Here's a music blog for ya!
The start of summer has finally arrived with sun shining into your bedroom window. While sitting with a nice, cold Hefeiwzen in your hand, do you start to worry... " What record do I put on to keep me in this effen awesome mood?"
No worries! Here's a mini list I've compiled of the best bands to listen to in the blow-up pool in the backyard! (Note: or on the way to that rafting trip you just organized....)
Lizzzzzzen:
Thee Oh Sees - "I was Denied" off Warm Slime on In the Red Records released May 11th
Fresh and Onlys - "No Second Guessing" off Grey-Eyed Girls
Gories - "Yaya Baby" off Complete Bandin' Sessions
Lightning Bolt - "Assassins" off Wonderful Rainbow
Ariel Pink - "Alisa" off House Arrest
Gun Club - " Sex Beat" off Fire of Love
Eat Skull - "Heaven's Stranger" off Wild and Inside

Last month, The German Measles, The Beets, and Ganglians played at Sol Collective in Sacramento. This show was the last Ganglians show in Northern California until they got back from their Europe tour starting in md-May. The bands all played and after crashed out after the show at the Funcastle.
The next morning local filmer, Sean of TerrorEyes showed up to try and get the bands to allow him to film them. We set up their gear and recording equiptment in the backyard and had the band play two songs as sean filmed them.
Right after the second song, the cops showed up, but luckily we got all the sound and footage! Make sure to check on terroreyes.tv to see the video.
Also, last month, Zach Hill, drummer for Hella and a million other bands, left for the ATP festival in England. Headliners of the show were: Iggy Pop and the Stooges, The Residents, Joanna Newsom, James Chance and the Contortions, etc. Zach did not play solo this time, but with the highly acclaimed Japanese noise band BOREDOMS.
Update: check Zach's latest video story, Green Bricks; released a few weeks ago.
