11.Pageant Boys – “Last Rites”
from: Shadowboxing EP / The Record Machine / May 19, 2017
[On what was originally slated to be a short trip to Istanbul, Alex Sheppard started recording music with his girlfriend’s laptop and a bluetooth headphone mic. None of Sheppard’s previous musical efforts incorporated electronics in a major way; “It was born of necessity,” says Sheppard. The songs on his new EP, Shadowboxing, came out of those original sessions. The songs are a sensual and almost effervescent approach that combine R&B elements with electronic and processed instrumentation. While in Istanbul, Sheppard established a routine in collaborating with a close friend and poet. He said they developed a fairly specific daily routine for working on music, with the intent of finishing songs, regardless of their quality. “I would wake up at 8 in the morning and start the song and get the chord structure. And then at 10, he would wake up and I would show him what I had. I’d make breakfast, and then I’d show him the melody I wanted for the vocal line. He’d go down and start writing the lyrics, we’d eat breakfast, and he’d have the lyrics written after we got done with breakfast. At 1, I’d start recording the vocals. It was a good schedule.” Sheppard has been writing and recording for the last decade even though he is just in 20’s. Before Sheppard started performing and recording as Pageant Boys he released several albums as Alexandre. Shadowboxing is the maturation of Sheppard’s artistic vision and introduction to a larger audience.]

From Mark: “I’ve been doing a radio show that focuses in on area bands and musical artists for 13 years, and I’ve watched Queer artists, lesbians, gays, bisexuals and and growing number of trans artists joining the Kansas City-Lawrence-Columbia area music community. My friend Amy Farrand, who is the leader of the band Amy Farrand and The Like, and also plays drums for Sister Mary Rotten Crotch, and I have talked on this radio show about how, as LGBT people, we feel more accepted in the Kansas City Music Community than in the Kansas City Gay Community. Kansas City has an incredible diverse LGBTQIA Community, that lives all over the metro region, and is served by a fairly Gay friendly community, of gay bars, welcoming churches, and music and arts and theatre scene, with openly gay people being elected to our State Senate and House of Representatives and City Council.”
