Alicja-Pop is the vehicle for the work of Alicja Trout (great name). In 2021, she released full length "Howlin'" on Black & Wyatt Records.
"I'm Here I'm There / Not Gonna Be Dumb" is a AA side 7" released by Cincinnati based Feel It Records. The songs remind me of what The Happy Somethings might sound like if they turned up their instruments. It also recalls the work of Kaz Mirblouk and Mikal Cronin.
Alicja-Pop is based in Memphis, Tennessee. Trout has been part of other bands - Sweet Knives, Lost Sounds and River City Tanlines.

The Ledge #548: Annual Rock and Roll Christmas Party!
The annual Ledge holiday special is probably the easiest show of the year to put together...but not for the reasons you probably assume. Yes, it would be a breeze to just cull tracks from the same favorite Christmas albums year after year. Nobody would even notice if I ever repeated a song or two.
But I'm thrilled that year after year there is a plethora of new holiday tunes to check out. More and more artists put out Christmas albums. More and more labels put out new compilations. And, most importantly, more and more artists are using their bandcamp pages to put out surprise individual tracks that are quite often free!
So this year's show is, with a handful of exceptions, brand new tunes! If you enjoy great punk, indie, Americana, and power pop there should be something here for you. There's also no silly novelty songs (well, maybe one). There's no maudlin weepers. Musically, each and every song would fit at home on a "normal" episode of The Ledge. So crank this at your family gathering!
I would love it if every listener bought at least one record I played on either of these shows. These great artists deserve to be compensated for their hard work, and every purchase surely helps not only pay their bills but fund their next set of wonderful songs. And if you buy these records directly from the artist or label, please let them know you heard these tunes on The Ledge! Let them know who is giving them promotion! You can find this show at almost any podcast site, including iTunes and Stitcher...or

Album of the Week: SWEET KNIVES – ‘Spritzerita
Alicja Trout has always stayed busy. The multi-talented rocker has played in numerous bands (Rivercity Tanlines and Mouserocket to name a couple) since the demise of Lost Sounds, the band she formed with the late-great Jay Reatard. She also ran her own label, Contaminated Records for a number of years and last year put out a solo album called ‘Howling‘ as Alicja-Pop with Memphis label – Black &…

Every Record I Own - Day 719: Led Zeppelin III
Back in 2006, my old band These Arms Are Snakes did a tour with a Memphis garage rock band called River City Tanlines. The band was headed by Alicja Trout of Lost Sounds fame with a rhythm section borrowed from RL Burnside’s band. Great band, great people. And as was common in those days, we saved money by crashing at peoples’ houses after the shows, often sweet-talking our hosts into letting our tour mates stay with us as well. On one of those nights, sitting in someone’s living room and sipping post-show beers, the conversation steered towards Led Zeppelin. The reaction from T-Money and Bubba (RL’s dudes) was visceral. 
“Fuck Zeppelin,” they said. “It’s all about the Stones.”
Now, at age 44 I’m not gonna argue that one. I listen to the run of Stones records from ‘67 to ‘72 way more than I listen to Zeppelin these days, but back in my twenties, Zeppelin were gods. Charlie Watts didn’t hit as hard as Bonham. Bill Wyman never wrote bass lines as sick as John Paul Jones’s runs in “Custard Pie.” And Keith vs. Jimmy? C’mon... Keith didn’t even use the lowest string on his guitar.
The Tanlines’ rebuttal? The Stones paid homage to their blues heroes and made sure they were credited and paid. Meanwhile, Zeppelin stole riffs from old blues players and only acknowledged the theft when called out and/or taken to court. It was hard to argue against that one. And while I still love Zeppelin, it certainly narrowed the gap in my appreciation between them and the Stones.
There are multiple accusations against Zeppelin for plagiarism, and most of them seem pretty valid. But as a whole, I don’t see Zeppelin as being frauds, because even if there are stolen riffs here and there, Zeppelin’s overall sound is entirely their own. One can definitely here the familiar echoes of American blues on III, but it’s delivered with a transformative degree of heft and muscle. The album is also notable for it’s English folk influences, but with auxiliary instrumentation that fills out the space in ways their forefathers could never have anticipated. And then you have “Immigrant Song,” which in many ways feels like the genesis of heavy metal.
Led Zeppelin never sounded like a band that existed in a vacuum. Their influences were obvious. But they took those bits and pieces and made something new and extraordinary with them.

Jay Reatard(Jimmy Lee Lindsey) родился 1 мая 1980 года. В 15 лет, под впечатлением от выступления Oblivians, Jay Reatard записал первое демо. Eric Friedl,глава Goner Records, после прослушивания демо, подписал его на свой лейбл. Свой про��кт Lindsey назвал Reatards. Первый релиз Reatards на Goner Records - 7'' EP Get Real Stupid. Единственным участником был Jay Reatard, где он поочередно пел,играл на гитаре,а в качестве ударных использовал ведра. Позднее,на первой самиздат кассете Fuck Elvis, Here's The Reatards (No-Fi Records) , в качестве барабанщика выступил Greg Cartwright из Oblivians.Для записи второго винила, Reatard нанял бассиста Steve Albundy и барабанщика Elvis Wong. Результатом работы трио стал LP Teenage Hate, записанный в 1998 году. Тогда же состоялся их первый европейский тур. В 2001 году, при участии Alicja Trout и Rich Crook, Jay Reatard организовал второй проект - Lost Sounds. Важное место в звучании группы занимал синтезатор, а также смена мужского и женского вокала. По словам Jay Reatard, Lost Sounds - это лучшее что он когда-нибудь делал. Одним из сторонних проектов Jay Reatard была группа The Bad Times, где он играл с Eric Friedl и King Louie Bankston. В 2001 году они выпустили self-titled LP. После единственного выступления The Bad Times прекратили существование. Еще одним сторонним проектом была группа Final Solution. Фактически, Reatard играл в ней будучи еще подростком, но в то время группа носила название Jackmonkeys. Из-за постоянных проблем дома, он поселился с участниками Jackmonkeys, где сам играл на барабанах. Под псевдонимом The High and Mightys группа дала концерт в школьном буфете, исполняя каверы на Oblivians. Позднее, после ухода нескольких членов, Jackmonkeys взяли новое название - Final Solution, записав несколько альбомов. В 2004 году Reatard ,вместе со своей бывшей подругой Alix Brown из группы Lids, организовал независимый рекорд лейбл Shattered Records, который выпускал в основном издания на виниле. На Shattered Records были представлены такие группы как Kajun SS, Jack Oblivian, Tokyo Electron, Reatards, Final Solutions, Terror Visions, Angry Angles, Carbonas, Rat Traps, Digital Leather and the Knaughty Knights. В 2007 году Jay Reatard временно оставил Shattered Records, вернувшись туда в 2009 и переименовав его в Shattered Record Club и выпустив свой последний сольный альбом Watch Me Fall. Сотрудничество с Alix Brown дало толчок к образованию еще одного проекта, The Angry Angels.Поочередно меняя барабанщиков Paul Artigues из Die Rotzz и Ryan Rousseau ('Elvis Wong') из Tokyo Electron, группа начала гастролировать в США с осени 2006 года. Еще до записи втрого сингла, The Angry Angels устроили тур по Европе. Записав несколько синглов на виниле, коллектив распался. В 2005 году Reatards и Lost Sounds прекратили существоание, и Jay Reatard сфокусировался на работе с проектами Terror Visions и Destruction Unit, предоставляя им материал и помогая записываться. В 2006 году Jay Reatard сделал упор на сольную деятельность, отказавшись реформировать свои старые проекты. В 2006 на In The Red Records под псевдонимом "Jay Reatard", вышел его сольный альбом "Blood Vision". После продолжительного тура в поддержку своего сольного альбома, в 2008 году Reatard подписал контракт с Нью-Йоркским лейблом Matador Records, выпустив на нем шесть синглов на 7'' в течение 2008 года . Вскоре после выхода первого сингла и публикаций в NME,Spin Magazine и Rolling Stone, Reatard начал играть на различных музыкальных фестивалях по всему миру. В октябре 2008 года на CD выходит Reatard's Matador Singles '08 LP, включающий все шесть синглов 2008 . Jay Reatard был найден мертвым в своем доме в Мемфисе около 3:30 13 января 2010 года.

Ed. Note: Wesley is back with another roundup of live music and pithy thoughts for this month’s bands in town. I get suggestions for blog posts about “live music events in Memphis”, so I wanted to say: we throw this party every month! It’s 2020, people, look alive. Got a show to suggest for a future “Listen Up” guide to live music in Memphis? Just email me at [email protected] with the subject line “Listen Up”.  JANUARY 3 The PRVLG w/ Mobius Pieces at Growlers Doors at 9 p.m., all ages, $10 Twin musicians Christian and Chris Underwood are The PRVLG (pronounced “privilege”), and evidence you that all you need to dance is a rhythm section. Their blend of pop melodies and funky discipline have been entertaining Memphians for years, and they probably won’t stop anytime soon, thankfully. Check out their single “Lead Role” above. JANUARY 9 World Soul Project in The Green Room Doors at 7 p.m., all ages, $10 It’s actually a bit refreshing to be able to judge a band by its name. You see “World Soul Project” and you know exactly what you’re going to get. If you like D’Angelo, or Jill Scott, or The Roots, or any other neo soul band or artist from that era, this is all you. This is a very Green Room show. JANUARY 18 Booker T. Jones at Crosstown Theater Doors at 7 p.m., all ages, $60 Booker T. Jones Don’t let the ticket cost scare you off—you’re paying to see a legend in the flesh and hear “Green Onions” played by the guy who actually did it and not a weekend warrior cover band at Huey’s for once. Can a guy just eat his West Coast Burger in peace? I’m not bitter! JANUARY 18 Wale at Minglewood Hall Doors at 8 p.m., all ages, $22+ In a hip-hop era of very high highs and embarrassingly low lows, it’s good to have that reliable someone in the middle you can count on to make you go, “That song was okay.” Wale’s like that person on your favorite cooking competition show who’s just good enough to outlast all the really incompetent people but ends up winning because everyone else just failed so miserably. Also, he was featured on our very own Juicy J’s 2013 single “Bounce It”, which is a masterpiece.  JANUARY 18 BLACK FLAG w/ The Linecutters at Growlers Doors at 7 p.m., all ages, $25 Black Flag, photo by Rob Wallace Holly, jumping in for this one: In an old interview with Chris from the Flyer, former Antenna owner Steve McGehee said that he believed “we had the devil himself in here the first night Black Flag played” at the famed midtown punk club in the 80s. Will Satan be back for the revived punk band’s return to Memphis? You’ll have to see for yourself at their Saturday night show at Growlers, a venue with its own history of reanimation. JANUARY 19 Life, Explicit w/ Magnum Dopus at Growlers Doors at 7 p.m., all ages, $5 We’re leaning pretty heavy into soul this month, with another local soul group taking the stage at Growlers. Life, Explicit is a group of Memphis studio musicians who have come together to create some real joyous material. They also serve as Memphis rapper Tyke T’s backing band, who you can read more about here on I Love Memphis! JANUARY 21 Towards Space w/ Alicja-Pop, Opossums at Lamplighter Lounge 8 p.m., price unlisted on the event but bring like $10 just to be sure. If you haven’t been to a show at the Lamplighter’s new second room, it’s a good time to fix that. You can check out this garage rock trio from Richmond, VA called Toward Space, who wrote this song “La Luna” which is pretty cool, and who also apparently like to get naked during shows. I personally don’t believe that paying to see a show is consenting to be subjected to nudity unless nudity is an explicit expectation of the event, but y’all do you. Anyway, they’re playing with Alicja-Pop, the solo project of prolific Memphis musician Alicja Trout, and Opossums, the Memphis-by-Mississippi trio compounding on our city’s deep power pop legacy. JANUARY 23 Hawthorne Heights w/ Emery, Bad Luck., Vagrants at Growlers Doors at 6 p.m., all ages, $20 advance, $25 day of show Hawthorne Heights AND Emery? This is like a early-aughts post-hardcore kid’s dream lineup! Get in loser, we’re going screaming.  JANUARY 27 Louise Page / Shadow Year / Model Zero at the Hi-Tone Doors at 8 p.m., $8 I’m a sucker for an understated, driving bassline, so the NYC-based Shadow Year’s “Joel Tudor” hits me where I live. Good stuff. You may be familiar with Louise Page as she’s come up in several Listen Up lists and plays fairly regularly, but you may not be familiar with Model Zero. They’re a Memphis-based garage/punk band which recently signed with Slovenly Recordings out of Nevada that rips it to shreds live. JANUARY 31 Tool at FedExForum 7:30 p.m., $36.50+ Lock up your daughters—the Tool fans are coming to town! Punchlines aside, Tool is a band that makes hilariously overwrought music that, once you learn to stop taking it and yourself so seriously, actually has a lot to offer. But then you remember that frontman James Maynard Keenan is a tool himself and you’re back to square one.  About The Author Wesley Morgan Paraham is a Memphis native, a University of Memphis graduate, freelance writer and PR professional who spends most of his free time in his Midtown apartment playing video games with his partner.

Every Record I Own - Day 595: The Intellegence Males
My old band These Arms Are Snakes were big fans of the Memphis synth-punk / garage rock act Lost Sounds. That fandom led to covering one of their songs for a split with The Coathangers, touring with Lost Sounds’ vocalist Alicja Trout’s follow-up band River City Tanlines, and recruiting Trout to sing back-ups on our track “Red Line Season.” Lost Sounds also opened my ears up to a whole scene of jagged, synth-augmented, off-kilter punk bands---stuff like Seattle’s The Intellegence.
I bought this LP when it came out in 2010. Between Males and The Spits s/t, I had my fix for scrappy Seattle art-minded punk totally covered. But whereas The Spits had more of a lo-fi Misfits/Ramones worship angle, The Intelligence honed in on strange melodies, caffeinated riffs, lysergic keyboard lines, and  wry, disaffected vocals. It was a strange, energized, quirky punk album, and it sufficiently scratched the itch created by the break up of Lost Sounds.
I don’t really keep up with this scene much these days, but this record still gets my blood pumping. Good stuff.
