smash vinyl

On the post before this one I mentioned Lightening bolt, and I figured that they were about do for a post. I don't want to ruin it for you so listen to the sample below before reading any further. This band is rip off your face good. When I was at their show last time the drummer was wearing a gas mask with an aviator style microphone inside. They sounded like they were about to start a riot in the middle of New York. Anyway, what I didn't want to ruin was the fact that this band is only two people Bass, yep, that's bass you hear, and drums. Pretty fucking ridiculous huh? Well go see them live. One of the best bands to see live today. BTW- i mentioned it in my last post but the original member from this band is doing his solo thing "Soft Circle" at art murmur, which is a bus apparently, on august 3rd in oakland. He is also performing again on august 4th at 21 grand in Oakland as well. Do yourself a favor and don't miss this.

Soft Circle is a one man onslaught of drums, guitar, keyboard, bass, vocals and whatever else he can possibly play with any available appendages. He is an original member of Lightening Bolt, 6 year member of Black Dice, and also has done other releases for DFA records. This man should be a living legend as he is a total fucking badass rockstar making music that is always on the cutting edge of "totally awesome." I'll feature lightening bolt some time in the future, until then enjoy this, and check out one of the shows he's playing in the bay area aug 03 or 04, 2007.

Beulah defined, and still defines the music of San Francisco. Any band from SF that is worth two shits has stolen or will steal from Beulah. They are quintessential to truly enjoying a stroll around the bay area. They are dose of heroin on a cloudy day, or a ride to the beach on a sunny one.
