Steve Shelley

They Live in My Head is NYC no wave/post-punk greats Bush Tetras’ third proper studio album, first album in 11 years, and first with drummer Steve Shelley, who also produced the LP.

This week in the Basement: reviews new records by The Clientele, Aphex Twin, Bush Tetras, Dot Allison, Co-Pilot (Jim Noir / Soundcarriers) and DJ Koze, plus Madchester box set ‘Come Together.’

”On this particular night in Brooklyn a lot of those retired songs and deep cuts got dusted off and played for this show. It turned out to be a pretty special event with a really special song list,” says Steve Shelley.

‘They Live In My Head‘ was produced by Bush Tetras’ current drummer, Steve Shelley, and will be out in July. The band, which also now includes The Pogues‘s Cait O’Riordan on bass, will be on tour this fall.

Saturday’s NYC-area shows include Sun Ra Arkestra, Sister Nancy, Jon Spencer + The HITmakers, The Casket Lottery, John Cameron Mitchell + Amber Martin, and more.

“It felt like I was driving through tunnels,” Emma says of the new album which is her first for Bella Union.

Gina Birch opened and Brittany Carney performed stand up, and other guests included The Bangles’ Vicki Peterson and The Dream Syndicate‘s Steve Wynn.

Part of Nitehawk‘s BrooklynVegan presented Music Driven series, ‘It Came From Aquarius Records‘ and ‘Liam Gallagher: Knebworth 22‘ both screen in November.

Backed by an all-star band, Malcolm Mooney performed all of Can‘s ’Monster Movie‘ and more as part of Union Pool‘s free Summer Thunder series

Bush Tetras play their first show with new drummer Steve Shelley next week in Brooklyn, and Gang of Four’s Hugo Burnham will DJ.
