AFS v. 169 feat. Sacto's Ruthless McCheeses


You thought these mayors were without ruth...


Leading off this week is a relentless pummellin' neg-churner from The Mayyors, Sacramento's finest new weirdpunks since the Joe Serna administration. Funmaker bosses who made Karate Party and FM Knives, Sexy Prison and Corpse Fucks Corpse, Gift of Goats and Shove, and The Sores and Standard Tribesmen such great bands now comprise this band. Much philosophizing about The Brainbombs went on to center on a process toward thee infinite mayyoral riff that bludgeons like a sledgehammer, but the pace is kicked up a couple notches to uptempo. Fuzzed bass grinds, but melodically while the best integrated moanwavin' this side of Cheveu gives it a bit of a cyber edge.

Their Marines Dot Com EP is ultra-limited, and the band and their Waste of Oil Records label have no web presence at all. For now, the only way to get this thing will be to order it from S-S Records/Distro. This comes with my highest possible recommendation. Don't miss this band if they come to your area, too. Next shows...

Thursday, April 17 @ the Eagle in San Francisco
w/ Thee Oh Sees

Friday, April 25 @ the Hemlock in San Francisco
w/ Crash Normal & Sic Alps

Saturday, April 26 @ DAM House in Davis
w/ Crash Normal & Sic Alps

new HOSPITALS "Hairdryer Peace" LP out in April




New Hospitals LP
"HAIRDRYER PEACE"

Out April 4th!!! Edition of 500.

PREORDER NOW at http://www.hairdryerpeace.com/

After a nearly Chinese Democracy situation, the new Hospitals LP "Hairdryer Peace" is being pressed and will be available April 4th in an edition of 500 put out by the band. It's a ripper/apology for the bands' previous two albums.


"Doesn't really matter whether you loved or hated The Hospitals before, cuz this is some year zero shit. This is the most psychedelic fucking record in a long time and there are no rainbows - no feather earrings - no beards. Mixed for maximum hallucinations, it has the stoned riffs of a killer rock record, totally cracked pop, pure headfuck, but more than anything else just an all around perfect album. It's Chief Hospital Adam Stonehouse with oringal Hospital co-founder/shredder Rod Meyer and Rob Enbom from Eat Skull and Chris Gunn from an island off the coast of the future. Sounds nothing like any bands or anything else.. Seriously, if a better record comes out this year, next year, whenever.... I promise. Edition of 500. Don't be an asshole." - Scott Simmons

"and when I announced as a masterpiece and a real departure into a ZONE, they're getting VERY curious." - Hicham Chadly

"The most wild and wonderfully weird LP that you will hear this year!" - my damn self
