Amen Dunes will rev up the reverb at Saint Vitus on August 26th with Bobb Trimble’s Flying Spiders, Zomes, and GDFX as part of their record release celebration for the new and haunting psychedelic garage LP Through Donkey Jaw. Tickets are on sale.

Through Donkey Jaw was released via Sacred Bones last week and features “Christopher” (video below) and “Not A Slave” (stream below).

Bobb Trimble recently welcomed the new LP The Crippled Dog Band via Yoga Records. The release compiles long-lost material from the outsider folk musician’s aborted LP…

The year was 1983, and Bobb Trimble had two then-unrecognized masterpieces to his credit and a lot of confusion and indifference from his fellow travelers in the Worcester, MA “Wormtown” scene. Never one to worry much about appearances, Bobb accepted an invitation to join a group of teenage boys who called themselves The Crippled Dog Band …and led the Band on enthusiastically received gigs throughout the region. Unbeknownst to almost anyone, they completed a raucous album full of addictive hooks, feedback, teen chatter and video game noises. But soon the Band splintered and Bobb decided to forget about the whole thing, disposing of the entire 500-count LP pressing in an .office park dumpster.

Stream one track, “Live Wire”, alongside a video from 1983 (!) for “You Should See My Girl” below. If you aren’t familiar with the Bobb Trimble “legend” catch up with an interesting Guardian article.

Zomes is nom de plume of Asa Osborne (Lungfish), who released Earth Grid via Thrill Jockey in April. Check out “Openings” streaming below.

GDFX is Greg Fox of Liturgy, who recently released a new LP via Impose Records entitled One Thing. You can listen to “Pipedream” below. Liturgy play Irving Plaza with Asobi Seksu and Boris on 10/27 as part of Boris’s US tour. Tickets are still available.

All song streams and videos are below.
