FEDERALE with FAMILY WORSHIP CENTER

FEDERALE is a six-piece ensemble based in Portland, OR. Spearheaded by longtime Brian Jonestown Massacre bassist Collin Hegna, the band was conceived as an outlet to channel inspiration from ‘60s & ‘70s European soundtracks, particularly those from Italy made famous by the Spaghetti Western & Giallo genres. As well as the narrative driven song stylings of Lee Hazlewood and Nick Cave.

As a mournful whistle carves through fevered melancholia, the first stirrings of No Justice‘s title track evoke the mean streets and rusted prairies of a blighted small folk roiling with palpable desperation. Embracing the enormous scope of orchestral cinematic production while subduing the bombast of electrified riffage, Collin Hegna has honed a taut, gleaming precision from his passion project’s signature sound.

Spare yet sumptuous, distilling the lean, gritty essence of grindhouse anomie and wielding orchestral flourishes of widescreen delicacy, No Justice feels like the defining statement of a band fully-realized – a sultry, restless stormcloud arising from the darkness at the edge of town to draw forth the fated reckoning.

FAMILY WORSHIP CENTER: Behold, May you find joy in the following message as I have found joy in you! Have you heard the good news? You believe in reincarnation don’t you? We are but one collective VIBE forever rotating throughout time, space and consciousness. There can no longer be a sense of pride in who we are individually, as all things concerning individuality must pass. Whether we are the lowly serpent or the mighty deer, there is no need to differentiate yourself from or desire more than your neighbor, FOR YOU have ALWAYS been your great neighbor and they YOU! All are welcome, truly bring us your broken. We hang our pride on barren land! Would you rather be floating in the ocean with the FAMILY , or sinking with bound hands? The rope has but ONE purpose. The POWER of choice has always been yours and yours alone! The word has reached you, hence it is meant to be now and forever. COME ON CHILDREN, THE TIME HAS COME, FOR EVERYBODY TO ACT AS ONE - sayeth the GROOVE.
