Band Spotlight: THE ORWELLS


Location: Chicago, Illinois
Sound: Fuzz Pop
Description: Haven’t been this excited about a new band for a while. They got the garage rock revival thing per se going in the innate catchiness of their music, but have what I would consider a world of fuzz that just kind of builds on top of said greatness.
Top Songs: Pretty much all of the ones on their MySpace
Comparison: Ty Segall

Band of the Week: Wavves

Yep, you guessed it. Wavves is the KLYAM’s Band of the Week. What warrants such an honor? Let’s see dropping the greatest LP of the past year (King of the Beach)-at least our favorite, playing one of our top shows of Twenty Ten, or just being all around great guys! In any case, Wavves deserve the recognition, as they have been rightfully receiving from various media outlets in recent time. Absolutely one of my top ten favorite bands right now; can’t wait to see them live again this Friday, February 4 at the Paradise Rock Club opening for Best Coast.

“There’s something about the Summer.”

Song of the Day: Best Coast- Summer Mood

With this number Bethany definitely achieves her objective of making the listener feel at the beach no matter where they are. And right now in January in New England I could really use the warmth of the sun; at least this ditty puts me in a Summer Mood :)

Currently Best Coast has teamed up with Honorary KLYAMers Wavves for the “Summer is Forever” tour and both will be appearing at Boston’s Paradise Rock Club this Friday, February 4.

Boston based shows/fests – DIY, punk, noise
