Send it to crustcake@gmail.com.by Andrew Wilhelm (CHI)"We are the World" is perhaps one of the least metal things ever put to tape, so leave it to God himself, Ronnie James motherfuckin' Dio to make it all

Lou Barlow Plays Spaceland on Thursday This week's really an embarrassment of riches for local live music fans. Great stuff pretty much every night (and some of it's even free). You've got a nice mix of locals and touring bands; polished KCRW music and buzzy lo-fi blogger favorites; folk, hip-hop and heavy pysch music. Monday February 15, 2010 [Pick of the Night] Princeton / Le Switch / Wade Ryff & Friends / Adam Stern @ Spaceland (Free) [...]
No matter what name we end up knowing them by — Dios , Dios (Malos) or, as their legally safe play now has them billed next week, Wearedios — the underdogs from Hawthorne embody the myth of being in a rock band. They've made critically praised music and played Coachella; they've gone largely AWOL and faced the reality that an 8.0 from Pitchfork won't buy you tacos on Imperial Highway. "It's easy to develop conflicting feelings about these things," bassist John Paul Caballero says. "Being in a band is either going [...]
A short note to Ronnie James Dio and his wife (and manager) Wendy : Dear Mr. and Mrs. Dio, First, Ronnie, I heard you've been undergoing treatment for stomach cancer. Let me wish you the best in this battle, and that you bounce back quickly so you can tour in support of that "Heaven and Hell" DVD. Secondly, and the reason for this short note, is I'd like to ask you a favor, aging blogger to veteran rocker: Could you please [...]
Reason no.1: As Bloodstock Open Air have announced today that they've booked Heaven & Hell to headline the Main Stage on the last night this year's festival, it's a positive sign that Ronnie James Dio is winning his battle against stomach cancer. Like everyone else in metal, we want Dio to live forever. He's already about 1000 years old, [...]
Tonight our boy Travis at BUDDYHEAD is putting on another incredible line up at Hotel Cafe in Hollywood - SLANG CHICKENS , MINI MANSIONS , HOCUS POCUS (members of DIOS ) with HOTRATS (Gaz & Danny of Supergrass + Nigel Godrich) DJing in between bands. Don't let the rain stop you, and you're not getting into the Spoon secret anyway. alt=rss
After an abrupt cymbal crash that opens Hawthorne, CA foursome Dios ' née Dios (Malos), new namesake album, the sound fizzles out into a swirling drone of reverb and serenity. The sound finds a low-point groove and Joel Morales sings alcohol and dumb decision go hand and hand when they're around…epileptic tunnel vision, my body hit the ground supported by a Beach Boys harmony and a through-the-rabbit-hole lead up as the song paces itself for the segue into the group's third album of progged-out, rainy-day songs that drift through a seaside carnival-like haze. Most tracks [...]

Off The Record is a recurring feature here on the Drunkard that marries two of my greatest interests; music and travel. Having a locals perspective when visiting a new locale is the difference between experiencing it through the lens of a tourist and of that of a native. Off The Record gathers some of my [...]
Given the volume of music available for consideration on One Track Mind, we invariably have to pass on a lot of tasty morsels.[tweetmeme] In a desire to share even more great, free music with you, the Sunday Sampler will offer a handful of tracks without the usual critical and biographical write-up. Less talk, more tunes: Dios "Ojay" from We Are Dios (to be released on 2/16) [ download ] [...]
Ah, the '80s. In my opinion, anything to come outta them could either be demonically marvelous or downright atrocious. Considering a majority of us at CoS and our readers may have been born in that fateful decade, I'm gonna take a risk and say there are very many things that came out just wonderful. You know, us, John Hughes flicks, metal, all that. And then there were the music videos …not so lucky, to say the least. In a time when special effects amounted to some really trippy beams of green light and… Tron , [...]
i'll be better at kissin' when my teeth are all missin' ♫ Dios - Puttin It Down Dios, who for legal reasons go by Dios Malos, just dropped two free songs on Buddyhead's record label and I have been digging "Puttin It Down." Dios are one of those bands I have always heard about but never heard their music but this is pretty fresh. Lo-fi, catchy, and great lyrics that somehow seem appropriate for this new year. Their third LP is coming soon on Buddyhead and although I have yet to [...]
DOWNLOAD: Dios - "4th Quarter Single" Cali rockers Dios (Malos) sound like the Beach Boys raised on cheap beer, kind bud and crushing cynicism. -Village Voice Hailing from Hawthorne, CA - home of the Beach Boys - Dios' sound is a product of their environment. Hawthorne has slowly devolved into its current chaotic blend of race riot aftermath, shuttered malls,and used car lots. Smog, graffiti and strip malls have replaced the surf, orange groves, and beach bonfires of the Beach Boys' [...]
