BLOWN is Fr<>ze & Party Trash. I¢y shit. Power-pop hero Nick Rudd's first solo act, known as Blown, gave Parasol its first full-length release with Forever in 1993. Rudd didn't bother with veneer of a band name with his next solo album, 1999's One Track Mind. Nick also plays guitar for Weird Summer (Parasol-CD/009 and Parasol-CD012) and used to the frontman for Turning Curious. Turning Curious (later know as the B-Lovers) released a Mitch Easter produced album on Metro-America titled Soul Light Season in the mid-80s. At that time, Peter Holsapple said that Rudd's songwriting was among the best in the country. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
