Jay Reatard MP3s

The King Khan Experience

 

I Love The Way You Howl

King Khan recently retired The Shrines and The BBQ Show and started a new project – The King Khan Experience. He’s been getting compared to Jimi Hendrix his whole musical career and this new project finally takes up the challenge. In 9 new tracks released free by Scion Audio Visual Khan aggressively rips through a set of psychedelic garage-rock, forcing all sorts of weird sounds out of his electric guitar. Somewhere between Hendrix and Santana, The Datsuns and The Hives – The King Khan Experience is a fusion of all the best elements of past and present rock ‘n’ roll, but is perhaps not the most experimental work he’s ever done.

Lovvers - Wasted Youth

 

Lovvers are loud. Lovvers are filthy. Lovvers have churned out a debut EP of cruddy (in the best way!) punk jams that get the likes of Jay Reatard and Wipers in simultaneous full nelsons. Does that sound like a feat of strength? It is. "Wasted Youth" is about ninety seconds of such derring do, below and free of charge. Above is the video for "Human Hair." They're kicking over trash cans in Austin this week. Catch them if you can.
