Dayemm, I’m really starting to get into Adam Green and this song is simply spectacular. I love the off color lyrics and awkward vocals. I’ve been a big Moldy Peaches fan for a little while now and I thinnk Green’s solo work is a nice, fucked up, musical venture for me to follow up on.
Artists: SARALEE, Kal Marks, Peach Kelli Pop, and The Scamps
Date: Thursday, May 26, 2011
Location: Problem House (Allston, MA)
Comments:
Act I: SARALEE– This guy (drums) and girl (vocals, guitar)duo were a pretty cool band to kick things off. Apparently, they just started making noises not too long ago; I couldn’t tell, they sounded like pros! Seriously though, there was something that stood out to me about them in a sort of off-kilterish kinda way. The girl’s vocals reminded me of a cross between Joanna Newsom, Bjork, and the kind of screeching, high pitched vocals you would hear in a Harmony Korine flick. It was pretty cool.
Act II: Kal Marks– I gotta be honest I don’t remember too much from Kal Marks’ set, but I do remember enjoying it very much. I recall the group exploring various sounds and nicely jumping back and forth from soft to loud. I plan on looking up their music and most likely seeing them again. Good work.
Act III: Peach Kelli Pop!!!– YAYYY! I was very, very excited to see my favorite Ottawa Bubble Gum Rockers and they did not dissapoint me. I loved the ultra intimate quality of these basement gigs, so it was real nice to be up close and personal with PKP. Their music is so fun, exciting, and welcoming the Problem House was the perfect venue for this set. I only knew about 1/3 of the songs, most were not from the recent LP (at least to my knowledge), but it didn’t really matter because the energy was still alive and well. But, of course when classics like “Doo Wah Diddy,” “Do the Egg Roll,” and my personal fave “Eeenie Meenie Minie Moe” were unleashed I couldn’t help but dance my ass off and sing along! Congrats to Peach Kelli for their first show on their first American tour!
Set List:

2) Julie Oulie
3) No One Else
4) Doo Wah

Act IV: The Scamps– Alas, we missed these guys :( next time!
Hey those guys hopping and boppin look real familiar…
Haha! Bring the kids, parents, hell even round up thee old geezers. Priceless.
Though, I’m actually surprised the band got a promotion like this… is this from MTV?

Word… new album (Arabia Mountain) is hot.
Classic scene from The Decline of Western Civilization (1981).
You know the routine, I turned on my ipod and hit shuffle…
The Stooges– “Death Trip” (1973)- Great way to kick off the list!
Korn– “Blind” (1994)- This is a good example of how I am not lying when I put these shuffles up! Though this is actually a fairly badass song for what its worth.
Meat Puppets– “Never to Be Found” (1994)- Haven’t heard this in a while.
The Replacements– “White and Lazy” (1982)- Funny, bluesy number from the boys.
Sonic Youth– “Shadow of A Doubt” (1986)- Apparently my shuffle is reading Our Band Could Be Your Life…
Black Lips– “Take My Heart” (2009)- Not the best from my favorites, but I’ll take it.
Slayer– “Criminally Insane” (1986)- From Reign in Blood, one of the few metal records that have stuck with me over the years.
Run-D.M.C.- “Walk This Way” (1986)- Another song I haven’t listened to in ages.
Nirvana– “Milk It” (1993)- One of the noisier/rougher cuts from In Utero
Ramones– “Cretin Hop” (1977)- One of the best album openers.
Flipper– “Sex Bomb” (1982)- Epic Closer!!! (for this shuffle)
Those Darlins will be hitting up the Middle East Downstairs in Cambridge, MA on Saturday, October 15, 2011. Can’t wait, the Darlins were pretty sweet the last time I saw them.

I’ve youtubed Shannon and the Clams before and I always enjoyed their stuff, but it wasn’t until last night when I heard this year’s LP Sleep Talk that I was convinced that this is one of the best bands lurking around the underground/”garage” Rock and Roll revivialist world. I knew Shannon Shaw from Hunx and His Punx and I’ve always been a massive fan of her vocals, for they were arguably the brightest light in the latest Hunx release, Too Young to Be in Love. Along with Mark Sultan, I think Shaw is perhaps the finest singer right now. The band as a whole have a mish mash of old school Rock and Roll, Doo Wop, Phil Spector Girl Groups of the love ballady variety, and without a doubt a fast Punk Rock driving sound/edge to them. Overall, this is fun, innocent Rock and Roll, but with just a bit more kick to it; they really can rock hard and freak out like on ” King of the Sea.” I’m sure they will be a future band of the week, in any case keep your eye out for these guys on KLYAM.
