Artist: Family Trees

We've got some psyched-out rock from the 60s, some Stax and some Sly, and strangely, a fit of Richard Hell to break it up. Bad Weather California's debut (released on Akron/Family's own Family Tree label), is a good time record left in the sun – it sits on the beach and chills at the after-party with the stoners and empty cans. The west coast four-piece know their history books – this record references the good stuff. There's a constant nod to soul, from the Wilson Pickett guitar-driven closer You're My Friend , to Stand in My [...]

This show began like any other, but without the transition difficulties. All was smooth. The music, on the other hand, was not. After a long, satisfying week, I was in need of some loud, abrasive rock music. But it wasn't all like that. Due to the cold weather, I mixed in some beach pop, fuzzy dream pop and good old garage rock and pop. Don't forget to hit up the bottom of this post and listen to two tracks from the playlist! "Torn Curtain" by Television [...]

Singer/songwriter Ben Cooper is a man of many faces. When he isn't working on his solo project, Radical Face , he can be found recording with the bands Electric President, Iron Orchestra, and Mother's Basement. As a solo artist, Cooper creates soft, delicate music that's nostalgic and romantic. Not only is the music spellbinding, but conceptually its quite fascinating as well: [ via iTunes ] The 2011 release The Family Tree: The Roots starts a trilogy of conceptual albums about a fictional family, the Northcotes. Following the [...]

New rule: If you give yourself a pseudonym to make a bedroom project-concept album, I get to review it by copy and pasting from Pitchfork. Read more » http://rpc.blogcatalog.com/ http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ ping

​In case you haven't noticed, we kinda have a thing for flowcharts. So in the same spirit as our previous Gayngs and Jayhawks family trees, we decided to try our hand at linking together the 13 acts w

After listening to Radical Face 's second full-length album a handful of times, I wrote down what I considered to be the best four songs. I then told a friend of mine, whose opinions on music I value greatly, to listen to the album. He wrote back to me a day later also noting what he considered to be the creme de la creme of the 11 tracks. Our lists were identical. Based on past disagreements, I'm certain that our musical tastes aren't nearly that aligned, nor do I believe that it was sheer coincidence. While none of [...]

Radical Face – The Family Tree: The Roots. Ben Cooper is in a handful of musical projects – Electric President, Iron Orchestra, Mother's Basement, and Radical Family.

Bloody and dirty new music video from Black Lips ... "Family Tree" taken from the 2011 album "Arabia Mountain" Watch | Black Lips - Family Tree

photo by Lauren Everett At a warehouse in downtown Los Angeles, preparations are being made for the most ambitious and blasphemous Black Lips video to date. Director Kyle Safieh has drawn inspiration from the 19602s Viennese Actionists, whose performance art led to public outrage, numerous arrests and eventual deportation. How perfect for the Black Lips, a band whose musical endeavors have been intermingled with arrests, self-imposed deportation from India and shenanigans on par with performance art. At 2pm on June 26, 2011, the warehouse where the [...]

Eine Band, die es immer wieder schafft, Hammervideos raus zu hauen, sind die Black Lips. So geschehen zum Nonchalance-Chef "Family Tree".

A very NSFW video from Black Lips for the track "Family Tree," which comes from the band's new album, Arabia Mountain. Scope an audio review for the LP right here . Look for a copy of it on Vice Records.

Die Black Lips haben wohl zuviele Horrorfilme in letzter Zeit geschaut und vergleichen ihr Video zu " Family Tree " schon mit Filmen wie Human Centipede und co. Tatsächlich haben mich die AmKreuzAbhängSzenen auch ein wenig an Smith's Red State erinnert, den ich vor einer Woche gesehen hab. Blutverschmierte Chicks und zerhackte Schweinehälften gehen halt immer. Viel Spaß! Black Lips - " Family Tree " Directed by Kyle Safieh Black Lips - Facebook Black Lips - Homepage
