CHAIN AND THE GANG



THE STRANGE BOYS



HEAVY HAWAII

New Strange Boys Video, 7" & LP 'Be Brave' On Rough Trade

The Strange Boys' new Rough Trade LP, Be Brave will be released on February 22. The new video and single with the same title are out now (via In The Red in US). They are better than ever, and Jenna Thornhill deWitt's (ex Mika Miko) sax is a brilliant addition. This song rules!

Pitchfork Readers Poll (All The Dogs Are In It)

Yo, so a bunch of groops from the posse are included on the Pitchfork 2009 Readers Poll. You can go on there and rep that shit. Cold Cave, Pearl Harbor, Best Coast, Dum Dum Girls, Crocodiles, Wavves, No Age, Nite Jewel, Strange Boys and Zola Jesus are all on there. And fuck it, since Ye Olde Maids' LP 'God Blesses Us, Mother Dresses Us' isn't on there for record of the year, write it in. Simple right? They made it easy on you. Go vote, it's yr duty.

The Strange Boys In San Diego Nov 8 (And More)

Whoa. Total hiatus. Sorry 'bout that.

November is looking like its going to be a really busy month. I'm especially excited about this show on Saturday, here in San Diego. The Strange Boys are coming to San Diego, Crocodiles are coming back to San Diego after a month long tour, and Christmas Island (who are always magic and fun) are playing. A new band The Anasazis are opening. Fun right?







Also:

November 20 / Crocodiles, Dum Dum Girls and DJ Mario Orduno @ The Knockout in San Francisco

Lastly, Audrina's got massive boobs and I can't believe it's election day. What a long fucking campaign this was. Remember the Youtube debates? That shit was July 2007.

The Strange Boys Take California September 9 'N' 11

Oh shit. One of my favorite bands is coming to the west coast. Strange Boys. Last time these young chaps came to California it was a riot. A racket even. And this time their on tour with Touch & Go's latest signing, Crystal Antlers. I think this tour is going to be massive for them. So the fliers above are for the San Francisco and San Diego shows.

And here's a lil' god damned taste of The Strange Boys filmed in March at Austin's Psych Fest:
