L8R – I LOVE YOU
Nashville, Tennessee lost its greatest asset yesterday. Ben Todd (b. 1988), party thrower, blog creator, record label owner, photographer, bass player, son, brother, boyfriend, and best friend, has passed on. As you can imagine, Ben’s presence will be especially missed here around Deadquarters. We’re all at a loss for words and still trying to figure…
HEY DADDY-O ||| COOL DADDY-O
You may think of them as the too-posh-to-mosh house band in Kill Bill, or you may think of them as the soul-suckers behind the impossibly catchy song used for an entire Vonage ad campaign. Don’t be mistaken though, the 5.6.7.8’s have more piss and vinegar rock and roll in them than you or I will…
TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT
We’re posting a little last minute on this on, but only because we’ve been so busy getting ready to serve up some great shows in the next month. Tomorrow night we’re kicking off with A Giant Dog, Rayon Beach, Cy Barkley and Big Surr. A Giant Dog is the side project of Orville Neeley from…
WHIP IT GOOD
Shhh, shhh….Put away your King of the Beach test pressing and gather ’round while I tell you about the most potent rock and roll band this side of the Golden Gate. If you’re someone worth caring about, you probably care about John Dwyer. Sure he runs Castle Face Records, which is responsible for Ty Segall’s…
PARTING GIFTS
We’ve known about Greg Cartwright’s [Reigning Sound and Oblivians] work with the Ettes for a while now. He produced their last album, Look At Life Again Soon, and it seemed like for a minute semi-secret Greg Cartwright + Ettes shows were popping all over the place earlier this year. With that said we weren’t too…
TY LYVE
We promised you some goodies yesterday and we totally bailed — our bad. But we got it today! Cool? Cool. We caught a little radio sesh with garage-rock wunderkind Ty Segall and thought it was too good to not share. He plays a couple stripped down versions of songs off of Melted [which if you…
IN THE RED ON THE REG
Heads up, my mamis n papis! Everyone’s favorite non-local label, In the Red Records, has unloaded a taste of some upcoming releases on our candy asses. Head to their MySpace to check out the freshest tracks The Intelligence, Davila 666, The Parting Gifts, The Dirtbombs, and Demon’s Claws. There’s also a new track on there…
PIZZA PARTY//PIZZA SUMMER
Many of you know local amigo Ryan Sweeney to be the drummer for In the Red favorites Cheap Time, but did you know he is THE GENE SHALIT OF LOCAL PIZZA?!?! Aww yeah, that’s right…Sweeney, in response to taunting caused by his steady diet of chicken nuggets and pizza, has set himself on a mission to eat…
