[ediTors' note: our correspondent down in the "california" area has been doing nothing but banging beach sluts and drinking all the fine wines that the "californias" have to offer for the last several months. he went to burgerama recently to connect with the youth. this is how he feels about it.] "In the days prior to Burgerama, I anticipated vast slabs of pink slime sizzling on a grill, being passed around to patrons and passersby only to sit in their bowels, undigested, for the rest of their lives. I was told that this was not the case. [...]
I'm so excited for both Hardly Art and Shannon & the Clams ! The two have joined up to release the next record from Shannon and her posse, titled Dreams in the Rat House ; it comes out on the label on May 21st. I've long enjoyed Shannon's work, and not just with the Clams, but with the other projects she's taken a liking to throughout the years, such as Hunx. This tune illustrates her penchant for tossing her raspy voice into the mix [...]
Today's music never meant to hurt you. Enjoy. : Wavves - Demon To Lean On : I never thought I would be excited to hear a new Wavves album, but this 90s rock-enthused gem has me rather anxious to check out the upcoming Afraid Of Heights . The effort is due out on March 26 via Mom + Pop . : Hunx - I Won't Tell If You Won't Tell : Famous Class is still doing its Less Artists More Condos 73 series, and that makes me happy. This jangly [...]
The fifth release in the LAMC series from Brooklyn label and collective Famous Class is a split between current Babies guitar slinger Cassie Ramone and Seth 'Hunx' Bogart. Hunx occupies the A-side with the slinky and catchy-as-hell "I Won't Tell If You Won't Tell," which runs on the fumes of a snappy half-muted guitar lick that proves to be the perfect vehicle and companion for Bogart's nasally punk timbre. Dig into the single, and sneak a peak at Hunx's Hollywood Nailz video series below. The clip here features Shannon & The Clams and Grass Widow hilariously covering 1990s [...]
Listen to the new split between Hunx and Cassie Ramone. Released earlier this week was the new LAMC (Less Artists More Condos) #5 split 73. This one features the snotty retro pop of Hunx and Cassie Ramone of Vivian Girls . On February 19th, LAMC #6 will follow and feature [...]
The Hunx/Cassie Ramone 73 is available to buy here via Famous Class and 100% of the digital proceeds go to the Ariel Panero Memorial Fund. Below we've got cuts from Hunx and Cassie Ramone via the LAMC split 73 series , the next of which comes out on February 19 and features Cass McCombs and White Magic. Cassie Ramone brings "I Don't Really Wanna Go", a sad little breathy ballad the descends into a crazy pit of noise, while Hunx brings a garage pop gem in the form of "I Won’t Tell If You Won’t Tell". [...]
Here it is. I know you'll hate it; I know you'll disagree, but that's not the point in making an arbitrary list. We here at ATH worked really hard to fit in the tastes of the four of us, and when we decided upon our Top 50, it really boied down to simple math. What albums did we love when they came out? Do we still enjoy spinning those records months later? If they're in the Top 50, then the asnwer is probably yes. I mean, our Top 2 records came out in January, and still play a vital part [...]
Our year end coverage begins with the three chiefs over at the ATH offices reveling in what was an incredible year in Austin, musically speaking. Tons of rad bands blew us away with their live sets, and, well, there were just tons of bands. I think we did more show coverage this year than in previous years, but as always, the great thing about our site is diversity. We're also linking back to our full reviews and photos of some of these nights, so you can get more of a feel of our thoughts, not to mention, checking out Brian's [...]
One of the great things about hitting up the record store on new release day is stumbling upon tunes you weren't expecting, like this new tune from Shannon and the Clams . The band's been sort of quiet, but that's probably because Shannon's been touring with Hunx . However, the group is back with a few new 73 records, and this one comes out from Volar Records (I picked it up last night). Shannon has a voice that sounds like the heir apparent to Janis Joplin, and I [...]
In the grand tradition of rock star progragamming like Let's Big Happy (not merely a shiny shill for Taco Bell) and General Hospital (with Rick Springfield as the dreamy Dr. Noah Drake), YACHT and Seth Bogart (aka Hunx ) are each in various stages of development for their own web shows. Now someone just follow Kanye West around with a camera and our TV viewing schedule will be complete. YACHT's four main members (Jona Bechtolt, Jeffrey Brodsky, Claire Evans, and Rob Kieswetter) are [...]

Featuring cameos from Grass Widow, King Khan, Nobunny, King Tuff, Shannon and the Clams, Alexis Blair Penney, Miss Shannon & many more! Take a look a the hilarious trailer below. You can start watching it next week on HollywoodNailz.com !
As much as I hate to run the same stuff as P4K, I have to continue for Ryan Howe and his project, Punks On Mars . His newest track encapsulates every inch of what I love about his music, using hooks wrapped around Bolan-esque guitar riffs, all the while traveling off the beaten path just a tad. It's in the same vein as my faves King Tuff and Hunx , but in a completely different manner. If you're loving this jam, you'll find [...]
As we've written here in the past, the duet is an inexact science — some of the collaborations that you'd think should have been roaring successes proved to be disastrous , and vice versa. We're still on the fence as to which group the new St. Vincent/David Byrne collaboration Love This Giant , which is out today, falls into — but either way, the fact that two of our favorite artists have made a whole record together got us thinking about other dream duets we'd love to see. We've started the discussion with a bunch of suggestions. Who would [...]
Seth Bogart temporarily left his Punx behind for a solo album as Hunx earlier this year. The latest single from 'Hairdresser Blues' is free track 'Let Me In'

Cheer up, Hunx. ‘Hairdresser Blues’ is much better than ‘Too Young To Be In Love’. 2012, Hardly Art 6.3 / 10.0 Seth Bogart, the openly gay indie musician known as Hunx, has dropped ‘His Punx’ for his first solo release, Hairdresser Blues. Sticking to his formula of indie rock [...]
When I program the annual Big Gay Podcast, spotlighting KEXP artists who are members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community, I have a couple of goals in the mind. The first is to connect music lovers with a bunch of artists and songs worthy of special consideration. And the second is to do right my teenage self. When I started making mix tapes in high school, there's no way I could've assembled a compilation along the same lines the Big Gay Podcast. Maybe, with a lot of leeway, I could've filled one side of a 90-minute [...]

Here are 33 of our favourite tracks from our May postings and 6 new songs too. No need to thank us. Download Virals – Gloria mp3 (from Coming Up With The Sun EP) Shines bright with an insanely hooky vocal and charged guitar riffs, taking cues from the sunny California coast yet retaining a suitably English feel.
