LA Weekly interviews Mikal Cronin.
As many of you may already know, a dear friend of Panache’s and one of our Artists, DJ Mr. Jonathan Toubin was in a serious accident on Dec 8, 2011 in Portland OR when an automobile crashed into his ground floor hotel room. We are deeply saddened by this truly awful incident and are asking family, friends, loved ones, colleagues to bond together to bring love and support to Jonathan Toubin for his recovery. Jonathan is one of the most talented, genuine and sweet people we have had the pleasure of working with. The amazing international outpour of support thus far is a huge reflection of this. If interested in organizing or performing at a benefit, please email rockfortoubin@gmail.com. Donations/messages can be sent via paypal to the address Ihearttoubin@gmail.com We will be providing a link to a site where you can get the most recent updates on his condition soon.

Describing the experience of a Thee Oh Sees show is an exercise in futility, like trying to explain the vastness of the Grand Canyon to someone who has only seen it in pictures.
Propulsive, careening, and at times, openly dangerous, Thee Oh Sees are like the house band for a runaway train.
Fun Fun Fun Festival is happening this weekend from November 4-6 at Auditorium Shores in Austin, Texas. We are thrilled to have Thee Oh Sees, Ty Segall, and Pujol performing. It is one of our favorite events to host bands at, and this year is sure to be a blast. Bruise Cruise will also be hosting a booth in the vendors area. Come say hi and pick up some free Bruiser merch!
Mikal Cronin: Making Sense Of It All
Every year always proves to be better than the last, and CMJ 2011 definitely gave our artists an opportunity to shine. A successful week ended with the wild & raucous Panache & Bruise Cruise showcase at Public Assembly featuring a photo booth, projections, and positive vibes. Congratulations to Bleached, White Fence, and Pujol for landing features in the NY Times, NPR, Pitchfork, Billboard, Spin, and Rolling Stone. Check out the photo to the left of PUJOL from this past week in the NY Times. Other highlights featured below!

Playing with two acts on the better side of the rock ‘n’ roll spectrum paid dividends for him in a couple ways. First, he knows his way around a melody. And second, it gives him access to Segall, Charlie Moonheart, even John Dwyer.
The title track from Goodbye Bread could be a sleeper anthem for the legions of disenfranchised, underemployed young adults who, as new census figures reveal, are among the hardest-hit by the recession.
On his eponymous debut, Mikal Cronin proves he can hold his own.
It’s a very intimate recording, full of sounds they wisely never tried to recreate again, and vocal takes that are often inflected with a heart-crushing vulnerability.
The Raincoats Announce Reissue and Tour
Goodbye Bread is filled with such rich, breathtaking moments, and Segall, who plays every instrument here, sounds as though he’s savoring every part of his process.
An album that unfolds almost imperceptibly.
San Francisco’s Thee Oh Sees have morphed from a showcase for skronk-savant John Dwyer’s sensitive side into the hardest working band in garage-rock.

Panache is very excited to announce that Anika will make her U.S. debut tour in February. She has recently been making waves with her self-titled LP released on the Stones Throw imprint. Anika makes her debut
with a string of DJ appearances in Los Angeles and NYC, but expect big things for later this year,
as she is expected to return with the full band, containing members of the famed Beak> outfit, whom
share the same production backing of Portishead’s Geoff Barrow. Look out for some specials performances
in the year to come! See all U.S. dates below:
If you’re anywhere near New York right now you’re probably dealing with the same blizzard we are. And if you’re anything like us, you’re going to want to hole up in your apartment drinking coffee and listening to psychedelic music until this thing blows over. Lucky for you, Tim Presley is here to guide you through the squall.
