 DUM DUM GIRLS MALE BONDING Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010 @ Desoto Lounge $5 Tickets available at the door & potentially on sale soon at Harvest... Led by Dee Dee, Dum Dum Girls churn out pop music that adheres to her self-proclaimed M.O.: “blissed-out buzz saw.” Dee Dee formed DDG in late 2008 as a solo project—the name a nod to both The Vaselines’ album, Dum-Dum, and the Iggy Pop song “Dum Dum Boys”— and released a home-recorded CDR on her label Zoo Music followed by a 7" on HoZac and a 12" EP on Captured Tracks. When Dee Dee needed a band to take her songs out of the bedroom, she looked to her friends: Jules, a San Diego-based furniture designer; Bambi, a non-profit worker in Austin; and Brooklynite Frankie Rose, a former Vivian Girl and Crystal Stilt, currently starting her own project as well. When the other three met for the first time a week before CMJ 2009, it was an instant girl gang. Male Bonding, a good-time concept held tightly by Robin Silas Christian (drums), John Arthur Webb (guitar & vocals) and Kevin Hendrick (bass and vocals), became a very real thing in May 2008. Their fate was sealed in a front room at their first show, an insane house party called ‘RAGE!’’ Male Bonding was born raging. It’s been non-stop ever since. That party evolved in to a split 7” release with PENS on Male Bonding’s own label Paradise Vendors Inc. It sold out in one week. Paradise Vendors (PVI) itself became a very active concern, the band attempting to bridge the Atlantic releasing records by their contemporaries such as London’s Graffiti Island, Las Vegas’ ‘Old Blood’, and California’s ‘Rapid Youth’. To date every release on PVI has sold out and is testament to the band’s relentless work ethic: playing hot shows and releasing awesome records. Just over one year down the line Michael Jackson is dead and Male Bonding signs with Seattle’s finest: Sub Pop. A significant signing: the band being one of the only UK bands to sign a worldwide deal with the legendary label. At the time of signing the band will have have despatched seven releases including a Flipper tribute 7” (on Domino Records) alongside PPM Allstars, Lovvers and Ponytail. **************************************************************************************

BEACH HOUSE Washed Out Friday, April 30th, 2010 @ The Grey Eagle $10 advance/$12 day of Tickets available now at Harvest, Orbit DVD, Static Age, The Grey Eagle & online HERE. The Beach House you're about to meet isn't the same you may remember from before. Lives have been shuffled, tangled and re-aligned. When Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally returned home to Baltimore last Winter, they were worn thin from touring and travel. But deep inside them hot energies were incubating, ideas they had been whispering back and forth in the wake of their sophomore full-length, 2008's Devotion. By the following spring they began handing themselves over completely to those impulses, holing themselves up and exchanging ideas in a new, secluded practice space for dangerously long periods of time. As the songs that would become Teen Dream began to live, breathe and take shape, the duo was forced to leave much of their personal lives behind them. 'We're the same people, but this record has changed our directions,' Legrand muses. 'We were forced to let go of people and things we were holding onto as individuals: normalcy, daily rituals, the ability to take care of ourselves. We were dropped into a wilderness, but we had more clarity than we've ever had before.' Still driven to avoid distraction, the two marched further into isolation, to bottle up all those wild visions away from home. They packed up their lives and settled into a converted church in upstate New York with producer Chris Coady. For a month they continued the birthing process, sweating and pushing out sounds inside a cocoon of their very own weaving. 'It wasn't about arriving at a church and it revolutionizing a feeling,' Scally notes. 'It was a continuation of what we were doing without disruption. Whenever something good happens, we look at each other and we know that was it. It's instinctual and it's private.' Through the course of a month, they chased down songs and dark rushes, the creative telepathy that Scally and Legrand share together taking a strangely physical hold. 'There's a different level of intimacy, a physicality on Teen Dream,' Legrand explains, pacing back and forth. 'Rhythmically, there's new motion. This record touches you. On your chest.' The skyward pulse of 'Walk In the Park' and '10 Mile Stereo' elicit just those reactions, two vibrant, volcanic examples of a record and band bursting at its incandescent seams. It is without question, more expansive and moving than anything they have shared before. 'I'm ready to give it away,' Legrand says of this, their first effort as part of the Sub Pop family. 'I'm done holding onto it. I want to give it away, I want it to become something else for people. It is born now. ' Alex Scally and Victoria Legrand are from Baltimore, Maryland. They are not a couple and Teen Dream is their third full-length album.
