GonerFest announced the first little batch of bands playing this year’s festival [now in it's seventh year] along with the dates: Sept. 23 – 26. The tweeted to the tweople across the tweety nation that Australia’s Super Wild Horses, Total Control, and UV Race will be playing. Pretty gnarly, and if it’s anything like last year’s fest it’s sure to be a good time. If you wanna keep up on the latest drops from Gonerfest, follow their twitter. See you in Memphis!

OK, so first we wake up and mom and pops are like, “HEY KID GET BACK TA BED IT’S SNOWING YEAHHHH!” and then we get on the computer after sledding and the internet’s like, “CHECK OUT THAT NEW PUJOL AND SO JAZZY SHIV!” and then we did and those Danzig Boys were like “HEY CHECK IT! STRANGE BOYS IN APRIL!” Could this day get any better!? Strange Boys have hit Nashville before [back in December of '08 with Darker My Love at Exit/In] and this time is sure to be a total party. They’ve got a new member [See that girly up there? Doesn't she look a little Mika Miko-y? It's 'cause she is] The boys are touring with Spoon and Deerhunter for a little bit and some Chain & The Gang then hitting Nashy after their new LP drops on In The Red. Stoked? Yes. Check out a video of their new single Be Brave out on In The Red/Rough Trade…

Been slip slidin’ all day on the outsides in our sled, but we decided to take a little break and found out that our buddy Daniel Pujol upped his new 7″ online and you can check it out for THIS WEEKEND ONLY! Here’s what he had to say:

yo. this is the PUJOL 7″ im doing with infinity cat. it will be up all weekend at http://myspace.com/danielluccapujol. enjoy and come to the show with all our bands are belong to us. its has me, potato joe scala, sean to the wall thompson, and greg deathmask meredith. did it with jake and bob in the orrall office. peace out.

Daniel Pujol?

Go and get on that digi-digi-tip. While you’re at it, we noticed that those jazzy babes upped some new tunes ["Madi Diaz" is gonna be stuck in our heads all week] Check them out here. Oh, and both bands are playing Exit/In for the Infinity Cat Rock the Block on Tuesday Feb. 2nd. Much more on that later though.

Gorilla gon munch you.

Our Memphsonian buddies, Magic Kids [who are coming to town on Feb. 6 with Girls and Smith Westerns at Exit/In] just joined up with True Panther Sounds today. And like, two months ago, True Panther Sounds joined up with Matador. And like, four months ago, Matador joined up with Apple and came out with the iPadador [every Matador release available on a big touch-screeny thing and it costs a million dollars. Get us one now!] That last bit was a joke. But, we’re stoked that people are pay attention to our fellow Tennesseans and we can’t wait for them to hit the streets on Feb. 6th. Check out these jams…

… Or did Forrest Bride put out an LP without us even knowing about it!? We were down at Grimey’s today just hanging out and saw a Forrest Bride LP that we had no prior knowledge of. Duh, we scooped that shit [Hey, even if it's not new, it's new to us] And when we got it home, came to find that our fave Sebastian Speaks [Home to other locals like Deluxin' and Paper Hats] released this gem. And it’s just that — a gem. Not sure where else you can scoop this other than Grimey’s, so go and get it!

Looks like bad-boy Arish [King Khan] can’t get enough Tennessee. He and BBQ ran through town a while back with Those Darlins, maybe you remember? He’s bringing the Shrines with him on April 1st to Exit/In for what’s sure to be a party. He’s also bringing along So-Cal babes, Fresh & Onlys. We caught them back at Gonerfest and they killed it. Even with a broken arm. If you feel like you’ve heard alot about these dudes in the last few months, it’s probably because… 1. they deserve it and 2. they’ve been putting out releases like it’s nobodies business [singles with Volar, Woodsist, Dirty Knobby, Castle Face, etc.] Get stoked!

Three new 7″s are slated to come out later this spring: one from JTB, one from Mr. Pujol, and one from your favorite Kindygarten Circus. JEFF’s new 7″ doesn’t feature any new songs, not that it really matters since it does have “The Tropics” and “U Got the Look” on it. The other thing about this one is that it’s their first overseas release, and they’ll only have 50 copies stateside [out of a pressing of 500] Collectors get ready!

We know what you’re thinking, “Didn’t Daniel Pujol just put out a cassette?” Yes, he did, and it rules. But now he’s putting out a 7″ that should be out in mid-March featuring 3 songs [2 new ones] We think it’s going to be called PUJOL 2010 and will look something pretty Mad Max-y, like that picture up there. This one’s an Infinity Cat release [duh] Get in touch with your inner Pujol here.

Rounding out the slew of new, Kindergarten Circus recorded a new 7″ over the Krimmuh break and we heard a little sneak peak and can vouch for it’s gnarly-ness. They even brought in James Leg from Black Diamond Heavies for a little help. The 7″ should feature two songs and be out sometime this spring. We think. Twin Evils. Stoked.
