SEE BREAD, GOODBYE BREAD

posted September 30th, 2011

If you've been to a show lately, odds are that show has been a Ty Segall show. Didn't notice? We can't hardly believe it, on account of you being such a liar! You like to make yourself a big man by pretending you weren't rocked with fury when you saw Ty - big man! But like a feel-good parasite, Ty's latched hisself onto the 'mellican rock conscience - and admit it or not, you're all suckling from his giving teet! So much so, he's... (read more)

Llamas without borders, what?!

Not just two days of shows in a row, these British Camelidae actually plan to strap two shows per day up onto their sexy backs, 'specially for their Japanese fans, who we know to be amongst the most die-hard on this here planet 'urf.

CAVE KEEP ON TRUCKIN'

posted September 21st, 2011

Where were you, Chicago, when CAVE took it to the streets last Thursday and blew out the free world with songs from their new album, NEVERENDLESS? I mean, were you in an office, looking out the window like a sad cow? Were you walking your dog/child, or on a field trip to the library like the rest of your 3rd grade classmates? Were you sitting in your undies, on the couch, reading this web site? Well, you sure fucking missed out on a one-of-a-kind... (read more)

SADIER COMING (Y)OUR WAY

posted September 19th, 2011

We're accustomed to talking up Laetitia Sadier tours, even though they always seem to happen far away in exotic locales like Tel Aviv, Israel or Krakow, Poland. Laetitia's trip, and songs from her album The Trip, appeals to lots of folks all over the planet, you know? Thankfully, we recently discovered we're all on the same planet (so naturally got ourselves a desk in London)! Such revelations also allow us the trippy privilege of finally seeing Laetitia live, here in th' good ol'... (read more)

WATCH AND YOU WILL HEAR "QUAIL AND DUMPLINGS" IN YOUR EAR

posted September 15th, 2011

"Prince" Boniface "Bonnie" Billy goes by many names—St. Nick, Lucifer, AKA Joe— but close friends call him by his "nick name", which is short for Nicolas Nameham, which is long for NiNa , which is backwards for aNiN, which sounds a bit like "anon" which is short for "anonymous", and he prefers to keep it that way. Only recently has he come clean against the wall of speculation concerning his mysterious origins.

Which brings us to the... (read more)

ADRIFT WITH A REGIFT

posted September 14th, 2011

Baby Dee is no stranger to the Europe, where she's done the big tour thing, the small tour thing, the band-leader thang and the solo thing (not to mention the side-mouse thing). It's old hat, as a vaudevillian like Dee might say. A girl's gotta keep things interesting, non? Absolutely. So when Dee embarks on another hefty jaunt across the Atlantic in a couple of days, she'll kick it off with a performance at Kunstencentrum BELGIE, at an art exhibit consisting entirely of Baby...

BONNIE BRINGETH QUAIL & DUMPLINGS

posted September 13th, 2011

What strange crop doth the Indian summer season harvest? Behold - our soil births a living song or three! And just any old living music, but Bonnie 'Prince' Billy meats, fresh, pink and raw, just how you likes 'em! These first golden(-pink) fruit(-meat)s are yours for the swiping: "Quail & Dumplings," a digital-only single! If you haven't guessed, it guess it up now - "Quail & Dumplings" is from that extremely forthcoming Wolfroy Goes to Town album, the new Bonnie 'Prince'... (read more)

IF I WUJ, WUJ YOU?

posted September 9th, 2011

It’s a Friday and you’re thinking, “There just aren't any words to describe how I feel!” We know the shit is tough for you these days what with curfew and algebra, but luckily CAVE has the vocabulary to fill your gaps. CAVE has a new album called NEVERENDLESS and it’s full of words, just not in the songs (as a matter of fact, the songs mostly don't have words in them!) Take “WUJ” (please!) – it’s effortless, makes your face look funny and... (read more)
