Dopo aver firmato per la Modular Records, gli australiani Pond pubblicheranno il terzo album ' Beard, Wives, Denim ' il prossimo 2 marzo in Australia (per UK/Europa dovremo aspettare fino al 5). Registrato nel 2010 poco prima del tour dei Tame Impala , l'altra band dove militano Nick Albrook e Jay Watson , 'Beard, Wives, Denim' è frutto di due settimane di sessioni in una vecchia fattoria . Dal soundcloud dell'etichetta è possibile ascoltare il brano ' Fantastic Explosion of Time '. ascolta Fantastic explosion of time [...]
We've been hearing about Australia's very own POND for some time now. They just released "Moth Wings," the second single from their upcoming record, Beard, Wives, Denim out March 6 on Modular Recordings. Dig it above. Has some balls eh?

One of the more neglected sounds in popular indie music (if there is such a thing) are those that take away from the hardcore funk and psychadelic movements of the late 80s and early 90s. In comes Pond to change that. Pond is comprised of members of Tame Impala that take some of their trippier moments and combine that with heavy basslines and in your face guitar licks. For those old enough, flashbacks to early Lenny Kravitz will instantly hit with the soulful, funky vocals on Moth Wings , not to mention [...]
No Age is offering fans a rare history lesson. Before forming their now acclaimed noise rock outfit, Randy Randall and Dean Spunt were members of this Los Angles punk trio, Wives. A previously unheard effort, The Roy Tapes is a means of shared celebration as Spunt's label, Post Present Medium celebrates 10 years. Before departing on what would be Wives' last tour Best Coast drummer, Bobb Bruno helped the band to record this final material. While No Age continues to exhibit more control over their obviously punk influenced roots, Wives can't say the same. The Roy Tapes is [...]

You can stream (and scrobble ) all the songs in this mix using the ex.fm player at the bottom of the page OR you can just download any or all of the tracks at your leisure and play them using a digital media player of your [...]

![California Wives | Tokyo [Audio]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3372450_lg.jpg)
With a name like California Waves you would assume this band would be from Cali, but this indie rock four piece hails from Chicago. This new band (they formed in 2009) have suddenly popped on our ones to watch list. Enjoy their spring themed tune, Tokyo . California Wives - Tokyo
Chicago-based four piece California Wives have a new single "Tokyo" available for mp3 download, as they prepare to tour down to SXSW for a number of performances. "Tokyo" was created in between different stages of the band's writing process. Agreeing that it fit neither on their well received 2010 EP, Affair, or their forthcoming album, [...]
Nosaj Thing was in 40 Bands 80 Minutes with Wives, HEALTH and Abe Vigoda and then followed madman visionaries like Flying Lotus and Gaslamp Killer to Low End Theory . He now joins half the next generation of L.A. beatmakers on Daddy Kev's Alpha Pup Records with his debut full-length Drift . This interview by Chris Ziegler.
Bob Mould was the guitarist and singer of Hüsker Dü and Sugar before striking out on his own solo career and Dean Spunt and Randy Randall are the L.A. duo No Age. We asked them to interview each other after they played NoisePop together and before they both played Coachella. This is the complete version of this interview.

Before Dean Spunt and Randy Randall were No Age , they were part of the LA punk band WIVES . And since seemingly everyday there is new talk of seminal bands reuniting to make some extra cash... er, I mean, answer the call of their fans, we'd like to suggest the reformation of the band that made this one-minute and thirty-five second gem. Originally released on Cold Sweat Records , the song "Babies" was from the bands 1995 debut - and only full length [...]
Los Angeles duo No Age was born out of ashes of another band - Wives, which featured drummer Dean Spunt and guitarist Randy Randall as well as drummer Jeremy Villalobos, who went on to play with bands Drunkdriver and Whip & The Body. Their name is based on a title of late 80s compilation of instrumental [...]

Not to take an overly narcissistic turn here, but today is your blogmaster's 24th birthday. As it just so happens, one of my favorite bands - I'm sure you can guess who - has a song that mentions being 24, which also happens to be the only song that immediately comes to mind that sings about being 24. So, in the spirit of turning 24, I share it with you. If anyone can think of any other songs that mention being 24, please do share. Two Gallants: "The Prodigal Son" (download) [...]
