MP3: Eat Skull - Heaven's Stranger Our fav garage / proto-pop shredders Eat Skull are coming to New Zealand this week. Gnarling a wide range of both old (Gordons, Axemen, Dead C, Urinals, early Messthetics comps) and new (Psychedelic Horseshit, The Hospitals, Pink Reason) references together under their own cloud of weirded out distortion, Eat Skull's wretched excess comes out like some sewer-dwelling early Pavement hit or Clean song broken a hundred times over. More info at High Seas' Facebook event . April 20th - Wellington [...]
Life In The Dark This Wednesday night Portland, Oregon's Eat Skull will commence their first ever New Zealand tour. I caught up with Rob Enbom and his live band mate Hart Gledhill late one night as they sat around a computer in a dark basement somewhere in the depths of Oakland, California. After apologising for taking so long to conduct the interview, due to time [...]
TOTALLY AUTUMN just released a second round of bands for their already way amazing line-up! Sick. It now involves bands including all this shit which we love so much: Eat Skull , My Disco , Slug Guts, Holy Balm , Electric Jellyfish, TV Colours , Dead Farmers, Secrets, The Holy Soul, Crab Smasher, Woollen Kits , Rites Wild , Angel Eyes, Whores , Alps (full band show w/ Bare Grillz) and DJ Angela Bermuda ( Circle Pit ) . This is going down pretty soon (Saturday, April 9) at [...]
First the White Stripes break up , now every day Douglas Martin wakes up, somebody got something to say. As long as there's been a "lo-fi" genre, there have been bands ditching their basements for studios the second a record exec utters the term "album budget". But as we slowly move out of the era of the Great Lo-Fi Explosion of 2008 (installment #80 of a never-ending series), it seems as though we're starting to make just as big a deal of bands shying away from the lo-fi sound as we were them [...]
I've been itching to do this podcast for a while, but only now got my arse in gear to do it: record a podcast straight from vinyl. It's a bit of a nuisance, because I have to switch back and forth from the mic, for the chatty bits, to the USB input for the records... oh never mind, you don't care about my logistical hassles do you. The nice thing about vinyl is that the playlist is not simply going to be an inbox dump of whatever new indie has arrived this week, simply because I don't have [...]
Jay Reatard Let It All Go (Demo) Das Jahr begann mit einem großen Downer. Obwohl Jay Reatards Meisterwerk Blood Visions in vieler Hinsicht die nicht mehr getoppte Initialzündung der Garage- und Lo-Fi-Wiederpopularisierung ist, schienen die meisten großen Seiten, die über seinen Tod berichteten, ihn nun über Skandalmeldungen zu kennen. Doch für jedes "Jay Reatard kicks a dude in the face"-Video auf Youtube gab es ein Dutzend Leute, die einmal persönlich die positiven Seiten seiner intensiven Passioniertheit und die Großzügigkeit des Mannes kennengelernt hatten, der [...]
Esta noite é noite de Eat Skull. A Filho Único traz ao Lounge esta malta de Portland, em parte descendente dos Hospitals (dois deles fizeram parte do grupo de Adam Stonehouse), mas com uma pop lo-fi (ou canções-farrapo, como lhes chama o Miguel Arsénio do Bodyspace) distante da selvajaria sonora e física daqueles. Ou talvez não tão diferente ao vivo, algo que se poderá perceber mais logo...
I can't believe a whole year has already passed since last year's edition. This time last year E and I were still living in Athens, and we flew here (Barcelona) to attend Primavera Club 2009. That was our very first Primavera ( Club or Sound ), and now here we are, living in the city, going to what is already our third (Primavera Sound 2010 was the second)! Good times indeed. I know the festival appears to have a pretty low profile (internationally at least), and even many visitors to PS Sound don't even [...]

Warwick, New York label Woodsist has until now concentrated mainly on East Coast projects. This June, however, the label will be bringing Californians a couple of new mini-festivals - one in Los Angeles and one in Big Sur. Woodsist Fest Big Sur is sponsored by (((folkYEAH!))) and takes place Saturday, June 12th at the Henry Miller Library, while Woodsist Fest L.A. goes down the following Tuesday at both the Echo and the Echoplex. The former will feature The Fresh and Onlys and Moon Duo, among others; exclusive to the latter will [...]
It's been a hell of a week. I saw Spoon at the Fox Theater in Oakland on Tuesday, and Passion Pit (with Mayer Hawthorne!) last night at UCDavis's Freeborn Hall. I started writing some show reviews, but a couple sentences in, it occurred to me that sitting here telling you about how awesome the concert that already happened was doesn't do anyone much good, and I should probably get back to the real purpose here, introducing you guys to new music. So here we go. Eat Skull are a lo-fi band out [...]
The Woodsist label has become the place for great lo-fi rock and psych records (Kurt Vile, Psychedelic Horseshit, Ganglians, Vivian Girls, Wavves), so it makes sense it recently signed terrific Portland, Ore., band Eat Skull. The duo's first release for Woodsist, which follows last year's solid Wild And Inside (on Siltbreeze), is Jerusalem Mall. The three-track [...]
The next q and also a features the jangly rustbelt rock of Campfires . q: What is the last song you (really) heard? a: Who's In Control by Eat Skull (after the election in Massachussets ) q: What is your favorite food? a: Really good Mexican food , which there is an abundance of here in Chicago . q: What is your favorite band to see live?

photo from Consumer Reports I can't remember a previous January where there has been this much new music coming out, but I'm old and my synapses don't connect they way the use to. I do remember maybe a few releases trickling out at the end of January and then not much happening until March or April. Well, it's a new decade and we've hit the ground running, out with the old, etc. The last few weeks have been total pop overload, and to give you an idea of the crazy amounts of good [...]
Another solo show this week featuring new tracks from French Kissing, Eat Skull and Bad Sports. Looks like Ryan will be settled in at his new place soon and his Daewoo is almost out of the shop, so we hope to be back together more frequently. Also, listen up at the end of the show for details on a ticket giveaway to an upcoming show this weekend. Tune in here at Indie-Verse at 4 PM CST and listen up. 1) Jay Reatard - Francis Farmer Will Have Her Revenge on [...]

Eat Skull now on Woodsist?! Guffaw! Way to do a 360 after last year's LP on Siltbreeze (don't correct us, we barely understand the difference between the two labels). We have no official statement from the band responsible for one of our favorite records of 2009 as to why it has jumped to Woodsist, we only know it's cause for excitement. Hopefully there's no hard feelin...
