We love The King Khan & BBQ Show, they’ve been a big part of KLYAM since day one. We recently saw the pair co-headline a series of amazing shows with the Black Lips. Now, we are greeted with a new album (first in five years) entitled Bad News Boys coming out on February 24th via everyone’s favorite label In the Red. Above you can hear the record’s killer opener “Alone Again.” Below is the tracklist for the new album.
Bad News Boys :
01 Alone Again
02 Illuminations
03 Kiss My Sister’s Fist
04 Buy Bye Bhai
05 D.F.O.
06 We Are the Champion
07 When Will I Be Tamed?
08 Ocean of Love
09 Snackin’ After Midnight
10 Killing the Wolfman
11 Never Felt Like This
12 Zen Machines
Yerp, that’s good old Jack Hines in that video from May 30, 2003. Jack took over for original Lips guitarist Ben Eberbaugh after Eberbaugh’s tragic death in December 2002. He remained with the band until mid to late 2004, when Ian Saint Pé, the guitarist we’ve all come to know and love, replaced him and has been kicking it with the Lips ever since. Apparently now, however, Jack is back in the band filling in for Ian for a little while or possibly for good?. Damn, I’m going to miss Ian :(, but it will be interesting to see this line up on the upcoming mega Black Lips/KKBBQ tour this Fall. Bring back all that great We Did Not Know The Forest Spirit Made The Flowers Grow slime! I hope all is well with all y’all.
Let’s have a big applause for the global ambassador for rock ‘n’ roll himself Mr. Ty Segall. Clap clap clap clap clap for days. As you can see by the teaser above, teasing away, Ty’s got a DOUBLE ALBUM entitled Manipulator coming out on August 26th via Drag City. Guess what else??? He apparently has a TON of tour dates to announce. NO WAY. WAY. We’ll be keeping an eye on these dates and everything else Ty like a flesh eating hound that makes Cujo look like Alf.

Hot damn, look at this line up! So many KLYAM faves!
LINEUP (SET TIMES TBA): 28 Degrees Taurus, Abadabad, Atlantic Thrills, Beware The Dangers of a Ghost Scorpion!, Black Beach, Creaturos, Dinoczar, Doug Tuttle, The Fagettes, Fat Creeps, Ghost Box Orchestra, Gymshorts, Magic Shoppe, The New Highway Hymnal, and The TeleVibes. In bold are my personal favorites. Purple bolded are KLYAM Records bands.
The show is being presented by Illegally Blind, the work of one Jason Trefts, and Trefts is also the man behind a sea of shows in the Boston area including last year’s first annual Fuzzstival, which was a hoot. This year will be even greater.
The whole shabang takes place on Saturday, August 2 at KLYAM’s favorite aboveground venue The Middle East in Cambridge. Upstairs from 1PM-5PM. Downstairs from 5PM- 1:30AM.

In the meantime, while you’re twiddling your thumbs in anticipation, you can read our review of last year’s festival, written just minutes after the festival itself in a shamelessly drunken state of mind: https://klyam.com/2013/08/11/review-boston-fuzzstival-81013/

At all of the above shows you can pick up the brand spankin’ new Nice Guys/Miami Doritos Splifft 7″, the second release from KLYAM Records. Damn straight. They will also be available through the KLYAM online store very shortly. Stay tuned.
Shit, I don’t think a work of art has made me want to drink so badddd since Dazed and Confused! Watch the epic onslaught of 40s in the music video above for Free Pizza’s latest single “Boston, MA” an ode to our fair city. Then catch em’ on tour with fellow Bostonians Designer in March including a stop at SXSW. Full-Length comes out on BUFU Records on March 8th.
In 1956, Elvis Presley shook his hips on national TV. Later in 1956, Elvis Presley shook his hips AGAIN, being shot from the waist up. Then for a long time nothing happened… Until now. We bring you the Nice Guys/Miami Doritos Splifft 7″ out on KLYAM Records on March 3rd and at the Nice Guys/Miami Doritos tour kick off show and subsequent shows on February 28th. For far too long, rock ‘n’ roll has been neutered, packaged, sold, resold, twittered, tweeted, repeated, and cheated again and again. I for one have had enough. This Splifft here is a grenade in your sweaty hands. Use it wisely.
Four fresh, gahridgerawk cutz to terrify the neighbors. Shambling, scuzzy noise. BLASTS!
Nice Guys :
1) Jamaican Vacation
2) Medical Envy
Miami Doritos:
1) Price 2 Pay
2) Rush Hour/Piss Take
