We hope you all have a spooky Halloween. And if you don’t already have plans, we suggest checking out Little Hamilton tonight. Those babes have been working hard all week to setup for the party tonight. Here are the deets:
Little Hamilton’s Abandoned Asylum Halloween Party!
:: Forrest Bride :::: Lylas :::::: Joy Division :::::::: The Misfits
Plus: DJ Danger + Super Deadly Dance Party!
Potluck at 7 Music starts at 8 $3 – All Ages
Sound good? We think so [Except maybe not the Joy Division part. Feels like everywhere we go these days people think they gotta play some Joy Division to be cool. We like Joy Division, we write papers about them at school, but come on DJs ---- less Smiths + Joy Division] Oh, and thanks Bekah C for zombifying those photos for us.
We mentioned this yesterday, but we figured we should elaborate further since there are SO many new bands playing the show. Natural Child just got back from their first tour [which ruled] and played with Black Lips last night, but tonight is their official release show for their debut 7″ [Out on Infinity Cat Records] You probably knew most of that, though. Here’s the low on all the other bands playing tonight:
BEN STEINE’S MONEY:
Two bad boys at heart trying to buy their way into the rock and roll world. Expect them to accomplish that goal by the end of the year. While one jams out the licks on his guitar, the other sings about high school, teenage frustrations, hot dogs…. yeah, hot dogs. They played an impromptu show in Murfreesboro a while back, so feel lucky you’re getting the heads up on their performance tonight.
THE CRUMBS:
Another two-piece rock and roll troupe featuring members of JEFF and Heavy Cream. From what we can tell, these babies love their food. And their rock and roll. This is their debut show and is sure to be a treat. Don’t miss it.
SO JAZZY:
So Jazzy is a rag-tag group of teenage babies fleshing out short, sweet, chuggy jams. This is their first show too. Ready for some math? Think ESG+Beach Boys+fuzz+no one really knows what they’re doing. That’s kind of what it’s like.
THE GLENN DANZIGS:
I don’t know how they did it, but somehow they managed to get THE Glenn Danzig to perform at the show tonight. And he’s only doing the Misfits hits that we all know and love. He’s got some of Heavy Cream backing him up. Devil locks.
And then Natural Child finishes off the night! So there you go! The boys at Glenn Danzig’s have requested that people dress up and come in costumes [All the bands will be dressed up too] The show costs $5, but YOU GET A FREE 7″ WHEN YOU WALK IN! How rad is that!? Be there at 8PM SHARP
Yo bay-beeeeez. Did you listen in today? We played some R. Stevie Moore and lots of other goodies for you. Yeah, JUST for you. What’s that? You missed it? You… missed… it? Ugh. Whatever, check out what you missed:
A couple weeks ago, TV Ghost rolled through town and shattered dreams down at Betty’s. We weren’t there [We were out of town, otherwise we totally would've been there] but they boys passed along a little tape to our best bud Nathan. He then mentioned it to us and we both feel like it’d be a real shame to let this tape go without mention here. The cassette [out on Dry Well Records] features a few tracks from Argentina’s Eel Life Cycle [we're not totally convinced on the Argentina thing...] and it’s some of the best stuff we’ve heard in a long time. Like really though. It’s really really good. Here’s what they had to say about it over at Offensive Blogging [One of our favorite new sites]:
The special thing was the tape i bought off jackson the drummer of tv ghost and it is by a group called EEL LIFE CYCLE and the music and lyrics are inspiring to say the least. one song is totally about tears for fears. highly suggest checking both bands out. i know tv ghost is from lafayette indiana and i don’t know where eel life cycle is from. that was friday.
the top quote is the title of the first song off of legendary CHROME’s 3rd record HALF MACHINE LIP MOVES
“everybody wants to rule the world”
Seriously babes, check it out. There are only 100 cassettes of this gem, so go here and get it before they’re all gone.
Hello favorites, we are super swamped with things today and there are only so many of us that can write on here so… yeah. But! We just wanted to let you know about some things coming up that we’ll write more about in the next day or so:
NATURAL CHILD, who just returned from a great tour, are having their 7″ release party tomorrow night at Glenn Danzig’s House with 3-4 bands that have never played shows before. But that doesn’t mean you won’t recognize the people in the bands. Well, you might not… because some of them will be in costumes. It’s only $5 and you get a free copy of the 7″ when you walk in!
CMJ Festival was super rad and wore us out real bad. But we’d do it again in a second and we’ve got pages and pages of notes documenting the whole trip that we’ll put up later. No matter how legible they are.
Our #1 mami Bekah Cope has been working on some special Halloween pictures for you guys, so get ready!
We’ll probably make posts about the other usual things [New musics, bad jokes, etc.] Until then, let’s all go see The Black Lips tonight at Mercy Lounge and party hard! Like these guys.
It seems like everyone is pinching the soggy cheeks of the Underwater Peoples crew [Home to Real Estate, Alex Bleeker & The Freaks, Ducktails, Julian Lynch, etc.] these days. Shit, even those Washington Post babies are in on it. And, now we are too. I mean, we’ve been fans for a while now and brought Real Estate to town after SXSW last year and had a ball; but now the same guys are making great music as Ducktails and Bleeker’s Freaks and blowing everyone’s brains out. They’re floating across the country this month and might maybe be hitting Nashy on their way home [We're working on it, alright!?] So check them out and pick up their records. They’ve got ALL the HITS! Here’s a video they shot recently for FADER.
Be sure to check out the rest of the series featuring performances of Real Estate, Ducktails, and more Freaks
Our favorite Atlanta bad boys are coming back to town tomorrow night at Mercy Lounge and we can’t think of a better way to get ready for the Halloween weekend. The last time they rolled through town was for the Those Darlins record release party, and if you were there then you know how rowdy it got. Expect nothing less this time around. They just wrapped up a few stints at CMJ and seem primed to play a few more stateside dates before jumping overseas. There was also an Almighty Defenders show or two at CMJ last weekend, so maybe we’ll get treated to a couple evil-gospel jams [Fingers are crossed so hard] Anyways, check out the video below for an idea of how tomorrow night should go.
So, tonight the Knights In Satan’s Service are gracing the stage at The Sommet. We feel kinda like these guys because we’re ticketless on the day of the show. Not because it’s sold out or anything, we just can’t scrape up enough ghetty green to get ourselves into the party [It's a sad life when you can't find $20 for a KISS ticket] The alternate plan is that we go out tonight and find a couple of stellas and convert them. I mean, that kind of embodies the ideals of KISS to a tee, don’t you think? Yeah.
Here’s an interview our buddies over at StreetCarnage did a while ago with Paul Stanley. It’s great. We posted it a looong time ago when we first mentioned KISS coming to town, but here it is again.
What a shame. I know we’re a little late on this, but I wasn’t able to say anything about it from the road, so yeah. The babies never made their way to Nashville, but we caught them oodles of times at SXSW last year. They were even nice enough to sneak us into one of their shows a couple years ago [Thanks again, bebes] We know what most people think when they hear “girl punk” but Mika Miko are solid all-around. I’m sure this isn’t the last we’ll hear from the girls. I hope. Anyways, you can pick up their goodies from PPM or our favorite LA shop Ooga Booga. We really recommend it.
That video’s from PPM’s “New Video Works” Pick that up too. It rocks and rolllls! The babies split due to “personal differences and other projects”. You know, the uzshe [Still trying to figure out a good way to spell uzshe when trying to shorten "usual". Help?] Thanks Mika Miko. You will be missed.
Here’s a little interviewdeo that the Brothers JEFF did after the Infinity Cat Showcase last weekend up at CMJ. We were there and it was the bee’s knees. We were so there that you can even see DD scoop ForeverYoung up and let him surf the riffage. I feel like we should almost apologize for all the JEFF oriented posts we’ve been doing lately, but what can you do when your favorite band is starting to get the recognition they finally deserve? Yeah…
Yo bay-beeeeez. Did you listen in today? We played some
