On their debut disc, Post-Nothing, guitarist Brian King and drummer David Prowse deliver a rush of fuzzed-out rockers and stoner-metal grooves, ... http://www.diskull.com/blog/2009/08/09/japandroids-post-nothing/ Web: www.thefieryfurnaces.com Aug 9 - Williamsburg Waterfront, Brooklyn, NY http://www.diskull.com/blog/2009/08/07/the-fiery-furnaces-tropical-iceland/ A new six song 12" from The Mayfair Set, a collaborative effort between Blank Dogs and Dum Dum Girls.

But the title of the leadoff track from Phoenix’s new album is an apt synopsis of their mannered yet effervescent romanticism. “Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix,” ... http://www.diskull.com/blog/2009/06/27/phoenix-wolfgang-amadeus/ Austin was a fertile ground for the emerging counterculture of the 1960s.

That’s probably more info than he’d appreciate us giving out, seeing as he’s most often spotted with a tea-towel around his face, but ‘Under And Under’ is an album deserving of recognition. A spooky mash-up of Sonic Youth, ... http://www.diskull.com/blog/2009/06/21/blank-dogs-under-and-under/ During the 1990s, Pajo played with King Kong, The Palace Brothers, Stereolab, Royal Trux, The For Carnation, Matmos, Tortoise and Bonnie 'Prince' Billy.
