Garage rock meets performance art any time a group like Black Lips come around. The same can be said for Omaha natives (and Team Love members) Flowers Forever . They're fronted by Derek Presnall, who you may recognize as one of the two boys in Tilly and the Wall. Flowers Forever craft a more psychedelic and disjointed brand of mid-60s pop songs, but it's fitting to see the group join Atlanta's wildest boys ever on their tour behind their latest, 200 Million Thousand . Both acts are sure to cause a sweaty, confusing mess wherever they [...]
Photo by Frank Yang I will confess that this was a show I really wouldn't have expected to happen. It was perfectly logical that Lightspeed Champion would stop into town as he did in March as that was en route to his carpet bombing of Austin with performances during SxSW, but that he'd return so soon - and in a full band configuration rather than a duo - was a real surprise. Not because it wasn't justified - Falling Off The Lavender Bridge remains one [...]

Dina Martina's " The Presidents Day Song " (courtesy of Up Records) - perhaps the only tune penned for the holiday While Presidents Day seems but a holiday for the lucky - a day off for federal and state employees and a postal inconvenience for the rest of us - it has become a day significant to retailers trying to punch up the post-holiday consumer slump by offering deep discounts on cars, furniture, and other big ticket items while donning the powered wigs and chinstrap beards of our former leaders. Hardly a milestone as [...]
Happy Days. We tip the bag and let the mix spill out, rocking, barking, dripping, going soft, psyching it to ya, nipping off to Scandinavia, etc. If we don't match your mood/desire, it's not for lack of caring or trying.

Flowers Forever's self-titled debut will be released by Team Love Records on February 5th. Led by Derek Pressnall, the album was mostly inspired by his apparent mental breakdown (or possibly mono)... **Click on the link to read the full post, download mp3s, and comment.**
Out of a disastrous feeling described as either having seen god or having had a bad bout with mono came Flowers Forever. Awaking one morning on the verge of a nervous breakdown lead singer and guitarist Derek Pressnall came to earth shattering resolve that there was something he needed to inject into his life; as the song "Golden Shackles" repeats again and again, "change better come!" The Tilly and the Wall guitarist immediately turned to art and the exploration of creation, working towards whatever he could. The result was Flowers Forever, a band almost tragically based around [...]
Why did it get warm yesterday all of a sudden? I do not trust this, its January. Also my mom told me theres a tornado moving through where I go to school. Tricky weather. I like it when Al Roker throws it to the local weather person and the person pretends like Al is just talking to them like "thanks Al". Al can't hear you! Here are some songs to check out. The Shaky Hands - The Sleepless Handsome Furs - What We Had [...]
