listening to this ramshackle bastard has got me jonesing for satori in paris. not the bauhaus 45. but kerouac's hodgepodge of look-at-me-abroad whimsy. i'm digging golden boots ' all-over-the-placeness. each fuzzy track a stranger to the last but rubbing up all friendly like after a minute or two. alex chilton frotts dave berman, in stetsons, yeah? yeah. we're speaking the same language – it's all alt-somethingorother and countrydelic-whatevers - just a in different goddam accent. golden boots / piaptk [...]
If you just rolled out of a bus and wanted to immerse yourself in the newest funnest music playing at artsy dives like Pehrspace and the Vermont House, you'd do well to start by dipping your toes into these tunes, curated by the kids at Cal Arts (way cheerier than those dicks at Otis) and full of mirth and humor and wonderment and lo-fi gung-ho do-it-yourselfitude. Not all of these songs seem to be world premieres, and only a few of these groups actually attend Cal Arts, but with small-band dynamite like Pizza! and Voice on Tape, you just can't [...]
Words By Devin Chanda Football talk dominates the headlines now (especially with Vick landing in Philly ), but across the pond, the coming weekend brings about the dawn of the futbol season in England. Just last week, the top divisions in both France and Germany also kicked off, with the likes of those in Spain and other countries to follow suit as August winds down. Besides battling for the championships in their respective leagues, clubs around Europe will also be vying to stay in the top four (or top three in [...]
Dr. Dog has moved on — the Philadelphia popsters announced yesterday that they'd signed with Anti- Records — but Park the Van Records still has a roster full of eclectic distinction, and a couple newbies are hitting the L.A. area in the next few days. Dr. Dog-endorsed Floating Action [left photo], the nom tune of North Carolinan Seth Kauffman, concocts a wild stew of soul, island music and Americana on its arresting, if a bit erratic, self-titled album. New Orleans-based Generationals — the collaboration between ex-Eames Era guys Grant Widmer and [...]
Two Citizen Dick favorites are joining forces to hit you with a tremendous, super-duper limited edition split single. Wand and Golden Boots each have two tracks on a seven inch from People in a Position to Know Records . (That's a lot of orange in the last sentence, but the last one is the important one, as it's the place that you buy this thing.) Only 300 copies were pressed and they're on funky, multi-colored vinyl. This thing is going to sell out [...]
Google "Golden Boots" and you're treated to an only-on-the-Internet twist on Choose Your Own Adventure: Arizonan psych/rock or Singaporean line-dancing? "Maybe that's where (bassist/engineer) Nathan (Sabatino) found it," says Golden Boots co-founder and co-frontman Dimitri Manos. "This Eastern European line-dancing crew—he's in the middle of talking to them now. He sent them (new single) 'Country Bat [...]
Today was suppose to be Generationals Day, but I totally slacked off and didn't finish the interview I did with them at Brooklynola . I ran into the common problem I face of trying out a new editing technique that can either be mind blowing or just straight up blow, so I decided to sit on it for a few days. Hey, Ted from the Generationals did tell me to try and make him look cool, so I may keep the crazy edits. Anyway, back to the issue at hand. I thought it would be [...]
Golden Boots. At first I didn't like their music, but over time they grew on me like moss on a lonely tree. Bright green moss that really catches your eye. Check out this week's video, the official music video for "Knife" by Golden Boots. To the right or right over here . Golden Boots - "Knife" Directed by Nathan Sabatino
"Paging Dr. Dog ; Dr. Dog needed in the ER". "Patients at the Parish need resuscitation." If you missed the sold out show at the Parish late Tuesday night, your heart rate may thank you, but your feet? Not so much. The young Philly rockers pounded out a heart racing, feet stomping 1.5 hour set comprised of songs from their critically acclaimed albums 'Fate' and 'We All Belong', with a few gems from earlier releases. Follow the jump to read all about it, check out the setlist and see a handful [...]
If you live here in Austin, tomorrow is one crazy day for live music options in our town. We're not sure we can remember a day that was so packed as this one as far as music goes. So packed, in fact, that we can't fit all these shows on our main page. Follow the jump to see full details on all the great shows going down Tuesday. The big show everyone's talking about for Tuesday is My Bloody Valentine at Austin Music Hall . This is a special one as [...]
Dr. Dog ::: Photo by Josh Is it just me or are guys with beards and harmonies just dominating the non-major label pop(!) scene in the States right now? Dr. Dog appears to be on the front edge of that trend, channeling elements of primarily the Beatles and the Beach Boys into more modern and adult versions of sing-along choruses. The old Crocodile was their previous stomping ground, often featuring them on tour with the still burgeoning Cold War Kids in tow; but this time around, both the venue and the crowd had grown considerably for [...]

[Dr. Dog :: Cave Singers :: Golden Boots] [Crocodile :: 4-14-2009] Last night Seattle was treated with three great musical acts, all under the same roof. Kicking the night off at the newly re-opened Crocodile was Tucson, AZ's very own Golden Boots , who self-describe themselves as "alt-alt country." Playing heavily off their newest long player Winter Of Our Discotheque , the band walked a fine line between experimental folk/rock and fuzzed-out psychedelia/classic rock. Highlights of the set included the funky riffs [...]
Dr. Dog, Cave Singers, Golden Boots - The Croc This is just a friendly reminder to the Puget Sounders - Dr. Dog and The Cave Singers w/ support from Golden Boots will be performing this Tuesday (April 14) at the Crocodile. Recently receiving a major cosmetic upgrade, the Crocodile has re-opened its doors to the music community of Seattle. Doors open at 8:30 pm, but make sure you get there for Tucson, AZ openers, Golden Boots. You will definitely miss out if [...]
If you are lucky enough to have tickets to Dr. Dog & Cave Singers tonight @ 400 Bar, make sure and get there early for Golden Boots . A few pairs of tickets were saved for when the doors open. See you there?
The weekend is quickly approaching, especially for us high-schoolers, who don't have school Friday as a result of the holiday with the abnormally large, child-molesting rabbit that lays painted eggs. I don't know what it's called, I'm a jew. Anywayzz, since we are all about bringin dat really good shit right to you here @ Hot Bizzies, I thought I might endow you with my knowledge regarding what is going down on this crazy weekend in the Chi, as well as a few choice cuts from the artists. Friday, April 10 @ Bottom Lounge: Crystal Castles [...]
The original plan Monday night was to check out the Cave Singers and Golden Boots, both slated to open for Dr. Dog at the Basement, then skip the headliner and shoot up north to see San Diego buzz band Crocodiles take the stage at Cafe Bourbon Street. It's not that I dislike Dr. Dog. In fact, I quite enjoyed the Philadelphia band's 2008 release, Fate . But I saw them at CD101 Summerfest last year and they didn't blow me away. Plus, the strength of Crocodiles' upcoming Fat Possum debut, Summer of Hate , coupled with [...]
Spring Break came with impeccable timing this year. Brian and I both filled our briefcases full of student homework, shuffled out of the school doors and entered break with a little Dr. Dog and Golden Boots on the brain. Fate was on our top album list in 2008, and Winter of our Discotheque was one of the first Park the Van albums we reviewed in this new budding year. The fact that the double bill was going down in our state's capitol, a mere two hours away, was an added bonus. The Monday night may well [...]

The Cave Singers at Easy Street Records ::: Photo by Josh As we recall from a post a while back, the Cave Singers went into the studio over the winter to record some material, and they've recently posted to their myspace page some of the fruits of that time, a new track called "Beach House." I like it a lot. Combined with the four or five other new songs we heard at the Block Party last year, I think they've got a strong record worth of new material, and am excited to hear what they play [...]
