in the garage: news and releases

*fat possum records just released a best of from jay reatard's synth punk band, the LOST SOUNDS.  entitled BLAC STATIC, the lp is comprised on songs hand picked by the rest of the band, alicja (also of black sunday and river city tanlines) and rich (from lover!).....

make sure you grab this album, cause like all things jay reatard, especially his lost sounds-era, are hard to come by......  though goner records may eventually reissue all the REATARDS lps...which if you havent bought the recent TEENAGE HATE reissue, go get now it........

*in the red records is set to rerelease some black lips titles in august.   larry must of acquired the rights from vice, who didn't seem to interested in keeping the black lips titles in stock, for some undisclosed reason.

in the red will rerelease GOOD BAD NOT EVIL on lp, as well as issuing 200 MILLION THOUSAND and LOS VALIENTES DEL MONDO NEUVO (their live lp from TIJUANA) on vinyl for the first time.  finally.

i hate it when you have to go buy a goddamn cd to get the album.  (personally not a fan of buying music in the CLOUD.....but thats just me.....)

*also in the red is planning to release two new mark sultan lps this fall/winter.  "whenever i want" and shortly there after "whatever i want"....   a cd version will include both lps.......

mark sultan (aka bbq) is also rereleasing his $ lp on in the red, after acquiring the rights from last gang.......$ is a difficult lp to find, but it is out there and worth the money.........

*and the good tunes just keep coming.......hozac records is about to release lps by HEAVY TIMES and RADAR EYES, two of my fav chicago garage noisemakers......   and hozac is also planning a split 7 inch with the black lips and mark sultan.....probably later on this year...

*KING KHAN just played two shows with GRIS GRIS in chicago this weekend.  we can only hope they stopped in a studio somewhere to record some jams.....

their sets were some spastic garage psych...with as many gris gris songs as king khan tunes....

much like the almighty defenders side project where the black lips were joined with king khan and bbq in the studio.....  who doesn't like garage punk supergroups..........

and yeah do yerself a favor and pick up a GRIS GRIS lp.....

anyway these shows were fucking great.........if you missed them,  watch the second show at the empty bottle below......
