P eople not in the mood for any
comical rubs this weekend
may want to skip watching
Comedy Central this Saturday and
come to Baghi’s for a rock ’n’ roll
hodge-podge, headlined by the Den
ton-based band, Centro-matic.
Centro-matic is a four-man team,
which stemmed out of lead singer
Will Johnson’s solo project from his
former band, Funland.
Centro-matic teamed up with pro
ducer Matt Pence in lead to the cre
ation of Redo the Stacks, an album
which includes 23 songs primarily
composed by Will Johnson himself.
The success of Redo the Stacks saw
the expansion of the band to include
producer Matt Pence on the drums,
Scott Dandom on piano and violin,
and Mark Hedman on bass. Hedman,
a property tax coordinator for First
American Bank, said the band’s primary goal is to con
tinue to create great music.
“We just want to keep putting out music which
makes us happy,” Hedman said.
“Which kind of alienates us from major labels, but
as long as we get the sound we want, then that’s all that
really matters.”
Centro-matic uses a variety of methods for recording
their music. Hedman said he enjoys creating different
sounds using alternative recording styles.
“It’s just more interesting for us to have a variety of
sounds,” Hedman said. "Sometimes different kinds of
equipment make better-sounding music, and it doesn’t
matter if you’re just using 4-tracks. This gives our mu
sic more character. ”

The Static vs.
The Strings Vol. 1
Quality Park Records
The Static vs. The Strings Vol. 1
is really one of those in-between
albums of out-takes and B-sides
meant to precursor a bigger album
(Vol. 2) due for release in January.
This album proves that even Cen
tro-matic “seconds” are golden
keepers.
Song-writing guru Will John
son began Centro-matic as a solo
project just three years ago with a
microphone and a 4-track, and
since then has burned the Denton
music scene with a four-man band
and a steady stream of musical
proficiency. In these three years.
Centro-matic has seen the release
of three CDs and one tape.
As a sort of filler between Redo
the Stacks and the currently in
progress album, The Static proves
to be original and disorganized,
with an array of songs randomly
recorded (1996-99) that has every
thing from shiny tech dog ma
chinery to vintage 4-tracks.
