The first mp3 from Kurt Vile’s forthcoming Matador debut, Childish Prodigy:
We mentioned the new Ducktails/Julian Lynch split 7" the other day, and today the Underwater Peoples bros sent over the Richard Law videos featured on the accompanying DVD:
Dum Dum Girls perform "Hey Sis" at their first ever live show, yesterday afternoon at the Captured Tracks/Woodsist Festival in Brooklyn. Featuring Frankie Rose (Crystal Stilts, ex-Vivian Girls) on drums, Mike Sniper (Blank Dogs) on bass, and Brandon Welchez (Crocodiles) on guitar:
