Tune in to Beyond Beyond is Beyond on East Village Radio on Thursday at noon and hear me chat with the organizers of the remarkable ATP NY music fest, which has no corporate sponsors and is the smallest and coolest festival I’ve ever been to!
Hey there, Beyonders!
I’m happy to report that we will have a kickass live performance from a kickass new band called The Main Street Gospel, in the EVR booth on Beyond Beyond is Beyond this Thursday. Their beautifully fuzzed-out classic rock style shines bright on their Tee Pee Records debut, Love Will Have Her Revenge. Dig ‘I Won’t Be Stayin” below…

The Main Street Gospel – I Won’t Be Stayin’
Here’s a great quick intro to the band from Dan Epstein at Shockhound (where you can also download the free mp3):
Here at ShockHound, the only thing we love more than getting turned on to killer new music is when we can turn you on to it before anyone else does.
Which is why we’re so stoked to present the world premiere of “I Won’t Be Stayin’,” a fuzz-caked track from Love Will Have Her Revenge, the forthcoming full-length debut by the Main Street Gospel. Lodged somewhere between the bluesy scuzz of the Black Keys and the haunted highway ramblings of Neil Young, “I Won’t Be Stayin’” is one of those rare cuts that sounds both oddly familiar and intriguingly fresh. And you can only download it for FREE from ShockHound, baby!
Formed in Columbus, Ohio in 2005 by former Brian Jonestown Massacre tambourine shaker Barry Dean (vocals, guitar), Ryan “Tito” Ida (bass) and Adam Scoppa (drums), the Main Street Gospel’s brand of “mystic trip-rock” caught the ear of fellow bearded Ohioan (and Black Keys guitarist) Dan Auerbach, who produced and pressed up a couple of their songs on an indie seven-inch back in 2008. One thing led to another, and the band signed to Tee Pee Records early this year. Love Will Have Her Revenge, a wonderful album which touches upon everything from Byrds-y country rock to Spiritualized-type psychedelic mantras, will drop June 29.
But hey, you don’t need to wait until then to bathe in the cosmic vibes of the Main Street Gospel. Just click on the link above, and grab that free MP3 before it’s gone like a late spring breeze.— Dan Epstein

Hey Beyondites,
This week’s Beyond Beyond is Beyond show is quite special, as I’ll be welcoming Canadian ‘post-classic rockers,’ Plants and Animals. I’ve been championing these guys since I started the BBiB show early last year, spinning stuff from their Parc Avenue album quite often. And they just played a sold out show with Ra Ra Riot at Union Hall on Tuesday…with lots of touring ahead of them.
And now, with the release of their new album La La Land, they will be performing songs from the album live in the East Village Radio booth, 5 days before it’s release date…of 4/20!
Here we are outside the EVR booth…

So come join me, and Plants and Animals, at noon eastern Thursday at East Village Radio!

And if you’ve been listening to my show lately, you already know it totally rocks!
They just finished a short-tour with Coheed and Cambria and now their tour with OK GO starts next week.

Hey Bologna-Boppin’ Beyonders,
I’m happy to announce that this week Beyond Beyond is Beyond will welcome So-Cal bent rockers, the Growlers to the show. I’ve been diggin’ these guys ever since Everloving sent me their new Are You In or Out? record. I lifted the ‘bent sound’ description from the Everloving website because it really fits the Growlers’ sound nicely:
…this “bent sound” has been perfected in their live act that some onlookers call “groovy” and or “sick”. The groovy unexcelled value in Lo fidelity sound is their stock and trade.
So get yourself further acquainted below with the “Something Someone Jr” video and then bring your ears to the far out reaches of Beyond Beyond is Beyond on East Village Radio on Thursday, 2/18, from noon to 2 EST. Here’s how to get there…
If you’re in NYC, catch their show at Piano’s…
