Zany Melbourne garage psych collective King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, a self-described band of “completely fried theremin wielding psychopaths,” are a perfect fit for Thee Oh Sees frontman John Dwyer’s label Castle Face.
He’s the prince of the grimy, cigarette-stained musical underworld. He’s one of the busiest artists around, having released seventeen albums through various outlets, not even counting his seven solo albums. He’s loved by nearly every weirdo with a sweet tooth for raunchy rock and roll. He is Ty Segall…
It’s certainly the most accomplished work in the steadily rising, notoriously musically incontinent career of the 27-year-old phenom of the San Francisco garage-rock scene (recently resettled in L.A.). Before this, Segall already had produced seven or eight estimable solo albums, depending how you count, in the blink of six or seven years…
The magnificent racket made by unorthodox frontman, Ezra Furman, from Chicago was duly greeted by a justifiably fervent response from the packed floor.
newest album, Manipulator is different: more produced and polished. Segall came to NPR West to talk about the album with NPR’s Arun Rath — and play a few songs for us…
While most contemporary bands force and market this cool, Segall is probably too concerned with recording his next three albums to care about what rock ‘n’ roll mystique means. He’s the leader of the pack of bands like White Fence, Mikal Cronin and Fuzz, all of whom save rock from the stale nü-grunge sounds time and time again…
The White Fence track, “Nero (Has a Lot to Think About)” is a tasty slice of psychedelic pop—something you might expect to find in a “Nuggets” one-off and wonder how it never blew up. A repeating riff on the xylophone makes for a unique, but incredibly catchy, track which closes with an unadulterated ‘60s organ freakout…
Ty Segall is a musician who doesn’t sit still. He’s been cranking out albums at a crazy pace for much of his career, and his pace has only increased over time…
Yet one of the most memorable acts of the whole weekend was night one-Friday at the Far Out stage with Mac Demarco. It was a wild performance filled with crowd-surfing, beam-climbing, and serenading…
Since popping the cork on his career back in 2008, Ty Segall has become synonymous with the word “prolific.” But unlike so many artists who commit their every passing whim to tape, in Segall’s case, it’s not just an impulsive quirk or random data dump—it’s the very engine that pushes him to greater heights…
Segall has always existed head and shoulders above just about anyone else in the retro-garage rock scene that birthed him, but that says more about the scene than it does about Segall…
Mac DeMarco is the real deal. On his second full-length record, Salad Days, the onetime Montreal-based singer/songwriter emits a toxic vapor of addicting warbles, slicked-up melodies, and hooks you can’t shake. The result is reminiscent of the softer side of Ween, if only brothers Gene and Dean had hooked up with Pavement in its prime. His unpredictable live set shouldn’t be missed…
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…
Ty Segall has announced he will undertake his biggest Australian tour to date this December, while in the country as part of Meredith Music Festival 2014….
There are few rock performers as ridiculously prolific as California garage rocker Ty Segall, and even fewer whose quality level is as consistently high…
They talked about Segall’s family, his childhood, his tinnitus, his bands, John Dwyer, and Mikal Cronin. They also broke down his discography…
Since 2008, Segall has been channeling his inner Zappa, pumping out records by the fistful and embracing a singularly eclectic style…
What seems like a lighthearted video turns south all too quickly, as innocent dress-up leads to slapstick and then panicked nudity…
The first ever White Fence video features their sunny garage pop accompanied with video of Tim Presley getting the ever-living shit beat out of him, giving himself jailhouse tats, beating up corrections officers, and ultimately getting put to death…
While his live shows have gained notoriety for grotesquerie, Mac himself is a perfectly normal, affable, somewhat foul-mouthed 24 year old. He’s already found footing on his ideal career path, and he’s further ahead than most his age…
On this week’s episode of All Songs Considered, prolific fuzz-rock mastermind Ty Segall joins host Robin Hilton to share some of the music that shaped his new album Manipulator and a behind-the-scenes look into his recording process…
The official 2014 ACL Festival Late Night Shows have been announced for both weekendsof this year’s Austin City Limits festival. Highlights of the first weekend include Beck at Stubb’s, Jenny Lewis at Stubb’s, Interpol at Stubb’s, Rhye at the Paramount, and Mac DeMarco at Scoot Inn…
Mac DeMarco delivered a typically explosive performance, playing heavily off his recent Salad Days LP and diving into the crowd during set closer ‘Still Together’, testing the trust of the audience after jumping from a pillar in the middle of The Far Out Tent to rapturous applause…
Panache is very excited to announce that Ty Segall will be returning to NYC and performing two shows at Webster Hall on Sept 17th and 18th. Wand and La Luz will be support. This much anticipated return will be supporting the release of Ty’s new album Manipulator which will be out on Drag City on […]
Ninth Ward inventors/puppeteers/secret nightclub proprietors/organ-dance-rock wizards Quintron and Miss Pussycat premiered “Death In Space,” the spooky, burbling first track from their upcoming album Spellcaster II: Death In Space today…
Although Spellcaster II: Death In Space sounds nothing like Spellcaster I, it is in a way a return to form, as the LP abandons the party style shout jams that Quintron and Miss Pussycat have become known for in favor of murky instrumental themes constructed from mostly unidentifiable sounds…
Quintron and Miss Pussycat have finally announced their new album: Spellcaster II: Death In Space, to be released October 28th through local garage label Pizza Burglar Records…
Quintron & Miss Pussycat will release their new LP Spellcaster II: Death In Space via Pizza Burglar Records on October 28, their first LP following three years’ worth of singles that eventually lead to a Grammy nomination. The 11-track effort features “Death in Space,” the first to be released out of the gate and available to stream below.
Q & Miss P will hold off on any huge celebrations of the new LP until early November, when the quirky garage punk duo hit the road for a string of dates on the East Coast. The November dates span Minnesota to Florida, and are all available below.
If I were a music critic, I’d try and fail to describe the playful self-awareness, the almost-total coincidence between irony and sincerity, etc. I can’t describe musical form too precisely, but suffice it to say, it’s tailored extremely well to the album’s content…
Ty Segall’s much anticipated LP Manipulator, which is set to be released on August 25th, carries that eclectic SoCal sound that he has stapled throughout his musical pursuits…
