Strictly Ballroom - ...i love 7"

i've had this 7" waiting in the wings for god knows how long and for some reason am just now getting to posting it. oh well, sometimes you just have to wait for the right moment i guess.
Strictly Ballroom were a five piece out of Los Angeles between 94-99, only releasing a few 7"s and an lp before their subsequent demise. their sound echoes the time frame, discordant guitars and earnestly impassioned vocal whelps over a rythmically contained chaos.
it should be noted that singer Chris Gunst later went on to join The Beachwood Sparks, while bassist Jimmy Tamberelo went on to DNTEL, Figurine, and some little band called The Postal Service. this was their starting point, and strangely i think they started off pretty damn well.

Gods & Queens "Head To Wall"

kind of random here, but stumbled across this little gem this morning while browsing vlv. It turns out Gods & Queens have taken it upon themselves to cover Quicksand's "Head To Wall" from their monumental album Slip. I've listened to it now a few times, and goddamn if it's not an almost exact replica. Check it out.

Fugazi - Live Series Volume 1

Hey everybody, i'm not dead. neither is the blog. it's just been a busy life and sometimes the blog has to be put on the back burner, but as long as i live and breathe so does the idea behind this little space on the interwebz.
on to the jams.

I don't have to say a lot about fugazi, they are legendary, they are my favorite band, and will continue to be an inspiration to anyone who takes the time to listen.
recently dustin moved back to town and started me on a path of completion with the fugazi live bootleg series, i'm still slowly working my way through them, but with all the requests to hear them i feel like why not share the wealth.

since there's no better place to start than the beginning, Fugazi's first show it is.
Wilson Center, Washington DC September 3, 1987. It should be noted fugazi were a three piece on this recording.

enjoy yourself.
