The Jade Shader "Curse of the Tuatara" (Sonic Boom)
By Tim Den
Friday. Nov 11, 1:12 AM
San Diego's tradition of catchy dissonance continues.

(read an interview with guitarist/keyboardist/vocalist Chris Prescott here)

Featuring members and ex-members of No Knife, Boilermaker, and Pinback – amongst others – The Jade Shader is the logical continuation of the sounds San Diego has been stewing under its vibrant sun for the past 20+ years. It is jazzy dissonance, catchy uncatchy melodies, gymnastic rhythms, and jagged sweetness that you’ll learn to love after repeated explorations. With ambitions to not only bring together the members’ love of rock but of music “stretching back across the ages,” Curse of the Tuatara hopes to embody as much of Slint’s sinewy attack as it does 20th century minimalism. The result? Another success story for good ol’ S.D. Take a listen… really listen, and be rewarded by its subterranean layers.
