Band Recommendation, King Khan, Music

Add KhanWood Clarke To King’s Long List of Bands

3 Comments

Who? KhanWood Clarke. King KHAN, Sean WOOD [Spits], and Jeff CLARKE [Demon’s Claws]
What? A MoonStudio production. The joys of having your own studio. Old country music, a bit like when Nobunny picks up the acoustic
When? Sort of now, but the folks above need $$$ to get Wood to
Where? Berlin
Why? ‘Cause

If you take a listen to “Dirtiest Girl” (a demo), you will be greeted to fine lyrics as:

everyone knows you're the dirtiest girl in town
that you fucked every guy for sixty five miles around
but sugar you know I know my night at all
'cause it's always back to me that you seem to crawl

well every guy in town seems to know you're always at the bar
no matter which day of the week it seems to be
but after you wake up in some strange room on the other side of town
i know you'll always be coming back home to me

well i don't mind that you're a little pig around town
i don't mind at all if you like to sleep around
as long as you're home for breakfast, i don't mind at all

whiskey bottle, empty on the back seat of the car
where'd you sleep last night, I don't even want to know
as long as you're home for breakfast, i don't mind at all

“Indian men are built like brick shit houses and fuck like snakes” ends another sure to be classic, the demo “Old Gunga Din“

BOTW: Lotus Plaza!

Leave a comment

Hey y’all, we have a new band of the week: Lotus Plaza. Lotus Plaza is the solo project of Deerhunter guitarist Lockett Pundt. I just recently started listening to Lockett’s solo work and a couple of weeks back I made LP a “Band Rec,” but I enjoyed the music so much I decided, well fuck it let’s make em’ BOTW! LP has a very calm, atmospheric, dreamy sound, fans of Deerhunter and Atlas Sound as well should really appreciate this, like Atlas, I feel like this is really just an extension of Deerhunter, but instead this showcases the unique quality of Lockett’s songwriting. I know the whole shoegazy-dreamy description gets thrown around a lot, but it’s true. I find it best to listen to Lotus around dusk or when you can’t fall asleep at night or you’re half awake and about to start your day. In any case, it fits perfect with a hazy state, when your transitioning from one consciousness to the other. My favorite song right now is “Rain Down,” but I still need to hear more from Mr. Pundt. Thanks for the music.
