AH yes I am excited to see Versus open up for Polvo FOR FREE in NYC this summer.

Or at least the excerpt I heard of "Before I Lose My Stlye"... to early to call maybe?
― Evan, Saturday, 20 June 2009 05:21 (fifteen years ago) link
Yeah though I corrected myself... Versus instead opens for Superchunk for free Polvo has their own free show with Obits opening. Going to both of them no question still.

Space Needle are the coolest! were the coolest.

Heres the schedule for South Street Seaport. If you are in NYC check out the shows relevant to this thread at least.

About Space Needle... I'm leaning towards Voyager. What do you think Mr. seward?
― Evan, Saturday, 20 June 2009 05:28 (fifteen years ago) link
i love their 2nd album best but probably only cuz i heard it first and didn't hear the first album until years later. both worth owning though. and there was a reissue not too long ago that might just have both albums together.
― scott seward, Saturday, 20 June 2009 05:33 (fifteen years ago) link
I think I saw that it doesn't look like it includes all of both albums. Thanks though I will look into them further!
― Evan, Saturday, 20 June 2009 05:35 (fifteen years ago) link
timely!!!

totally going to that NY polvo show btw. they were pretty sweet last year at bowery ballroom. also opening band the Obits has members of 90s guitar college rock indie bands ROCKET FROM THE CRYPT and EDSEL
― dmr, Saturday, 20 June 2009 05:51 (fifteen years ago) link
that dog was ok. apparently anna waronker now has a rock opera with charlotte caffey.

"Obits has members of 90s guitar college rock indie bands ROCKET FROM THE CRYPT and EDSEL"
Rick Froberg of the Obits was actually in Drive Like Jehu, a band featuring a member of Rocket from the Crypt --> John Reis. Both these guys were also in the band Pitchfork (well before the website) who were/are truly under appreciated.
― sknybrg, Saturday, 20 June 2009 06:37 (fifteen years ago) link
ah right I actually liked Jehu better. ROMEPLOWS
never heard pitchfork should investigate!
― dmr, Saturday, 20 June 2009 06:45 (fifteen years ago) link
Jehu/Pitchfork were major obsessions - still pull those out regularlyThe Obits stuff, at least live, was pretty amazing too.
― sknybrg, Saturday, 20 June 2009 07:37 (fifteen years ago) link
Oh good! I didn't know much about Obits but now I'm looking forward to seeing what they're about.
Also, I'm really excited to get that solo Seana Carmody album. Any Swirlies fans who know whether its good? It sounds good.
― Evan, Saturday, 20 June 2009 14:37 (fifteen years ago) link
Another good band from that era: Eleventh Dream Day. Especially the "Lived To Tell" album, killer.
― kornrulez6969, Saturday, 20 June 2009 15:46 (fifteen years ago) link
Let's not forget that Froberg and Reis had a band in the '00s, Hot Snakes, who at times were as good as any of their other bands (at least live, where they just steamrolled relentlessly, just so so good).
― grandavis, Monday, 22 June 2009 14:25 (fifteen years ago) link
heh heh, i told you -- this is the latest write up of my band in the local alt-weekly: "we caught the Magic Mice in the main room at Bar Standard, proving that what used to be called college rock back in the '90s still works in this millennium" HMMM. at this rate, we'll be as big as Kudgel in no time.
― tylerw, Monday, 22 June 2009 14:39 (fifteen years ago) link
I was really crazy about this album by Duster back in the day. Cool to see them mentioned here as I never knew anyone else who liked them. I bought one of their other records as well, but it wasn't nearly as good.
― A Breath of Fresh Culture (Bimble), Monday, 22 June 2009 21:10 (fifteen years ago) link
this thread is a really intense time tunnel for me
I saw the Paper Chase last night - if you dug the Chicago/Louisville guitar rock (Rodan, Slint) then you should catch their tour because they brought that vibe

― a passing spacecadet, Monday, 22 June 2009 21:30 (fifteen years ago) link
Duster is really great, if you are into that sort of thing. So far I only have Stratosphere and I'm in love with it.
― Evan, Tuesday, 23 June 2009 15:50 (fifteen years ago) link
listening to an old Abilene record...so good

Mr. or Mrs. dmr... person who posted as dmr... please assist me. You posted your radio show, and I love Further. Can you send me any of their stuff? Its way out of print, and I'd love to sample more than just this one track before I can spend the money on a rare copy of one of their albums.
Hope you check back and let me know! Also if anyone else knows!
OH, and I love these kind of low-fi GBVish stuff. Can you recommend anymore or the best albums belonging to the more obscure bands in the mix? I'm already familiar with the bigger names. Thanks! Again that goes for anyone who happens to call themselves experts on this stuff.
dmr!!!
― Evan, Monday, 6 July 2009 02:40 (fifteen years ago) link
i have two further albums to hand (super griptape and sometimes chimes). if nobody else posts em before this evening i'll load em up for you
― c.c. crabcock (electricsound), Monday, 6 July 2009 02:41 (fifteen years ago) link
Thanks so much! They any good?
― Evan, Monday, 6 July 2009 02:43 (fifteen years ago) link
i like griptape quite a bit, the other i don't know so well but i don't remember loving it
you may also be interested in the summer hits, they're related.. check out their beaches and canyons comp
― c.c. crabcock (electricsound), Monday, 6 July 2009 02:51 (fifteen years ago) link
is there a youtube thread of this stuff? i seem to remember one
― caek, Monday, 6 July 2009 03:52 (fifteen years ago) link
the only Further I have is the Grimes Golden EP (which is great) but I don't have any more of it ripped from the vinyl. aside from Quiet Riot Grrl the tracks Teenage Soul and California Bummer are awesome

― dmr, Monday, 6 July 2009 04:00 (fifteen years ago) link
the best albums belonging to the more obscure bands in the mix?
dunno which ones you consider obscure but I'd go for Strapping Fieldhands - Discus, Wattle & Daub, In the Pineys ... Home - IX, X, XI (Elf: Gulfborewaltz) ... Grifters - One Sock Missing, Crapping You Negative, Eureka EP, Ain't My Lookout ... TJSA - Bait and Switch, Straight to Video
― dmr, Monday, 6 July 2009 04:05 (fifteen years ago) link
Yeah Grifters... one of those bands I haven't quite dived into yet... but I've got my eye on One Sock Missing used at the record store next door to my place for 4.99. Thats the best thing about this era and these sort of unknown bands... they didn't get enough press in the 90s originally, so all of their albums are dirt cheap used. I'll check out all of those recommendations though thanks!
And c.c. I'll look into The Summer Hits (?) also, I'm open to anything like this.
Also (dmr) is Quiet Riot Grrl off of that EP you mentioned?
― Evan, Monday, 6 July 2009 04:27 (fifteen years ago) link
Another contributing factor was the 90s birthed so many little record labels that there is tons of material released by these little guys by obscure little acts. And nobody in this town wants these cheap albums but me! Perfect.
― Evan, Monday, 6 July 2009 04:31 (fifteen years ago) link
Will there be a nostalgic reappraisal of 89-91 over-compressed jangly power-pop? If so, I'm looking forward to the new Judybats & Material Issue.
― Bored on the Fifth of July (Pillbox), Monday, 6 July 2009 04:45 (fifteen years ago) link
cuz, you know, girls w/ horn-rim spectacles & dudes w/ wild hair & patterned button-downs bottoned all the way up could really use a comeback (sorry for the lame-o link, but couldn't find this brilliant song on YT for some reason?)

not that it was ever the world's most precise term but it is still annoying to me to hear folks use "indie rock" to describe like, arcade fire.
― pretzel walrus, Monday, 6 July 2009 05:20 (fifteen years ago) link
^^ first world problems
Evan, try the very, very GbVesque Capstan Shafts. there's a lot of it, all of it quite good, if somewhat samey.
that (there even is a) Further vid is really blowing my mind. used to follow the Bros. Rademaker religiously, from project to project, beginning with (ugh) Shadowland. Griptape is just juvenile Dino Jr/seBADoh worship, not too essential. Sometimes Chimes is a fascinating mess that's twice as much album as it should be. but you need Grimes Golden as well as the final Further album, Next Time West Coast, if only for the Primal Scream cover. and that Summer Hits comp is dope. i believe i have everything but the 7"s ripped, if you're having trouble finding these.
― Mr. Hal Jam, Monday, 6 July 2009 05:39 (fifteen years ago) link
The Grimes Golden EP was pretty swank, would definitely recommend that you hunt that fucker down.
