Lenz – “Hourglass”

Recently, Oakland’s Andy Jordan (The Cuts, The Time Flys, and Andy Human) joined forces with Ray Seraphin (Buzzer, Hunx & His Punx, Impediments, and Andy Human) to create the infectious glam punk of Lenz. Following the band’s debut S.S. 7-inch, Lenz’s new EP, Under Neon, was released via Tic Tac Totally Records on February 28th. With a nod to their krautrock predecessors and boatloads of old 80s synths, there’s an urgency to these four tracks that begs repeat listens. Check them out below:

Lenz will be performing on Thursday, April 5th at The Knockoutwith Permanent Collection, Tint, Jealousy, and DJ Garrett.

Poor Moon – “People In Her Mind”

Organizers for the Huichica Music Festival have announced the lineup for the festival’s third installment which will take place in Sonoma County over June 1-2 at the Gundlach Bundschu winery. The scenic and intimate festival will include performances by Beachwood Sparks (who have a new album coming out this year), Poor Moon, and Occidental Brothers Dance Band International as well as Bay Area favorites Sonny and the Sunsets and Papercuts, Little Wings, Sea of Bees, and a DJ set by Andy Cabic of Vetiver.

Sonny and the Sunsets – “She Plays Yo Yo With My Mind”

The festival is the brainchild of winery owner and music enthusiast Jeff Bundschu and Fruit Bats founder Eric D. Johnson. On top of the handpicked lineup, the festival also puts a heavy emphasis on celebrating the wonderful artisan foods and wine available in Sonoma. Friday evening will include a three course farm-to-table dinner with food and drinks from the Fremont Diner, Equator Coffee and small-lot wines from Gundlach Bundschu.

Tickets for the festival and additional information are available here.

Friday night at Thee Parkside finished off with Vermont’s King Tuff in rare form. Stage diving and moshing galore.

No one knew what to make of MOM particularly when the fat naked baby showed up. She does have a nice….er…..record collection, but I would prefer to hear “‘A’ You’re Adorable” without the squealing Mickey Mouse voiceovers. Be grateful to be spared the naked pictures!
