We continue our Chaos in Tejas coverage with one of the bands that I'm most excited to see, New Zealand's The Clean! Anytime you listen to some jangling garage pop track, or off-beat power pop, the odds are, that band was influenced by the Clean , who've been releasing songs since 1981; their first single is the track we're featuring below. They didn't actually release a full-length album until almost a decade into their career, instead compiling tons of singles to release as compilations on the legendary Flying [...]
Codeman just dropped a remix to Future's Samd Damn Time. Its like rap and dubstep at the same damn time. WFGC Exclusive : Download
SINGLE REVIEW: We like our jangle garage psyche and this track by Black Manila called "Fiasco" is right in the sweet spot of all groovy things 602s. Naming their top 5 influential bands as The Velvet Underground, Captain Beefheart, T-Rex, The Stooges and John Lee Hooker. These are some pretty big corner stones that Liam Ramsden, Conrad Armstrong and Gareth Hoskins aka Sun King are taking on but would also say something a little New Wave is ingrained too. This new track by them is less drone than the VU with more of a sculptured song as there [...]
Anything could happen - The Clean I don't see the alignment and influence of the Clean with this new hip slacker pop that has taken off so, but i am a lonely, lonely, ugly person whose gauge on this is skewed to what fulfills and excites me personally so therefore am wrong. It seems from a journalist (read: person who writes authoritatively about things on the internet) labeling more so than the bands themselves. But i've been fooled too often. I don't see it [...]
This morning I stood outside admiring my flowers. Several crocus (I know it has a first declension Latin masculine ending so it is really croci) are blooming. Most are purple and yellow. Any day now my daffodils will open and so will a few flowers outside the fence. I always want a party when the first flowers bloom. It seems a celebratory time needing funny hats, horn blowing and colorful mismatched clothing. The sun is bright, but it is only 43°. After the Cape finally reached 60°, my expectations have risen. The weatherman says a warm spell is [...]

The Clean have been around and making amazing indie pop music longer than most of us have been alive. Making a rare appearance in the US from their home in New Zealand, The Clean will embark on a few dates around the US with Merge Records label mates Times New Viking! By the way, I am really fucking glad Times New Viking is on Merge and not Matador anymore. I think Matador really screwed them with bizarre recordings of their fantastic music. Anyway, get your tickets early. This one is sure to sell out. [...]
The legendary New Zealand rock band The Clean have announced a rare—and short—summer tour with a stop at Johnny Brenda's on Wednesday, June 6th. Tickets go on sale tomorrow at noon. The influential indie-rock band formed in New Zealand in 1978, releasing records on the Flying Nun record label. Below, download one of their classic songs, their debut single "Tally Ho." The Clean - Tally Ho by MergeRecords
ALBUM REVIEW: Meditate On It is the debut by Sleepless Saints is a record done with lots of gentleman like swagger. A tip of the hat to the guitar production and orchestration that drive this baby home. With great Rock-n-roll voice all wrapped up like Mr. Tom Petty or Mr Nick Lowe respectively. Yeah, we know it's saying a lot if you like Oasis type reverb rock Singer/Songwriters then Sir, Mr. Christian Edwards delivers the well spun hooks. Lots of tasty vocal layers packaged in this album so say you. All the songs really show a sense [...]

Man, Austin, TX really knows how to party. Between South by Southwest and now Chaos in Tejas, downtown Austin must have a ton of whiskey puke on it's streets. This year's Chaos In Tejas lineup looks pretty fucking metal as well, with performances announced by Nasum, Moss Icon, Saint Vitus, Best Coast, Drop Dead, The ...
Electro-grunge duo, Ugly Kids Club , out of Nashville, TN hit the nail on the head with their infectious pop song "My Soul", full of dark undertones and a lyrical concept perfectly suited for any passionate music lover. The clean and crisp quality of the recording, likely influenced by Steve's background in music production, blended with the raw energy of Aliegh's vocals leaves us wanting so much more. They sexualize the idea of 'music' so well. Once you've had a taste, we're sure you'll be craving another. "Music is my lover, she's a saint, she's physical, she's [...]
Well Chuckie's team just sent over the mastered versions of the Smash Krank remix of Roscoe Dash's Good Fucking Night. Bootleg to official. How it goes sometimes. Now if only radio would take this and play it as if it were the original, then we would be in business. Here is the dirty, clean and dub. Enjoy.

Copped from the DJ Boardz . Meow.
The warmth is back but no sun. The day is cloudy, a leftover from last night's rain. The breeze is slight and the tops of the pine trees sway just a bit. Yesterday I didn't leave the house. I cleaned this room. It took a long while as the room is filled with hats, snow globes, books and old toys. Gumby and Pokey were especially dusty as were the B-movie people and the wind-up toys. I felt accomplished when I was finished. These spurts of energy are sporadic. For that I am thankful. I hate wasting my time [...]
MP3 Electronic music producer Teebs will be dropping a new release on November 8th via Brainfeeder . Though I wasn't in love with this last album, Ardour , there were still some tracks that drew up some pretty interesting sounds. I'm feeling that way about the first track to drop from Teebs' forthcoming mini-album, too. The quirky, Laurie Johnson-esque melodies feel like they'd fit snugly into the theme for a vintage sci-fi radio program. The beat is pretty pleasant, too. The song's title is "Cook, [...]
The Clean : Big Cat [ purchase ] How do you know if your cat is overweight? You should be able to feel the backbone and ribs. If you can't feel the ribs without pressing, you may have a fat cat. If , viewed from the side, your cat has no noticeable waist but just a mass of belly fur sweeping the floor, you may have a fat cat. Finally, if you wake up each night wondering if someone is pushing a large boulder down the stairs [...]
