So, we here at GIMME TINNITUS world headquarters are very excited for a full length album by Buke And Gass . The duo of Aron Sanchez and Arone Dyer play highly customized instruments to create a truly unique audio experience. Their sound has been described as "The Loudest Miniature Fuzz." To hear a much more expansive and weird description of the Buke And Gass sound, listen to the following Radiolab shorts podcast: Downloadable: The Loudest Miniature Fuzz (wnyc mp3) And if you want to know what all that hookworm talk is [...]

Voor de broodnodige paasdosis gitaarherrie: Proton Proton. Plates Major Solution Lock Picker Chinese Dancer

Proton Proton is a crazy ass band in Brooklyn bringing the rock back to indie rock. It's definitely not like all this weepy stuff that's been popular recently. It's dancey math punk not unlike Les Savy Fav but sparser with a touch of McLusky! Anyway, they've been moving up the circuit recently, scoring opening slots with Deerhoof and Les Savy Fav. Gotta love their instrumentation too - a guitar-bass hybrid and a toy piano? Proton Proton - Lock Picker Proton Proton - Chinese Dancer [...]

A few of my favorite things: independent music, drinking Brooklyn Lager, and, like, helping people and stuff. So lucky for me that tonight is Jezebelmusic.com's Annual Benefit Concert for Common Ground . It's at Northsix in Williamsburg and features a whopping eight bands for a mere fifteen bucks. The roster includes a bunch of artists I've never heard of (Black Bunny, Jaymay, Leah Siegel, Lowry), some whose names are familiar (Via Audio, Sexy Champions), and a few I'm actually vaguely knowledgeable about (Proton Proton, The Black Spoons), so anything can happen. But with that much music to [...]

First off, if you haven't listen to "Plates" by Proton Proton , head over... here and give it a listen 'cuz it friggin' rocks! Despite some technical problems early on, Proton Proton's set at the BrooklynBretta Music Festival rocked. The combination of pounding drums, gass (a bass with alternating guitar and bass strings), and toyagalactic piano is pretty unique. Here's a track with some of that toyagalactic piano... Download: "Aloha" (mp3) Myspace page is here .
So I never got around to mentioning that I was pissed I didn't get to experience the post-post-hardcore of Proton Proton over 4th of July weekend. (ASIDE: The now bass-less Motico rocked). Hopefully, I will be able to see Proton Proton here: BrooklynBretta Music Festival, 644 Sackett st. Park Slope, Brooklyn. Outdoor, from noon-9pm. w/ The Exeter Popes + Dawn Landes + Limbs + Americans + Villa
View original image I got turned on to Proton Proton a while back by Stasha from Pio Mazzotti . Every time I'd go in to her shop to buy picks or get my guitar fixed, she'd start playing their music. At the time I hadn't heard much about them from anywhere else, but apparently that sort of enthusiastic fandom is contagious. I saw Proton Proton play at the last Deli party at Asterisk (though I got locked outside for the first half of their set, grrr [...]
