On December 3, the garage rock gatekeepers will share the franchise’s second installment: a four-track platter documenting a recent set that SPIN cover star Ty Segall played with Fuzz at the SF Eagle.
It’s another blistering demonstration of Thee Oh Sees greatest trick: they’re the only prolific band who doesn’t put out records often enough.
Mac’s apologetic ode to his loved ones about such public behavior, shows that Mac DeMarco is still with us, coming along for the ride, getting everyone else in trouble. Even so, the maturation process of Mac DeMarco…
Ty Segall’s latest video accompanies “The Man Man” from Sleeper, his psychedelic, folk-leaning LP out this year via Drag City.
Thee Oh Sees kicked into a marathon set of hypnotic bass (played on a guitar, of course, by the tireless Petey Dammit), ghostly falsettos, pummeling drums, and spooky keyboard dispatches.
His new video for the album track “The Man Man” would’ve been perfect for Halloween, but it’s still pretty badass a few days later. In the LEAF-directed video, a quartet of terrifying monster-masked gunmen stalk Segall through a dark street.
Halloween may be over, but the nightmare’s just begun for Ty Segall in his video for the Sleeper standout “The Man Man”.
Canadian indie rocker Mac DeMarco, Iceland-based soul-pop quartet Moses Hightower, Iceland-based electronic artist Kira Kira…
New Orleans’ Quintron and Miss Pussycat have made the personal touch their calling card. She makes puppets for surreal, onstage puppet shows — such as the one involving Christmas Bear and a goblin cake that she performed last night.
We’ve teamed up with our favorite fest again this year to present a FFF Nites show this Friday night (11/8) at the North Door in East Austin, starring Mac DeMarco, Quasi + more. As always, the Nites are free; check the full FFF Nites lineup here.
So, a word to the wise. Check out Mac DeMarco at Fun Fun Fun Fest. He will be killing it. I mean, quite literally, murdering it, so watch out and stay safe out there, guys.
Maybe it was the death of Lou Reed, who John Dwyer dedicated their set to, and the weird energy that brought, and the location certainly was condusive, but Thee Oh Sees were absolutely on fire Sunday night.
And Bay Area psych weirdo White Fence has turned in a jangly, flowery cover of “Today’s Lesson,” a 1991 banger from the crustcore band Filth. The White Fence version does not sound anything like the Filth one, and you can hear it below.
For now, Mac’s plan is working. Being a successful pop musician is only partly about music; it is also about developing a marketable personality and pushing that personality to the limit.
On record, it often sounds as if John Peel is reaching out from beyond the grave to play Mac DeMarco’s entire career at the wrong speed
Ty Segall is playing a one-off show on December 2nd at London’s Scala, performing his new album Sleeper that was released back in August via Drag City.
Prolific, garage-favouring jam band Thee Oh Sees are compiling yet another batch of their non-album tracks for a third Singles Collection. This latest edition arrives November 26 via band leader John Dwyer’s Castle Face Records imprint.
Jonathan Richman is Mac Demarco’s role model as “it seems like he’s just had a very enjoyable time his whole life”. Judging by his Scala show, Mac doesn’t seem to be struggling to replicate this lifestyle.
It’s probably too early to declare DeMarco one of a kind, but there’s more to him than the joking around.
When you say it’s “‘too loud,” that’s really code for, “This music sucks!” Dinosaur Jr. can never be too loud, for example. And wait till you hear Fuzz!
Thanks to everyone who came out to our Panache CMJ Events this year! We had a blast! It was another successful crazy week in Ny. Congratulations to Jacco Gardner & Arp for landing a review in the NY Times and to Speedy Ortiz for being named one of Rolling Stone Magazine’s best discoveries. Thanks to […]

…The Bay Brewed, returns to Public Works for a third year of great music and beer. We’re now pleased to announce the festival’s lineup six amazing local rock bands, led by Mikal Cronin and Shannon and the Clams.
Rarely does a band live up to its name so perfectly, as the trio churns out heavy slabs of psychedelia, which should reverberate nicely off the walls of the echo chamber that is Logan Square Auditorium.
Three songs illustrate the blend of psychedelia, pop sensibility and irreverent humour that underpins King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard’s latest record, Float Along – Fill Your Lungs.
This week on Respect the Rock, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard’s Stu Mackenzie and Eric Moore joined Nicole TadPole in the studio for a chat.
Mac Demarco is something of a rare, but rough, diamond. As we photograph him in a London off license, he places his cigarette between his trademark gappy teeth…
Anyway, Segall is back in town tomorrow and this time he’s playing Logan Square Auditorium with his new band, Fuzz. The trio’s brand-new self-titled debut is packed with heavy rock burners…
US garage-pop rocker Mikal Cronin has shared the dates for this debut Australian tour next month.
I have said it before, but will keep saying it until we are ALL in agreement: Thee Oh Sees are one of the best, if not thee best, live acts playing today.
