YL Dropping Another Gem

This song just told Monday to "suck it". Thank you Youth Lagoon and Fat Possum Records. Put this beezy on repeat. 

A Taste of the Wondrous Bughouse

Youth Lagoon aka Trevor Powers aka T-Pow has a new track available to be heard via the Fat Possum soundcloud page.  A little taste of good things to come when YL's second album "Wondrous Bughouse" drops on March 5.  Listen below.  

Okay maybe nobody calls him T-Pow...yet.

Gayze and Tyler T Williams Video Premiere

So the Gayze record release wasn't enough for you last week? Well then, here's a treat. Remember those sick Youth Lagoon videos? Yeah, those were the creations of Tyler T Williams and now he's teamed up with Gayze for something equally as rad. Gayze took two songs and made it into one music video. That's called a "double down". Okay, no it's not but it's pretty sick nonetheless. Check this ish.

Grandma Kelsey - The Dapper Yeti Tour - Sunday at The Crux

Obviously you're gonna have a good time this weekend. You rule like that. But when Sunday night rolls around it's not time to feel sorry about how the work or school week is about to start. It's time to go to a show. 

Boise's own Grandma Kelsey reminds us of all the rad stuff coming out of Anacortes, WA over the years. Quirky, folky, and rad. Imagine yourself with a warm cup of coffee at The Crux listening to this goodness. $3 cover. 7PM start. Chris Jennings and Gregory Rawlins will open. The bonus? You'll be home by bedtime. 

Gayze - Black Soul EP - Out Today!

If you were one of the lucky ones who checked out Gayze at The Red Room/Gramma's House shows in December I'm sure you got your mind blown/face melted/lungs damaged. If you missed out, it's time to cop the new vinyl pronto. Gayze's EP 'Black Soul' is out TODAY on Bleeding Gold Records. Here's a review written in Japanese. 

Here's a clip of Gayze at the Gramma's House show taken by Ellen Rumel. These dudes are RIPPERZ FER SHERRZ. 

And if the gents in Gayze see this...MORE SHOWS PLEASE.
