King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard continue their celebratory week of announcements with the revelation of details for the Brisbane iteration of the band’s multi-stage event GIZZFEST following Sydney’s turn yesterday.

Ezra Furman is sharing his new video for recent single “Restless Year” now on Best Fit featuring nifty editing, stop-motion action and more costume changes than a Madonna concert, Furman creates a quirky, jerky clip to accompany his abrupt garage-rock smash.
Canadian wiseass Mac DeMarco isn’t someone you’ll catch too often on the late night TV circuit, but Conan O’Brien was lucky enough to snag him for a rare performance last night (March 30).
Mac DeMarco was the musical guest on “Conan” last night. (It was a rare late night TV appearance for DeMarco, aside from that time he got assaulted on “The Eric André Show”.) Watch him perform the Salad Days track “Let Her Go” below.
The video, which was posted today (March 27) on the official Field Day YouTube channel, shows the Canadian indie rock singer-songwriter in overalls and cokebottle glasses bearing an uncanny resemblance to the Bubbles character from the Canadian TV series Trailer Park Boys.
The pushy riff and swell of feedback are so damn certain sounding that they serve as a recognizable heads-up for the breakneck fervor to come, like a trigger warning for the rock ‘n’ roll weary, or something.
The new album, which is due out on Friday, 1 May, through Flightless/Remote Records, is already shaping up to be rather an epic-sounding progress, with the band revealing that the album will contain only four tracks — but that each will clock in with a running time of 10 minutes and 10 seconds.
The 405’s Hollie Fernando hung out with Mikal Cronin for a special Record Shopping feature. Mikal Cronin’s forthcoming album, MCIII, is out on May 4th via Merge Records.
Panache is very excited to announce that Mac DeMarco will be performing at Outside Lands in SF this summer. Full line up can be found here.
The single edit of ‘God Is in the Rhythm’ clocks in under four minutes but the full 10 minute album version will make up a quarter of the record.
Ty Segall and King Tuff have both made a name for themselves with their rowdy, infectious garage rock, and now they’re teaming up for a split record. Live at Pickathon will be released on May 4 through Welk Music Group.
Laura Marling and Mac DeMarco are among the acts who have been added to the line-up for this year’s End Of The Road.
Mikal Cronin will release his third album, MCIII, later this year. We’ve already heard the explosive lead single “Made My Mind Up,” and now he’s shared “ii) Gold.” It’s a cut from the second half of the record, which acts as a concept album about the time he spent feeling alone after moving up to the Pacific Northwest to go to school.
Multi-musical and genre-hopping Mikal Cronin’s self-titled debut was a hit amongst pop-rockers and rockers alike, and after releasing the follow-up, MCII, it seemed the logic behind the titles were fitting. Now with only two months until the release of his third (it’s out May 4th on Merge), logically titled MCIII, it seems there is more than meets the eye for the third installment.
‘II Gold’ is the latest song to be lifted from the record, blending Cronin’s signature melody knowhow with flooring levels of reverb.
Multi-musical and genre-hopping Mikal Cronin’s self-titled debut was a hit amongst pop-rockers and rockers alike.
San Francisco garage rocker Mikal Cronin returns with his new record, MCIII, on May 5th via Merge Records. Today, he’s shared a first listen at this mini album within an album in the form of “ii) Gold”.
“ii) Gold” is part of a six-song cycle that inhabits Side 2 of the album. It’s got a soaring chorus, a breakdown featuring Mikal on traditional Greek instrument the tzouras, as well as a let-it-all-hang-out finish.
Mikal Cronin covers the latest issue of L.A. Record for their special SXSW/Coachella issue.
Thee Oh Sees just released Drop last year, and today, they’ve announced their new one. Mutilator Defeated At Last is out May 18 via Castle Face. The band’s lineup on the new album is John Dwyer, Tim Hellman, Nick Murray, Chris Woodhouse, and Brigid Dawson. Woodhouse recorded and mixed the record; it was mastered by John Golden.
Ezra Furman will be releasing his sixth album on Bella Union this summer. His last album Day of the Dog was the crystallisation of four cult albums and a lot of touring to half empty rooms, but after extensive coverage on BBC6, people have started to take note.
Wilco announced the lineup for their Solid Sound Festival today, and this year, they’ll be joined by SPIN’s 2014 Band of the Year Parquet Courts, Real Estate, and Mac DeMarco.
Ezra Furman has announced his signing to London’s Bella Union, with plans to release his label debut later this summer. As a first listen to the Day of the Dog follow-up, he’s served up lead single “Restless Year”. Much like Furman himself, the track is a ball of energy, bouncing around genre borders with glee.
