3803 Delridge Way Southwest, Seattle, WA
time
9:00 p.m. – 2:00 a.m.
Be sure to wear your dancing shoes.
The Four Solo Videos
The support of music blogs has always been essential to Deerhoof's success, and You Ain't No Picasso
has been one of the band's favorites for several years. So they
approached the site with four solo videos they created during the
making of Breakup Song.
Deerhoof drummer Greg Saunier
explains, "Normally we only get to laugh at each other from across the
stage. So when we saw each others' solo videos, we were reminded that
the other three are highly hilarious. Reminded why we love being in a
band together. You can only taste ice cream flavors that are not your
own."
Today, watch Vincent Moon's film of Greg Saunier. Moon's
Takeaway Shows must be the most imitated Internet music video format in
the history of Internet music video formats. His new series Collection Petites Planètes takes his guerrilla film making far beyond indie rock. In this recent film Saunier
wanders the streets of Hong Kong accompanying traffic signals, door
repairmen, and cigarette salesmen with a pair of drumsticks...

TY SEGALL UNVEILS TWINS ALBUM ART & TRACKLISTING
TY SEGALL UNVEILS TWINS ALBUM ART & TRACKLISTING;
ANNOUNCES WEST COAST TOUR
Last week, we presented you with the potent first taste of Ty Segall's Twins via the album's first single, "The Hill," featuring Thee Oh Sees' Brigid Dawson alongside
Ty. Now, lay your eyes on the above album art, and check out the below
tracklisting to get a further grasp of Ty's next explosive solo
venture, Twins. The monster energies of Twins follows Goodbye Bread, Melted, Lemons and Ty Segall as
the prime statements in Ty's ongoing discography, dating all the way
back to 2008 when he was just getting started. And in case you haven't
noticed, it should be noted,Twins is Ty's fourth full release this year!! He brings you Twins following the release of a singles comp, a fab collab with White Fence, and an album with The Ty Segall Band. Today, 2012, is where the energy is! Ty Segall
is a new man, a different kind of man from his knuck-draggin' earlier
incarnations. He's jetting toward Jupiter, brooding, looking at man
with x-ray eyes, yearning with a superhuman heart for a love to come
and stay.
Ty Segall's Twins is out October 9th on Drag City. "The Hill" 7" is available September 4th on Drag City; the individual track is available as a digital single now.
STREAM/SHARE/POST TY SEGALL'S "THE HILL":

CUPS MAGAZINE 1991-2000
CUPS MAGAZINE was a child of the 1990s. Who reads books anymore? Most people in cafes now, just cruise the internet and look at OK Cupid and Ebay and Wikipedia. In the 1990s, we drank coffee and read novels, and argued about poetry films and politics. Today's young hipsters could hardly give a flying fuck. They are more concerned with finding a good weed connection and getting a check from their parents. CUPS MAGAZINE explored the existential bohemianism of last great decade.
This was a free magazine that existed before the Starbucks generation. Interviews with Andrew Vachss and Jayne County? Magazines today wouldn't even bother today. Today is so lame stream. Most of the writers of Anthem and Vice wouldn't know who these people are.
This was the first magazine with FIONA APPLE on the cover. Also we had articles about Gram Parsons and Serge Gainsbourg in 1997. Nobody even knew who they were back then. And also three interviews with some authors like Paul Theroux? Today even Vanity Fair hardly features any worthy news about fiction writers.

"We should salute Ariel Pink. Let him into your life. Love him." - Guardian Guide
"A brilliantly odd piece of work that pushes the weirdness of Ariel Pink to new heights." - The Observer
Today sees the release of Mature Themes, the new album from West Coast natives Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti.
Before Today, released in 2012, was the band's 4AD debut, offering
the first sign that the intriguingly scatalogical music Ariel had been
making for over a decade was finally ossifying into a coherent form.
For many it seemed that Ariel had finally reached the wider audience
his early recordings had hinted was possible. With Mature Themes, Haunted Graffiti have forged a record that raises the bar once again.Mature Themes is a self-produced affair, with former member Cole MGN drafted in to provide some drum programming and additional mixing duties. Far removed from Ariel's early bedroom recordings, the sardonically titled Mature Themes reflects a more collaborative process, with the often-overlooked virtuoso musicianship of the band bought to the fore. "There are definitely not any links to my lo-fi origins", Ariel recently told Spin magazine. "It's so diverse but so different from anything I've done before. In a sense, it's really the record I wanted to make back when I made Before Today, but couldn't. We had time to let our hair down and try new things."
While the creative process was new, familiar Ariel Pink signatures remain. In fact, Mature Themes feels like the definitive Haunted Graffiti record, a patchwork of modern America, its esoteric reference points and moments of lyrical lucidity a twilight excursion through backwater LA and late-night TV channel hopping.

SLOW CLUB'S DIGITAL SINGLE FOR "BEGINNERS"
SLOW CLUB'S DIGITAL SINGLE FOR "BEGINNERS" OUT NOW
FEATURING REMIXES BY KING OF TOWN AND IN FIELDS
STREAM THE "BEGINNERS (IN FIELDS REMIX)" ON SOUNDCLOUD
PLAYING SELECT US DATES IN AUGUST WITH MUMFORD & SONS
INCLUDING HEADLINE SHOWS IN SAN FRANCISCO, DENVER, AND NYC
Slow
Club's latest single "Beginners" is out now via Moshi Moshi Records.
The track recently earned main-stream attention for the critically
acclaimed indie darlings on account of a music video for the song
featuring Daniel Radcliffe, star of the popular Harry Potter film
adaptations. (Watch the video on YouTube) "Beginners" is pulled from Slow Club's highly praised sophomore album Paradise, and comes paired with two exclusive remixes by King Of Town and In Fields.
Purchase "Beginners" on iTunes
Stream the "Beginners (In Fields remix)" on SoundCloud
In
conjunction with the release of the "Beginners" single Slow Club are
thrilled to play select US dates along side Mumford & Sons,
including a gig at the historic Red Rocks Amphitheatre. The band will
also play headlining shows in San Francisco, Denver, and Brooklyn.
Having built a burgeoning following on the success of their much-loved debut full-length Yeah So, Slow Club's sophomore album Paradise was a further step forward in song craft and lyrical maturity. Among much other praise, the album received nods from Under The Radar (8 of 10), The New York Times, Rolling Stone who labeled them a "Band To Watch", and Pitchfork
who write that "the duo has evolved from being among the best of an
indie pop field overcrowded with cutesy duos to carving out a distinct
niche for itself that opens up further opportunities for creative
growth."
Watch videos for the singles "Where I'm Waking," "Two Cousins" and "The Dog"

Happy New Year release new album
Happy New Year Self-Titled Debut Streaming At Spinner
New Video For "Twins" Available
NYC Record Release Show Announced
Happy New Year's self-titled debut is out today via Brooklyn's Crikey! Records and AOL Spinner is streaming the album in its entirety. Happy New Year has also released an MP3 of "Summer" along with a video for "Twins."
Shot at Muchmore's in Brooklyn, the video features cinematography along
with projections by Vladimir Hermand and Annick Rosenfield.
Antipodean
artist Eleanor Logan cut her teeth on Australian underground punk and
garage before relocating to the Brooklyn noise scene, where as Happy
New Year she delivers pop expressions of the heart via kaleidescopic
self-production and varied multi-instrumentation. A forerunner of
post-geographical psychedelic pop, Logan drags chimes, bells, vintage
synths and breathy vocals through darkly cinematic territories.
Inspired by a winter tour to Tokyo where Logan performed in a temple to
monks, Happy New Year's debut self-titled full length washes wide-eyed
wonderment with otherworldly percussion, cocktail soloing and an
unresolved fog of memories that may not have happened. Seattle's The
Stranger said, "the songs blend D.I.Y. recordings ofpercussion, drones
and tech sounds with a silky voice to create pop music that's equally
experimental and addictive" while The Westword stated Happy New Year is
a standout for "being both startlingly good and very different from
anything else."
After
appearing on limited color vinyl on French boutique weirdo electronic
label SVN SNS RCRDS, and coined 'le plus bel album de ce début d'année'
('the most beautiful album of the start of the year') by Europe's
Hartzine, the debut Happy New Year LP will now receive an American
release in the form of a limited color 12-inch on Crikey! Records.
Upcoming Shows:
August 24 - New York, NY @ Museum of Art And Design
August 26 - Brooklyn, NY @ Death By Audio
September 5 - Brooklyn, NY @ Big Snow (HAPPY NEW YEAR LP release party)

RINGO DEATHSTARR "Mauve"
Aug 21th, 2012- Austin TX based trio Ringo Deathstarr has announced a new full-length album for this fall. The group will release its second LP for Sonic Unyon Records (Young Rival, Kestrels, Megaphonic Thrift), “Mauve”(album cover posted above) on September 25th. Pitchfork is currently streaming “Rip” the first single from the album (link above). Mauve will be a follow up to 2011’s critically acclaimed LP “Colour Trip” which wowed media outlets and tastemakers worldwide. A small sampling of these outlets included CNN, Wired, Brooklyn Vegan and NPR, who all focused on the band as a highlight during SXSW 2011 (Ringo packed in no less than thirteen performances in the space of four days during the conference).
Composed of Elliott Frazier (guitar/vocals), Alex Gehring (bass/vocals) and Daniel Coborn (drums), Ringo Deathstarr plays music that possesses both massive amounts of overdriven distortion and shimmering melodies. The Guardian UK describes their sound by saying “There is a direct line between My Bloody Valentine, the Jesus and Mary Chain and Ringo Deathstarr. And it stops at Slowdive Central.” Frazier succinctly sums it up by saying “We write cool little pop songs but we just bury them under loud amounts of noise.”
One of Colour Trip’s hallmarks was its dizzying wall of guitar sound and underlying vocals; however Mauve boasts as much decibel power (if not more) as its predecessor while dialing back the sonic assault and raising the melodies. “Colour Trip was a great studio album but on Mauve we just wanted to write songs that we would have a blast playing live and could recreate easily on stage” says Frazier.
The band will be embarking on a five week U.S. tour this September and October (confirmed tour dates below). Ringo Deathstarr have previously toured the U.S., Europe and Japan. Some artists they have toured with include The Smashing Pumpkins, And You Will Know Us By The Trail of The Dead, Dean Wareham (Galaxie 500) and The Wedding Present.
