Man. I wish I had time to type out some stories but I've barely got time to shit, shower and shave before heading back to work. I really went into this month's show with no plan and came out with, what I think, is a really rad show. There is a good mix between new and old, loud and louder and a cool cover of Faster Pussycat's "House Of Pain." So Imma shut up and you should press play: Track Listing: 01. The Eagles - Outlaw Man (Desparado) [...]

It's a short list this week so you can enjoy your loved ones this holiday! Thursday, December 20th & Friday, December 21st Murder City Devils, Street Eaters, The Mallard at Slim's Although still not an "active" band, Murder City Devils seem to happy to come visit us about once every 18 months. It's kind of [...]
We fell in love with LA based Criminal Hygiene the moment we heard them. It's garage punk rock at it's very best - plenty of dirt with just a little strange thrown in. We were so infatuated with their two singles, the rollicking "Black Water" (complete with perhaps the catchiest backing vocals of the year) and "Rearrange Me", that we asked James, Sean and Michael to make us a mix of songs they were influenced by when making their debut LP. GBV - "Over the Neptune/Mesh Gear Fox" The [...]
This Labor Day, I decided to give the list over to a close friend that knows exactly what you need to hear to get through a rough day at work. He should know, he's a bartender. So, I had this whole list planned for Labor Day songs. You know the list; songs [...]
For the first time in my short radio career I had to program a show last night despite not feeling very well. While the show (i think) turned out pretty good it was really tough to get inspired to search out much brand new music. I did manage to get some brand new songs from Denver's Bonnie and the Beard, Portland's Michael Dean Damron, Orlando's The Woolly Bushmen, Louisiana's Hurray For The Riff Raff and the internet's Noah with his "semi-viral" cover of LMFAO's "Sexy And I Know It." If that sounds like the good stuff [...]

To announce the departing of long time band member Jonnie Russell due to his desire to return to school the band has released 2 new tracks and 2 videos to introduce their new guitarist former Modest Mouse and Murder City Devil's guitarist Dann Gallucci. But really we should call it 1 1/2 new tracks since "Minimum Mistake" is more of a reprise for "Minimum Day". Both videos feature the free-form dancing of Julia Fenton with small glimpses of the new line up. The songs themselves are a little sub par for the band and are missing the [...]

Woot! Three months in a row! I think it’s fair to say I’ve gotten my groove back with the ninebullets podcast. This month’s show features the Ninebullets Radio/Ninebullets Podcast theme song written and performed by my buddy through music, Todd Ferrell. I’d love to know what y’all think of it. I think it has a solid Nashville Pussy feel to it and love it accordingly. The show also features the brand new Lucero track called "Sometimes" as well as new music from The Porter Draw , Greenland Is Melting [...]

"Every Day I Rise", the first new single from The Murder City Devils in over a decade was released last week by the band. The two track 73 was recorded this past summer and features the tunes "Every Day I Rise" and "Ball Busters In The Peanut Gallery". Pressed in an edition of 2000 copies, initial demand for the record was so high that the band has already had to repress, but it should be available again in mid-March on white & black marbled vinyl from the band's store for $5. Purchase of the [...]
Though you still might be able to snag a physical 73 of the first new music by the Murder City Devils in a decade down at Sonic Boom in Ballard, via the band's own online store they went like the proverbial hotcakes. (Or maybe weedcakes?) In "Every Day I Rise" Moody laments "Every day I [...]

Seattle punk rock crew Murder City Devils have toured the country sporadically since reuniting in 2006. Now, as 107.7 The End points out, the band has revealed their first pieces of new music in over a decade with the release of a two-song single. Recorded last summer in Southern California, "Everyday I Rise" and" Ball Busters in the Peanut Gallery" are now available digitally and as a limited-edition 73 vinyl (as you can see above) via the band's website . Right now, you can preview "Everyday I Rise" at 107.7 The End's website . The band's [...]

Not a whole lot to report here, but The Murder City Devils have announced their first new music in 10 years. The seminal rock band has a new single with two brand new tracks, recorded last summer, titled "Every Day I Rise" and "Ball Busters In The Peanut Gallery." The single is available to order physically here now and will be released digitally on iTunes next week. No word on whether this is a one off or whether this indicates more new music from The Murder City Devils.

I had a wordy, descriptive post planned for recommending Murder City Devils as a must see at Fun Fun Fun Fest 2011, then I came across this video from their 2007 performance..Let it speak for itself. A rare opportunity to see this great band. Murder City Devils play the Black Stage Friday 11/4 @ 7:20 p.m.

This band could be your life. Working the aesthetics of '80s blue collar punk rock, The Garrison's meat-and-potatoes snarl is reflective of the scene in which they play. For every Josh Krajcik/singer-songwriter opting for the open mic nights at clubs like Woodlands and Rumba Cafe, there's a half dozen noisy, guitar-rockers pounding out music that inspires fist-pumping and slam dancing in venues that require hazmat suits to enter the bathrooms. MP3: The Garrison - "Greely Chapel" Like thrash metal, there's a certain timeless [...]

What could be cooler than having a band write a song about you in tribute? Well, as long as the song is complimentary of course. Here's some toonage that fits the subject! Toonage: "Grant Hart" - The Posies "Strummerville"- Stiff Little Fingers "The Replacements" - Tommy Womack "Johnny's Gonna Die" - The Replacements (live July 1982)
Still one of music's best kept secrets, Austin's Fun Fun Fun Fest has been pulverizing ear drums for the past five years with a genre bending lineup mixing rock, metal, hip hop, and comedy.

Set for November 5-6 at Auditorium Shores, this year's edition also promises Rakim, Major Lazer, Okkervil River, Kid Dynamite, Flying Lotus, the [...]

Living in Florida there are somethings you come to accept. It is the heat and the humidity, some wise ass is gonna ask if it's "hot enough for you", hurricanes will form and weathermen will almost rub one out on screen warning you of them impending doom while never a stiff breeze even comes and odds are, some of the bands you love will never tour your state. Over the years I've logged I dunno how many thousands of miles in travel just to see rock and rolls with bands I know will never make it to Florida which brings [...]
