Also last year they recorded [...]

So, the penultimate entry before Mrs Mackerel finishes off this year's set of Top Ten postings tomorrow is my very own. Without further ado... 10. Milk Music - Beyond Living Although it was released early in the year, I only discovered it recently. A full on, no holds barred, nihilistic 70s punk attitude and the very best of the heavyweight riffs of the grunge era is a mighty powerful combination. One that makes me wish my car stereo went all the way up to eleven. Download Milk Music - Beyond [...]

At the 7 th Street Entry on Saturday night, I felt like I was back at one of my middle school dances. I witnessed girls kicked out for underage drinking, couples forming and breaking up on the dance floor, and late-night rendezvous with the bands arranged via iPhone. Even though I admittedly enjoyed observing the youth of today and dancing a little myself, it was one of those shows where I felt tired, old, and like I didn't quite "get" what kids were listening to these days. Sacramento psych-rockers Ganglians headlined, but it seemed like the vast [...]

As the days and nights get colder, and we enter full-fledged winter, it becomes more and more difficult to justify taking the BMW out. In the cold, it's almost better to just walk. But I braved the chill and barely-working defrost on December 2, taking the car out for one last night show before the new year. It would be a good one, filled with dreamy music pretty much throughout. Here's the playlist. No follow-up coverage today, as I'm saving them for later this week; it'll probably be another [...]

Ganglians will be in Seattle next week. The famed Crocodile will play host to the Lefse Records band on December 6 with Young Prisms. The band gave us Still Living , their first release since a dual album in 2009, back in August. Those were released via Woodsist, and that beach-y psychedelic sound continues here along with one that hints of Lefse artists like The Fair Ohs and Dominant Legs. Along with the aforementioned psychedelic beach pop sound, Ganglians music is packed with [...]

![Friends & Ganglians @ Raw Sugar Cafe [November 24, 2011]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3887351_lg.jpg)
With various shows happening all over Ottawa on November 24, 2011. I decided to go to Raw Sugar Cafe and see two new up and coming bands from the USA. One was Friends (simply Friends ) from Brooklyn, New York. The other was Ganglians from Sacramento. I was more excited to see Friends because of their catchy song I'm His Girl. This was their first time [...]

Photo source: Spanish Prisoners Hello out there. Enjoying the shit weather we're having? No? Me neither. Escape the rain, head out to a venue, and see some indie rock 'n roll. While the North Highlands , Suckers , Ganglians , and Deer Tick shows are all highly recommended, we're hosting a show on Friday night at Pianos that I suggest you join me at.

Tuesday nights are hard for up-and-coming acts in places that aren't Brooklyn. Friends and Ganglians aren't exactly the kind of bands that sell out school nights, even in places as small as Red Palace. But despite a low attendance that was teetering on pathetic, neither Friends nor Ganglians let that stop them from having a good time and playing their hearts out on the Palace's small stage. The crowd didn't let it get to them either, even if there were only 20 of us. Friends began the evening with their Brooklyn via Pride Rock [...]

Ganglians recently traveled through Portland, Oregon, stopping to shoot a video with the excellent people at Into the Woods . Ganglians' stint with Into the Woods was for the video site's "Far From Home" series , which captures out-of-town bands as they make their stops through Portland while on tour. For episode 19 of "Far From Home," Ganglians performed "That's What I Want," from their new album Still Living : Related Posts: Fine Steps (ex-Mayyors) - "Tomorrow for All of [...]

Still Corners, Ganglians and Witch Gardens at the Sunset Tavern, Seattle | 1 November 2011 The record that got Still Corners noticed was their Don't Fall In Love 7-inch on the Great Pop Supplement from last year. It was stark, icy and sounded like it came from a band wise beyond its years. Singer Tessa Murray had a haunting voice that sounded like Julie Cruise and the band sounded like they existed on a diet of [...]

Fine Steps - "Tomorrow For All Of Today" Sacramento, the criminally-under-the-radar home for a bunch of talented bands, has done it again with Fine Steps , a band led by former Mayyors drummer Julian Elorduy, joined by Ganglians' Alex Soles and Kyle Hoover. This is some very un-Mayyors stuff, but, that being said, "Tomorrow for All of Today" is some excellent jangle-pop. The band's Bandcamp page says this song is from the Boy's Co. LP, out in 2012.

Frank Yang They don't call it Rocktober for nothing. Only March, with its legions of bands crossing the continent en route to SXSW offers nearly as many live music options as October and with such a plethora of shows to choose from, conflicts are inevitable. October 11, in particular, offers a tough choice for Toronto concert-goers: on one hand, you've got Sleater-Kinney/Helium/Minders supergroup Wild Flag making their Toronto debut at Lee's Palace on the back of their excellent self-titled debut , and on the other you've got hometown hardcore heroes Fucked [...]
