Freddie GIbbs On Yourstru.ly

I might be in danger of turning this blog into a Freddie Gibbs fan site but oh well. You gotta do what you gotta do right?

I just came across this video even though it came out a month or so ago. It only has 3k views so it's not like it TOTALLY played out or anything...

New Music Tuesday: Ra Ra Riot, !!!, Antony, S. Carey, Barb, Cotton Jones, Dylan LeBlanc, Magic Kids,

It would be irresponsible of me not to acknowledge the fact that ElectricMustache has pretty much been a train wreck for the last few weeks. And for that I am truly sorry. Is it going to get better? I hope so! Are we going to make any promises? Nope! But... I will try my best to get this totally bad ass list of new albums coming out every week. Sometimes even on Tuesday! Check out the list after the break, it is a pretty good week!

Photos: The Magic Kids, The Young Friends & Gospel Claws @ The Trunk Space

On nothing but the strength of the only two songs I could find from The Magic Kids I overcame my seething laziness and trekked on down to The Trunk Space last night. Knowing that The Young Friends and Gospel Claws were supporting didn't hurt the motivation factor either... because like to hear the music they play.

For your personal reference in case you totally ignored my post yesterday and didn't go, all three bands have their own spin on the booming genre of "post nouveau surf wave" (or whatever the shit it's called) made popular by internet famous band such as Girls, Wavves and or Surfer Blood. One thing I came to understand deep in my heart over the course of the night is this... The best and really ONLY place to listen to this "music type style" is live in a small intimate space. In a bigger venue I think it might feel forced and weird, but the Trunk Space it kinda feels like you are just hanging out watching your friends jam in a garage a block away from the beach after surfing all morning. That might (no, it definitely does) sound stupid but I don't care, that's how it made me feel and YOU can't tell ME how to feel!

Oddly enough this is my first trip back to The Trunk Space since having my ears melted at the Crystal Antlers show last year, and you know what? Throw a pair of earplugs in and things are not so bad, in fact I think I might be able to get used to it. And that is a good thing for me due to the basket load of goats worth of good bands lined up to play there over the next coming... forever I guess.

As for these pictures, the one thing The Trunk Space hasn't changed is the lighting, its fucking dark in there and that makes for some grainy/blurry ass pictures that I have attempted to save via Adobe Lightroom, so please forgive me if they burn your eyes out or something.

Tonight In Phoenix: The Magic Kids, The Young Friends, Gospel Claws @ The Trunk Space

Normally I wait till later in the day to post this kind of thing but I wanted to give you all plenty of time to make plans for tonight at the Trunk Space. The Magic Kids out of Memphis are playing tonight with a couple of my favorite Phoenix bands... The Young Friends and Gospel Claws. If the promise of three great bands in an intimate setting are not enough to motivate you this Wednesday night I also heard a rumor about possible "free PBR at bikini next door" just one though and you will have to negotiate this yourselves, I am not here to be your middle man dammit! So let's recap... 3 great bands, free beer, intimate setting and free beer. What the hells else are you going to do on a Wednesday night? Tickets are only $10 and you can get them HERE
