Check out the new LP from Boston’s soft pop masters Saralee. They are playing their 12″ vinyl release show tonight at the Middle East ZuZu w/ Happy Jawbone Family Band. If you dig anything else from Saralee (and you ought to), then you will enjoy this sucker. And if you haven’t heard of them before, now is your chance!
Pick it up at the show or order it here from Ride the Snake Records: http://www.ridethesnakerecords.com/bark/saralee-full-length/

Hey look, Pitchfork (yeah, I’ve never heard of them either) is streaming the new Bent Shapes – Feels Weird (Father/Daughter Records). We implore you to listen to it, discuss the album’s themes with a friend, foe or even the taxi driver on that long ride home – hopefully he or she is not a Travis Bickle kind of taxi driver; fingers crossed. More importantly, buy the damn thing and go see this excellent Boston band live. They’re hitting up New York’s Cake Shop this Saturday, August 24. Go there and tell them we sent you, you can thank us later with candy and kisses, keep coming back, you’re coming to the right place.

Here’s a music video from one of Boston’s raddest fuzzmakers Dylan Ewen. You could say this vid is a real work out! Ok, I’ll leave now.
Hey everyone, I hope you’re having an excellent Saturday so far. To make it even more excellent, here’s a song – Atlanta legends The Lids covering Oblivians classic “Strong Come On” and guess what??? It features Jay Reatard on drums! The Lids, The Oblivians, Jay Reatard, Rock ‘n’ Roll, in and out, in and out forever.
P.S. this song was recorded for an unreleased Oblivians tribute album. Several other contemporary rock ‘n’ roll nutcases recorded Oblivians covers as well including our favorite band Black Lips (“Something For Nothing”). Check it out here!: https://klyam.com/2012/03/12/black-lips-something-for-nothing-unreleased-oblivians-cover-2005/

Just before you thought it was safe to go back on KLYAM again… Nice Guys are here and they aren’t so nice this time around. Fire up thee olde bandcamp page for three feisty new tunes including a cover of Andy Kaufman’s “I Trusted You,” which has been a live favorite of mine since June 8th. That’s right, June 8th. Take that Joe Rogan.
Give the new Future Spa a listen here. It’s a batch of fuzzy wuzzy garage punk ditties that should arouse fans of Roy Orbison (there’s a cover of ‘Pretty Woman!’), No Age, Sonic Youth, Black Lips, and those prone to fucking Mick Jagger. It happens to the best of us.
Watch this short documentary from Vice’s Noisey on legendary proto punkers Los Saicos – a Peruvian band that created wild teen punk in 1965.
Here’s a quick behind the scenes video of our favorite guys Black Lips recording a cover version of The Squidbillies theme song. I’ve never heard of this show, but apparently it’s an Adult Swim program. Word, check it out and listen to the theme song; according to Ian, “It’s a hit!”
