Sometimes things are lo-fi because people like to use old equipment, sometimes because they just prefer the sound, and sometimes because, as seems to be the case here, the whole business was thrown together quickly as a bit of a lark. This is whatever you'd a call a combination of supergroup, side project, imaginary band and a bit of good-natured fucking around. Ben and Mark from Brown Brogues join Luke from Sex Beet and Jerry Tropicano for a what turned out to be a weekend of writing and recording, and this is [...]
"Wallet Droppin'" EP by Toto & The Bad Eggs Our London friends from punkslime have literately unleashed a monumental new band called Toto & The Bad Eggs feat. Jerry Tropicano, Luke (Sex Beet), Mark and Ben (Brown Brogues) with a blazing surf fuzz psychedelic sonic trash garage 4 track ep called Wallet Droppin' for FREE and is HOT HOT HOT
Fucking FINALLY, you guys. First of all, I am terrible at keeping secrets. I almost once ruined N.I.N's final show at the Echoplex by telling someone, so you'll be incredibly impressed that I kept Toto & The Bad Eggs a secret for so long. I can only call Toto & The Bad Eggs a super group as it's Jerry Tropicano on improvised vocals, Mark ( Brown Brogues ) on guitar with Luke ( Sex Beet ), and Ben [...]
Keen readers of the blog will recognize every single one of these names playing on August 23rd , this coming Tuesday, at White Heat @ Madame Jojos in London . Sex Beet , Jerry Tropicano and The Castillians are absolutely three of my favorite garage-rock bands that come out of the UK. I have seen Jerry once, and was suitably impressed and have a long documented love of seeing Sex Beet live, as they never disappoint. But, really, it's Birmingham's the [...]
Sex Beet are a band from London who have spent the past year touring Europe and America with bands such as Best Coast, Strange Boys, Thee Oh See's, Wavves, and The Black Lips . They're due to be recording their debut album with King Khan in the next couple of months. They are shortly going back out on tour and have sent round this track, Dreams , a demo from the album to celebrate. And a fuzzed up, hypnotic cracker it is too - in fact this one is so downright sleazy, you'll want [...]
It's been all quiet on the Sex Beet front recently, but they sent over this album demo and I can't help but share. Speaking of albums, they're going to Berlin this summer to record with the almighty King Khan which will probably result in the most absurdly amazing album ever. 'Someday' is, to use such [...]
Sounding like a lo-fi modern take on '70s slacker rock, London-based lads Sex Beet ( originally from Leicester) new tune Alone (available as a split LP with Human Eye) is for people who haven't shaved for a week, and who still think it's cool to carry cigarette packets in the sleeve of their rolled-up tee. It still is cool to do that. Sex Beet - Alone ( mp3 )
Another super 7" on the garage bands series of Scion A/V ... Super London trio Sex Beet with Detroit's Human Eye ... free download Scion A/V Garage: Human Eye / Sex Beet by ScionAV
Got damn, I cannot believe it's the end of March. I say that every month, but March is for sure my favorite month. As everyone in the fucking world knows, its SXSW and it was the greatest time. Here's some of the best stuff I heard this month. 01 TRMRS - Zombie Party 02 Sex [...]
Coming straight outta the London is the sexy Sex Beet . I've been eyeballing-and eardrumming-these lads for about a year now, and they keep getting noisier (noisier = better). The trio just birthed an otherworldly little monster called "Alone" for a split 7-inch with Detroit's Human Eye (via Scion A/V), and it's one of their best (best = noisiest) and catchiest yet. Sex Beet has been making their rounds, becoming the go-to opener for Wavves, Best Coast and Thee Oh Sees and dropping a rightfully noisy cover of Sonic Youth's "Dirty Boots" earlier [...]
Scion A/V are releasing another 73, in a series of great split singles featuring great garage bands, and this time it is with Human Eye and NRBW uber-favs Sex Beet. The bands are no strangers to each other, as they've played Scion/Vice curated shows in Austin and NYC, so this all works really well together. [...]
Okay. So you know we adore Sex Beet. There's nothing like crazy people who love the same music as me, making noisy, fucking rocking, catchy, grating songs with tons of shouting. And they're playing up in Birmingham on the 5th of March. But more importantly, this lineup is RIDICULOUS. If you haven't gotten on the [...]
This week's show is packed full of surf-punk, post-rock and IDM experimental electronica with music from London's SEX BEET with their cover of SONIC YOUTH's 'Dirty Boots' - albeit very distorted. WOMEN with their latest amidst the rumours of split, 'Bullfight' - Brighton post-rock with NORDIC GIANTS ' 'Seed' (ft Jake Reid) as well as fresh new Australian post-rock band LEAGUES with the title track from their debut EP 'Small Leaf'. Jose Gonzalez' main band JUNIP picks up a remix from the one of Guillermo Scott Herren's many aliases, PREFUSE 73 [...]
Shea Stadium in Brooklyn has been recording everyone who passes through their doors to play for a while now, and the website they promised to let us all hear that stuff is now live, holla! Since they've hosted NRBW favorites like The Babies, Beach Fossils, Eternal Summers, Ducktails etc, I thought I would just point [...]
The dead of winter is no fun, especially when you're dealing with massive blizzards, chilling temperatures, and the Giants out of the playoffs. Despite the lineups and rumors, festivals seem so far away and our next big holiday is what? President's Day? That's no fun. This is where our Friday Mixtape comes in. New music always kicks ass, but it's even better when fending off the winter blues. Christmas is 11 months away? Psshh... check out new music from Bright Eyes, Social Distortion, and The Radio Dept. instead. Plus, we have a wonderful assortment of covers, compliments of [...]
