+Bull Thieves- Formed in Brooklyn in 2009 by three Texas ex-pats (Lance Scott Walker, Birdlikebats, and Nicholas Phelps), Bull Thieves played shows around NYC and released one self-titled album before going underground in 2011. As Walker pivoted to work on his books about Houston hip-hop (Houston Rap Tapes, DJ Screw: A Life In Slow Revolution) and the other band members relocated, they continued to collaborate on new material from afar. In 2024, Walker fully rebooted the band — this time with his best friend, the artist Joan LeMay (Quantum Criminals: Ramblers, Wild Gamblers, and Other Sole Survivors From the Songs of Steely Dan) playing bass and sharing vocal/writing duties. As the core duo of a larger collective that includes the original Bull Thieves as well as Houston producers Stenographer and JGtheengineer, Walker and LeMay play a noisy grade of indie rock that descends from the Texas punk they grew up on, with threads of shoegaze and the rap and jazz/funk/R&B back catalogues that have informed their work as writer and artist. Bull Thieves released the 7-inch "Pasture Kills" b/w "Wild Own" in May 2025, and an album is coming this summer.
+Gladys- Subversive songs about seltzer. With a hint of psychedelia. Exceptional trousers courtesy of the bass player.
Is it country…?
But what country?
Is it western?
Or is it a cistern?
It holds all your tears of joy, fear and whiskey.
Misery and gin maybe too.
The sounds might be a bit dusty (as the kids say) but the heart is full of love and lust (in the dust!)
