Welcome to Heard in Humboldt on KHSU, a program where we play a range of live music recordings from Humboldt County.
This week for the first time in a while, we’re again re-airing something from the archives of Lost Coast Sessions, a show that was created as a partnership between KHSU and PBS North Coast and was originally hosted by Monica Topping here on KHSU. This time we’re airing a segment from the episode featuring local rock band Lord Ellis, who local fans of Humboldt’s punk and metal scene will likely remember.
Founded in 2011 Lord Ellis – named for the summit out highway 299, is made up of Roshawn Beere on bass, Steve Bohner on drums, Pablo Midence on guitar and vocals and Andy Sorter on keyboard and vocals. Lord Ellis members played in other local rock bands the Hitch, Dragged by Horses, Sake and Grimace.
The song we’re going to hear this week is “1000 Suns,” recorded live at the Arcata Playhouse back in 2018 for Lost Coast Sessions. Thank you to the musicians for letting us play your recording, thank you to the Arcata Playhouse, to KEET PBS North Coast, Monica Topping and everyone involved in Lost Coast Sessions. You can find the full Lost Coast Sessions recording at KHSU.org and you can find more information on and music from Lord Ellis on Bandcamp at lordellis1.badcamp.com. Thanks for listening to Heard in Humboldt and tune next time as we explore more live music from behind the redwood curtain.
