Mac DeMarco made a quick appearance on Adult Swim’s The Eric Andre Show earlier this week. Everything starts off normally enough with DeMarco playing 2 track “Still Together,” but things take a weird turn when the host stops everything and announces that it’s time to “Attack DeMarco” and a bunch of samurai come out to hit the singer with sticks and try to choke him.
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard is a wholly suitable name for this seven-piece Australian psychedelic outfit, who metaphorically throw DayGlo paint at the studio walls without regard for taste – blues harmonica, double drummers, flute, beaty pop, heavily treated vocals – and see what emerges.
This Polaris Prize-nominated record largely continues the breezy and easy vibe of 2012’s 2, but with a touch more sophistication and nuance, yielding some of his best songs yet, including the gorgeously grooving “Brother.” DeMarco shows off an impressive evolution here, but without shedding any of his previous releases’ scruffy charm. Salad Days goes down easier than an ice-cold PBR.
Ty Segall is shifting gears from hyper-productive psychedelic prodigy to all-growed-up glam-rock guitar god.
Standout Track: “The Faker”
Standout track: “Passing Out Pieces”
You can never be fully prepared for an interview with Mac DeMarco, the gap-toothed, camo-overall-wearing Canadian teen indie-heartthrob loverboy.
Big, dirty riffs are on the menu Friday night as Thee Oh Sees explore their 2014 album “Drop” at Warsaw.
Thee Oh Sees are in town for two announced NYC shows with Los Angeles’ Jack Name: Bowery Ballroom tonight (11/18) and Warsaw on Friday (11/21).
Here is a collection dating from 2011-2013 of asides from behind the scenes dating from 2011-2013, Goodbye Bread – Twins – Sleeper era, with some b-sides from singles ‘I Can’t Feel It’, ‘The Hill’ and ‘Would You Be My Love’, and some covers, including the Velvets’ ‘Femme Fatale’.
Castle Face is back with the fourth installment of the label’s Live in San Francisco series, featuring Ty Segall Band’s February 2014 performance at Rickshaw Stop.
$INGLE$ 2 feels, if anything, like a companion to 2011’s Goodbye Bread: fuzzy, sometimes grimy and with riffs that chug along at the perfect speed to be chilled but not lulling. It’s a sweet spot that Segall has hit so well that it makes even a collection of B-sides a decent album.
Ty Segall waves goodbye to Death By Audio.
Quintron & Miss Pussycat will be at Café Nine (250 State St., New Haven; 203-789-8281, cafenine.com) Nov. 24 for a 9 p.m. show that — besides all those special guest puppets — also features Chad Raines’ kitschy pop act The Simple Pleasure and the DJ known as If Jesus Had Machine Guns.
Such is the incredible output of San Fran garage-punk type Ty Segall that us Clash sorts have often wondered if his catalogue is actually the work of several Tys. We sent photographer Rachel Lipsitz to his sold-out Electric Ballroom show to get us some hard evidence.
Segall and his band attack these garage-psych nuggets with wild glee, joyriding them like stolen cars.
On Tuesday night at the Fillmore, Mac unveiled his spectrum of tricks to a sold-out crowd that ping-ponged his feisty energy.
Another psychedelic throwback – this one, like so many others, from Australia – and I’m starting to wonder what sustains them. Save for The Flaming Lips, when was the last time you heard this type of music on even some tiny, low wattage underground radio?
Ty Segall continues his reign as garage rock’s most prolific artist. Even with two albums under his belt this year (Manipulator and the recently announced $ingle$ 2 compilation), he’s gearing up to release another: On January 26th, he’ll put out Live in San Francisco under his Ty Segall Band moniker.
Ty Segall’s most recent output has been released under his standalone moniker— Manipulator and $ingle$ 2 are solo affairs. Soon, however, he’ll release another record from the wrecking crew responsible for Slaughterhouse: the Ty Segall Band (the team of Segall, Mikal Cronin, Emily Rose Epstein, and Charles Moothart). Their Live in San Francisco LP is out January 26.
Segall’s next release will come to us from the Ty Segall Band—the band who unapologetically brought us Slaughterhouse in 2012 (Segall, Mikal Cronin, Emily Rose Epstein, and Charles Moothart). Live in San Francisco was recorded at San Francisco’s Rickshaw Stop venue on February 25th.
Psychedelic garage rocker Ty Segall has shared a nugget from his upcoming live album, Live in San Francisco. The song comes from Segall’s 2012 album, Slaughterhouse, and features the same backing band: Emily Rose Epstein on drums, Charles Moothart on guitar, and Mikal Cronin on bass.
The Ty Segall Band, which sees our boy working with Mikal Cronin, Emily Rose Epstein and Chares Moothart, will release Live in San Francisco early next year.
It’s not many musicians who can make you dance with energy while taking you to laid-back summer days of listening to him through speakers in a friend’s backyard.
The seven members of Australia’s prolific King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard have cultivated a dimension of sound that swerves and swirls with an arrangement of drums, guitar, and theremin. On November 11, the band released their fifth album in under three years, I’m In Your Mind Fuzz.
Ezra Furman possesses an increasingly rare quality that eludes most musicians: the ability to exploit a multi-faceted persona, reinventing and adapting from one record to the next. Day of the Dog was released late last year to rave reviews.
Tickets to Mac DeMarco‘s Laneway Festival 2015 sideshows have already begun to fly out the door, with his first Melbourne show already sold out. Victorian fans needn’t worry though, as DeMarco has just announced a second sideshow in the city.
DeMarco, the consummate performer, hits the iconic SF venue tonight with LA psych rocker Chris Cohen.
