Best Coast

Maybe I'm just crazy, but I am so totally digging this entire album from Best Coast, a sweetly sonic indie, lo-fi chick surf pop band out of Los Angeles, California.

Check out the title track from 2010's Crazy For You. And don't blame me if you get hooked, they're the perfect background for a lazy Sunday morning, afternoon cocktail or a nice drive in the Hill Country. Awesome and in heavy rotation down here in the Tiki Room...

And dig this, just found out they'll be here in SA on March 12 at the Korova while I'm up at Southby in Austin... Shit, they've gotta be playing up there as well right before or after...


Stay tuned and M

Grand Duchy

Charles Michael Kittredge Thompson IV, aka Black Francis, aka Frank Black, has a reputation as one tough band leader, whether in the TNT-volatile Pixies of the late ’80s and early ’90s or the hardworking roots rockers known as the Catholics. We’ve seen him seriously tear into a hapless drummer on one occasion, and berate a would-be stage diver on another. We’ve heard the firing-by-fax story. He scares us a little.

Still, his latest musical collaborator, Victoria Clarke, cannot be pushed around so easily — she is also his love, his wife, and the mother of his five children. And, indeed, she seems to bring out the best in him, eliciting a playful, relaxed side, not to mention a surprisingly pop-oriented musical style. Together they wrote all the songs, played all the instruments, and recorded all the tracks for Petits Fours, the debut album credited to their joint Grand Duchy project.

I'm digging it! Decide for yourself - crank up the first single from Grand Duchy's Petits Fours lp: Love Sick. and read the whole interview over at Flavorwire: Grand Duchy
