THE RUNDOWN – 9.22.2014 – 9.28.2014
Here comes a week of events rather than shows. Gonerfest 11 is this weekend this weekend, and we’re lucky enough to have Golden Pelicans and So Cow pass through on their way there on Wednesday night. Thursday is TSU’s Homecoming, so they’ve sprung for a Juicy J party [and Lord knows a Juicy J party…
A NEEDLE IN FULL BLOOM
So what does happen to a dream deferred? It’s been three years since the Paperhead released their self-titled debut, and we’ve been a patient johnny. Sure, there have been snacky tracks to hold us over (a single here, and comp there), but we want the real thing, baby! When’s that next LP?? The answer came…
September Bois
So this week in the land of Jubilee, we have a deal called Americana Fest going on, basically meaning there’s a long line at Arnold’s all week. In addition to longer lines at your favorite meat and threes, we were just as surprised as stoked to find out that drummer Jody Stephens of Big Star, which…
Vid Yo Time
The New Yak Times debuted Ty Segall‘s new video for “Manipulator,” the second single off of his new LP a few days ago. Created by former University of San Francisco classmate Matt Yoka, the video features cut-and-paste art book images, textures and nature scenes that evolve as the video progresses. The coolest part is that the…
THE RUNDOWN – 9.8.2014 – 9.14.2014
GREAT week ahead of us. Fletcher C Johnson and Joey Plunkett are doing a free in-store at Fond Object and Ty Segall is doing a free in-store at Grimey’s all before Ty’s big show at Mercy Lounge tonight, Designer is also playing at Dino’s tonight, Sun Araw is playing at Betty’s on Wednesday, the Music Band…
THE RUNDOWN – 9.2.2014 – 9.7.2014
Very hard to believe we’re already in September. Seems like it was only yesterday that we were surrounded by April showers and pining for a pool. Alas, time keeps on slippin’. Good shows this week: Dent May at Stone Fox tomorrow, Liquor Store and Bummers Eve at Betty’s on Thursday while Bass Drum of Death…
SOMEONE OUT THERE
There’s a new single out through the Famous Class LAMC series, and this one comes from two of our favorites: White Fence and Jack Name. The White Fence track is full of all the bedroom jangle and lysergic turn-arounds we’ve come to expect from him, but the Jack Name track is what really has us…
BIKERS WELCOME! NO COLORS!
Bonnaroo, Coachella, and Lollapalooza. For the last few years, these have been the largest music festivals money could buy a ticket to. Of course money isn’t everything, and as we have gotten older, it’s become harder and harder to find artists in these line-ups worth getting excited about. All respect to Outkast and Wilco, but where…
