Music Blues

Sludgy and powerful, Music Blues is the solo project of Harvey Milk bassist Stephen Tanner. Having broken up with his girlfriend, Tanner found himself staying with fellow Harvey Milk member Creston Spiers, with whom he was supposed to be working on new material for the legendary art-sludge outfit. Instead, Tanner found himself working through his depression by indulging in booze and 90210 marathons and conceiving the project that would become Music Blues. The music he wrote during this time would go on to become his debut album, Things Haven't Gone Well, which was released on Thrill Jockey in 2014. ~ Gregory Heaney
