Mantis/Gone To Wither

Redgrave is ANGIE MEAD (guitar, vocals) and STEPHEN HOWARD (drums), a swamp blues, heavy rock duo that is already being touted in the Chicago media as the next band on the horizon to watch. One year ago the band never existed and the two players, Angie Mead and Stephen Howard, were mere acquaintances. Today, they are poised to release their first EP and have earned unexpected admirers from top tastemakers like Jesus Lizard frontman DAVID YOW (who did the art for the record) and Califone's TIM RUTILI (who guests on guitar). Necessity made this happen. Mead is a behind-the-scenes veteran of Chicago's music scene as a musician, talent buyer and publicist. Those roles allowed her fandom of PINEBENDER, Howard's flagship band, to flourish. She gave away Pinebender albums to friends to spread the word about the now-famed indie trio. She heard in Howard's baritone guitar and distinct drumming style the kind of gnarled beauty that gave her songs clarity.
