about

This new music by Chris "Dish" Standish, who wrote these songs over the 10 years between North Sea Story breaking up and the start of recording. The basic tracks were recorded with friends and heroes in Austin, Texas (Michael Crowe, Travis Nelsen, Partick Pestorias). Then overdubbed in NYC with more of the same (Phil Palazzolo, Ben Trokan, Jerm Pollet, Meg Wolf, Jesse Gordon, Sam Weisberg, David "Prince Lefty" Leibowitz, Oscar Stern, Kristin Worrell, Bitsy Hansen, Nicole Provonsil, JA Fahey, Dan Cashin). Finally, sent to more (Al Weatherhead, Tim Buckley), who added tracks, and mixed it into more directed compositions.

* A note on the name. I "earned" the nickname Admiral when I played honky-tonk covers with my friends, Prince Lefty and His Ramblin' Kings. I don't know why, ask Ramblin' King, Rick Donner. I was just going to use that monicker, when I saw a picture of a 7" by a band called Admiral in one of Chris Newmyer's wonderful Facebook posts about all the records he listened to recently. I don't think either they or this project will be notable enough to overlap or confuse anyone, but out of respect, I decided to change the name. It is also out of respect for the contributions of others, that I changed the name to indicate the work of a group, rather than an individual. When Chris Convy gave me his t-shirt that said Admiral Faragut Academy, I knew I found my solution. "Academy" suggests the unified goal, and fluid membership, perfect for this project. Bound Beggars is the name of a wonderfully poetic and precious movie by "Beat" Tekashi Kitano, who is better known for his blood-bathed yakuza films.
