Ty Segall continues his reign as garage rock’s most prolific artist. Even with two albums under his belt this year (Manipulator and the recently announced $ingle$ 2 compilation), he’s gearing up to release another: On January 26th, he’ll put out Live in San Francisco under his Ty Segall Band moniker.
Ty Segall’s most recent output has been released under his standalone moniker— Manipulator and $ingle$ 2 are solo affairs. Soon, however, he’ll release another record from the wrecking crew responsible for Slaughterhouse: the Ty Segall Band (the team of Segall, Mikal Cronin, Emily Rose Epstein, and Charles Moothart). Their Live in San Francisco LP is out January 26.
Segall’s next release will come to us from the Ty Segall Band—the band who unapologetically brought us Slaughterhouse in 2012 (Segall, Mikal Cronin, Emily Rose Epstein, and Charles Moothart). Live in San Francisco was recorded at San Francisco’s Rickshaw Stop venue on February 25th.
Psychedelic garage rocker Ty Segall has shared a nugget from his upcoming live album, Live in San Francisco. The song comes from Segall’s 2012 album, Slaughterhouse, and features the same backing band: Emily Rose Epstein on drums, Charles Moothart on guitar, and Mikal Cronin on bass.
The Ty Segall Band, which sees our boy working with Mikal Cronin, Emily Rose Epstein and Chares Moothart, will release Live in San Francisco early next year.
It’s not many musicians who can make you dance with energy while taking you to laid-back summer days of listening to him through speakers in a friend’s backyard.
The seven members of Australia’s prolific King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard have cultivated a dimension of sound that swerves and swirls with an arrangement of drums, guitar, and theremin. On November 11, the band released their fifth album in under three years, I’m In Your Mind Fuzz.
Ezra Furman possesses an increasingly rare quality that eludes most musicians: the ability to exploit a multi-faceted persona, reinventing and adapting from one record to the next. Day of the Dog was released late last year to rave reviews.
Tickets to Mac DeMarco‘s Laneway Festival 2015 sideshows have already begun to fly out the door, with his first Melbourne show already sold out. Victorian fans needn’t worry though, as DeMarco has just announced a second sideshow in the city.
DeMarco, the consummate performer, hits the iconic SF venue tonight with LA psych rocker Chris Cohen.
Now working as a power trio, Dwyer along with bassist Timothy Hellman and drummer Nick Murray stopped at the Gothic Theatre on the second date of their fall tour to serve up a quick, high energy set of jagged yet groovy garage rock.
Ty Segall will release his new compilation called $ingle$ 2 on November 18 via Drag City. It is the sequel to the 2010 cassette release and is full of the loose tracks he recorded between the years 2011 and 2013—the Goodbye Bread, Twins, and Sleeper years. In the compilation, he also covers the Velvets, GG Allin, and the Groundhogs.
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard were a bevy of noises, with two drummers, a harmonica and synth player and at times, two bassists. Their set was loud, rhythmic and full of raw energy. The band took no breaks between songs, preferring to segue in lengthy psychedelic jams.
The ultra-prolific garage rocker couldn’t stick at just the one release this year, and he’s just announced that a new collection, $INGLE$ 2, will be out on November 17.
Combining VU riffs, acid-washed AM ’70s rock and a touch of The dB’s pop, his plaintive lyrics are at odds with his ‘Dude, Where’s My Career?’ persona. Could DeMarco be Paul Westerberg and Bob Stinson at the same time?
For those garage heads who yearn for the years before Ty moved to L.A. with its fame and high-pressure jacuzzi jets, this is the album for you. It’s pure San Francisco Ty, it’s Dolores Park Ty with a neon hula-hoop, Fisherman’s Wharf clam chowder bread-bowl Ty.
Due out November 18th via Drag City, $ingle$ 2 collects 12 “now-out-of-print sides” recorded between 2011 and 2013. That includes originals like “Spiders”, “The Hill,” and “Would You Be My Love”, alongside covers of The Velvet Underground (a total rework of “Femme Fatale”), GG Allin, and The Groundhogs.
Earlier this year, Ty Segall released Manipulator, a massive, 17-track album that has received great acclaim. Segall has announced $INGLE$ 2, a compilation album of loose tracks he recorded between 2011 and 2013.
$ingle$ 2 covers the years 2011 through 2013, bringing together no-longer-in-print singles that, according to a press release, add up to a cohesive album. This was the era when the songwriter released the albums Goodbye Bread, Twins and Sleeper, plus the Ty Segall Band LP Slaughterhouse and the White Fence team-up Hair.
Manipulator delivers generous distortion and the idiosyncratic, quirky sound that has become the defining characteristic of his music. A particularly singular record, Manipulator continues to showcase Segall’s eclectic rock taste, drawing its sound from psychedelia, glam, punk, noise and most of all, garage rock.
The mellowed-out muso will play two extra dates at Sydney’s Metro Theatre and at The Hi-Fi in Melbourne during the last week of January and first week of February. DeMarco is coming to Aus with a special visitor for his Laneway appearances — his mum Agnes, who will emcee the festival.
Opens with the most electrifying combination of songs the band have concocted to date.
The Magnificent Seven are doing so well that their record will get some prominent worldwide coverage this Monday. Can’t say too much but exciting times.
The acclaimed seven-piece will celebrate their latest album, I’m In Your Mind Fuzz, out today, with five shows in Melbourne, Sydney, Perth and Fremantle. The band will be joined by labelmates The Babe Rainbow at each of the gigs and tickets are on sale now.
The final run of King Gizz shows for 2014 begin with a hometown show before the gang heads up to Sydney for a pair of shows and then across to Western Australia for gigs in Perth and Fremantle.
It’s one of the most compelling things they’ve put to tape thus far and they slay it live. If you like your home furnished with paintings of Looney Tunes as interpreted by an un-dead Carl Sagan on peyote, look no further.
“Before He Met Her (Decomposing Lime)” is a brand new track from former city denizen Tim Presley’s White Fence that dropped just yesterday. It’s a tripped out rock anthem reminiscent of Sgt. Pepper’s-era Beatles.
What’s getting you to Voodoo this year? Friday’s Outkast-Slayer-Melvis matchup? Saturday with Ms. Lauryn Hill, Benjamin Booker and Skrillex? Sunday brings hometown favorites Quintron and Miss Pussycat and recent converts Foo Fighters.
This week, mad scientist musician Quintron and his puppeteer partner Miss Pussycat released Spellcaster II: Death in Space. He and Miss Pussycat go all out for their annual Halloween show at One Eyed Jacks.
Mac DeMarco’s strong vocals were in full throttle last night as he performed a rare solo show at the Foellinger Auditorium. Without any additional instrumental backing, DeMarco held together a beautiful, raw set for the couple hundred audience members that spread out through the main floor and balcony.
