A banda americana The Bellrays , que se consagrou pela mistura do rock de Garagem com umas pitadas de soul nos vocais, se apresenta em São Paulo na próxima semana. Surgida em 1990 e com 10 albums em sua discografia, a banda invade o Clash Club para trazer seu som cheio de influências tradicionais como Led Zeppelin, Ramones, entre outros, mas sem perder a veia da black music. Saca só uma prévia do que vai rolar: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQQ4ZT dhJDg [...]

You know what's on this week? Nothing! Nada. Zip. Diddly. Bupkis. So I suggest you go to the movies, read a book, sit outside in the sun (if it lasts) or whatever the fuck else it was I used to do before getting so sucked into the world of music. There's The Bellrays at Cabaret Voltaire on Thursday, I guess, but I have only ever heard a song or two by them I've really been into. I think the real highlight of the week will be the Live Lounge at the Electric Circus [...]
This list, like hopefully today's traffic, will be holiday weekend light: ► Red Sparowes (pictured), Night Horse , Radio Moscow and Ides of Gemini join other bands at Tee Pee Records' second annual New Weird America Festival at the Nomad Gallery (1993 Blake Ave.). It kicks off at 2. ► Hootenanny goes off at Oak Canyon Ranch in Irvine, with Dropkick Murphys, John Doe, Reverend Horton Heat, Murder City Devils and more. ► Hall & Oates hit the Hollywood Bowl for an evening complete with a fireworks [...]
SXSW . Magnífico festival con casi 2000 bandas, pero al cual no fuimos invitados. El año pasado tuvimos un mixtape bastante decente , y le atinamos a varias bandas que reventaron durante los siguientes 12 meses. En esta ocasión no tendremos tanta suerte. Seguro. Hoy traemos 9 canciones de bandas que nunca habíamos programado por aquí (o en el caso de BellRays , hacía rato no se asomaban en este espacio), pero que esperabamos ver durante el festival. Paila, no se pudo ir. Tocó contentarse con esto. [...]
Top shows to consider while setting aside time this morning for Warpaint's appearance on KCRW's "Morning Becomes Eclectic: ► Literature and music collide at a charity event at the Bootleg Theater — Scottish rockers Biffy Clyro will perform, and author Mark Z. Danielewski will read from his 2006 novel "Only Revolutions," which inspired the trio's album of the same name. A Q&A session and a signing will follow, all proceeds benefiting L.A.-based Homeboy Industries , an organization that helps at-risk youth and former gang members. Presented by SPIN magazine and Skylight [...]

[Sunset Junction, other Junction functions, shows by legends and a show by Legend, shows in massive amphitheatres and shows by people with egos the size of amphitheatres — what a weekend. When am I going to find time to celebrate Serj Tankian's birthday?] Once through the weekend, real ... slow ... like: Friday highlights: ☛ Crowded House [pictured] plays downtown's Club Nokia behind its [...]

A Roswell reindeer. I barely escaped with my life. Whoa, so, like, what is it about Chrimbo that makes folks do alien things? Like, drink appalling concoctions such as Baileys, eggnog, and gingerbread lattes. Or spend mind-numbing hours packed into sickening malls along with thousands of others? Or think that a Chia Obama makes the perfect gift?? It must be them space reindeer. Once they lull us into a holiday stupor, they'll laser us with their shiny noses and use us as fodder [...]
House music in Buzz Bands' house? Occasionally. Especially when it's as wildly eclectic as Basement Jaxx , the U.K. duo of Felix Buxton and Simon Radcliffe. The twosome has returned with "Scars," theirs sixth album and best since 2004's "Kish Kash," featuring all kinds of four-on-the-floor flavors and an impressive lineup of guests, including Yoko Ono, Kelis, Sam Sparro and, notably, Bellrays siren Lisa Kekaula. There's also Lightspeed Champion , aka Dev Hynes, who's out in front on the sweet "My Turn." The video, in all its dancing-bear glory, is the work of Tomek Ducki [...]
Zombieland comes out tomorrow and I am psyched. The Nomad clan will be seeing the matinee on Saturday and we can't wait! It can't be as good as the two greatest "funny" zombie movies ever ( Shaun Of The Dead and The Passion Of The Christ ), but I am sure it will be kick ass. The zombies in Zombieland don't follow the " Romero rules " (ie- slow, shuffling ambulatory sacks of meat). On the other hand, Woody fucking Harrelson is the star. And unless [...]
In case you missed it, the masked Italian duo, The Bloody Beetroots recently unleashed their first LP, Romborama , a 20-track melting pot of arduous beats and synth. Artists featured on the LP include The Cool Kids , Steve Aoki , Lisa Kekaula (of the BellRays) , Cécile and others. So, what does shrimp, lobster, shark and craw fish have to do with the Beetroots? It is simply a line from their track "Awesome" - which can single-handedly describe the album. Hard Fest describes them as the love child of the Misfits [...]

photo credit: Emmy Etie Being the music junkie that I am, I always love to find out about amazing music I didn't know about! Such is the case with The BellRays - a hard-rocking and soulful group that has at its core Bob Vennum and Lisa Kekaula who- as a couple have been performing for over 20 years! I found out about the BellRays and their upcoming show at the Picador from Tom "Morst" Scharff who is among other things the archivist for Cracker and its associated bands. The BellRays are related to [...]
I made this... So Dearest Wife whips up a batch of lovely gingerbread homunculi, which she and the Delightful Children decorate in a manner appropriate to the season. At my request, they leave me a couple to embellish. After all, it's the family togetherness wot makes this time of the year special, right?? My first attempt results in a rather unconvincing zombie; it was hard to get the exposed brain just right. But my second baked golem turns out rather better; Dearest Friends, I give you the anatomically (more-or-less) [...]
Ryan (StopMe) : I've just finished reading Bryan Talbot's engrossing 'Alice In Sunderland' (Nice how it syncs up in part's with Channel 4's unmissable current drama about the English Civil War called 'The Devil's Whore') and I'm now fully ceased of the idea that Sunderland is the greatest cultural focal point in all Christendom! I haven't just been reading though, I've also been listening and here's ten things my ears were enjoying: If like me, you loved Fisherspooner's first album (But thought everything they've released since then has been a big pile of [...]

In this hour, we whet our appetites with a tale of three men, hunkered and blown by the vicious Tropicane Fay .
