‘The songs blasted by in a blur, but Hanna reminded us that “Suck My Left One” is about her 13 year old sister getting harassed by older men. A Bikini Kill show is a lively, fun punk rock gig, but the messages are as important as ever. There’s still work to do. Smash the patriarchy.’
“…Fanatic! Another week, another great show. We have more from the new Meatbodies album as well as more new Ty Segall. Also, new music from our sonic allies Zig Zags starts off our second hour…”
Onstage at the Teragram Ballroom for the first of two sold-out shows, Ty Segall’s new band The Muggers builds up to a furious crescendo for the instrumental bridge to “Feel” from his 2014 album, Manipulator. As they play, Segall bolts off the stage.
To get into Ty Segall’s sold-out show at the Teragram on Friday night, you had to fight your way past a line of David Bowie fans snaking down 7th Street from the nearby Monty Bar, where one of about a zillion Bowie tributes was taking place. It was hard not to read some fitting symbolism into this.
“the Ty Segall-fronted (or backed, since he sings from behind the drum kit) project has gained a new bassist: Chad Ubovich, mastermind behind one of our favorite groups to emerge out of the local scene in 2014, Meatbodies. And when it came time to write their forthcoming LP, Fuzz II, out Oct. 23 on In The Red, the group took a stab at a songwriting process that was foreign to each of them, resulting in a much darker, doomier and, as Ubovich notes, “way more evil” sound…”
There is a new Ty Segall/King Tuff split live album called Live at Pickathon, Vol. 2. It’s on Easy Sound. The pre-order copies are all gone but it will be released for all to dig on May 4. This is LP only.
Now he’s announced the release of the Mr. Face EP, a double 7″ that comes as a pair of the world’s first playable 3D glasses.
Ty’s new one is excellent and since it’s a double album, I thought we would play three tracks. You can check the listing below and see what we’re getting up to…
Redd Kross and Mikal Cronin performed at The El Rey Theatre on Tuesday night. Cherry Glazerr opened the show.
…garage-punk roundup that also features Destruction Unit (with former members of The Reatards), L.A. combo The Intelligence, Fuzz (with Ty Segall)…
“Given the maturity and insight of White Fence’s previous releases and his collaborations with it-boy Ty Segall, it shouldn’t shock anyone that the act’s newest record, Cyclops Reap, is quite brilliant…”
LA Weekly interviews Mikal Cronin.
