Two years ago today was one of the greatest experiences in my whole life and possibly the best show I have ever attended. On March 25, 2010 KLYAM and friends and hundreds of others at the Middle East witnessed the greatness of our favorite band The Black Lips as well as the somewhat short lived, but nonetheless phenomenial Box Elders. It was indeed an amazing show, local mainstays, Movers and Shakers opened the show as well. Good times. Great times actually.
I read a comment yesterday on a Ty song thing on Last.Fm. To summarize, it said that most bands should probably just stop making music. They have failed. This sorta explains that:
Hunx and His Punx will be making a stop in Boston on Tuesday, April 3 at the Radio in Somerville. New (solo) album is called Hairdresser Blues out on Hardly Art.
Coming forth on Record Store Day (April 21) is what will most likely be an incredible piece of music from one of our favorites, Nobunny!!!! It’s called The MaximumRockNRoll EP and is “minimum fidelity and maximum punk attack”. That sounds good I tell ya! It will be released by the great Goner Records.
Side A: “Assholes” “At The Mall” “I Can’t Stop” Side B: “I See Swastikas” “Lizard Liar$ & Sluts For Hire”
Nice! King Khan always has awesome side projects going on. Black Jaspers consists of Khan and Jasper Hood of the Moorat Fingers and they have been kicking it since 2001.
Black Jaspers declare:
“WE ARE YOUR WORST WAKING NIGHTMARE FOR WE ARE YOUR REFLECTION.YOUR PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY FREED FROM THE ATTIC OF YOUR NARCISSISTIC SELF LOATHING, PARADING PROUDLY THROUGH THE GHETTOS OF YOUR SNIVELLING HYPOCRITICAL EMPIRE.WE ARE THE TRULY BEAUTIFUL FOR WE ARE YOUR DESIRES AND FOR THAT YOU FEAR,LOATH AND ENVY US.WE LAUGH AT YOUR PIOUS FAKE PITY AS THE TIDE OF MINDLESS,GUILT RIDDEN BANALITY REJECTS US AS IT ALWAYS HAS AND WILL.FORCED FROM A WORLD THAT CANNOT FACE ITSELF WE RISE TO THE SURFACE. WE LOOK DOWN UPON YOU.WE ARE THE ETERNAL ARISTOCRACY,THE KINGS AND QUEENS OF OBLIVIOUS PLEASURE .WE FEAR NOTHING AS WE DRAIN EVERY LAST DROP OF DELICIOUS NECTAR FROM THE BOTTOMLESS WELL OF EXISTANCE.WE WILL NEVER DIE FOR WE ARE YOUR SOULS UNLEASHED.EVERY BREATH YOU TAKE ONLY GIVES US STRENGHTH.WE ARE THE MAGGOT INFESTED BIRTHDAY CAKE,THE SYPHILITIC BEAUTY QUEEN,THE TOWERING PALACE OF THE ABANDONED SKYSCRAPER.WE ARE EVERYWHERE.WE ARE THE SHADOWS.WE ARE EVERYTHING YOU LONG TO BE BUT FOR YOUR OWN SELF IMPOSED ANGST.WE ARE YOUR FACE MIRRORED IN THE WINDOW OF YOUR CELL.
WE ARE THE SCUM OF THE MOON.”
As you all should know by now Mark Sultan’s “War On Rock ‘n’ Roll Tour” is coming up this spring and until recently a venue had not been announced for Boston. Well, you’re in luck Bostonian Mark Sultan fans, because the master himself is playing PA’s Lounge in Somerville, MA on Saturday, May 12! If you like good old, no bullshit, Rock and Roll, come out to the show, you won’t be dissapointed.
