“Before the night was over, Mac crowd surfed, told funny stories in between songs using voice that sounded a little like Wolfman Jack, sang at least 15 songs..”

Panache is excited to announce a very special edition of the Bruise Cruise at SXSW this year. The agency will be teaming up with the Seaport Music Festival and Hot Burrito to present Milk Music, Fat Tony, The Blind Shake, and Outer Minds on a two hour cruise on Monday March 11. The boat sails from […]
“After a stellar self-titled debut in 2011, the Laguna Beach native is preparing for the release of his Merge debut, MCII, a thoughtfully arranged slab of shimmering, high-grade Californian power-pop that already sounds like one of the year’s finest outings.”
“In addition to making music, Quintron & Miss Pussycat are filmmakers as well, their most recent work is The Mystery in Old Bathbath, which is the latest adventure for puppet pals Trixie and the Treetrunks…”
“With a handful of bizarre music videos under his belt—including one in which he plays guitar in the woods dressed as Mozart—and a song written as a paean to Viceroy cigarettes [above], it’s apparent that while DeMarco may now opt to keep his clothes on, he certainly doesn’t take himself too seriously. While he’s not sure if he self-identifies as a slacker, he does know one thing: “I don’t want a job, and I think I’ve been trying my hardest to make sure I don’t have a job.””
“In addition to making music, Quintron & Miss Pussycat are filmmakers as well, their most recent work is The Mystery in Old Bathbath, which is the latest adventure for puppet pals Trixie and the Treetrunks…”
“The movie is phantasmagoric and there are surreal events and leaps as Trixie unearths the mysteries of Bathbath…”
Mikal Cronin, coming to a city near you!

“Last year, Tim Presley of White Fence joined psychedelic forces with Ty Segall for collaborative LP Hair on Drag City. Now White Fence returns with another album, Cyclops Reap, due out April 9 via Castle Face, the label run by John Dwyer of Thee Oh Sees…”
“…With 2, his second 2012 album on Captured Tracks, the eccentric crooner and multi-instrumentalist graduated from requisite Montreal lo-fi act to bona fide success story, touring constantly to deliver his slacker brand of homespun, effortlessly clever jangle pop…”
After releasing three records in 2012, Presley is hitting the ground running once again in 2013, with a new album called Cyclops Reap set to arrive on April 9 via Castleface.
“The Los Angeles-based one-man garage band known as White Fence has picked up some swell shine thanks to a recent album-length collaboration with … Ty Segall.”
“”Pink Gorilla” is a psychedelic garage pop tune with groovy riffs that will make you want to shake it.”
“Turn it up loud, especially for the crashing finale that closes this out in ways that would make your greying pops (or surly uncles) smile…”
“Today they’ve released the closing track from the forthcoming LP, “Minotaur,” which updates the band’s usual out-there fuzz-punk frenzy into a clearer mid-tempo garage-psych ballad. John Dwyer’s vocals sit front-and-center amidst a pervasive sense of darkness…”
“Opening with mournful but warm strings, the track soon graduates to an off-kilter upbeat swoon as John Dwyer sings of fading dreams backed by the gushing ahhs of Brigid Dawson…”
Panache is excited to welcome several new artists to our roster. Fuzz, Marnie Stern, Marissa Nadler, Coliseum, Homeboy Sandman, Barren Girls, & Black Pus are exciting additions. Many will be touring around new releases this spring/summer. Stay tuned for more details.
“Just yesterday, Phoenix announced a return to North America for a tour leading up to Coachella. Now, Mac DeMarco has been confirmed as the opener for a string of those dates in March and April– an extension of his continued touring in support of last year’s 2 and Rock and Roll Night Club EP…”
“Ty Segall and Ex-Cults played their second of two shows in NYC at Music Hall of Williamsburg on Saturday night (2/2), joined by Brooklyn wild childs K-Holes. Pictures from the show are in this post, including an on-stage collaboration between the touring partners. The pair also blessed Webster Hall on Friday with special guest Mac DeMarco (2/1, pictures)…”
Panache is pleased to announce that several acts on our roster will be playing at this year’s Austin Psych Festival held at Carson Creek Ranch on April 26-28, 2013. Quintron and Miss Pussycat, White Fence, VietNam, Black Bananas, Woodsman and Gary War will performing over the 3 days. Check out the entire lineup here. Tickets […]
“At a time of year when many of us would trade our mothers for a temperature above freezing, Mikal Cronin’s “Shout It Out” is an instant blast of summer, like drinking an ice cold beer at a bonfire or tossing a frisbee around in the sunlight…”
“‘Shout It Out,’ from Cronin’s May 7 album MCII — his second overall and first for Merge Records — is melodic, jangling, hand-clapping, #90-hashtagging indie rock; sure, there’s plenty of distortion, piss, and vinegar, but you don’t ever worry that Black Sabbath are about to bite off some poor critter’s head here.”
Mikal Cronin will release MCII, his Merge debut, on May 7 in the US and May 13 in UK/Europe. Recorded in late 2012 by Eric Bauer at Bauer Mansion in San Francisco, MCII includes guest appearances by K. Dylan Edrich, Charles Moothart, Ty Segall, and Petey Dammit.
“Since the first record came out, my life has changed quite a bit,” Cronin explains in a press release, referencing his move to San Francisco and his work alongside Segall. “I was presented with a whole new slew of problems and situations that I was trying to work through.”
“Plucking prolific musicians from both sides of the U.S./Canada border, the festival has announced it’s bringing Thee Oh Sees leader John Dwyer and homegrown electronic experimentalist Tim Hecker in as curators…”
“Call me a simpleton, but I much prefer Mac’s toothy grin, alcoholic antics, and raw funky riffs…”
“If Ty and his band weren’t such fierce performers, they may have been upstaged by the antics of Mac DeMarco and his band, whose onstage shenanigans (wacky voices, push-ups, covering Limp Bizkit) are becoming the stuff of legend.”
“Before the Webster Hall show, Mac Demarco played Pitchfork’s offices… He’ll be back for a show at Music Hall of Williamsburg on March 1 with Naomi Punk and Calvin Love and tickets (only ten bucks) are on sale now.”
“I saw Ty Segall I was lifting him into a crowd of people so he could surf along to the sounds of the Jesus and Mary Chain, he had a grin on his face and a air of “fuck it, let’s have fun” around him. When combined with his prodigious talent and seemingly tireless work rate, it’s easy to see why many are championing the California native as the next big thing…”
