Old King Cole Younger Playing In Philly 2Nite

Old King Cole Younger, the alias of Cole Alexander of Black Lips, will be playing what looks to be his first show (ever?) tonight in Philadelphia. At least a few Philly newspapers are reporting that he is opening for lo-fi psychedelic band Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti. Is this true? If so, this is great.

Be sure to check out fellow KLYAMER, Matt “Bob Matthews” Ramsden’s new blog, Summer and Smoke. Matt posts a variety of film, art and music related musings, but the site’s heart lies in its interaction with the reader, a quality I rarely see. Readers are encouraged to submit their thoughts and feelings and hopefully a discussion comes a flowin’. I appreciate how Matt makes the site less about him and concerns itself more (humanely) with the well being of everyone. Great Job!

Check it out and pass it along to your friends and do the same with KLYAM! We Love all you beautiful, little KLYAMERS even if you despise us because we are just that amazing. God is a KLYAMER.

Band of the Week: No Age :)

Yessir our Band of the Week is the incredible noise pop duo No Age (Dean Allen Spunt-Drums/Vocals and Randy Randall- Guitar), a longtime and beloved KLYAM favorite. NA are a great example of a modern Punk band still keeping the DIY ethos alive, well, and always ready to knock the corporate ogre on his ass. Our guys will be playing at the Middle East this Tuesday, November 16 at the Middle East in Cambridge, MA. Glen, Ben, and I have seen NA three times before, so we know we’re in for one helluva show! For longtime readers of the KLYAM or even our previous blog, http://wakefieldnews.blogspot.com/ y’all already know about these dudes and their great music, but for those who have not heard of NA and/or are new to our blog, check these guys out, one of the finer bands around today- we cover them frequently. In the days leading up to the show more coverage of the one and only No Age will appear. In the meantime, treat your ears to this new classic, “Life Prowler,” opening track from their latest release Everything In Between (2010).
