a roman scandal
A
Roman Scandal is a marketing idea gone awry, the quest to be revisited,
or not, some time in the future. The pitch-men are Tyler Jacobsen,
Alex K, and Jason Reece, but A Roman Scandal is malleable and has
included Sean O'Neal, Chris Bultman, Chuck Large, and Nao Bustamante.
A Roman Scandal begins in Austin, spreading outward and forming semi-permanent
syndicate/research hubs in New York and California. No forthcoming
releases scheduled at this time pending data analysis from new ventures.

Reviews
That's what the three citizens of A Roman Scandal are all about, carpe diem carnality and dark denim, with blood-red shirts and sunglasses at night, shovel loads of coke or cappuccino. Moonlighting from his Moonesque duties in ...And you will know us by the Trail of Dead, Jason Reece resurrects Ian Curtis' throat, and the worms that once resided there in Joy Division's rotten and nutrient-rich corpse now sink down south to writhe anew at all the hottest parties. Joining him are former OMD 20/20 members Tyler and Alex, who churn out backing walls of beats, bass, and noise necessary for Reece to fling himself against, over and over again, in and out. The only thing missing is the psychedelic light show and slides (focus on the bleary, jagged columns instead), but even without the black light, this is a sufficient soundtrack for a one night stand, Austin-strand style.
