Congratulations to Ty Segall for a very wild and psychedelic television appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman on Monday Nov 5, the eve of election day. The band stopped through New York to appear on the Late Show before beginning their month long European Tour. They will be back through NY on Friday […]
Ty Segall performs “You’re The Doctor” in his second-ever late-night appearance. “The performance included some serious headbanging, and Segall pressing his guitar against his amplifier for a little extra feedback. Letterman seemed amused by the display, saying afterward, ‘Remember kids, don’t neglect your studies.'”
“When’s the last time you were serenaded on a row boat in the middle of Central Park?”
Panache is pleased to announce several of our artists will be in Austin this weekend for one of our favorite festivals, FUN FUN FUN. No Means No, Bleached, and Vockah Redu will all be performing at the festival during the day, while Imperial Teen, Dirty Ghosts, Violent Bullshit, The Blind Shake, Bleached and Vockah Redu […]
“Lo-Fi, sardonic, and hep, Captured Track’s new self-proclaimed “puss” from Montreal gives us his smokey take on what he endearingly calls jizz-jazz fit with a tribute to his favorite floor-tobacco brand, Viceroy.”
When the then 21-year old Mac DeMarco released his debut Rock and Roll Night Club 12″ just a short while ago in the Spring of 2012, it was accompanied by a barrage of bizarrely funny promo videos, wildly unhinged live performances and a not-so-subtle disparate range of promo photos. Now, all of six months later, […]
Pitchfork gives Mac Demarco’s second album on Captured Tracks “2” Best New Music.
Panache would love to send out a big THANK YOU to everyone who attended all of our CMJ events. All five of our parties were a huge success and we loved wrapping up the weekend with an amazingly packed sold out Soul Clap & Dance Off at Brooklyn Bowl. There was a ton of great […]

“When I was a kid, records were my religion, the glue that brought together like-minded people, people who feel that connection with something. To me, that is God. That is all religions, that is everything. Ozzy Osbourne is Jesus. Arthur Lee is the Divine Spirit. That’s the point: keep it alive, spread it around. I want to make records you don’t have to think about.”
“Lyrically witty, full of neat turns of phrase, his songs recall the quirks and kinks of Jonathan Richman, the tale-telling and wit of Alex Turner (specifically the Arctics man’s gentle, romantic work on the Submarine soundtrack), and the playful verbosity of Pavement’s Stephen Malkmus…”
Emily Rose Epstein is back from the road and in typical rock-slave fashion, she’s sandwiched some stage time at home for Treasure Island Music Festival this weekend in between European tours. Here’s what she had to say:
“‘Ode to Viceroy’, a starry-eyed love song to Mac’s favorite smokes, is one example of his understated sensibility.”
The arch Montreal singer-songwriter on being teased by D’Angelo’s “Untitled” video, Shuggie Otis, getting hooked on video gambling, and snot rockets.
“Twins doesn’t stick to the middle or even pick a lane. It swerves, visiting territory well-tread with a perspective that feels new, and knowing Segall, he probably won’t make another album that sounds like it any time soon.”
“Ultimately, the appeal of Twins – and Segall – rests not so much on the individual tunes, tuneful as they may be. You put one of these sneery, sweet, hyperactive, electric records on as a force field to ward off the dead, grey creep of the everyday, to remind you what a good time sounds like.”
“This is all dreamy vocals and surfy, tin-toned guitars… Listening to sweet singing is great when you can be pretty sure that the person singing it was thinking about something disgusting at the time.”
Vice Magazine lists Ty Segall’s third LP release of 2012, Twins, among it’s best records of October.

“Known as much for their prolific musical output and incessant work ethic as they are for their kinetic live shows, the band treated fans to a set that drew sizably from the band’s latest offering, Putrifiers II, as well as the band’s boatload of other releases, many of which were fleshed out for the stage.”
“He [Segall] and his band screamed, slashed, and played within an inch of their lives, and audience members were more than happy to follow him to the edge, heaving seemingly everything they could get their hands on onstage from beer to shirts and hats…”
“The title of Twins is a reference to Segall’s zodiac sign, Gemini, and is an oblique allusion to the album’s general theme of mental disturbance. Segall plays nearly every instrument on the record, and in doing so, churns out the kind of rock-’n’-roll that is undoubtedly meant to be listened to on a turntable…”
“Ty took the stage first by opening…and closing…with “Paranoid” by Black Sabbath. Dude knows how to have a good time.”
“When it comes to seeing bands like Thee Oh Sees, I’d rather see them tear shit up in a tiny D.I.Y. space… Unlike The Well, there’s no V.I.P. area with six dollar beers. Just three dollar PBRs and the bruises on my legs from being pushed into the thigh-high stage by the non-stop mosh pit.”
