As we head toward the weekend, enjoy this delightfully frantic performance of “Laser Barn” by Lumerians. The song comes from the Horizon Structures EP, but the band’s newest album, The High Frontier, arrives stateside in August.

Ty Segall teams up with Chad & The Meatbodies to release new LAMC 7″ and gets his own guitar pedal!

It’s become an expectation that every couple of months or so, the hyperactive Ty Segall will release another little something new. This time, he’s teamed up with LA newbie Chad & The Meatbodies on the seventh installment of Famous Class’ Less Artists More Condos 7” series. This series is exciting indeed: Famous Class has asked nine of their favorite artists (seven released so far) to provide a new single for the A-side, then that artist picked their favorite new band to provide the B-side. Plus, all digital proceeds go directly to the Ariel Panero Memorial Fund at VH1 Save the Music, the charity named after Panero, who created the LAMC show series in New York to introduce locals to new up-and-coming bands worthy of discovery. Pretty cool, right?

It turns out that Ty Segall has a great ear for new music, but that’s no surprise. Chad & The Meatbodies’ B-side “Mountain” has the heaviness of a Black Sabbath song, the fuzziness of a FUZZ track, and the unexpectedly polished vocals of a 2011 or later album from Thee Oh Sees. Those are some big shoes to fill.

Segall’s track, “Music for a Film” offers something a little different this time – a slow build up with a jazzy presence and an uncharacteristic absence of vocals. It’s a little like ‘60s jazz-rock and it’s definitely worth listening to. The reverb god also recently inspired a new guitar pedal made by Death by Audio. It’s called the Sunshine Reverberation effects pedal, and each of the 100 units in this limited edition creation will be signed by Segall.

Recent transplant Mikal Cronin, whose MCII was released a few weeks ago, premiered a video for “Change” with SPIN last week.

Another one for the ‘house party gets out of control’ canon, the video revolves around Cronin himself churning out “Change” in the midst of a rowdy gathering, and a faceless being in a hoodie that wanders the crowd.

Cronin’s MCII, which is currently conquering cold-hearted critics everywhere, is out on Merge Records right now. He’s also extended this summer’s European tour dates and recently announced a stop at FYF Fest in August. More info can be found on the Merge Records website.

The Mantles‘ new LP Long Enough to Leave is slated for release on June 18 via Slumberland, and they’re streaming another track, “Hello”, off that forthcoming effort, the band’s second full-length. “Hello” debuted on Pitchfork last week, full of washed out ’60s garage rock psychedelia, but frontman Mike Oliveres dropped the borderline punk rock sneer found in the Bay Area-based quartet’s previous single “Brown Balloon”, opting for a more laid back and almost blasé feel. Listen to “Hello” and get full details on The Mantles’ record release party at Rickshaw Stop and upcoming East Coast tour below.

Yoodoo Park dropped the debut EP under his GRMLN moniker back in October, and now he’s readying for the June 4 release of his first full-length Empire on Carpark Records. So far, Park (who jointly calls Santa Cruz and Orange County home) shared three tracks off the record, most recently offering “Do You Know How It Feels” and “Hand Pistol” as free downloads via SoundCloud. Esquire of all news outlets debuted “Do You Know How It Feels”, and British blog This Is Fake DIY premiered “Hand Pistol”, with both noting the major ’90s influences bubbling up GRMLN’s new material. The latter went so far as to say that Park is “heading even deeper down the route of nostalgia-rinsed grunge.” The tracks are no doubt a departure from the sound of the dreamier pop soundscapes of his Explore EP. Listen and download both tracks below:

Pre-order Empire over on Insound, and then listen to the album’s first single “Teenage Rhythm” and get the album’s full tracklisting below.

Empire tracklisting:
1. Teenage Rhythm
2. Blue Lagoon

Since banding together in 2011, the soul rockers of The Reckless Kind have been churning up a brand of music they call heavy soul. Last August, the group dropped its debut album Golden Age of Thinking, as an homage to the music that inspires the entire project: rock and roll, soul and rhythm and blues. Bassist Brian Miu recently explained over email that, for his band, “These genres are the Golden Age of music. We take these musical inspirations and put our own heavy spin to it.” This description brings to mind the 1960s San Francisco-inspired category that so many bands are pigeonholed into, but instead of shrugging off such comparisons, the band revels in it.

With an affinity for the past that lies deeper than genre, the band recorded its album the old-fashioned way – every sound “was done by real people playing actual instruments,” describes Brian. “We did our best to stay true to the classic recording methods that were used on the records we love from the past. This ideology is part of the reason we titled the album Golden Age Thinking.”

Featuring an eight-piece lineup, the band has not only the manpower needed to resurrect its different influences, but also the finesse required to bridge those sounds together. With guitars anchoring its music in a solid rock foundation, the group layers on the polish with keyboard organ, tenor sax and trumpet while vocalist Phillip Mills has just enough grit in his voice to give him an edge and more than enough gusto to hold down a soul ballad. Brian explains, ”You can expect dancey grooves, catchy dueling guitar riffs, energetic horns, and tasteful vocal harmonies.”

The Reckless Kind is bringing its signature neo-soul rock sound and some new tunes to Milk Bar tomorrow, May 17th, along with Portland-based outfit Rags & Ribbons, San Diego’s Belmont Lights and San Francisco’s own Rosa Grande. In the meantime, here’s the band’s music video from “Blood Everywhere,” staring the most badass Barbie doll on Youtube.

Split Screens, the project led by multi-instrumentalist Jesse Cafiero, released their debut video last week for the track “Born”. The video was created by Cafiero, who says he was inspired by screenings at San Francisco’s Oddball Films, a stock footage company that has provided footage for Milk, The Summer of Love, and Mythbusters, among others. Created entirely from archived footage at the local Prelinger Archives, he presents the ideal scene for this dreamy, hazy track. Cafiero is currently in the studio recording the next Split Screens release (and recently brought in members of Guy Fox to lay down some horn tracks). Split Screens will play Brick & Mortar as part of a bill we covered here on Tuesday and will tour the Pacific Northwest with Fox and Woman. The video and show details are below.

For Bay Area folks, the name ‘Sea Wolf’ might call to mind a Jack London classic, a rugged high-seas adventure that takes place off the shores of San Francisco at the turn of the century. That’s why it’s strangely appropriate that Sea Wolf, the LA indie band that got their start around the turn of this century, is appearing at Great American Music Hall, a crimson-walled remnant of the Barbary Coast days during which London thrived. If you’d like a shot at a pair of tickets, follow the directions below.

To enter this contest submit an email to contest[at]thebaybridged.com with your full name in the body and the concert you’re entering the contest for in the subject line.

Along with the good folks at Noise Pop, we’ll be DJing tunes from Phono del Sol 2013 performers and some of our other favorites, with Blowfish serving up drink and food specials. We’ll also be giving away tickets to Phono del Sol 2013!

Mixtape: San Francisco’s Newest Psychedelic Sounds (Podcast #306)

It’s almost 18 months since we last did a psych-focused mixtape, which means there’s quite a bit to catch up on. The Bay continues to be a vital source for top-notch mind-expanding bands, whether it’s the heady drones of Carlton Melton and Date Palms, or the swaggering rock of Glitter Wizard and Coo Coo Birds.

Several of the groups included here have new records either out now or coming out soon. Prolific instrumental duo Barn Owl just released its fifth album, V, on Thrill Jockey; meanwhile, cosmic rock group Lumerians is serving up The High Frontier later this year. While we’ve been following some of these bands for years, it’s exciting that they’re joined here by a number of newer arrivals, like Fuzz (a heavy rock project from Ty Segall and Charlie Moothart), Group Rhoda‘s experimental synth songs, and electrified jams from Golden Void and Life Coach (both of which feature the guitar work of Isaiah Mitchell of Earthless).

Subscribe to The Bay Bridged Podcast!

Track Listing:

Fuzz – “This Time I Got A Reason”
Date Palms – “Yuba Reprise”
Group Rhoda – “Fire”
Lumerians – “Tawazula”
Glitter Wizard – “Motorider”
Carlton Melton – “Space Treader”
Disappearing People – “1″
Electric Shepherd – “Imitation Gardens (pt. 1)”
Golden Void – “Virtue”
Barn Owl – “The Long Shadow”
Coo Coo Birds – “Dealerman”
Life Coach – “Fireball”

Professional Fans is bringing its fourth official showcase to Brick & Mortar Music Hall on Sunday, May 19 with performances by Gothic Tropic, Seatraffic, and Cruel Summer. Expect a night of sunny California pop jams with subtly relatable undertones of emotional turmoil.

Gothic Tropic is a trio from L.A.’s Echo Park comprised of Cecilia Della Peruti, Daniel Denton, and Lia Braswell. The band’s sound echoes its moniker, fortifying rhythmic jungle pop with dark and witty themes. Listen to “Flesh Dance” off the Awesome Problems EP, below.

Rising San Francisco synth-pop duo Seatraffic, a Professional Fans favorite, will also perform at the showcase. Their track “Tempo of Regret” recently got the remix treatment from Moondive, which you can stream below.

Local newcomers Cruel Summer caught our attention with a few outstanding female fronted pop-rock singles on Bandcamp, dousing sweet summertime melodies with a post-punk shoegaze edge. Stream their self-titled EP below, recorded in San Francisco with Jason Kick at Secret Studios.

As usual, DJ CoolGreg and our own Katie Kopacz will represent Professional Fans with an all-vinyl DJ set. RSVP for the show on Facebook.

The Night Light in Oakland offers a great lineup tonight, with Nashville lo-fi pop band Faux Ferocious as the announced headliners, but with a “Surprise Special Guest” playing last. It will also sadly be the second to last Bay Area show for Chris Edley, aka SAFE, before he moves to Vermont. Spencer Owen rounds out the lineup, and the show will be MC’ed by Joel Robinow (keyboardist for Howlin’ Rain).

Below, watch SAFE’s video for “Treason”, a track Edley says he wrote and recorded in 15 minutes, along with Owen’s Knock and Rock performance of “It Work”. Owen, whom we’ve mentioned here previously, will be play The Night Light without his band The Timeshare, but as the hilarious yet touching video for “It Work” shows, he can nail a solo performance. A sampling of Faux Ferocious’ music, full show details, and some info on SAFE’s final gig follow.

The Soft Moon recently dropped the video for “Want,” offering visuals that are as disorienting and restless as the music itself. Paired with layered, frenzied rhythms and whispered repetitions of “I want it, can’t have it,” the video follows the erratic experiences of a hooded man, who, after inexplicably breaking and entering into a house and snorting white powder in a dirty bathroom with some random girl, has his most uneasy moment when he scrawls “What’s wrong with me?” on the bathroom wall. It plays like a drug-induced scary movie in just under four minutes, so click play if you enjoy sweaty palms and quick bursts of suspense.

If the idea of festival juggernauts like Coachella, Lollapalooza and Bonnaroo stresses you out despite your appetite for the elongated thrill of a three-day party, Pickathon is a perfect alternative. Located at the Pendarvis Farm in Oregon, fifteen minutes outside of Portland, the festival is held not at a small venue, but at one of the most intimate settings there are for a large musical gathering. While offering the same escape as more mainstream festivals – on-site camping, seven stages designed to transport audiences into different realities (seriously, pictured above are The Barr Brothers performing on the Woods Stage at last year’s festival), and a diverse, genre-spanning lineup – the festival is wrapped up in a stress-free, family-friendly package. This includes limited capacity attendance, designated smoking areas, free water, a special lineup prepared just for children’s entertainment and free entry for kids under twelve.

This year marks the gathering’s 15th anniversary, so Pickathon 2013 is bringing some big names to the Pendarvis Farm from August 2nd through the 4th. With artists like Feist, Andrew Bird, Divine Fits and the rock and rollers of Kurt Vile & the Violators already filling out the bill, the festival recently announced new additions to the lineup – gospel funk legends The Relatives and San Francisco’s own Jessica Pratt and Ty Segall. For more information, head over to Pickathon’s official website and check out footage from Pickathon 2012 in the very first episode of Pickathon TV for a taste of what you can expect at this year’s festival.

Stardate 1993, planet ‘aLaBaMa’, Man or Astro-man? are born. 2013, flying via rental ship (their rocket ship broke down somewhere about 1/2 way to LA), they land 60 Earth minutes late at Bimbos 365. In decent English they report great losses of equipment in the aftermath, yet it didn’t stop them from lighting a theremin on fire.

At 24 hundred hours, the drummer celebrates his birth. The crowd attempts to teach traditional ballad, “Happy Birthday.” Drummer – unimpressed.

Local aliens Terry Malts held the middle spot of the voyage. The set begins with “Nauseous” and the sing along chorus of a lifetime “Your Love Makes Me Nauseous!”

Oakland’s Chuckleberries launched the evening (replacing the Ogres, who tragically vanished from the bill). Lost in my own spacey bullshit, I missed what must have been a pretty short set. Had they known The Astro-men would be so fucking late, I’m confident they could have played an hour or two of Rutles songs. Catch them June 6th at the Red Devil Lounge with the one and only FLESHTONES! Catch them again at El Rio June 27th with GRAVYS DROP!!

On Sunday night, May 12, Jim James floated onto the Fillmore stage looking like he had just been electrocuted. His mess of hair and beard frizzed wildly in every direction and his crazy-eyed stare poured into each fan in the front row, one by one, as he reached out to touch their fingertips – and then bowed to the crowd in Namaste. His humble entrance was endearing, and kind of hilarious. His wide-eyed stare got comically creepy after piercing my soul for a few seconds too long and about two feet away from my face, but it was obvious he appreciated the audience contact as he sauntered back and forth across the stage and sang into the crowd.

After penning six respectable studio albums with his claim to fame My Morning Jacket, a one-LP stint with stellar supergroup Monsters of Folk, and two cover albums (of George Harrison and Woody Guthrie, respectively) under the pseudonym Yim Yames, James released a solo album of original tracks, Regions of Light and Sound of God, in February of this year. Incorporating his saxophone skills and a four-piece live band to back him up, the new album is much more jazz-influenced and ostentatious than his folky past, though his Louisville southern twang remains.

James opened Sunday’s set with the first track from said LP, “State of the Art (A. E. I. O. U.)”, and staggered through the majority of the album with a somewhat manic rock star swagger. The bluesy “Actress” and “All is Forgiven” stood out while the artist flailed around stage, and the sentimentally cosmic lyrics of “A New Life” (“there’s more stardust when you’re near”) made the track one of my favorites. Throughout the two-hour set, the artist traded off between his Flying V (which otherwise sat locked onto a stand), an acoustic guitar, a brassy saxophone, and he went hands-free to belt in his notorious falsetto. He’d take breaks between songs to acknowledge the golden bear statue enshrined on the amp behind him and did an spirited praise dance (or something) with it. This, combined with the Namaste greeting, made his set seem like some ritualistic offering to the gods of rock and roll. Strange, but I can dig it.

It was apparent James was having tons of fun with his solo effort’s new direction. The tracks from Regions were clearly the best of the show, and even surpassed the Monsters of Folk songs he closed the night with – though the lack of M. Ward and Conor Oberst/Mike Mogis (of Bright Eyes) on stage surely had something to do with that. The only criticism I have of James’ set was that he far outshone his band. Their versions of Monsters of Folk’s “Dear God,” “His Master’s Voice,” “The Right Place,” and “Losin Yo Head” during the encore were lackluster in comparison to the originals. James’ exalted vocals and jangly guitar were right on point, but the band lacked a certain mastery and emotional oomph that the original supergroup is known for. Same goes for My Morning Jacket’s “Wonderful,” and the last track of the night – a Yim Yames cover from Guthrie’s unrecorded New Multitudes.

Jim James – or his alter ego Yim Yames, whichever way you look at it – is an enigma. Each of his projects culminate in resounding critical acclaim, and for good reason. He’s a talented dude, and always a beacon of eccentric creativity. He’s also insightful and funny: see exhibit A. And his set on Sunday was all of these things materialized, up-close and personal. Now only for a Monsters of Folk reunion…

As a last hurrah before they take a break from live shows, San Jose’s San Francesca will be powering down with a performance at Brick and Mortar this Thursday, 5/16/13 with Religious Girls and Split Screens.

Amanda McCabe is a big music fan. In fact, she’s more than a fan – she interned at Sub Pop Records, was a VP at Buried Treasure Records, and created album artwork for Birds & Batteries, Garrett Pierce, and David Dondero.

So when she came down with a rare form of scoliosis, the musicians she has worked with over the years decided they had to help. And thus was born the Save The Amanda! compilations: 40 tracks by some of the best bands from the Bay Area and beyond, including Tartufi, Radiation City, Mike Sempert (of Birds & Batteries), John Vanderslice, Future Twin, and many more.



Amanda is about to begin a new course of treatment at the Mayo Clinic Spine Center in Florida, and 100 percent of the proceeds from these comps will be going to help her cover the cost. So this is a win/win/win: Amanda gets help with her medical expenses, the bands get their new, unreleased, or live tracks out there, and you get 40 killer tunes for just $10 for each volume (or more, if you’re feeling generous).

Steam and buy the Save The Amanda! comps right here:

Bay Area classic-soul duo Myron & E recently released a track from their forthcoming album Broadway, set for a July 2 release on Stones Throw Records. The pair met several years ago when both were on tour with Blackalicious. While touring in Finland, they met the Helsinki group The Soul Investigators, who are best known for their work with Nicole Willis, and a jam session led to a couple of single releases on the Investigators’ Timmion Records, and ultimately a deal with Stones Throw. Listen to “If I Gave You My Love” below, and catch them at the Starry Plough May 18 with The Bang, who we told you about last year.

The early stages of sun-kissed summer delirium are slowly creeping in, and who better to send us flying over the edge than Black Moth Super Rainbow and The Hood Internet? The double trouble bill (plus opener Oscillator Bug) will take over The Fillmore on Friday, May 24 during the tail-end of a month-long tour, and we are giving a pair of free tickets away to one lucky winner. Unless you have epilepsy, watch Black Moth Super Rainbow’s seizure-inducing video for “Hairspray Heart” below.

Still fresh off their sinfully syrupy fifth LP Cobra Juicy, released last fall on the band’s own Rad Cult label, Black Moth Super Rainbow will at last be supporting the album in San Francisco. Tobacco, the band’s enigmatic frontman, took a brief hiatus from the project to pursue his own solo work. He and his band members Seven Fields of Aphelion, Iffernaut, Ryan Graveface and Bullsmear finally rediscovered their sound and fleshed out their first album together since 2009′s Eating Us.

The new release comes more accessible than ever, without sacrificing an ounce of the band’s unique brand of occult psychedelia and warped vocals. “Gangs in the Garden” (above) is one of the catchiest weirdo anthems I’ve heard in years.

To enter this contest submit an email to contest@thebaybridged.com with your full name in the body and the concert you’re entering the contest for in the subject line. You may only submit your name once to only one contest. Winners will be chosen at random and will be awarded one pair of tickets unless otherwise noted.

San Jose’s Cartoon Bar Fight will depart for a teeny tiny tour next week. Spanning just over a week, the eerie pop band will hit usual haunts like San Francisco, but also make more out-of-the-way stops in places like Hayward and Santa Cruz.

The band will use the tour as a place to premiere tracks from their upcoming concept album, due later this year. They’ll also be teaming up with a star-studded roster of Bay Area up-and-comers (or already-there-ers), including Manzanita Falls, The Y Axes, Piranha Party! and more.

Your unofficial disco ambassadors of the Bay Area, Kevin Meenan (epicsauce) and Andrew Marcogliese (YR SKULL), are bringing another installment of Push The Feeling to the Lower Haight on Friday. The shindig will feature an electrifying lineup of local funk dealers, with a DJ set from The Beat Broker and a live electronic performance from Plaza. Resident DJs epicsauce and YR SKULL will spin the night away at Underground SF.

The Beat Broker is the alias of San Francisco local Ryan Bishop, who dishes out synth-heavy space funk with a hint of distinctively disco flair and is also half of SF duo Broker/Dealer. His nine-track Limited Time release drops May 13 on (Bear Funk). Listen to “Beat to the Street” above, via XLR8R.

Plaza is the latest moniker of Johan Churchill, a fellow veteran of the San Fran-disco scene (yes, you have permission to shoot me). His latest Flip Phone 7-inch is out on Sound Boutique (stream the b-side above). Plaza will serve up a live set of down-tempo boogie-beats and will likely fill up the dance floor faster than you can say “John Travolta hologram.”

This unofficial record release party for The Beat Broker and Plaza will be free before 10pm, and $5 after.

San Francisco MC A-1 just released a new track, “Summertime Sadness”, where he rhymes over a Ryan Hemsworth remix of Lana Del Rey’s track of the same name. This isn’t the first time A-1 has rapped over a Lana Del Rey sample – “Now You Do” from The Thurl Tape uses Flosstradamus’ “Lana’s Theme” as its beat. While “Summertime Sadness” is well, very sad, Thurl Tape has a some more lighthearted material that does a great job complementing his sometimes serious lyrics.

A-1 has been gaining momentum over the past year, being named to the 2012 Thizzler Bay Area Freshman 10, releasing some great videos, and playing as many shows as possible. His most recent Bay Area gig was a sold out show at the Fillmore opening for fellow San Francisco native George Watsky.

This Friday, A-1 has his first headlining show outside of San Francisco at the New Parish in Oakland. Below, stream or download the “Summertime Sadness”, watch a great video of A-1 playing with a live band at Different Fur Studios, and get the full details on the Oakland gig.

Nacent SF trio Couches are setting out on their “Real Lazy Tour” of the West Coast during May, and it all starts tonight at Amnesia with a set sandwiched between headliner Brasil and opener Old & Gray. Frontman David Mitchell (whom you may recognize as the founder of 20 Sided Records) describes the band’s sound as “slacker indie rock,” which he explains is “original indie rock, like Pavement, Built to Spill, Archers of Loaf, Sonic Youth, etc.” The three-piece is planning to release an EP in September as a preview for their debut full length, which should be out early Spring 2014, and just last week dropped a video for the track “Killer Mutant Butterfly” in anticipation of their 17-gig tour:

Comprised of Mitchell (guitar, vocals), Chris Griley (bass), and Mike Dubuque (drums), Couches self-describes as a “random bunch of misfits,” formed under some truly random circumstances. The frontman (who previously played in Slow Trucks, The Suggies, and Street Pyramids) met Dubuque (formerly of SF-via-New Jersey band Mr. Thumb) at a bistro around the corner from his house where the latter is the kitchen manager. The two struck up a conversation about music and, both of them being band-less at the time, Mitchell explains that “It was common sense to start jamming.” A mutual friend later recommended bassist Griley, rounding out the three-piece.

They have been playing a handful of shows ever since, heading up to Boise’s Treefort Music Fest back in March and most recently joining one of my other favorites Oceanography for a set at The Night Light at the end of April.

Slacker indie rock is a way of life for Mitchell. “I’m a stoner, I am a slacker, and I’m a big time daydreamer, but I work hard for my band, my record label, and my friends,” he says. “I like to think Slacker Rock is a bunch of starving musicians who love playing music, but try to keep the tunes a simple as possible. That’s what I go for with anything that I write. I like to think my motto for writing/playing music is less is more.”

That ethos is rooted in a desire to do what slackers do best – not try too hard: “I hate when bands have too much going on or they have 5-10 members, but sound bad,” explains Mitchell. “With that many members, you could be creative and make the tunes amazing, but most bands just sound like a wash of noise. I like good music from people that don’t try too hard. Music is my therapy and it’s my emotions and feelings being put out on the stage for you to either understand and enjoy or to dislike it and move on.”

This blogger, for one, understands and enjoys. See you tonight at Amnesia, or if you can’t make it, Couches will be back in the area at the end of the Real Lazy Tour, playing the Ash Reiter-curated Hickey Fest on May 25. Full details on tonight’s show and the rest of the tour are below.

Freak-folk’s not dead, and neither is Devendra Banhart. Though he’s been laying low for the last couple of years, he never really left. Nonetheless, a lot has changed since the last time we really heard from Banhart: he’s just released a new record, Mala, on Nonesuch, and more noticeably, he’s traded his trademark tresses for a (slightly) more conventional cut.

Currently touring behind Mala, he’ll be at the Regency on the 21st (and for all you South Bay-ers, he’ll be at the Rio in Santa Cruz on the 18th). We’ve got a pair of tickets to give away to the Regency show – just shout if you want ‘em.

The Dodos announced recently that they’ve signed to Polyvinyl Records — also the new home of local band Painted Palms, as well as Sonny + The Sunsets. Details on their first release with the Illinois-based label are yet to surface, other than this silly teaser video that contains a snippet of an upcoming track:

Since No Color came out in 2011 on Frenchkiss, The Dodos have remained fairly quiet, aside from a light show schedule. Later this month, the band will travel overseas for an Asian tour, including Thailand, Korea, China and Taiwan.

Melbourne’s UV Race passed through town this week, playing the Rickshaw on Sunday and 1-2-3-4 Go! on Monday. It’s their first US tour since 2010 and it’s a doozy of a tour. Portland with the great Eat Skull, the East Coast and on to Chaos in Tejas (May 30-Jun 2) with The Damned and The Bats. At some point, the band will morph into side project Total Control. Incredibly, the tour terminates at the Uptown in Oakland on June 9th.

And they aren’t fucking around either, or maybe they are — it’s hard to tell. They dragged a six-piece band all the way from Australia, including this blue-blond sax/harmonica/guitar/vocal maestro. The keyboards were also essential. Many songs were sung with three or four voices overlapping in a spectacular contest of who gives a shit.

The lead guitar was sponsored by Danelectro, and the full demonstration of its effects should earn him tons more free gear. The band played a single encore to the packed lil’ record store, “Acid Trip,” from the brand new 7″ (with “Speed Freak” on the flip side). If you need more from the red hot Aussie music scene do check out last year’s great comp, New Center of the Universe vol. 1, on Anti Fade Records.

UV Race is everything you want, a lazier Buzzcocks perhaps. In 2012, they starred in the first feature film by Melbourne artist Johann Rashid, AUTONOMY AND DELIBERATION. Call your local theater, tell them you are sick of all the trash they offer and demand they show it. In the meantime, check it out here:

Indie darling of the moment Kurt Vile will be playing a sold-out show at The Independent this Wednesday, May 8. The Philadelphia native is currently promoting his latest album, Wakin On A Pretty Daze, which has quickly become a critics’ favorite since its release early last month. Stylistically, the new album shows Vile’s subtle growth as a songwriter, with changes that are small compared to his previous record, 2010′s Smoke Ring For My Halo. Vile’s voice is still mumbly and smooth, and still thickly sweet, and his lyrics haven’t strayed far from being peppered with pretty metaphors.

Check out one of the two videos for single “Never Run Away,” a song with echoing vocals and a jangly guitar solo. Creatively making the best of a low budget, Vile introduces the video and plays the song on a record player while his adorable daughter runs around. Cuteness aside, this video amps one of the best songs on the album. (The more traditional/artistically directed music video is also worth checking out.)

We’ll also be giving away tickets to Phono del Sol 2013!

The rest of the MishiPot Microhood night includes a variety of other notable events, including (from the Bold Italic event page):

- Alite will have outdoor chairs for relaxin’, cornhole boards, a keg, and special discounts on outdoor chairs, backpacks, sleeping bags, and other gear only for Mishipot peeps.

- Asiento is offering MishiPot guests $1 off beer, wine, well and specialty cocktails from 5-8pm.

- Insymmatry will be providing a free chair massage.
