Jerry Adler - Vocal and Guitar

History

After completing the final mastering for The Blam - 3, Jerry Adler packed his bags and guitar and went to Europe the following day. Upon arriving, he and his girlfriend (artist Andrea Frank) rented a car and drove in a very large circle. Over the next sixty days they would see Munich, Berlin, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Antwerp, Paris, the south of France, Barcelona, Genoa, Florence, Venice, a small cabin in the big Austrian alps, and many towns, rivers, beaches, and woodlands in between. Jerry returned home with most of what he had left with and 25 brand new songs, 10 of which are featured here on flugente, his debut solo release.
These songs are unlike anything even hinted at in The Blam and, frankly, unlike anything out today. Performed and recorded exactly as they were written - one voice and one guitar - the ten tracks on this record explode with the kind of originality, freshness, and raw immediacy rarely heard.

History
The Blam released their first two records within a mere eighteen months of one another. That short burst included two Top Forty appearances on the CMJ colllege radio charts, touring in the United States and England, and widespread critical acclaim. Now they’re back with their third full length CD, The Blam - 3. It’s a significant departure from its predecessors, but a logical step forward for a band that won’t stand still. Ever defying categorization, The Blam deliver a junior release that makes a major statement.

Press

“The Beatles, Here Come The Warm Jets era Eno, vintage Bowie, even The Velvets are clear reference points, but The Blam never only reproduce the classics... They are legit.” -- Resonance Magazine

“They are a unit producing frightening beauty... Returning to us rather quickly on the heels of the first, self-titled, release, The Blam have given us their second stellar record.” -- indieworkshop.com
