Rectangle Club's Shane Hall Releases Solo Work


Shane Hall, frontman for the original rock quartet The Rectangle Club (based out of Uxbridge), has a new solo record on the launching pad. Called Basic Draining, it is complete and mastered, and should be in his mailbox - and available to fans - soon. Hall is following this up with a tour the last two weeks in April, with dates on the east coast as well as in the midwest. "It's got a lot of my Rectangle buddies, past and present, on it helping me out," says Hall, "as well as Sam Dingley from the Red Attire playing bass cello for 'Astronaut.' Buddy Peace (British hip-hop deejay and producer) and I did what I think is a standout rendition of Brian Eno's 'The Fat Lady of Limbourgh."

Typically, Shane employs a backing band called The Dust Collectors, who will join him on the pending tour. The Collectors lineup includes Michael Roser and Brian Delsignore (who is also in the Rectangle Club).

But Shane will be by his lonesome on Saturday, Jan. 31, when he does the songs of Leonard Cohen at The Q on Chandler Street.
