Hailing from Brooklyn comes SPORT OF KINGS. They’re releasing their debut 7″ to the world this February, which includes two new tracks of their unique and brassy blend of classy self-described “indie yacht-rock”. Continue reading “Sport of Kings – Free Jazz 7″”
The Jameses hail from Lake Worth, Florida, and this single here is their second 7″ from 2010. As the story goes, this will be their last single before their full length is released sometime this year, so these songs should give us the best taste of what’s to come. Continue reading “The Jameses – Caribou 7″”
Coming out just before the new year was VOYAGEURS second official set of songs “Nude Vegas”. The band had added a new keyboard player to their lineup, and hence they decided to record their songs once more with their new keyboardist. Everything you hear was recorded in a live setting somewhere in the town of Fayetteville, Arkansas. Continue reading “Voyageurs – Nude Vegas”
Who?: Creepoid w/ Nothing, Party Photographers, Pet Milk
Where?: Kung Fu Necktie, Philadelphia, PA
When?: Thursday, January 14th, 2011
Last night was quite the night for the Philadelphia music scene. CREEPOID headlined a show at Kung Fu Necktie, which just so happened to be the record release show for their debut album “Horse Heaven”. Also in attendance were Philly locals Nothing, Party Photographers, and Pet Milk. All in all it was a great night, although some bands noticeably played a bit more sloppy than the other. Pet Milk took the stage first, followed by Party Photographers, then Nothing, and finally Creepoid. Check out at least one song from each band below, ranging from the drunken, reverberated pop of Party Photographers to the evil and demonic guitars of Creepoid. Don’t sleep on these videos folks, we think yr gonna like what you see (and hear!). Continue reading “Creepoid w/ Nothing, Party Photographers & Pet Milk Live in Philadelphia (1/13/11)”
It’s kind of been awhile since we heard from DOOMSTAR!, but that is no longer the case! This Boston trio just put out a new single for the new year, and it includes two surfing garage psych-jams – one that was previously unreleased and another that was on a compilation album with Deathbomb Arc records. Continue reading “DOOMSTAR! – New Years Single 2011”
As some of you may already know, the record release show for the brand new CREEPOID album “Horse Heaven” is tomorrow night. The show takes place at Kung Fu Necktie in Philadelphia, starting promptly at 8pm.
Creepoid will be joined on stage by some of the most prominent Philadelphia bands storming the scene, including Party Photographers, Pet Milk, and Nothing. If you couldn’t already tell, it’s going to be a hell of a night for the Philadelphia music scene. Not only are all those bands from the city, but even the record label releasing the Creepoid album is Philadelphia based – the one and only Ian Records – who (to sweeten the deal even further) exclusively releases music from Philadelphia bands. So yes – all things Philadelphia at the show on Thursday. We at the Styrofoam Drone will be very upset if we don’t see you. Look for the dude up front with the annoying camcorder and come say hi – but that’s not all we have for you today…
Before their album was officially released, the good people of Creepoid were nice enough to sit down and have an enlightening chat about their brand new album with the Styrofoam Drone. We were lucky enough to catch most of the interview right on video. They graciously invited me into their cozy home in Philadelphia, offered far-from cheap beer (the best some might say), watched some hockey, and even set their equipment up to perform a song from the new album exclusively for the blog. Can you say awesome? I hope so. If not, just watch below and see for yourself.
And then the interview.
And don’t forget to check out the review of their new album “Horse Heaven”, which was the latest edition to our “Still Spinnin'” feature. Thank you and enjoy…see ya tomorrow 😉
PS – Another good show happening this week, featuring another one of our favorite Philly bands MOON WOMEN. If you’ve got nothing better to do the next two days and yr from Philly, well now yr in luck. Enjoy.
Today we are proud to present to you on this fine morning the debut full length release from Philadelphia’s own CREEPOID. Today is the official release date of the album, and it comes from Ian Records, which is also Philadelphia based. Continue reading “Creepoid – Horse Heaven”
Hello and welcome back in 2011!!! WOODSMAN will release their sophomore effort from the Fire Talk Records label this January. Normally these dudes play long-form psych jams that last a lifetime, but this time around they trimmed things down and went with a more straightforward approach – now it’s time to see if the change worked out for them. Continue reading “Woodsman – Rare Forms”
