Among its three members, the brand new supergroup Orcutt Shelley Miller includes a whole lot of avant-rock experience and salt-and-pepper wizard-beard action. Of the three people in the band, chances are you’re most familiar with Steve Shelley, the most modestly bearded of them. For many years, Shelley played drums for Sonic Youth, and he reunited with his former bandmates Thurston Moore and Lee Randaldo onstage in New York last year. Bill Orcutt used to be in Harry Pussy, and now he makes his own way-out solo music. A few months ago, his Bill Orcutt Guitar Quartet released their album HausLive 4, and we interviewed him. Ethan Miller is a member of Comets On Fire, and he leads the band Howlin Rain. Now, Orcutt, Shelley, and Miller are making music together in a new power trio that they’ve chosen to call Orcutt Shelley Miller.
