I’m not gonna make any jokes about them pulling you over or tell you that their music makes you feel like eating donuts and wielding power. But I will say that Brooklyn’s Ex Cops make a music that is infectious, the kind that grabs you more and more after every listen. Which actually seems like more of a rarity these days. So head over here and get a taste of their sound, then tune in Thursday and hear them live on Beyond Beyond is Beyond on East Village Radio, noon to 2pm.
Thanks to the good folks at MIG Music and Freeman Promotions, BBiB has a couple copies to giveaway of Epitaph’s amazing 1974 classic, Outside the Law, remastered with plenty of extra live and bonus jams! Holy Kraut Boogie!

Brooklyn’s own Minerva Lions are gonna come perform live on Beyond Beyond is Beyond on Thursday, of course on East Village Radio from noon to 2pm eastern time. I first heard the band’s praises from a number of pals. First from Miss Nicole Atkins, then from Julian Woolsey of Perfect Prescription and Rock Edition fame, and last but not least, Sam Davis at Relix and Dog Gone Blog.
Now I’ve finally heard Minerva Lions’ new EP, Great Strides, Priestess and Queen for myself and am quite excited for the Lions’ live action!
So come along on the listening adventure on Thursday, July 7th from noon to 2pm (est) on Beyond Beyond is Beyond on East Village Radio!
*And make sure to catch Minerva Lions when they play Beyond Beyond is Beyond presents…in Riverside Park, along with Endless Boogie, on July 31st*
(via EVR.com): Smoke Fairies are Katherine Blamire and Jessica Davies. The pair met at school back in the 90′s and did some singing together in their school’s choir before picking up guitars and studying their parent’s record collections, favoring the classic American sides of the 70′s. The pair eventually spent some time in New Orleans and soaked up even more U.S. blues. Neil Young must’ve been among those dusty LPs as the Smoke Fairies have recorded a stunning version of Shakey’s Alabama. Infusing those lessons with traditional British folk, the duo craft dark, humid, and intricately layered songs that have won over the likes of Bryan Ferry and Richard Hawley. Stateside, Smoke Fairies count Jack White as a fan—he produced and played guitar and drums on their single Gastown and released it on his Third Man Records label.
So come listen to them light up the EVR studio live on Beyond Beyond is Beyond on Thursday, noon to 2pm (EST)!
And grab their fantastic new album, Through Light and Trees, here.
Early 2011, Swedish pop-psych band La Fleur Fatale, whom I have championed for the last couple years now, visited NYC to appear on Beyond Beyond is Beyond and do three live shows in NYC and Brooklyn. This is the brilliant documentary they put together of that trip. And it features yours truly. Dig…

I’m really psyched to welcome the Donkeys to Beyond Beyond is Beyond on Thursday, May 26th. The Californian’s are on an East Coast tour to bring some sunshine jammery to our rainy metropolis…and other Eastern metropoli. Here are the NYC dates:
THURSDAY 05/26/2011: (with Citay!)
Cake Shop, 152 Ludlow
New York, New York 10002
FRIDAY 05/27/2011:
The Rock Shop
Brooklyn, NY
The Donkeys new Dead Oceans release, Born With Stripes is a phenomenally-textured listen, which starts with this tune below…and proceeds to take you on a fantastic hazy, psych-tinged, country-rock safari over the next 45 minutes. An album that truly plays as an album.
The Donkeys-Don’t Know Who You Are
So check them out for an in-studio live performance and chat on Thursday’s Beyond Beyond is Beyond show on East Village Radio, Thursday from noon to 2pm (EST)…
I’m excited to announce that our friends in far-outedness, White Hills, will be joining me on Beyond Beyond is Beyond on East Village Radio for a chat and live ambient performance! It all goes down Thursday, May 19th between noon and 2pm (EST) on EVR.com.
On June 21st, White Hills new album, H-p1, will be released on Thrill Jockey.
Musically, H-p1, White Hills second full-length for Thrill Jockey, expands on the explorations of previous albums in ambience, noise, and space rock all led by guitarist Dave W.’s blistering guitar solos. This is the most fully realized White Hills album to date and the one that takes them furthest from their pure space rock roots. It is also their most angry record. It is a reaction to what White Hills sees as government co-opted and controlled by corporations. It is a wake up call.
…this fuckin’ Thursday!
And they’re gonna play live for us all in the East Village Radio studio this Thursday at noon eastern on Beyond Beyond is Beyond on East Village Radio.
Press Release: New York City’s Lez Zeppelin has been causing a sensation on stages all over the world including India, Europe and Japan since its 2004 inception. Now “…the most powerful all-female band in rock history…” (according to Chuck Klosterman) and “the ultimate turn-on” (according to Lenny Kaye) is planning another assault on stages nationwide.
This is one band that has to be seen to be believed! Guitarist Steph Paynes gives such good Page that one is hard-pressed to tell the difference with eyes closed. Her unerring note-for-note accuracy is stunning. The same attention-to-detail is evident in the tight rhythm section of bassist Megan Thomas and drummer Leesa Harrington-Squyres, the latter a true Bonzo beast. Vocalist Shannon Conley, rather than copying Robert Plant, is her own woman. Her phrasing, timbre and timing are totally her own. Her vocals, coupled with the bands musicianship, swagger and gender-bending audacity, makes Lez Zeppelin one of the more remarkable bands of this or any era.
Their sophomore effort, Lez Zeppelin I, is an incredible replication of Led Zeppelin’s 1969 debut: it is obvious that this band has cemented its considerable chops into one powerhouse behemoth of monolithic proportions. It was recorded at the analog Pie Studios on Long Island, New York, with producers Perry Margouleff and William Wittman, on the very same vintage equipment that Led used on its 1969 debut. The intent was to remain true to the sound and texture of the original vinyl recording and, as such, stands as a stirring document that proves the timelessness of this material. This is material that is simply too damn good not to be performed live in 2011 because of its ageless and vibrant aesthetic. The inherent splendor lies in the fact that Lez Zeppelin, in bringing their shock-rock to an already beloved and revolutionary sound, has created a whole ‘nother animal. And this stampeding charging rhino of an animal absolutely demands to be heard.
To that end, the band’s tour will include a stop at the Rock On The Range Festival in Columbus, Ohio May 20 where they will open the festivities for the two-day fest May 21 and 22 with Steel Panther at a “pre-festival anniversary party” at the Columbus Crew Stadium. Lez Zeppelin is excited about being tapped to open such a prestigious fest.
Well, that was rad-ass!

I’m happy to be welcoming my pal, Todd Bogin (above right) and his excellent folk-rock outfit, Whale Belly to Beyond Beyond is Beyond on Thursday. As a live band, these guys are full of untamed roller coaster ride-like energy.
After bringing us that energy live on air at noon (EST) on Thursday, they’ll bring it to their sold out show that night at Mercury Lounge. But no worries, they’ll play the Merc again on Saturday at 7:00 pm.
