentry to the scene is great news indeed." -Patterson Hood Drive-By Truckers"Eric Sales is one of the finest musicians I have ever worked with. His melodic sense is coupled with both smarts and spunk." -Peter Jesperson New West Records'...but the most pleasant surprise comes from new bassist/guitarist Eric Sales, who checks in with the stellar Who-styled "Black Hole Soul." ' -Ira Robbins Trouser Press"... (with) tightly focused ballads like "Bleed," guitarist Dave Philips, pianist and guitarist Kelly Keneipp, and the band's rhythm section of Eric Sales and Aaron Phillips find musical corollaries for each of Logan's moods, contributing raw power or aching single-note guitar wails as necessary, translating the writerly stuff into terse, gut-level three-minute masterpieces." -Tom Moon Rolling StoneArticles Article 1Article 2Article 3Credits "Another Blow To The Head" recorded at Backburner Sounds in March 2007. Engineered by Kelly Keneipp. |
