Биография

Erika Thrasher and Tex Kerschen formed Indian Jewelry in Houston, Texas in 2002. In 2016 they changed their name to Studded Left. The band includes Mary Sharpe, Richard Durham, Brandon Davis, and Rodney Rodriguez. The Rhapsody music service described the band thus: "Indian Jewelry are classic Lone Star State freaks." The LA Weekly said of the band: "The most mind-controlling band I ever saw was Indian Jewelry. During a set at the Echo four or five or six years ago, they found some top-secret dial on the back of their synthesizer and slowly started turning up the insanity, pounding away at the same unrelenting riff until a roomful of people was twitching and frothing at the mouth. So you could say I've got high hopes for this appearance at Part Time Punks' anniversary show. These weapons-grade Texan psychedelicists match truly primitive electronics, rhythms like Konono N°1, bleeps and wooshes from some kind of Soviet radar system, etc., to unending slo-mo distorto guitar that fills the room like boiling oil and ghost vocals from the other side." (Chris Ziegler)[ Paul Hanford of Dazed & Confused described their place as such: "Indian Jewelry stand at a kind of musical crossroads where the gloriously dark moments of rock n'roll's past hang side by side with clunky rave synths and a droned-out attitude."
