:: new release ::

Hey all, the Gary Young's Hospital album is here (officially to be
released in stores May 4th)! Yes, that's the same legendary
drummer/producer for all of Pavement's early stuff and the
amazing "Slanted And Enchanted" album. Yes, that's the same
guy who put out a solo record on Big Cat in the 90's that landed
him a video on MTV for the song "Plantman" featuring Thurston
Moore dressed as a tree, and Gary in an astro-turf suit. Gary
recently reappeared at the 2004 SF Noise Pop festival (2
shows), will be playing SF's Mission Creek Festival, the Central
Valley Indie Festival and will be touring throughout 2004 (dates
coming together now, keep checking the Omnibus website for
updates). Gary and his Hospital recently recorded a cover of
Sonic Youth's 100% with ELECTRO GROUP backing them up,
and is working out additional recordings backed by
GRANDADDY, THURSTON MOORE and others, but we'll get into
that later...

GARY YOUNG'S HOSPITAL "The Grey Album" CD (omni042)
The irony of Gary Young's career, which historians of Pavement's
early years never fail to mention, was that Gary was a "Yes fan in
an indie band." Truth be told, Gary never did have much
exposure to indie rock prior to joining Pavement--it was uniquely
different--Gary had a bona fide crash course in indie rock.
"Slanted and Enchanted" defined a style for a decade and it
wasn't until Gary left Pavement that he truly realized what he
helped create. But the irony doesn't end there. In 1994, Gary
released his first solo album. It was titled "Gary Young's
Hospital." One might have expected it to be a return to his prog
rock heritage.   But no. Hospital was without a doubt indie rock.
Perhaps the sound had seeped in through his pours. Perhaps
Gary was an indie rocker all along. Who knows? In December
2000, Gary and Terry Blank (guitars/keyboards/samples) began
construction on Hospital's long awaited follow up record. In
December 2003, Hospital will realize it's second album on
Omnibus Records – "The Grey Album." Hospital will be touring
throughout 2004. Gary tours with Terry Blank, and a revamped
band including Duby Geurra (Bass), and J. McCrory (Keyboards).
