  Neil Michael Hagerty : Neil Michael Hagerty - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Neil Michael Hagerty solves this "problem" with a collection of songs that avoid both Trux' subversive boogie rock and its avant-noise; it's not as explosive or loud as the duo's definitive Twin Infinitives, but it's almost as weird and self-indulgent.
If anything, Neil Michael Hagerty is the sonic equivalent of Hagerty's novel -Victory Chimp: chaotic, clever, and on a very specific wavelength that he doesn't bother to decode for the uninitiated.
Neil Michael Hagerty's mix of stiff, cheap drum machine beats, psychedelic organs, and guitar heroics lends itself to some of Hagerty's most mercurial music: Lengthy tracks such as "Kali, the Carpenter," "Fortune and Fear," and "I Found a Stranger" constantly shift and change in alternately fascinating and alienating ways.

 Neil Michael Hagerty: Plays That Good Old Rock and Roll: Pitchfork Record Review
I figured Neil would use the press surrounding the split as a little free publicity for his debut album, and before you knew it the jig would be up and Royal Trux would be back on the rails.
Neil himself says he has no idea, but he's stayed busy with songwriting and has gone back to collaborating.
Of all the obvious potshots one might be tempted to take at Neil Hagerty, he's got at least one t...

O valor deste disco está na soma desses instrumentos, orquestrados pela mente turtuosa de Neil Hagerty.
A verdade é que Neil Michael Hagerty até encaixa nesse epíteto, se bem que numa definição totalmente diferente da habitual, como se pode constatar, por exemplo, em "Creature Catcher" ou "Whiplash in the Park".
Hagerty define-se pela excentricidade, das letras às composições, passando pela voz que por vezes soa a adolescente em processo de crescimento.

Hagerty toys with Little Richard sensibilities on the album opener, 'Firebase Ripcord', meddles in folksy sentiment on 'White Sex', and smooth steps a backward boogie in the beautiful 'I'm your Son'.
In a live setting, Hagerty is known for toying with the song arrangements that are represented on his records, and more often than not the tunes take on a new life, which keeps it fresh for Hagerty's revolving band and the audience as well.
A Neil Michael Hagerty show is about the immediacy of the music, and the psychology behind it transcends the physicality that has been and is the crutch of countless bands.

 Neil Michael Hagerty : The Howling Hex - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
In an abrupt volte-face from the lengthy, often languid jams that made up his first two solo albums, on The Howling Hex Neil Hagerty crams 21 songs that span virtually every aspect of his sound into an hour.
In its own off-kilter way, Neil Michael Hagerty remains the best balance of Hagerty's experimental and classic rock impulses in his solo career; both Plays That Good Old Rock & Roll and this album suggest that Hagerty could benefit from an editor.
It's too bad that Hagerty didn't simply take the best ideas here and develop them into full-fledged songs, but then his music has never been about taking the easy path.

 The soundtrack of Neil Hagerty's life   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Twenty years ago, Hagerty, who plays the Alamo Downtown tonight, was part of the newly formed Pussy Galore, who would soon catapult themselves into indie rock history with an influential combination of hideous guitar noise, junkyard percussion and the loosest garage rock imaginable.
Hagerty, clean and sober, seemingly more focused than he'd been in years, launched a solo career that year; his band is called the Howling Hex.
It was Royal Trux's mutability that Hagerty thinks was the band's strongest asset, and he's tried to keep that for the Hex.

 Cd Reviews: Einstürzende Neubauten, Liars, Von Spar, Roenne... (Dorfdisco Berlin)
Einstürzende Neubauten • Liars• Von Spar • Roenne Neil Michael Hagerty & the Howling Hex
It starts off with a bang, a dirty funk type of bang to be precise, with Hagerty squeezing out some juicy riffs that remind me of the Trux's later stuff, while asserting his power as a blues rock vocalist, squawking out the melodies like a Venus Hottentot injected with a deciliter of testosterone.
Live, Hagerty is famous for turning his back on the audience in the middle of a song and soloing (or noodling, as some would have it) for six hour stretches.

Yes, Pitchfork readers, there's a new NMH in town, and this one is more likely to reference Ann Wilson than Anne Frank.
Neil Michael Hagerty, on the other hand, is a bit of a curveball.
The harmonized guitar and organ parts on "I Found a Stranger" are a drone-lover's wet dream; when Hagerty bursts into his soulman falsetto around the three-minute mark, the contrast is divine.

The self-titled album was followed by a collaboration record (A Drag City Supersession), a second solo album, and a comic book with a twisted mythic journey that only compounds the confusion surrounding the Royal Trux.
Now, another season has passed, and Hagerty’s work ethic has failed to slow.
A collaboration with Ian and Michelle from the Make-Up called Weird War is just weeks from release, and if the saga surrounding the Royal Trux weren’t already too big to comprehend, one last RTX album is on the way.

My previous dislike of all things Hagerty, specifically the ponderous and confusing work of Royal Trux, was shattered when I saw him do a solo-billed set at the first Los Angeles version of the All Tomorrow’s Parties festival, held at UCLA in 2002.
In a very sizable auditorium, with only about thirty people watching him and his two-piece back-up band, Hagerty delivered what is to this day one of the strongest rock ‘n roll live sets I have witnessed in my entire life, no joke.
Thankfully, Hagerty’s third album, “The Howling Hex”, does contain a live version of “Rockslide”, one as close to the version I first heard as it’s humanly possible to get.

Hagerty and his band really get down on a couple of numbers in that snakey guitar boogaloo that characterized so much of Royal Trux's material.
On a couple of songs he even sings with a female backing vocalist, in place of jennifer herrema no doubt.

 NME.COM - Reviews - Neil Hagerty : Neil Michael Hagerty
Royal Trux might have been the most all-American band to harbour the misanthropy of an Unabomber behind their Aviator shades, but there something of mom's apple pie to them: throughout their 16-year history, Neil Hagerty and Jennifer Herrema have always been a walking, talking, chain-smoking advert for the joys of domestic bliss.
Sure, 'I Found A Stranger' and 'Creature Catcher' might sound as far from conventional rock'n'roll as ever - rhythms are arhythmic, songs are dominated by deceptively clumsy, reverb-heavy guitar solos - but there's also a sweet cockiness to Hagerty's voice that carries the likes of the violin-accompanied 'Repeat The Sound Of Joy'.
As ever, if this is the sound of the music playing in Hagerty's head, he belonged in a sanatorium long ago.

Featuring original songs and covers performed by Neil Michael Hagerty (Royal Trux), Bill Callahan (Smog) and Edith Frost.
For the record, Callahan, Hagerty and Frost each contributed two original songs, chose four additional covers, and let the tape roll.
By contrast, Hagerty's "Texas Dogleg" recalls the guitar-heavy boogie-rock found on previous Royal Trux albums, while the fun and simple "Everyday" gives us a glimpse of where he might be going.

SMOG and Neil Michael Hagerty’s (aka Royal Trux) The Howling Hex.
Howling Hex is the brain child of Neil Michael Hagerty who is co-founder of the now-legendary boogie-noise visionaries Royal Trux; as with the Trux, Howling Hex does it all: meticulously arranged hard-rock compositions, extended jam-band workouts, explorative jazz fusion, poetic indie folk-rock, electronic freakery, and full-tilt improvisation.
In fact, I’ll say the dude is my generation’s Neil Young, Grateful Dead, and Bob Dylan wrapped, rolled, and sealed into a single package.

If we must continue to hear Caucasians "play that old rock and roll" (as this former Royal Trux guitarist titled his second solo set), let it come from Neil Michael Hagerty.
Postmodern and sincere, he refracts hoary rock cliches through prisms of irony until The Rock shines like diamonds.
Although many of the 21 songs on Hagerty's third solo effort, The Howling Hex, evoke the Rolling Stones' sexy, surging early-'70s heyday, Hagerty's idiosyncratic playing also recalls Quicksilver Messenger Service's acid-rock maestro John Cipollina and avant-jazz wildman Sonny Sharrock.
