Earlier in May, Ty Segall’s new garage-punk project GØGGS (Segall, Ex-Cult’s Chris Shaw, and Fuzz member Charles Moothart) released an explosive single called “Glendale Junkyard,” along with the news of a debut self-titled LP coming a few months later.
Late last month, Ty Segall released a nightmarish music video for “Candy Sam”, a highlight taken from his latest solo album Emotional Mugger. That’s not the only project the prolific rocker and multi-tasking master has been promoting, though.
Ty Segall recently added GØGGS to his long list of musical projects. Comprised of Segall, Ex-Cult’s Chris Shaw and Charles Moothart of Fuzz, GØGGS swims in the garage punk rock pond.
Ty Segal, Ex-Cult’s Chris Shaw and Charles Moothart of Fuzz today share new single “Needle Trade Off” ahead of the self-titled debut from their new band GØGGS, out July 1st on In The Red Records.
No one can quite agree on what a song of the summer actually is. Technically, the song of the summer is the most commercially successful track between the months of June and September.
You have to love when a band has nothing new to promote but plays a show for the fuck of it. And you have to love when that band brings along their friends’ bands who also kick ass.
After following up their proper U.S. debut at New York City’s CMJ music marathon in 2014 with a two-album effort the following year, Australian psych rockers King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard returned last month with Nonagon Infinity, a fuzzed-out explosion that serves as almost the exact opposite of last year’s all-acoustic Paper Mâché Dream […]
Ty Segall’s new “Candy Sam” music video continues the rock weirdo’s recent string of baby mask-wearing appearances, because why not stick with a schtick when it’s obviously working?
Throughout Mac DeMarco’s 90-minute set at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles last night, the video screens blended performance footage of DeMarco and his three-piece band with images of Kelsey Grammer as the X-Men character Beast.
On a very rare occasion, you may come across an album that you wish would never end. King Gizzard and the Wizard Lizard accomplished exactly that with April’s “Nonagon Infinity.”
At one of the first shows on Mac DeMarco’s current tour, a couch is set up onstage at Webster Hall to accommodate his friends (including a man in a bondage mask), and DeMarco pours out several glasses of champagne.
“Sometimes when you’re playing a lil’ nasty rock gig, you gotta get a lil’ nasty,” said Mac DeMarco as he popped a bottle of champagne on stage during his Sunday night performance in New York City.
Mac Demarco played at the Electric Factory in Philadelphia on May 12 and along with all his quirkiness, the man courageously offered some old school punk in the way of jumping from the second floor balcony.
Signs posted on all the entrances at Cambridge nightclub the Sinclair on Friday night left no room for misinterpretation: “No moshing / No crowdsurfing.”
Ty Segall rocks out often and makes a point of doing so, but he rarely bleeds over into straight-ahead punk, which is where his new band’s fuzz-monster single comes in.
Many artists have paid tribute to late icon Prince in recent weeks by covering his songs. Last month, Mac DeMarco teased a cover of “It’s Gonna Be Lonely” from Prince’s self-titled 1979 album.
arage rocker, Ty Segall is moving on from Emotional Mugger to release another album this year, with GØGGS, a trio featuring he and Fuzz bandmate Charles Moothart, with Ex-Cult’s Chris Shaw fronting the band.
Besides being a killer garage rock album, Nonagon Infinity is constructed as an infinite loop, meaning its final notes connect perfectly with the album’s opening.
