These are difficult times to think of any musician not born David Robert Jones. The legacy of Davie Bowie is so vast and so influential, that any thoughts of other artists inevitably flow back to the iconic musician who passed away on January 10
Panache is excited to announce that Mac DeMarco, Ty Segall, La Luz and King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard will be performing at Sasquatch Festival this year. Full lineup available here. Can’t wait to attend. See you there!
Barreling on after a non-stop flurry of activity over the past eight years, Ty Segall is dropping his 10th solo album in the dead of winter, its cover depicting a Xeroxed baby head as it peers out of the fold amid a field of toner-black gradients.
Guys love Ty Segall in a very emotional way. Could it be said that Ty Segall is to dudes as Madonna is to women? No one has ever really said that before, but I just did.
Wolf Alice, Yeasayer, Bully, Speedy Ortiz, Mac DeMarco and Savages also appear at the 15th edition of the festival, along with Purity Ring, Oscar, Shamir, and Unknown Mortal Orchestra. The festival takes place over Memorial Day Weekend (27th-30th May) at the Gorge Amphitheater, Quincy, Washington (USA).
Ty Segall changes his M.O. every time he releases a new album, going from acoustic rock to noisy garage sounds, and from wildly heavy psychedelia to a more glam-inspired sound. His new record seems to find him going back to a reliably loud and hard-rocking sound, so prepare to get wild.
Indie rock goof-ass Mac DeMarco will support Tame Impala at their inaugural Red Rocks headliner. (The band opened alongside Janelle Monae for MGMT at the venue in 2010.)
With everyone always so distracted by the prolificness of Ty Segall, it seems that sometimes he doesn’t get enough credit for the sheer quality of his work.
The Smell turned 18 and had two extraordinary parties! The second night had someone who usually plays with every good musician in town. But on this particular evening, Ty Segall was a one man band.
Off the back of a raucous Sydney show this week that we named perhaps the best show of 2016, Canadian Mac Demarco and a bunch of his ragtag mates have planned a mammoth Perth show in lieu of the cancelled Southbound Festival, due to WA’s raging bushfires.
Ezra Furman is a transformative performer. The last time I saw him wield a guitar was in February 2013 at a San Francisco acoustic Sofar Session. He was reticent, solo, and jarringly genuine. He was also dressed as a man in corduroy slacks. This was when he was on the verge of giving up as a touring musician, as he recently admitted in an interview with The Bay Bridged.
When Ty Segall takes the stage at the Fillmore for his upcoming two-night stint, there’s little doubt he’ll be feeling pretty proud about headlining a venue where any number of early 1970s rock ’n’ rollers performed.
Secret shows” are not a rare thing in LA. Ty Segall seems to have one every few months. Previously, Segall had been booking the secret, Monday shows at the Griffin with Jason Finazzo of The Birth Defects. Last night I had the pleasure of attending a secret show with Ty Segall and his new band, The Muggers.
New album from the Laguna Beach, Calif., psych-garage rocker was announced with a VHS tape he sent to Pitchfork. He has also set up a hotline at 1-800-281-2968 with a brief, weird personal messag
Welcome once again to the Pitchfork Guide to Upcoming Releases, our seasonal guide to new music. Four times a year, we round up a list of albums, singles, EPs, reissues, and more arriving over the coming months. This installment covers winter 2016.
Okay, I know this is a little bit of a cop out because everybody loves Mac so much it’s almost disgusting. But, Another One is truly so good.
To those for whom simply owning a vinyl copy of one album or another is not enough, the eternally vintage-scoped Ty Segall teamed up with Famous Class Records for a collector’s treasure. Outside of the music itself, the Mr. Face EP comes with 3D glasses within the gatefold, the better with which to view the album’s trippy, mirror-reflection photography on another dimension, man!
The Canadian artist quietly released his own version of Irving Berlin and Bing Crosby’s Chirstmas standard, titled ‘White Chirstma$’, on Boxing Day, writing “Twas the season” in a caption accompanying the video. The artwork for the track is a photo of Star Wars character Jar Jar Binks wearing a Santa hat.
Based on previous albums, this will likely be a rock-solid set of heavy, catchy power pop.
2015 was a quiet year for Ty Segall, but only by hyper-prolific Ty Segall standards. This year his band Fuzz released “II,” Ty Segall Band released a live album and he released a compilation of T-Rex covers, “Ty-Rex.”
A frenzy of poppy synths, rackety percussion and a throbbing bassline, this song effectively blends Furman’s visceral indie rock roots with his newer, glossier throwback sound.
Ezra Furman really seems to speak to depressed people. As you all learned last year, my mom died in the summer of 2014. I was fine…for a while. The loss wasn’t sudden — it didn’t put me in bed for months on end or convince me to stop eating. It just left me feeling kinda “…What now?”
2015 was another big year over here at the Horseshack. Across the seven choice studios, across the world, that we invite the best musicians in the world to, we recorded and posted just under 1000 new sessions. We are happy to present the 100 sessions that stood out most from the crowd, for whatever reason.
Today’s Song of the Day is “Bone” by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. Their album, Paper Mache Dream Balloon, is out now.
‘Perpetual Motion People’ had already been cemented as my favourite album of 2015 by the time Ezra Furman turned in the live performance of the year at his Bristol show back in November.
We’re not sure how most music publications can cap their Albums of the Year lists at 50, there are too many worthy albums most years to leave it at that.
The ever-prolific Thee Oh Sees are set to release a new 7-inch single on February 12th. Coming through mastermind John Dwyer’s own Castle Face label, the single’s A-side, “Fortress”, has just been revealed.
Happy holidays from Panache! Thanks to all the great folks who have been so supportive of all of our wonderful bands. It’s been an amazing year. Can’t wait for 2016! Here are some photos from our Panache Holiday Photo Booth at Our Wicked Lady in Brooklyn. It was a FANTASTIC night filled with amazing positive […]
Joanna Newsom, who’s much loved album Divers was met with much critical acclaim, moved down one spot to No. 3 from No. 2 while Neon Indian remained at No. 4. Fuzz remained at No. 7 for the third consecutive week. Givers entered the top 10 from No. 17 to No. 9, and Ty Segall moved from No. 25 to No. 10.
This garage-psych band from the land down under sure does freak me out. Expecting more of the ragingly unkempt sonic shout-outs that shone like a veritable watermark on some of their earlier work (notably 2014’s Oddments and this year’s Quarters!) I was surprised by what amounts to self-restraint on their seventh full length effort, Paper Mâché Dream Balloon.
