I am very pleased to announce our first ALL AGES show of the New Year with our friends Weatherbox! Also joining in the flora and fuana are the Rooftop Vigilantes! The dudes come all the way from Lawrence,KS.
It is all going down January 14th at the Park Gallery (4325 Park Blvd,San Diego,CA) @7pm.
We'll be opening the evening up to the moon, so come early or you'll miss us!
A few weeks back, Evan Winiker, of the band Steel Train, put together a mixtape for Baeble Music.
He was good enough to include "Creation Myth" off our Apocalypse Youth e.p!
The playlist also includes the likes of Yea Sayer, The Zombies, Manchester Orchestra, Dr. Dog, M. Ward, etc.
Good company, no?!
You can read the entire article (with stories behind each track), and listen to the playlist here.
Here he is performing a jam off their new record on Letterman:
And since we have broached the subject of late night television performances, here are some friends in Surfer Blood performing on Late Night with Carson Daly.
JP is using my Rickenbacker after he broke a string:
Here is a review on that particular show posted in the OC Weekly. If you hang on long enough, you'll notice they have included some kind words for us at the bottom!
You may also notice everyone seems to agree the sound was much improved after using my guitar... :P
They were also kind enough to take a few photos starting here.
It has been too many moons since we last aligned all our crystals with the stars. Now they shall shine with the power of youth, vitality, and love!
It is the day after Apocalypse Youth, and now a NEW DAWN. The new light shining upon us, flowing through us, and seeping out our pores, has been given to us in the form SUPER-NATURE.
Bask in the glory of:
This may or may not be the album artwork, but we find it inspirational. Thank you Rael, Nicholas Cage, and Johnny Polygon for all of your support.
It may or may not be coming out on a record label
It may or may not be the best record of all time.
It definitely will have been influenced by star people.
Be prepared for YNG WZRDS, as we have commenced the process, through which, it will be brought into being.
This morning I was lucky enough to catch the 1987 documentary Hail, Hail, Rock N' Roll!
The film follows Chuck Barry around his home and various concerts, with short anecdotes told by Keith Richards, Bruce Springsteen, and Little Richard among others.
Below is a small moment that I found particularly interesting. It makes me feel better to know that these events aren't just confined to small practice spaces, tucked inside business parks.
A few weeks ago we played an event sponsored by IsGoodMusic.com, called the Garden Party. It was a loft party on S. Garey St in LA. It was in close vicinity to a magnificent sausage restaurant called Wurstküche. Our friend Kat invited us there for dinner, and for that, we owe our eternal gratitude.
Here are a few pictures taken that evening that were sent to us via myspace, along with video taken by our friend Ryan.
Ryan had already consumed two JOOSE beverages by the time this was filmed, so kudos for still being able to operate the camera.
This is a good day in the sunny cabinets of southern California to look out the window of a dark room and listen to Guided by Voices' Under the Bushes Under the Stars. I imagine Vishnu smoking a pipe while Robert Pollard strums his guitar in a sea of clouds and Japanese wood block surf.
