Granted, the retina-ravaging neon nightmare of Long Beach-based buzz band Crystal Antlers' fashion scheme can send you to the hipster handbook faster than you can say LBC, but it's tough not to love a band whose percussionist's name is Sexual Chocolate. I'll let you guess which one he is. (Hint: not hipster Derek Zoolander on your left). Besides, as Ian Cohen points out in his 'Fork rave, the Antlers brilliantly "merge psych, garage, lo-fi, prog, and countless other influences [on their debut EP], maintaining consistency despite a complete inability to be pinned to any [...]
It's crazy to think that we're already about half-way through 2008. It seems like just yesterday when I was ringing in the New Year in a cozy cabin-like bar in Vermont, while feet of snow accumulated outside. But here we are, in mid-June, leaving me to wonder how half-a-year flew by so quickly. When I began pulling this mixtape together, I thought that it would be a breeze to pick out some of my personal favorites of the year so far, but, as you can see, it became quite extensive. There were a couple more that [...]
Omvergeblazen werd ik toen ik voor het eerst naar Crystal Antlers luisterde. Dit voor mij geheel onbekende psychedelische garage gezelschap heeft zopas zijn eerste EP uit -die overgens zeer toepasselijk " EP " noemt- en is tot nog toe onvindbaar in België en omstreken. Maar gelukkig bestaat er nog zoiets al myspace waar werkelijk 3 knallers van nummers te beluisteren zijn. Afgaande op die 3 nummers - A Thousand Eyes, The Owl en Until The Sun Dies pt. 2 - zou de EP van Crystal Antlers wel eens een serieuse hypotheek kunnen leggen op de titel "beste plaat van 20083. Zeer voorbarige conclusie/uitspraak [...]
Not to be confused with Crystal Castles, Crystal Stilts, or Twin Crystals, Long Beach, CA's Crystal Antlers are set to leave the fair-weathered West Coast for possibly more hot and humid pastures. Following a few solo tour dates in the American Southwest, the chaotic five-piece will hook up with the Fuck Yeah Tour (Matt & Kim, Team Robespierre, The Death Set, Dan Deacon and more) in Tennessee and join the travelling schizo party until it brings havoc to the East Coast in early July. Upon reaching our muggy coast, Crystal Antlers [...]
Triclops! (San Francisco, CA) You may remember a few months back when I raved up and down about how amazing Triclops! were. If you forgot check the post here . The band recently released a full length "Out Of Africa" on Alternative Tentacles - which was founded in the late 1970s by Dead Kennedys. TONIGHT the bay area rockers will be performing at The Scene in Glendale with 400 Blows , Big [...]
Wolf Parade (Montreal, QUEBEC, Canada) Just the other day I came across Sunset Rubdown in my ipod and began to wondering "whatever happened to Wolf Parade ?" Quick scan of the 'nets informed me that Wolf Parade will be releasing a new yet-to-be-titled full length record on Sub Pop June 17th!! The band revealed a new track from the album entitled "Call It A Ritual." Upon first listen I cant help compare it some other blog worthy band . The brooding low-fi [...]
From the sounds of things, Crystal Antlers have been tearing up and down the left coast and since they've been sharing stages with the likes of RSTB faves Magic Lantern, Wooden Shjips and Darker My Love; it seemed about time to check them out. For the record I'm pretty damn glad I did, with a sound that's rooted in crazed organ psych and the golden throat of Johnny Bell, whose screams can mix it up with Ethan Miller any day; this band is more than deserving of any acclaim being heaped upon them. I only regret that they're camped on [...]
"Escape From LA" Thursday March 13th at Antone's and The Lucky Lounge Last year Rock Insider sponsored a few big parties at SXSW - including 2 that wound up being simultaneous (geez louise!).

Sunday, October 14th: Crystal Antlers @ Basement Lounge I saw Crystal Antlers on Thursday at Charlie O's and they fucking blew me away.

This Week's Tour News
Who: Crystal Antlers When: July 8th + July 12th Where: Mercury Lounge + TBA! More Dates Listen: Crystal Antlers - "Owl" Thoughts: Since landing a spot on Pitchfork's Best New Music listings, Crystal Antlers have been the buzz of the internets. That's kind of similar to just about every big band out there right now and of course their stamp of approval doesn't mean it's a sure thing. I do enjoy

The Needle Drop: 04-16-08
This week, the show is chock-full of music! We've got new stuff from Tilly & the Wall, Crystal Antlers, Mount Eerie, and Norway's Truls and the Trees. Also, who else--besides me--is surprised that Mudhoney is still going at it after 20 years? The Lucky Ones is their newest release, and they're still pounding away in the garage with as much volume and messy guitar riffs as ever.
