Formed by members of Hella,†The†Flying Luttenbachers and LeButcherettes, Chicago No-Wave supergroup My Name Is Rar-Rar emerged in late 2000. Luttenbachers' guitarist Chuck Falzone and bassist Jonathan†Hischke†delivered†dissonance and speed to the band...†Falzone's odd guitar timbre snaked between Hischke's ridiculous†synth-bass lines and collided with the playful tribal thump of Chrissy†Rossettie.†Greg Peters (formerly of Xerobot)†whoops, coughs and delusional ramblings†transformed the band into a speeding†circus caravan - one that misses a turn and tumbles over the†cliff, time and time again. †They recorded an album in 2003 but†broke up before mixing it.
Years later, Nick Sakes, founder of influential post-hardcore nightmare merchants Dazzling†Killmen, and Rossettie hatched†Xaddax - a kinetic, No Wave-y two piece that clashes†Sakes' jagged guitars and signature vocals across Rossettie's†worldwide web of haywire electronics,†meandering synth, and frenzied drumming. Their first album, "Counterclockwork,"†was†released on SKiN GRAFT Records in 2012.
The Xaddax / My Name Is Rar-Rar split 7" EP brings two new Xaddax songs together†with a pair of newly mixed and†mastered tracks from Rar-Rar's final recording session.†The CD edition comes in a choice of two different covers and†includes the†previously unreleased†My Name Is Rar-Rar full length album.
