Despite their relatively short career, US garage/psych band Fuck Knights could already be considered movers and shakers in the garage scene. Formed in 2007 they've so far landed slots supporting The Greenhornes, The King Khan and BBQ Show, Monotonix, Jacuzzi Boys and more, and have recorded an EP with The Monks' Gary Burger. It's hardly any wonder they're a fairly in-demand band either, as they're not content to simply emulate the past, instead preferring to push the genre on to pastures new. 'Let It Bleed' is the first full-length from Sir Gregory Fuck Knight and [...]

Rambos Three seems-as-if-we've-moved-into-t he-bearable-part-of-summer reasons to dress accordingly whilst heading on over to Panchos this evening... 1. Oh, it's gonna be a rocking one at Panchos. Firstly, Rambos will enthrall you with their sleek, drunken swagger. Sometimes they choose a slow burn to get their we're all singing at the same time message across while other times they seem to use the theme from Batman as the template. Either way, there are plenty of sea shanty sing-a-longs for y'all to, welp, sing-a-long to. [...]

Three say-did-you-hear-about-that-Pi tchfork-sounded-like-a-real-do ozy reasons to put all that colored stage jazz behind you and head to the friendly confines of the Empty Bottle tonight... 1. Well lookie here, it's our old friends the Fuck Knights . Not a Chicago band. No sir. These kids hail from Minneapolis, but they make the trek down here so often I'm willing to give them an honorary local band pin. Still riding high from their The Recorded By Gary Burger From The Monks EP, it appears the boys are about to spring another [...]

• Fuck Knights - 4-song Preview

Fuck Knights/G-Biz – Split! 12" EP Kinda cheating here adding this one to the Single Life column, but go with me. It works well here. First up is the Fuck Knights , about as idiotic and amateurish a band name as you're ever gonna find. And no surprise, the Fuck Knights play an intensely sloppy, lo-fi, fuzzed out splatter of garage punk. Oh, were my expectation set low when I dropped the needle on this spinning licorice pizza. Then --woah and behold!-- the Fuck Knights blew [...]

This looked like a show that I thought many might be interested in. Really? A show where you don't need to budget time for eating beforehand? Yes, please! Drinks, music, and variable local cuisine accompanied by some killer rock from Birthday Suits, The Guystorm, and Fuck Knights - mark your calendar for June 27 and Gastro [...]

Chicago electro-indie duo Coltrane Motion will release their new album, Hello Ambition! , on Tuesday, June 1, and will hit the road for a three week tour in support of the record beginning tonight at the Darkroom . Hello Ambition! is the band's second full-length release and is described by member Michael Bond in an e-mail as, "...somewhere between Yo La Tengo and LCD Soundsystem - lots of hazy shoegazer guitar over noisy dance rhythms." Sounds like a winner to me! Additionally, the new album features GD [...]

Three short-and-to-the-point-you-des erve-this-after-that-crappy-we ek-of-cold-and-overcast-weathe r reasons (yes, 3 solid ones this time, I promise) to saddle up and head on over to the Empty Bottle tonight... 1. Our friends from Minneapolis, the Fuck Knights are back in town to spazz out for your open-mouthed pleasure. I don't have to tell you that you read my review for their latest 73 . You did. Why wouldn't you? What I can tell you is that they have a new split 73 with The Runnies that I'm hoping to get my hands on tonight which brings [...]

I highlighted Minneapolis's Fuck Knights awhile back and described their very lo-fi/lo-tech approach to playing and recording their garage rock anthems. All those months ago showed the Knights stripped down sound to be both a product of their influences and their economic reality. In order to relocate to Minneapolis, drummer GD Mills sold most of his drum kit, leaving him with just a snare, floor tom, and crash cymbal. Guitarist Joe Hasting's style of playing with a pencil, which might seem like a nerdy reinterpretation of Jimmy Page's violin bow wielding prowess, is mostly about sparing [...]

Three reasons to go check out the Fuck Knights tonight at the Empty Bottle : 1. You like live music and the Fuck Knights are so confident in their live prowess that both of their EP's are live recordings. That takes balls, my friend. 2. The economy still sucks despite what Goldman Sachs is posting. The Fuck Knights now this. Their stripped down sound is both a product of their influences and their lack of funds. [...]
