LA kids brave the cold for this radical co-headlining show.

With a badge, you're guaranteed entry to any Noise Pop show within the first hour after doors open. That The Fresh & Onlys have a new record coming out probably won't shock anyone, but the band's continued evolution and remarkable consistency make every new release something to get excited [...]

How apt right now! And I'm not just talking about all the homeless on the streets of Toulouse. Les SDF Song of the day is Lovers Lane by Hunx and his Punx. Great song to wake up to, at 1.30pm. MP3: Hunx & His Punx - Lovers Lane
Holy fuck y'all! Burger Records have announed their BRGR SXSW Boogaloo and the lineup is.... incrediballs. Like last year, they'll inhabit Trailer Space Records which is located at 1401 A Rosewood in Austin. The shindig will start pre-partying with bands on from 1:30pm - midnight. It's all ages and FREESIES! So theres no reason you [...]

Hunx & His Punx plunge their sticky fingers into a 60s inspired lucky dip and come up trumps with Lovers Lane. It is a wonderfully entertaining, tongue-in-cheek homage to the Shangri-Las , doo-wop, bubblegum pop, beach cruising and prom night teenage angst and, of course, it finishes with the obligatory spoken word denouement - this time with flamboyantly camp overtones. We know we are a little behind the (leaders of the) pack with this one, but having played it constantly over the past few days, we wanted to post it up anyway. [...]
Tweet Previewing the 2011 Noise Pop Festival This episode is presented by KQED.org . Long before we started The Bay Bridged, we'd look forward to February's annual Noise Pop Festival , and now, in the fest's nineteenth year, things are no different. That's a remarkable achievement, and this year's week of events brings together buzzworthy out-of-town bands and talented locals for stacked four band bills sampling some of the best in [...]

Imagina se o Girls e o Teenagers (as bandas, ok?) tem um filho, e ele nasce gay. Esse é o melhor jeito de descrever o Hunx and His Punx , o próximo projeto de Seth Bogart, líder também da banda de electro-punk Gravy Train!!!, e que aqui retorna com um grupo de garotas, carinhosamente apelidadas de Punkettes , para dar um novo take às baladas chicletes dos anos 50. Com uma bateria que remete às batidas do coração de um jovem apaixonado, "Lovers Lane" é definitivamente uma prova de amor em forma [...]

Happy Valentine's Day. Deal with it. It's not the time to wallow about being alone if your single, it's the time of year to appreciate love in all it's forms, from all it's people. Eat a heart-shaped cookie today, give a friend a hug, or a loved one a kiss, and enjoy the love. And here is a mix about hearts skipping beats. I hope yours finds a reason to skip a beat today too. "Allo Darlin' - My Heart is a Drummer" "The XX - Heart Skipped A Beat" [...]

If you're afraid that the passes to this year's Bonnaroo may avoid you for whatever reason, then it's time to start sticking to gambling 1012s most basic principal: better your odds by diversifying your bets. The extra wager in this particular instance is San Francisco's Noise Pop Festival . Each year, the City by the Bay plays host to some 20,000 fans and countless bands as the city's venues become the musical playground for the most truly discerning music fans. This year's festivities, which go down February 22nd-27th, promises performances from the likes of [...]

As much as my recently played tracks have increasingly been dominated by electronic music, I find that I still need to hearken back to my roots of good old fashioned rock and roll to balance things out. And when I say old, I'm talking 1950s old. Although I hate to see Hunx apart from Chunx, Junx, Funx and the rest of Gravy Train!!!! , I admit that I find myself drawn to Hunx and His Punx 's modern brand of 1950s bubblegum pop seeping with homosexual overtones. Check out "Lovers Lane," their newest ballad off of [...]

Today's free MP3 is a piece of twisted bubblegum from Hunx & His Punx who are set to release their debut album proper on Hardly Art records at the end of March. The album will be titled Too Young To Be In Love and this track is Lovers Lane
