The reunited "classic lineup" of Guided By Voices just played a new song, The Unsinkable Fats Domino, on Letterman. The song is the first single off the band's new album Let's Go Eat the Factory . It features Robert Pollard's mid-90s lineup, which produced two of the best GBV offerings,  Bee Thousand and Alien Lanes. After an initial listen, the new album sounds pretty good. More on that later. Nice recovery by guitarist Greg Demos, who took a spill on stage. It's certainly not the first [...]

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , New Music , Holy Hell , Television Cory Schwartz, Getty Images One thing you can't call a Guided by Voices performance is dull. The influential lo-fi rockers may have aged a bit, but their shows still feature the same high kicks, chain smoking and tequila swilling that we've come to know and love. While the studios of ' The Late Show With [...]

Ohio's finest, Guided By Voices are to return in the guise of their very first incarnation, a brand new Matador Records -released single in hand. Following on from last year's reunion at the label's 21st birthday bash in the hedonistic haven of Las Vegas, new material from Robert Pollard, Tobin Sprout, Mitch Mitchell, Greg Demos and Kevin Fennell (aptly out November 21st) finally got spewed out by the internet. We Won't Apologize For The Human Race features on the flipside, while The Unsinkable Fats Domino hogs the A-side, and a mammoth slab of [...]

After a year back together touring, Guided by Voices have announced plans to release a new album early next year. It's the kind of news lo-fi slacker lovers the world over have been waiting for (so much so it almost makes up for the lack of a new Pavement album, following their reunion tour last year). News comes via Robert Pollard's website and the "classic" GBV lineup of Pollard, [...]

Big news out today from Guided by Voices - Bob Pollard and the reunited classic lineup have announced that they have a new LP due, out New Year's Day 2012. "The lineup of Pollard, Tobin Sprout, Greg Demos, Mitch Mitchell, and Kevin Fennell have recorded a brand new album called Let’s Go Eat The Factory, their first since 1996′s Under The Bushes, Under The Stars, and they’re going to release it on New Years Day. We’ve got that album’s tracklist below." (via MOJO ) As a longtime GBV fanboy, I'm stoked to [...]

Lots of love flowing at last week's Guided by Voices show in Portland, OR. Looks like it was one sweaty affair, as the video below shows a drenched shirt of Robert Pollard, reflecting his violent pace. The clip shows the reunited band's last encore with the classic drinking ballad 'Johnny Appleseed' and then the mighty 'Weed King'. I can't believe I'll get to see one of the shows on this tour, thanks to some kind-hearted pals. I thought I'd be living the moments on YouTube only, but in a few weeks time I'll be shooting eastward [...]

Wow! Coming on stage around 12:30am Monday morning, there were no tired eyes showing from Robert Pollard and Guided by Voices, who pumped out one helluva rock n roll show at the Matador at 21 fest in Las Vegas . I tweeted last night about "Lethargy" and was able to find a clip of it shot by YouTube user supmag - it was one of many highlights during the set for me. Apparently, the set will be restreamed today - not sure when - click over to Myspace for more [...]

So over the weekend, I watched the new Robert Pollard/GBV retrospective DVD " The Devil Went Home and Puked " and wrote down everything I saw. It's perhaps the ideal way to 'review' such a scrappily-thrown together DVD. There are a lot of fun things in this video, but when you pull back the curtain, there are a few slippery bits. The video is really edited together like GBV's early mix 'n montage LPs that worked so well in audio, but I'm not convinced it's the best format to present a bit of GBV and Pollard's history. [...]
