But you get to looking at it and you see contrasts, textures, spacing, and other things enhanced by a simple direct approach, things that get lost in a mess of images and muscular "creativity." This is the rule of less is more. Apply it to rock & roll and it is a rule that Austin's <b>Spray Paint</b> lives by. Following in the grand tradition of Wire, the Urinals, and the Icky Boyfriends, Spray Paint takes rock & roll and minimizes it to a few ungrandiose riff perfectly placed, catchy and energetic. Spray Paint puts all what is needed into a song and nothing more. It is an approach which made for a great debut single (on S.S. and sold out quickly) and an even better follow up. <br />
<br />
Spray Paint's Spock Fingers b/w Pink Pus 7" is their second record and is even better than the first. Spock Fingers is riled up, punk energy in a wire-frame, wearing a spikey hat. Pink Pus is a mid tempo grumbling tumbler. Both songs are excellent and housed in a spray painted and stamped sleeve, in a limited run of 300 and on S.S. Records. <a href="http://s-srecords.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=1415">Order here!</a><br />

In fact the city woke up on Dec 31 with the news of a dead topless woman hanging from a bridge in one of the main avenues...” <br />
<br />
Thus begins one of the dozens of emails from Monterrey, Mexico’s Los Llamarada to S.S. Records during the recording of their third and final album, Gone Gone Cold. Since their first album on S.S., The Exploding Now!, Llamarada has made some of the most striking psychedelic punk of the last decade. In the spirit of Red Crayola and 13th Floor Elevators, Llamarada approach to psych is devoid of rules, trends, or convention. Like Mars, they feel their way through sound, finding songs in the playing. However, while The Exploding Now! and their second album, Take the Sky, reflect the band’s (then) excitement with their future and possibility, Gone Gone Cold looks at present day Mexico and its never-end Drug War. <br />
<br />
On Gone Gone Cold, fans of Los Llamarada will hear their oft-noted claustrophobic no-fi sound, but the songs a less settled than before. Confusion trumps structure, until a riff or pulse builds in intensity and the song enters into panic. Or a song starts at a panicked pace and unravels into a single phrase. There still is the subverted surf-guitar and male/female chant/vocals, but the drums are stronger and keyboards more insistent – sounds desperate for a way out. <br />
<br />
“They hanged some rival gang members from pedestrian bridges, some dead, some alive (those were shot). Other was hanged and burned. Those kind of things happened on broad daylight, and were seen by friends on their way home from work. The police usually keep a respectful distance and do nothing…The chief of security of one of the last remaining rock bars was also killed, a guy who we all knew and who had helped us in one way or another. He was shot along with two other guys, and the bodies were stolen. The bar closed after that and it has stayed that way. The owner fled to the USA, as some other people has done. So now there are almost no places to play.” <br />
<br />
Some song titles: “He Was Killed,” “There is No Ending,” “All Gods Collapse,” “Inside the Fire.” The lyrics are just as much poetry as they are song lyrics – frustrated, enraged, and depressed, but also defiant. As much as Gone Gone Cold is Los Llamarada’s mirror of Mexico and their besieged hometown of Monterrey, it is also an assertion of noise over death and of art over war. Packaged in Stoughton “old style” tip-on sleeves, Los Llamarada’s Gone Gone Cold is the best psychedelic reaction to war since Red Crayola’s “War Sucks.”<br />
<br />
“The latest news! The army is now searching houses at random. They ask for permission first; I don’t think anybody has said no. They don’t break or steal things... they just look around and ask questions. They haven’t been here yet, but I’ve already cleaned the house!”<br />

<br />
So the <strong>Michael Yonkers/Blind Shake</strong> album and <strong>Los Llamarada</strong>'s third album are now in the test press process. I should get them tomorrow and then when approved, hopefully I will have something for you by the end of the month. I am really excited with these two records. To me the represent the ying & yang of modern psych punk. Yonkers & the Blind Shake mix a Blue Cheer style blast with a Von Lmo spin. Llamarada comes from the school of Red Crayolla/13th Floor Elevators "there are no rules"/"find our way as we play" school of psychedelia. And unlike a lot of bands flogging the psych horse, both groupings have their own unique sounds.

The emails aren't viruses or trojans, just annoying. The address harvested from other email accounts. Anyway, it sent a lot of my emails straight to spam filters so it is time to change things up. These mailings will now be sent out from the address of <strong>s.srecords @ yahoo . com</strong> If you want to keep getting these emails, please make sure that that address is not filtered out by whatever spam program you use. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I still will be using the old address for correspondence and will always have something in the subject line even if it is only "Hey".</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Also the new catalog site is up and running at <a href="http://s-srecords.com/catalog" target="_blank">http://s-srecords.com/catalog</a> If you have used it or tried to use it and have had <strong>any</strong> problems, please contact me. For those overseas ordering: I am still fine tuning the post for international orders. If the post seems high when you go to check out, don't give up! After I process the order, if the post charged exceeds what it cost me to ship, I will be refunding you $$$. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">That is about it. Except: New album by John Wesley Coleman III is in! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The newest Sublime Freqencies release is a great DVD/BOOK/CD by Olivia Wyatt called "Staring at the Sun," it is a film and document of a journey through Ethiopia and visits with 13 tribal groups. Stunning stuff the trailer is below. </span><br />
<br />

LENZ tread that line between punk, rock, and glam and remind me a bit of a lot of obscuro 70s glam acts like David Werner and Dorian, but brought into the now. Loved their set....3 Toed Sloth were are great treat. I really didn't know what to expect, even though I've heard them on record. Shambling one part punk rock in the vein of Wire, Flipper, Fall, without sounding like any of them...I've seen Nar at least a hundred times and count that as a top five Nar set, which is pretty amazing considering that they started 20 or so years ago and hadn't played in quite a while. Great....I've only seen the Mantles a few times but that was definite the best. Perfect way to end this weekend.........</span><br style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;" /><br style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">All in all this thing went remarkably well. Great group of people at the shows, every band played a stellar set and that is no hype, great sound, good vibe, and even the weather cooperated. feedtime were better than expected and as good as they were that was topped by how great they and their kin are! The nicest, most genuine people you'd wanna meet and that includes Bruce Aberrant. All the other Aussie who came over were also great and even had a friendly Norwegian in our midst, not to mention folks for New York and Rhode Island. Oh and some schmucks from Utah. The two other real surprises were 3 Toed Sloth (as noted) and Conan & the City Boys (raved about elsewhere). </span><br style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;" /><br style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Anyway, thanks to all of you who came out for this. Thanks to the bands who played. Thanks to Vinnie, Brace & the City Boys for making the Mission the Heart of the City. Thanks to Mitch, Dulcinea, and Ryan for advice, help, and making it easier. And thanks to Tony at the Hemlock and Ramona at BOTH. When in San Francisco visit Explorist International on 24th Street in the Mission. </span>Scott Sorianohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00518992302988786999noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3175813813025355644.post-6457432111435143912011-05-22T10:06:00.000-07:002011-05-22T10:18:49.397-07:00SS10 Day 2 Report & Plug for Day 3SS10 Day 2 report aka Of course I am biased but....Wounded Lion started things off with a great great set. Seriously one of the best bands going. Add Raffi to the list of dancing men I would pay to see...Best Nothing People set I've seen yet, hands down. Feedback drenched midnight pop perfect to bring an end to the rapture....Lamps are like one of those playful punches that someone gives you from about a foot away. A short, sweet shock and last night, that is exactly what happened. Again another top gig...feedtime, damn! These guys are the nicests dudes you will ever meet, but sound so gnarly and brutal. They pretty much bulldozered the club. Absolutely met expectations. Great band, then and now!<br />

Charles Albright's trio pounded out a great set of overdriven punk rock. Imagine some teenager holed up in his room studying Blue Cheer records and then placed in front of a garage punk band. Hank IV was fantastic! They really set the Aussies' in a frenzy. Really, one of the best SF bands going and, besides, Mike Lucas, Bob is the only man I would pay to dance for me. The rapture came and it was Liquorball. Holy fuck! The amount of sound generated by Grady, Doug, and Marlon is mind-boggling, but not quite as insane as the drumming of Ttttch. Part monster, part machine, the dude is The Best. And the A Frames once again killed it. They played every song, you want to hear and then some. The feedtimers were in shits & giggles over them. One of the best bands ever. A very fitting end to a very great band! Thanks to those of you who came out.</span></span></h6><h6 class="uiStreamMessage" data-ft="{"type":"msg"}" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="messageBody">Tonight, feedtime, Lamps, Nothing People, and Wounded Lion.
