The track employs the Surrealists' ‘Exquisite Corpse’ device whereby each artist adds to the piece without seeing what the others have done. Bauhaus have used this technique in the past to great effect. The title refers to the very first ‘Cadavre exquis’ drawing rendered by André Breton, Marcel Duchamp, Jacques Prévert and Yves Tanguy which included words which when strung together made up the sentence, 'Le cadavre exquis boiara le vin nouveau' ('The exquisite corpse will drink the new wine.’)   For the recording, the four musicians each had one minute and eight tracks at their disposal plus a shared sixty seconds plus four tracks for a composite at the end. All done without hearing what the others had laid down. The only common link being a prerecorded beat courtesy of Kevin. The final playback came as synchronistic revelation. Breton would be proud!

WHAT PRESS HAS SAID ABOUT THEIR RECENT LIVE SHOWS "Goth rock pioneers Bauhaus delivered a chilling rendition of their debut single, 'Bela Lugosi’s Dead' at their first live show in 13 years Sunday. The gig took place at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles, capturing the band in fine form as they effortlessly moved from the song’s abstract, spine-tingling intro into its eerily serene guitar jangle. Frontman Peter Murphy expertly navigated the song’s steady build as well, unleashing a mighty, reverb-soaked howl toward the end as he sang, 'Oh Bela, Bela’s undead'." - ROLLING STONE "Unlike most bands of their vintage, Bauhaus have retained a thrillingly raw, visceral, experimental edge. While Murphy’s still-powerful voice careened between strangulated croak and feral howl on high-drama songs such as In the Flat Field and The Passion of Lovers, Daniel Ash’s guitar was all jagged scrapes, disruptive shudders and coffin-lid creaks. One of the band’s biggest hits, She’s in Parties, opened out into an enjoyably rambling avant-rock instrumental... Bauhaus put the disco into discordant." - The Times (UK) "Anticipation was electric for their return — a line stretched around the block before doors, a queue that only rivaled that to the merch table — and fans came out dressed to the nines. The band did not disappoint." - BROOKLYN VEGAN "Those who expected to see an iconic band were not disappointed...  it was clear that Bauhaus were back with a vengeance." - BUZZBANDS.LA "... as marvelous as ever." - LOS ANGELES DAILY NEWS BAUHAUS (Photo: Bradley Dupray)

The Regrettes Perform Their New Single “Anxieties (Out Of Time)” On Jimmy Kimmel Live!

THE REGRETTES PERFORM THEIR NEW SINGLE “ANXIETIES (OUT OF TIME)” ON JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE! WATCH HERE FURTHER JOY OUT THIS FRIDAY VIA WARNER RECORDS PERFORMING AT COACHELLA AHEAD OF 19-DATE FURTHER JOY HEADLINING TOUR   “…captures the Regrettes’ effortless transformation from teenage punks into pop powerhouses.” -Rolling Stone “halfway between Gwen Stefani’s modern pop era and No Doubt’s Rock Steady phase.” -Consequence

Photo Credit @oclaire / Claire Marie Vogel Bio, Press Release, and Photos: https://qprime.com/artist/the-regrettes Last night, The Regrettes performed their latest single “Anxieties (Out Of Time)” on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! Watch the performance, of which Rolling Stone said “driven by heavier, more prominent guitar tracks and an emotionally charged vocal performance by lead singer Lydia Night, the Los Angeles band delivers an electrifying performance of the song — and reveals the effortless manner in which the group still invokes their punk rock roots” here. The band will release their highly anticipated third studio album, Further Joy via Warner Records this Friday, April 8th.  With the album, The Regrettes, consisting of singer and songwriter, Lydia Night, as well as Genessa Gariano (guitar), Brooke Dickson (bass) and Drew Thomsen (drums), have written a manual for living in these times, replete with highly personalized songs about things we’re all going through. Night shares, “that phrase, ‘further joy,’ summarized what it meant to be on the hamster wheel of constantly chasing happiness, but in turn, that’s what makes you unhappy. I was stuck in a loop of wanting to be better, wanting to be good, and therefore I couldn’t be here. I couldn’t be present.” The desire to break free of that cycle is what the band’s third album is all about. Further Joy is available for pre-order here, and will be available in formats including digital/streaming, CD, and vinyl. Independent Record Stores and The Regrettes official store will have “Joy” pink vinyl.   The Regrettes will perform at both weekends of Coachella ahead of their 19 date Further Joy headlining tour (full dates below), with support from Alex Lahey. Additionally, the band has confirmed appearances at Lollapalooza, Shaky Knees, and Bonnaroo 2022.

The Growlers debut “Dream World” video LIVE on YouTube TONIGHT 6/25, 7pm PST

THE GROWLERS SHARE SURREAL NEW VIDEO FOR LATEST SINGLE “DREAM WORLD” PREMIERES LIVE ON YOUTUBE TONIGHT 6/25 AT 7PM PST BROOKS NIELSEN OF THE GROWLERS WILL BE ON INSTAGRAM LIVE TONIGHT AT 6:30PM PST BEFORE THE VIDEO PREMIERE

WATCH THE PREMIERE:  The Growlers’ YouTube Channel LISTEN TO “DREAM WORLD”:  Spotify     Apple Music    YouTube   LOS ANGELES – Not even a global pandemic can keep The Growlers from debuting the music video for their latest single “Dream World.” Released on May 8, “Dream World” instantly went platinum on Spotify, with appearances on their New Music Friday, All New Indie, and The New Alt playlists, and was branded “A jangly slice of escapism” by Consequence of Sound and “Masterful” by Rolling Stone. Fans can tune into the world video premiere on YouTube tonight, June 25 at 7pm PST / 10 pm EST on the band’s YouTube channel. Additionally, Brooks Nielsen of The Growlers will go live on the official Growlers Instagram at 6:30PM PST direct before the video premiere. This will be his first ever Instagram Live appearance.  Directed by The Growlers’ longtime creative partner Taylor Bonin and starring singer Brooks Nielsen, the video imagines an alternate Southern California universe where the possibility of love is just a dream away. From Malibu to Hollywood to Chinatown (and of course, the beach), Nielsen’s character finds companionship in a world without people – except for one special friend, Heather the Doll, the latest addition to The Growlers’ surreal cast of characters. “Coronavirus forced us to be creative,” said Nielsen. “We needed to tap into something and make our own dream world. I knew we were gonna get lucky. I’m just a believer in trying, and we had fun filming it together, cracking up but also pulling it off.” Produced by a skeleton crew of Nielsen, Bonin, and their wives Melisa Nielsen and Steph Hulewicz, the “Dream World” video invites us all to embrace the other side, whatever that might be…. About The Growlers Long synonymous with the seedy, surfy, psychedelic communities of Costa Mesa and Dana Point, CA, The Growlers have evolved into a songwriting and touring force majeure, courting Hollywood and collaborating with producers Julian Casablancas (The Strokes) and Shawn Everett (Alabama Shakes, The War On Drugs) to make contemporary pop music that plays as well at the dive bar as it does on the dancefloor. Following a string of multimillion-streaming singles – like “City Club” (23m+ Spotify plays), “Night Ride” (27m+) and “Dope on a Rope” (26m+) – the band launched their 2019 Natural Affair World Tour, from three sold-out shows at LA’s legendary Hollywood Palladium, to a month-long run in Australia and Europe. “Where love is a treasure That’s the world I choose to remember Make a dream last forever Close your eyes –  But never surrender” CONNECT WITH THE GROWLERS: FACEBOOK TWITTER INSTAGRAM

"Some bands feel like your own best-kept secret.

Take The Growlers: The California group got its start when asked to play a house party...for more than a decade since, the band's managed to keep that underground feeling, where every show feels like you're seeing something special like you're part of an in-the-know community." 

Los Angeles underground indie favorites The Growlers have announced an extension to their upcoming North American Natural Affair 2020 Tour. The ten new dates are part of the band's perpetual tour cycle and include a pair of rare Canada shows (8/5 Montreal + 8/6 Toronto), a return to two fan-favorite venues, First Avenue (7/24 Minneapolis) and Higher Ground (8/4 Burlington, VT) plus two additional summer festival plays, Badger State Block Party (7/25 Green Bay) and Bellwether Music (8/7 Waynesville, OH).

Previously announced dates in support of their sixth studio album, Natural Affair (Beach Goth Records), feature The Growlers' first Bonnaroo play since 2015 (6/13), Atlanta's Shaky Knees (5/3), a two-night stand at Webster Hall, New York City (6/18 + 6/19) and their long overdue, first headline at the legendary Stubb's Waller Creek Amphitheater, Austin, Texas (6/5).

The 40 show trek commences this Friday with a  sold-out show at Soma, San Diego, with additional first leg advance sellouts in Santa Fe, New Mexico plus San Luis Obispo, Ventura and Anaheim, California.

General tickets for the just-announced dates go on sale beginning this Friday, March 6, 10AM PT.  All other shows are on sale now. Complete Natural Affair 2020 tour dates listed below.

About the New LP Natural Affair 

Led by singer Brooks Nielsen and music director/guitarist Matt Taylor, The Growlers released their most recent album, Natural Affair, late last year to critical acclaim on their own Beach Goth Records and Tapes (October 25, 2019). Natural Affair advances the band's swampy DIY aesthetic into their sturdiest, synthiest, warmest sound yet, bolstered by Nielsen's finest lyrics to date: social commentary, rhymes, and ruminations on the pleasures (and perils) of modern love.  Listen to the album HERE.
