Three are from Dallas/Fort Worth and When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth are from Austin. When Dinosaurs… will be on the 2nd release by my label, us two records, which should be out by middle to late April. Here is an older mp3 of theirs “Let’s All Get Fades“.

I will have some video coming soon, but in the mean time, fotophonic was nice enough to share some Sleepy Sun Videos, The Fresh & Onlys videos and some pictures from HOWL’s set. Thanks so much!!

New Show Announcement + MP3, Video

I am pleased to announce that PONYTAIL,  Baltimore art-punk four-piece, will be coming to The Cavern in Dallas on May 21st. Other acts and info tba soon.

Ponytail’s newest album, Ice Cream Spiritual (we are free), came out last week. The lyrics (or lyrical stylings), which the majority of the time are indecipherable and incoherent, can be thought of as a drunk Bjork or an spastic Satomi of Deerhoof. The music can directly be compared to Brooklyn’s Parts & Labor or Pterodactyl. I caught Ponytail at Club 1808 in Austin last week and was completely amazed by their enthusiastic performance and how ecstatic I felt after. MP3 of “Celebrate the Body Electric“.

The below video is not the show I attended, but from Urban Outfitters earlier that day. The song is “7 Souls”, which is the 3rd track off the new album.

Sxsflesh Aftermath

Thanks: I need to first say thank you to all the agents, bands, friends and citizens who made yesterday happen; and the turnout was fantastic for a first attempt. I like to give very special thanks to M for working the door at the very last minute. You really kept things flowing better than anyone else yesterday. 

Cancellations: Trash Talk cancelled that day due to Lee re-injuring his knee cap.  Wavves cancelled because he didn’t want to make the drive/play. I assume both bands were beat down from the previous days activities in Austin. With the way bands tour these days, both will come back eventually.

Sound: I was extremely disappointed by the overall consistency of ‘good sound’ and ridiculous feedback ‘off and on’ the entire day.  Also, I do not know why they weren’t prepared for change overs. The attitude displayed between the soundman and The Coathangers and Young Widows was completely unprofessional and should not ever happen in a venue. Granted it’s humorous when the drummer and soundman arguing and talk shit to each other during the set, but for him to mute all of Young Widows sound and walk-out was just plain shitty.  I will have a different sound guy at my next shows at the Lounge. Sorry.

Final line-up:
Young Widows, My Disco, Thee Oh Sees, Women, Abe Vigoda, Pterodactyl, Ty Segall, The Coathangers, Vampire Hands, Sleepy Sun, The Fresh & Onlys, Howl, Juarez
