If you're interested to set up an interview or whatnot, please do let us know ASAP - we would love to do it.

William Carlos Williams-White Women

Atlanta's William Carlos Williams is a group whose musical output defies easy categorization. Avant-garde only hints at the influences of the band - which include rock, freeform jazz, and fusion. Like the modernist American poet from whom the band took its name, William Carlos Williams is prolific, original and creative. And, after two short releases on the Brave Scout label, William Carlos Williams presents their debut full-length release, White Women, on Atlanta's new ShoeString Records.

Formed by musicians whose backgrounds range from jazz to death metal, William Carlos Williams meld their diverse styles into a whole sound which is greater than the sum of its parts. The band was founded in 1995 by saxophonist Rob Mallard (ex-60 cycle Hum and The Golden Sparkle band), bassist Andrew Burnes (ex-bassist for The Gold Sparkle Band and Barel), guitarists Rob Perham (ex-Bunnieslope) and Wes Daniel (ex-Steamboat), and drummer Stewart Voegtlin (who previously played in several death metal bands). William Carlos Williams made Mallard's Studio 204 their regular practice space, and it is there, in the heart of Atlanta s Cabbagetown neighborhood, that the band found its musical direction.

The name of the band's debut album, White Women, is a shout out to what Mallard calls, "a group of people who mean an inexplicable amount to us and our music." Mallard also adds: "Our's is not an album meant to make you feel happy, just feel good - catharsis for us, catharsis for you. Music exists primarily through its powers as a healing force. It has the ability to take people to a place where they may see inside themselves, be at peace and chuckle in spite of it. Albums are also something cool for the child in us to bring to show and tell. Listen to the track "The Shame of Man" and see if you can avoid feeling the depth of the sorrow expressed in this simple song. Or take the energetic rabble in "Stuck In Traffic" as we address the pitiful tragedy that life can be as epitomized by rush hour after rush hour and the fact that some relish that time as their time alone."

White Women was recorded by Mallard on an 8 track analog tape in his Studio 204. It features twelve diverse tracks, some mixed by Mallard at Studio 204, and some by Shachar Oren at Casino Studio. For the making of these recordings, the band was joined by their friends Eugene Chadbourne, Coleman Lewis (of Smoke), Danette Haser (of Pineal Ventana),Scott Herren (of Delarosa and Seely), Michael Murphy, Casey Reeves, Manuel Domingo, Molly Baroco, Jason Wagoner, Rodney Mills, Michael Weil and Michael Lindsey.

The band regularly tours the Southeast and the East coast (including packing the house at The Knitting Factory in NYC), and will be touring in support of the White Women, their debut release.
