Bill Terry: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 15:16, 26 August 2009

Bill Terry created the Montag project while he was still a demented, reclusive high school student. He would climb into his attic room filled with psychedelia, musical instruments, and toys/games from the 1950s and 1960s and churn out the catchiest, weirdest, most original music Louisville has ever heard before or since.

Bill is also infamous for the "short, disturbing films" that he created with a wide variety of co-conspirators, including Robin Wallace, Stan Baker, Danny Maron and Jamie Miller. To this day there are people who will suddenly blurt out "Sha boing boing boing!" or "Free Bears!" or "It's even colder ... in the grave!"

Bill now works for Wild and Woolly, a dream job considering his lifelong fascination with bizarre movies. He recently recorded a cover of "What Am I Supposed To Do?" for Shawn Severs' Kinghorse tribute record.

-Indeed it is.  I was privileged enough to live in Bill Terry's world for a while as his roommate in the house on Everett Ave. where It's A Bill Terry World was filmed.  Bill's enlightenment was obvious and infectious.  He basically introduced me to psychedelia, both as a musical genre and as a personal philosophy.  It was not uncommon to find a slice of cheese nailed to the wall or Bill trapped in your car after a night's adventure.  Some of my most satisfying times playing music occurred in Bill's bedroom with a broken down assortment of instruments and toys, a random troupe of misfits, and Bill conducting.  'If You Don't Love Me, Just Lie' is the most heart rending piece of music I have ever heard.  'I So Scared', 'Umbrella Boy', and 'I Took Your Beat' rank among the most joyous, twisted and absurd.  Actually, the entirety of 'The Second Hatefull Masterpiece Album' is my favorite recording ever produced by a Louisville person or band.  I could go on for hours about my friend Bill, but it would take too much E-word.
