"Indian Jewelry plays the kind of music I want to hear in my head during sex, invoking visions of wild
animals - a lunging cobra, a snarling mountain lion - and erupting volcanoes. Mortal coil be damned! It
was a full-on spiritual ascension, a powwow hosted by the kind of people you don't want to fuck with -
the kind of people who make me think bands are cool again." CHICAGO READER
"The mesmerizing, messy Indian Jewelry trio take you under their spell through sonic hypnotism.
Their tribal beat patterns, droning guitars, and snaking rhythms lead the listener into a trance that their
amorphous song structures do nothing to snap. Equal parts savage electronica and short-circuiting
post rock, the trio of witch-doctoring experimentalists area a trip to experience..." - THE STRANGER

"Indian Jewelry takes Suicide's tools – echo-soaked drum machines, repetitive neon keyboard pulses
and stylized vocal washes – but then put them to work. Deep, dark, dour dance music is just the
foundation for a warehouse-worth of clattery percussion, reverbed guitars, electronic churn, buried
saxophone blurts and synthesizer space dust. It's a vortexing black hole of sunglasses-at-night style
and nihilist highway anthems..." - DUSTED MAGAZINE

BIOGRAPHY:

"WE ARE LEGION!"

INDIAN JEWELRY, a band from Houston, TX, were formerly known as SWARM of ANGELS, NTX + ELECTRIC, TURQUOISE DIAMONDS, CORPSES of

WACO, PERPETUAL WAR PARTY BAND.

At the core INDIAN JEWELRY is a foursome (TEX KERSCHEN, ERIKA THRASHER, RODNEY RODRIGUEZ, JIMI HEY), but on tour they are known to shape-

shift and add new band members in various cities to alter the sound and context of the band. "INVASIVE EXOTICS" is a caption of both the founding fathers

and the adjoining companions, the structure and the free form, the tidy and the messy.

Renegades to traditional song structure, INDIAN JEWELRY mix drum machine, noise, percussion, loops, dance beats, guitar, keyboards, scraps of metal,

and other sounds into an unpredictable mash of aural delights, drones, and melody. Already amassing a swarms of devotees, INDIAN JEWELRY is

expanding our concept of song, and the way it is constructed and heard.

INDIAN JEWELRY is the secret that no one gives away.

RIYL: music based in cowboy motorik, hyperliterary chants and magical realism, concrete sound, endless drones, pre-cognitive dissonance, mesmerism,

and atavistic junk.

PRESS QUOTES:

M

+ INDIAN JEWELRY have toured twice a year over the last few

years, so their name and music has been dispersed amongst

the people, all who are waiting to hold and raise above their

heads this solid gold album. Because of their dedication and

work ethic INDIAN JEWELRY will now be booked by PANACHE

BOOKING out of San Francisco, CA. INDIAN JEWELRY will be

touring constantly in support of “INVASIVE EXOTICS” this fall and

onward.

+ INDIAN JEWELRY have sold out of past 7”s and EPs from just

touring and their small mail order division alone. With supply

low on INDIAN JEWELRY material, and demand high, people are

very eager to get their hands on “INVASIVE EXOTICS.”

+ LOVEPUMP UNITED RECORDS out of NY will be printing up the

LP version of ‘INVASIVE EXOTICS” so there will be two labels

working from opposite ends of the coast to promote INDIAN

JEWELRY’S debut. (Monitor is on a brief hiatus from Bmore

nestled in a Schindler house in Los Angeles…kind of a study

abroad).

+ “INVASIVE EXOTICS” will be hyped via BLUE GHOST by

dispensing 300 promos in a mathematical fashion with high

concentration on webzines, blogs, warfare periodicals, and

rock magazines. Contests will be run via web shops and blogs

giving away free INDIAN JEWELRY memorabilia.

+ "INVASIVE EXOTICS" will be printed with a sleek shiny metallic

GOLD Pantone that is sure to make all our brothers and sisters

feel wealthy in it's presence.

+ Radio will be handled by SECRETLY CANADIAN. Over 250 cds

will be sent to stations that play in your automobile and your

computer.

+ Beautiful 18 x 24 black and white newspaper print INDIAN

JEWELRY posters will adorn every teenagers bedroom along w/

record shops, clubs, book shops, and neo-hippy tee-pees.
