Red Bull writes about spending two days on Mac DeMarco’s tour
For now, Mac’s plan is working. Being a successful pop musician is only partly about music; it is also about developing a marketable personality and pushing that personality to the limit.

On record, it often sounds as if John Peel is reaching out from beyond the grave to play Mac DeMarco’s entire career at the wrong speed
Ty Segall is playing a one-off show on December 2nd at London’s Scala, performing his new album Sleeper that was released back in August via Drag City.
Prolific, garage-favouring jam band Thee Oh Sees are compiling yet another batch of their non-album tracks for a third Singles Collection. This latest edition arrives November 26 via band leader John Dwyer’s Castle Face Records imprint.
Jonathan Richman is Mac Demarco’s role model as “it seems like he’s just had a very enjoyable time his whole life”. Judging by his Scala show, Mac doesn’t seem to be struggling to replicate this lifestyle.
It’s probably too early to declare DeMarco one of a kind, but there’s more to him than the joking around.
When you say it’s “‘too loud,” that’s really code for, “This music sucks!” Dinosaur Jr. can never be too loud, for example. And wait till you hear Fuzz!
,,,The Bay Brewed will be headlined by none other than local breakout star Mikal Cronin, and the full lineup includes Shannon and the Clams and…
…The Bay Brewed, returns to Public Works for a third year of great music and beer. We’re now pleased to announce the festival’s lineup six amazing local rock bands, led by Mikal Cronin and Shannon and the Clams.
Rarely does a band live up to its name so perfectly, as the trio churns out heavy slabs of psychedelia, which should reverberate nicely off the walls of the echo chamber that is Logan Square Auditorium.
Three songs illustrate the blend of psychedelia, pop sensibility and irreverent humour that underpins King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard’s latest record, Float Along – Fill Your Lungs.
This week on Respect the Rock, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard’s Stu Mackenzie and Eric Moore joined Nicole TadPole in the studio for a chat.
Mac Demarco is something of a rare, but rough, diamond. As we photograph him in a London off license, he places his cigarette between his trademark gappy teeth…
Anyway, Segall is back in town tomorrow and this time he’s playing Logan Square Auditorium with his new band, Fuzz. The trio’s brand-new self-titled debut is packed with heavy rock burners…
US garage-pop rocker Mikal Cronin has shared the dates for this debut Australian tour next month.
I have said it before, but will keep saying it until we are ALL in agreement: Thee Oh Sees are one of the best, if not thee best, live acts playing today.
Charles Moothart and Ty Segall of FUZZ perform at Mercury Lounge in New York City on October 12th, 2013.
The band only formed in January and consequently their debut fizzes with spontaneity, its sinuous riffs and Sabbath-indebted rhythm section playing at a delirious punk-rock speed…
He and Segall have been in bands together since high school, back when Segall was primarily a drummer. They’d tried to get a band like FUZZ – far more psych metal than garage rock…
San Francisco’s royal family, Thee Oh Sees, are setting out on a month long US tour with Austin psychopaths OBN III’s and Minneapolis lunatics The Blind Shake. The circus began with a sold-out, three-night takeover at The Chapel.
After selling out his first Melbourne date, Canadian slack-rocker Mac DeMarco has unveiled additional Meredith Music Festival sideshows.
With the opening series of headline sideshows at Melbourne’s Corner Hotel now sold out, two extra shows have been added to the tour itinerary, with Mac DeMarco and his ensemble…
…pop music is overrun by bands armed with Orange amps, fuzz pedals and a monomaniacal thirst for vintage sounds. By naming itself Fuzz, this California trio literally spells out what’s on the menu…
San Francisco psychedelic garage rock band Thee Oh Sees performed at St. James Park in San Jose, California as main support for punk icons Iggy & the Stooges.
Sonically, Fuzz sprawls out far and wide, meshing psychedelic expanses with chugging guitar hooks, shitkicking bass lines, and post-apocalyptic drums, prolonged and slow.
Mikal Cronin has shared a video for his MCII highlight “Peace of Mind”. It was directed by Lara Gallagher and stars Mary Timony of Wild Flag and Helium as a hotel maid who doesn’t seem to be having a good day on the job.
Cronin juxtaposes his upbeat “Peace of Mind” with this simple, not-exactly-upbeat plot to create a touching clip. Wild Flag member Mary Timony, an indie-rock…
The Bay Area’s most heavily reformed skuzz kid, Mikal Cronin, is still riding the wave of this year’s languid MCII. Today, the crest of that wave has resulted in a…

Drumming and singing with three-piece Fuzz, Ty Segall made several apparent tongue-in-cheek references to the festival’s name,
