I'm going to try and keep these documentary style installments coming. Part II is already done. Here's Part 1 of the what will be a Über trailer from a truly american shoegaze treasure as Jack puts it - The Sleepover Disaster . Long story short this is part of larger "non-musical" documentary project I work on called create or else about inspiration or at least that is how this started - I ended up with a ton of footage. So these are the musical fruits of which I intend to share all the great moments [...]
I grew up fishing with my step-grandfather on a lake in California for a few summers trolling for trout and playing in the mud as a kid. Every year the you'd have to walk down farther and farther to the boat because of the drought. Because of global warming i think that lake might be topped off by now. We stopped going to the lake after he passed away but will always treasure the boredom, eating balony and drinking cokes. It was not a very glamorous spot where the trailer was but it was a small fishing mecca and had [...]
Firesuite - You're An Ocean Deep, My Brother ALBUM REVIEW: Firesuite - You're An Ocean Deep, My Brother delivers on all sorts of levels. Imagine postal workers being let loose in an empty warehouse full of your unopened mail. With so many possibilities in these communications this band is here to make the rounds. Their stories are told through chilling guitar notes and none are spared during the assault of this shoegaze firestorm and a fire suit is indeed needed! The machine-gun tactics of the track "Sammy Davis [...]

There is something to be said about dedication and hard work and The Sleepover Disaster are the embodiment of such a feat. The Fresno, California-based three piece have hit their stride with their first nationally distributed release "Hover" after self releasing a number of critically acclaimed efforts and self booked tours criss-crossing the United States. The band's focus and effort have paid off with "Hover". Blending a rich mix of swirling, lush guitars that build a wall of sound that carries their intelligent lyrics over the top of a solid back beat, The Sleepover Disaster have taken it [...]
![[New MP3's] Adam Franklin, Baby Teeth, HC-B, The Sleepover Disaster](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1965059_lg.jpg)
Image From Here If you don't know Adam Franklin, then you should. Franklin was born in Essex, England and is most well known as the frontman/guitarist for one of the best 90's Shoegaze bands - Swervedriver. Along with his more recent solo work, he has also been a part of Toshack Highway and Magnetic Morning. Regarding his solo career, his debut release was Bolts Of Melody released in 2007. Bolts had Franklin returning to his Swervedriver roots and was full of the trademark sprawling, guitar heavy sound. A great album and [...]
[Have a safe holiday weekend. And raise a glass for birthday boy Robbie Robertson on Sunday.] Today: 'Tis the season ... for music outdoors. Among the many offerings around SoCal is a free concert series at Levitt Pavilion in Pasadena , where French songstress Emilie Simon [pictured] performs at 8 tonight. She's also at the Bootleg Theater on Sunday. ... There's Night 2 of the Hollywood Bowl July 4th Fireworks Spectacular too, with John Fogerty and the L.A. Phil. ... Also: [...]
Time for another mix, friends. I was aiming for a spring mix, and I think this accomplishes it, but it's not all flowery and laid back, but has a good amount of energy to it that I'm hoping will shape my spring. Strangelight Glow is what I call this mix, and here is the tracklist: 01. Death Cab For Cutie - My Mirror Speaks 02. Arcade Fire - Lenin 03. The Steelwells - Boxes [...]
[Wednesday evening trawling at SXSW ...] The Aimless Never Miss , the Sleepover Disaster (at the Independent) — These two San Francisco labelmates (Devil in the Woods) deserved a little better than the modest crowd that found its way to the off-the-beaten path Independent, but neither disappointed. TAMN's post-rock twist on shoegaze, with great loud/soft dynamics and arresting time signature changes, frames some pretty serious thematic content — all but lost in the [...]
So, just three days before we fly, and here is our tenth and final SxSW tip. Of course, I hope we'll be organised/sober/motivated enough to post from Austin, but no guarantees.Anyway, The Sleepover Disaster have been around awhile. On emusic you can download four different albums and eps from 2004 through to last year's effort, Hover. The first thing I liked about them was their name - we have

Behold! a few more songs we very like-to-love by artists scheduled to play at the South by Southwest Music Festival in Austin, Texas next month. Sorry about the generic titles this year for these SXSW posts. Last year it was Franglish and oh-so-chic. This year, well, as you see. (Fortunately it doesn't seem to affect the music.) Click song titles to play songs, artist names to go to their SXSW
Fol Chen , "Part I: John Shade, Your Fortune's Made" (today, Asthmatic Kitty) — As with his previous project Bedroom Walls and its self-christened genre appellation "romanticore," Adam Goldman remains just as much about creating mythos as music. Oh, he's still twee as heck, and every bit the art-schooler, only cleverer now. He goes by Samuel Bing, doesn't take band photos (he has worn masks onstage), spins his thematic material off a character from Vladimir Nabokov's intractable novel "Pale Fire" and chooses instrumentation like a collagist in a thrift store. As constructs go, Fol Chen is [...]
Photo: Rachael O. The new record from Fresno's The Sleepover Disaster will hit store shelves on February 10. The album is titled Hover and will be released on Devil In The Woods Records . The band will be performing at this year's SXSW as well as touring in support of Hover , making stops in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and other select locations. The record is already receiving some positive press. The Big Takeover 's very own Jack Rabid included [...]
These guys have been around since 1997, and come to us from Fresno, CA. Fans of shoegaze may like these guys as their music is heavily influenced by the shoegaze movement of the early 90's. mp3: The Sleepover Disaster- "Cathedral" official site: The Sleepover Disaster
Fresno, CA The Sleepover Disaster is suggested for anyone who loves shoegazey groups like Ride or My Bloody Valentine. The Oceanographer EP is available now. "Still Life" The Sleepover Disaster on MySpace
Spotlight Kid (thank Captain Beefheart for that name) was formed in 2005 by former Six by Seven band member Chris Davis and ex Bent member Katty Heath (vocals). The result is music right out of the 90's shoegazing world, think Lush, MBV and yeah you know the rest. The new release is titled "Departure" (Club AC30) and is well worth a listen. You can pick it up directly on iTunes if that is your gig. Also, Spotlight Kid's website was voted simplest but coolest band website of 2006 by the staff (me) of Mars Needs Guitars. [...]
