Tonight marks the officially release party of, in my opinion, one of the best live records I've heard in quite a while. As you can read from my review , the Shimby Presents: Live at the Empty Bottle compilation does a fantastic job of showcasing both national (Best Coast, Black Lips) and local (Hollows, Mickey) acts on the same plane. Additionally, it's a taste of the sound and vibe that's often emantaing from the Empty Bottle these days - thrashy garage rock that bends in both the heavy and psychedelic ways. Tonight's release show features one-half of [...]
-- Mark Sultan at Bell House ( more by Jason House ) Ahhh... So these last few months have been all about downtime, and getting lots of non-musical crap done. Lots of stressful things that I doubt anyone is interested in. But I am now pretty clear of most of it, so that's cool. Musically, it's not like I have been doing nothing, just not as much. That being said, I have recorded a bunch of new songs. They need some vocals and organ, for the most part, but this new batch of [...]
Sultan blends together his doo-wop, garage, and punk influences, presenting himself as a peerless artist. Mark Sultan is a human paradox. One would be hard-pressed to find a musician that is more prolific as far as recording output is concerned, but also one who garners less attention from the media. And though so many of his tunes espouse a general sense of chaotic benevolence, dude is really quite reserved in interviews. He's spent his past banging around cities like Berlin and Montreal under a variety of monikers with cats like...
photos by Jason House ...lo and behold, to my amazement, after Saturday's show, I've now seen The Gories do their thing threefold. And each time has been better than the last, as if they've picked up where they left off to become meaner and leaner. This time, they started with the obvious ("Hey, Hey We're The Gories"), but as they announced, tonight's performance delved into lesser known cuts from singles and comps. As such, we heard their wooly version of The Keggs' "To Find [...]
When it comes to a record involving Mark Sultan , it's fair to say that you generally know what to expect. From his early bands through to his BBQ alias (including three great albums as part of The King Khan & BBQ Show) he's been a man who's not only looked to the past for inspiration, aping the raw guitar sounds of yore, but he's managed replicated these sounds in a way that somehow transcends mere imitation, carving out a niche of his own. Quite how this is achieved when so much is borrowed is something of a mystery, [...]
My love for noisy post-punk duo The Human Tail has been well-documented -- no seriously, blast the 2010 Tape EP right now, it's fantastical -- so I'm pleased to see fine gent Robbie Lordi... Support indie media! Read the rest at thephoenix.com . . .
Mark Sultan in Austin ( more by Tim Griffin ) Back in October, even before he played the Norton party at The Bell House , Mark Sultan (aka BBQ) told Spinner : "I understand and appreciate instantaneous music and artforms in general," he maintains. "But I will say a lot of that is so phony to me. To talk about dubstep, for example: Maybe that's cutting edge for the next month in Williamsburg, but the fact is, I call bulls--- and I don't believe you. I think you're [...]

Following their acrimonious breakup, the King Khan and BBQ show reunite on a new seven-inch that features their cover of Syd Barrett's 'Terrapin.' Listen to it now.
Filed under: News , Exclusive , New Releases Courtesy of Mark Sultan Mark Sultan does whatever he wants, whenever he wants. At least that's what the Montreal garage rock enthusiast sometimes known as BBQ ( but no longer part of King Khan and BBQ Show) says when asked about his new and aptly titled vinyl albums, 'Whatever I Want' and 'Whenever I Want,' as well as in a recent blog post.

What up everybody everybody? Hope you had a nice weekend when you were at Disneyland, I know I did. There is some good stuff to listen to this week, I have been hearing the new Deer Tick all morning long and I like it, and I am sure you will too. Feel free to take a look around and let me know if you want to try something on. 3Ds: Hellzapoppin (reissue) [vinyl] A.A. Bondy: Believers [vinyl] Ane Brun: Changing of the Seasons [...]
A video for the song "In Future Worlds," which comes off the new Mark Sultan compilation Whatever/Whenever . This album is comprised of fourteen tracks from two recent Sultan releases, Whatever I Want and Whenever I want . In true Sultan fashion, the track above is an odd and lo-fi take on garage rock, old school R&B, psych rock, and soul. Yes, different worlds, but this guy always manages to meld into a world of his own. Look for Whatever/Whenever on In the Red Records tomorrow. [...]

The first 200 copies of each album have been pressed on blue vinyl and you can [...]
Music adventurist Mark Sultan loves to mix genres together, often combining early rock'n'roll, psych, avant garde, free jazz, doo wop, early r&b, garage punk, and punk rock. Soon you will be able to hear what those concoctions sound like when he releases two albums this month: Whatever I Want and Whenever I Want through In The Red Records. Check out one of the new singles, "Song In Grey" after the jump. Read more » http://rpc.blogcatalog.com/ http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ ping
As if I didn't love October enough for a myriad of reasons (turning leaves, pumpkin patches, Halloween…you get the picture) I can now add to that list the release of not one but two Mark Sultan LP's: Whatever I Want and Whenever I Want . Not to mention the news that Sultan has traded his one-man band approach for a fuller sound by adding bass, drums and backing vocals from guest appearances by members of The Black Lips, Spits and [...]
Siempre es que este mixtape me estaba sacando canas. El problema no fue la calidad de los temas que llegaron a nuestras manos durante el mes, sino la heterogeneidad de los mismos. Concretamente tocó sacrificar las canciones de Dom y Diehard ... simplemente no encajaron. Tampoco nos dieron permiso para poner la de the band in heaven , que es de lo mejor que he oído en las últimas semanas. Ok, expliquemos un poco cómo quedó el asunto. Comenzamos con Royal Headache que nos viene gustando bastante. Hay primicia de Mark [...]

Exploitation, expanding markets, demographic developments and cultural surveys were all the rage this week. We heard rumors from Media Take Out of a Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj sex tape floating around looking for buyer to the tune of $150K, or how about your dubstep boy Skrillex reaching out to his gamer demographic with the Electronic Arts penned "Syndicate" (but not before a Korn collaboration to boot), then there is that Deadmau5 dude finding his inner chill with a ...
