Saturday begins not so much where Friday left off, as in the excrement of the day's overindulgence as talk of hangovers, hangups, comedowns and all other manner of ill ensures the day can be acutely equated to a more conventional festival malarkey. And Blue Hawaii transpire to be a refreshing tonic to all that inanity, Raphaelle Standell-Preston and Alex "Agor" Cowan putting in an accelerant set on next to no sleep. It begins with perfect respite provided by a gloopy Follow drenched in dark, and the duo sound as though they've come to terms with their live performance [...]
It's Friday, it's day two of this year's The Great Escape, and I'm mercifully awoken by the patting of a vexed train conductor as we trundle back into Brighton. Up, if not yet at 'em I'm stirred further by strummed susurrations of jarring guitar and bracing billows of jangle. The seaside's alive with the sound of music, but when heard so early it's not all entirely pleasurable. Lawrence Arabia is just that though, and although he may be named James Milne and in fact hails from New Zealand as opposed to the dunes of southwestern [...]

Auteurs récents d'un premier album surf pop ultra rafraichissant et gorgé de soleil, les Allah Las ne s'arrêtent plus de faire tourner les têtes, et se lancent à la conquête des scènes européennes après avoir écumé les salles nord-américaines le mois dernier en compagnie des Black Angels . Avant d'attaquer les festivals estivaux, et alors qu'ils s'apprêtent à poser leurs valises à Paris pour un concert au Nouveau Casino le 21 mai qui s'annonce déjà comme la meilleure manière de commencer l'été en beauté, il convenait de cuisiner un peu le bassiste du combo californien. Toujours sur [...]
The quintessentially Californian four-piece kept the sun shining long after it had set in the Mission.
By this time next week, we'll already have (albeit only ephemerally) relocated to Barcelona for day upon day of decadent overindulgence and musical extravagance, for this year's edition of the quintessential left field festival, Primavera Sound , is now upon us. I can practically taste the Estrella Heineken fizzling away at the rear of my palette and, truth be known, the way this British springtime's currently panning, out I'm almost relishing the prospect of inevitable sunburn. Almost... Storms are currently forecast for the week though that can't be right, right..? Anyhow – as is so often our wont [...]

It's a testament to the almighty brawn of this year's The Great Escape billing that our beloved likes of Allah-Las , Darkstar , Roosevelt , Sean Nicholas Savage , and so on and so forth weren't in with even so much as a shout as we concisely round up our essential picks from next month's Brighton shebang. For contrived as it may, and indeed doubtless will sound, the UK's leading metropolitan festival has well and truly outdone itself with its programming for the coming edition. The full line up for it can be encountered here , although [...]

Con su disco homónimo de 2012, estos muchachos demostraron con qué facilidad puede un artista desprenderse de la gran oleada de pretensiones vintage que a diario se incrementan en todas las ramas artísticas. Con la esencia necesaria para llevar la chapa occipital norteamericana, este cuarteto oriundo de Los Angeles ofrece el más puro aire californiano procesado con la base del típico rasguido surfer de los 60s, mientras una primera guitarra se luce y disfruta de estremecer todo con la estridencia necesaria para que la voz a veces esté de más. ALLAH LAS: 'No Voodoo' [...]

Short films of the musical variety today come from Pickwick and their genre bending video for the brilliant Lady Luck , and some classic Americana from Turnstile Junkpile. A European jaunt is the scenic backdrop for one of our new favourite bands Allah-Las and their video for Sacred Sands, which is another brilliant slice of West Coast inspired psych-rock. Lastly, some classic jangle-pop from Ski Lodge and their video for new single Just To Be Like You . . [...]
The Allah-Las have brought a new video to light! The four-piece used to work at Hollywood's Amoeba Records shop, where they actually met. They are supported by Primal Scream's Bobby Gillespie and are receiving rave reviews by critics and audience... READ MORE
İsimleri ile dikkat çeken Allah-Las; 2012 yılında çıkıp, 60'lar tadını veren ve dinleyen herkeste tuhaf bir bağımlılık yaratan bir grup. Zaten Guardian onlar için "60'lar İngiltere'sine California güneşi açmış gibi" diyor. Uzun yolcularda "ne tür müzik iyi gider" diyorsanız. Cevabı kesinlikle Allah-Las. Bu grubu mutlaka dinleyin, çünkü hastası olacaksınız. Ayrıca Allah-Las, daha çok insan tarafından tanınmaya başlanırsa, ismi nedeniyle Türkiye'de haber bültenlerine konu olacaktır. İsmini, cismini bilmem ama, bu çocuklar on numara müzik [...]
Allah-Las Album: Self-Titled ( review ) Facebook | Twitter
Auréolé d'un premier album éponyme plus que remarqué (2012, Innovative Leisure Records ), à la patine surf-pop inoxydable, les quatre Allah-Las enquillent les dates de concert comme d'autres enchaînent les pintes. L'occasion pour eux de filmer leur tumultueux périple - notamment en Europe - et d'en faire des clips - avec des copains, comme Jacco Gardner - et de s'en servir pour annoncer de futures dates, dont le 21 mai prochain au Nouveau Casino à Paris. L'occasion aussi de ressortir la face B de leur gracile single Tell Me - nimbé de ce soleil Californien [...]

Allah-Las - Sacred Sands video Filmed by: Pedrum Siadatian allah-las.com Edited by: Robbie Simon California psych-surf foursome Allah-Las just went live with their new video for "Sacred Sands" and it is a fuzzy 8mm retrospective to satisfy your midday wanderlust.
Austin, TX psych rock outfit The Black Angels are playing Georgia Theatre Thursday with Allah-Las and Elephant Stone , and we've got a pair of tickets to give away. The Black Angels are killer live, Allah-Las were on my SXSW list but I wasn't able to catch them, and I've heard good things about Elephant Stone. Solid bill all around. Fun fact: The Black Angels took their name from The Velvet Underground [...]
