Yep, destruction unit. They got booted from a restaurant during filming of this. Reading this reminds me of a show my college band clean shaven christ played. Similar results.
“About halfway through, the restaurant was empty,” the band told FADER in an email. “By the third song in the set, the owner had kicked us out. One guy loved it, and gave us an ounce of weed he’d grown himself.”
A bit of an all star band here. Via Brooklyn Vegan:
No Chief is Sebadoh/Fiery Furnaces drummer Bob D’Amico new band. The songs are his, but he brings in a load of help, including his Sebadoh bandmate Jason Loewenstein, his Fiery Furnaces bandmate Matthew Friedberger, and Versus’ James Baluyut. On the two tracks that are up on No Chief’s bandcamp, Petra Haden (That Dog, The Decemberists) sings lead. You can listen to both of those below.
Check it out.
Looks like we got ourselves a good old-fashioned supergroup, featuring members of METZ, The Constantines, and Holy Fuck.
I was just sharing this with someone. When you just can’t do with people, listen to this. I hate people. And by that, I mean you!
Chicago’s Twin Peaks go full on Replacements for their new single, with just a dash of the Velvets thrown in for good measure.
Continuing with the Mazzy Star theme established yesterday, one of the lovable(?) idiots over in the Brooklyn Vegan comments section described this jam as “Mazzy Star meets Slowdive”, and I can’t say I disagree. The Black Ryder are touring the US with The Jesus and Mary Chain in May, so I doubt this will be the last you hear from the duo.
