Las Rosas
L.A. Witch released EP, playing CMJ including Burger Records party at Death by Audio w/ Meatbodies & more
With a name that almost sounds like it was chosen on purpose to enrage certain people, trio L.A. Witch are indeed from Los Angeles, and sport a dark bluesy sound that recalls a pitch-black Widowspeak or, yes, BRMC or J-A-U-know-what…
Las Rosas release new 7" (stream it), playing Cassette Store Day party, Burger Records CMJ showcase at DbA + more
Brooklyn psych-garage trio Las Rosas have a new single out with two terrific tracks — the upbeat “Ms. America,” and the more laid back “Sensitive Flower” — both of which show off their flair for hooks, melody and arrangement…

Tacocat at Sasquatch 2014 (more by Chris & Rae Graham)
Seattle’s Tacocat have deservedly gotten some praise this year for their entertaining new record, NVM, which they’re continuing to play shows in support of…
Calvin Love played Seaport Music Fest w/ Las Rosas who have shows w/ Spider Bags and Shannon & the Clams (pics)
With spiky hair and a black jacket with flower-accented lapels, Calvin Love looks like a character out of Less Than Zero. His music fits that too, dusty desert rock, heavy on the ethereal synths…
Shannon & the Clams playing shows, including 3 NYC dates & Burger A-Go-Go fest w/ Best Coast, Muffs, more (lineup)
Shannon & the Clams will be visiting NYC in September, where they’ll play three shows: Union Pool on 9/9 with Las Rosas, then Death by Audio on 9/11 (openers TBA), and Palisades on 9/12 with Las Rosas again and more TBA…
Herzog released 'Boys,' playing two NYC shows this week and added to Northside Fest (updated dates, LP stream)
Cleveland band Herzog released their terrific new album, Boys, a couple weeks back. As I wrote previously, Boys is ’90s-style indie/alt rock, loaded with hooks and extremely quotable lyrics (via lyricist-in-residence Tony Vorell who doesn’t play with the band live)…
The Memories touring w/ The Lemons & Street Gnar; Tomorrows Tulips touring too (dates & streams)
by Bill Pearis
A trio of lo-fi, cassette-loving acts — Portland, OR’s The Memories, Chicago’s The Lemons and Lexington, KY’s Street Gnar — are currently on tour together…
Meatbodies released a cassette on Ty Segall's label & new 7", playing NYC before tour w/ Mac DeMarco (dates, streams)
You maybe have seen Chad Ubovich play as part of Mikal Cronin’s band last year, but he’s got his own group, Meatbodies, too. You might not be suprised to learn Meatbodies make garagey psych rock that’s not too dissimilar from Cronin or Ty Segall…
The Beverlys vs. Beverly (both playing separate shows at Death by Audio this weekend)
Toronto “junk punk” practitioners The Beverleys are on tour with fellow Canadians Greys and HSY, and that caravan of noise hits Brooklyn’s Death by Audio tonight (5/16)…
