Saw the band last night while visiting Portland.  Great show, highlights being a sterling cover of Zappa’s “Trouble Every Day” and “Are You Gonna Be There (at the Love-In)?”  I hope they keep the light show for future shows!

Hailing from the small city of Castel Goffredo in Northern Italy, trio Bee Bee Sea have been cranking out spirited garage-psych for a few years now. The group’s new album is called Sonic Boomerang and will be out November 17 via Dirty Water Records USA and Wild Honey Records. Pre-order: http://hyperurl.co/beebeesea

Bee Bee Sea - This Dog Is The King Of Losers

Besides the bus station and football club, Preston hasn’t had
much to offer to the world for a long time….until now. Step
forwards THE COMMON COLD, the best band you are likely
to see and hear all year.
Formed by two friends Ajay Saggar and Mark Wareing, the duo
had served time in legendary Peel favourites “Dandelion
Adventure” many moons ago. Two years ago they took to the
stage for the first time together nearly after 30 years to play a
set of psych jams. Leading on from another similar encounter
the year after, the whole experiment moved forwards another
giant step when Ajay wrote all the music, and Mark wrote the
words to a set of songs that are now to see the light of day in
April 2018.

Their new album is titled “Shut Up! Yo Liberals!” and will be
released on legendary Preston label Action Records (who
released albums by The Fall, The Boo Radleys, and Dandelion
Adventure) on Monday 9 April. It’s a stunning debut that sees
the band drink from the same magick musical fountain as The
Fall, Kaleidoscope, Neu!, Quicksilver Messenger Service, and
yet retain their own style.

Featuring a double drummer attack (the recording features
former members of Cornershop and Pram), the songs propel
forwards with a crisp crunch, but giving enough space to the
heavy melodies that spin in your head all day long. The lyrics
are intelligent, funny and acerbic and take the listener on a
fantastic journey. “Shut Up! Yo Liberals” is a direct and
uncompromising document of The Common Cold’s deep,
personal connections to the North West’s musical heritage
mixed with Mark’s years of immersion in underworld literature
from William Burroughs through to Hubert Selby,Jr.

Only 300 copies of the vinyl will be released and the first 100
copies include a hand painted inner sleeve, a free badge, and
other goodies (https://www.actionrecords.co.uk)

Shut Up! Yo Liberals!

1. Stop The Traffic

From Frank Sinatra crooning about being flown to the moon to David Bowie, the man who fell to Earth, popular music has had an on-and-off fascination with space and life beyond our planet.  For The Scaners, France’s latest punk sensation, the question of extra-terrestrial life isn’t actually a question, but rather a fact; one they are not only comfortable with, but, after listening to their debut self-titled record, they may even be co-conspirators with the little green men themselves. https://dirtywaterrecords.bandcamp.com/album/the-scaners

Johnny Mafia - Ride

Iconic California psychedelic punk legends  The Chocolate Watchband are touring to celebrate the release of their new album. Documented as influencing legendary bands far and wide within the psych, garage, and punk scene for the past 50 years, their live performances sizzle with the same outrageous audacity of the late 60s scene they helped usher into the San Francisco Bay area ballroom scene. The group was also seen as featured bands in the 1967 cult films  Riot on the Sunset Strip and  The Love-Ins, and their powerful stage presence continues to the present day in a timeless stage show which is oozing electric cool-aid energy.
