Abe Vigoda Latest News

Flesh-Eating Futurists Man’s Assassination, Man make brutal, crazy punk so hardcore DIY that the drums sound like they were swiped from some munted demo tape from the early ’90s that was ripped to shreds in a crappy boombox then painstakingly pieced back together again. Brothers Bill and Jon Gray of The Mae Shi, Greg Arnold of Residual Echoes and Of Aire with Adam Payne and Justin...
At the beginning of 2k8, I made a post about bands I did not listen to in 2k7. Now it is 2k9, and I will make a list of bands that I did not listen to in 2k8. It is important to understand that you are a consumer in a wide open marketplace. You allegedly have tons of options, with lots of music 2 listen 2. However, it is important 2 recognize that u usually ‘judge a band by itz name...
Hmm. Tonight Alvin Stardust is playing…..verrrrrrrrrrrrrry tempting…but i think maybe Telepathe/Pens/chew Lips are a good bet too…hmmm. hmmm. hmml pick n mix your own pops… Telepathe! Mon 24th Nov Lexington – Pop! Quiz! – starts 8pm - £1 per person to enter – up to 6 in a team. Not up it’s arse indie but a mix of questions about queen...
Cold Pumas’ "Jela" starts at a tempo of 192bpm. It’s difficult to see how you go anywhere other than on from that point and, as ears anticipate, the track hurtles along irresistibly, wave after wave of guitar rush and oddball drumming harnessed to the extent that things start to move so fast they appear to slow down. Furtive vocals sense an opportunity and start to float up...
Abe Vigoda were well received last year, and seems to be a little under credited to me, now that I have actually gotten to listen to Skeletons in its complete form. But what seems to be even more amazing than their past is the shift that has taken place between then and their Reviver EP, due out Feb. 17th. Though the band frolics in their accelerated, frantic rock, there has been revealed in the...

Abe Vigoda MP3s

Well Nurtured Minor Players In the early 1980s Los Angeles was the centre of a ferocious musical revolution. Bands such as The Dead Kennedys, Circle Jerks, The Germs, Black Flag and Bad Brains shook the foundations of popular music, storming the scene with a new style of hardcore punk music that attacked the political aspirations of post-Vietnam America and refused to conform to the new world...
If you want to get things done today and you haven’t listened to any music yet, let this track from London’s Male Bonding blow the crust from your eyes. Kicking with delirious pop-punk glee, "Pumpkin" is a rush: American Hallowe’en as seen through the eyes of film-watching English suburbanites. Lo-fi bands in checked shirts are springing up like happy weeds all across...
On Tuesday 16th June 2009, Tubelord played a gig at a venue called The Cellars - a lovely little pub in Eastney, Portsmouth. Ed, Tom and their counterpart/assistant Leam had the pleasure of interviewing Tubelord before their epic gig. The meeting was arranged for 6, however both parties were late due to us getting lost and Tubelord fixing their bank payments, which set everything back a bit....
  It’s pretty hard reaching Surf City - I get the impression the New Zealand quartet don’t waste too much time checking emails and instead fill their lives with more interesting things, like fixing up motorbikes or drinking in the park. They look like they can’t sit still for a photograph without getting bored and that restlessness translates into melodic, weirdo guitar pop...

Abe Vigoda Reviews

  The Mae Shi/ Abe Vigoda/ Tubelord @ Barden’s Boudoir 12/5/2009     Although from the outside Barden’s Boudoir looks like a crack den that even crack heads find too disgusting, inside this is a cosy little venue and perfect for such a stellar line up.    First on, and playing to a respectably sized crowd, are Kingston’s Tubelord. The trio...
