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.
Dudes,
Grab one (or more) of these…

And join me at noon (ET) here…
…and let’s listen to stuff like this…

Cheersy cheers!
I’m very psyched to welcome the awesome Swedish pop-psychsters, La Fleur Fatale to Beyond Beyond is Beyond on Thursday! I’ve been diggin’ these cats for a couple years now and awaiting the time that they made their first venture to these here United States.

And now is the time. As you can see from the flier, BBiB is the very first performance that they’ll do in America. So be sure to tune in Thursday at noon eastern to East Village Radio…on the great new popup player. Then come out to Perfect Prescription at Shea Stadium that night and see their first full U.S. live show ever…and catch me DJ’ing there too. Lots of fun to be had on a Thursday! See ya’s then.

Nicole Atkins was on the show a couple months back and she and her killer guitarist, Irina, blew the glass doors off the East Village Radio studio with a couple of amazing live tunes. If you don’t believe me or you done missed it, check ‘em out here. Nicole has a fantastic new album coming out on February 8th called Mondo Amore and she and her band, The Black Sea will soon be out on extensive tour. Check all the dates on her site and catch them live…because they rule live!
So tune in Thursday at noon eastern to Beyond Beyond is Beyond on East Village Radio and listen to Nicole and I spin some of our favorite records. Nicole’s got great taste in jams…and preserves too. And dig this album cover. Talk atcha Thursday!

It was a breath of fresh air when I recently heard Fergus & Geronimo’s brand-new album Unlearn, released this month on Hardly Art. It’s almost impossible to compare them to other contemporary groups because they seem to avoid being pinned down. That’s probably what I dig. Well, that and the killer songs that run the gamut from Zappa-inspired pop-psych to classic soul and doo-wop (and a bunch of goodies in between)!

And guess what? They’re gonna perform live on Beyond Beyond is Beyond on Thursday! I think we can definitely expect some fun from these cats. So tune in from noon to 2pm ET on Thursday to East Village Radio and come play with us.
Get a taste of Fergus & Geronimo’s ‘Powerful Lovin” right here…

Ever since I popped in their debut album, New Rituals, for the first time earlier this year, I’ve been a mondo Mondo Drag fan. That’s why I’m very excited to welcome the psychedelic Draggers from Iowa to Beyond Beyond is Beyond this week, of course Thursday at noon eastern on eastvillageradio.com. We’re gonna see just how psyched-out the EVR booth can get!

After performing for you live on Beyond Beyond is Beyond, the guys will be playing Thursday night at Union Pool with our friends, the Main Street Gospel and Otracina. Should be an amazing show!

Prepare thine self to be enveloped in the hot molten goodness that is Magma…this week on Beyond Beyond is Beyond! The epic French progressive rock band (if we had to pin them down to one genre) founded in Paris in 1969 by classically trained drummer Christian Vander, will be performing one of their only two U.S. shows this year at the Highline Ballroom on Monday, September 20th…and you could possibly go for free if you tune in to Beyond Beyond is Beyond on East Village Radio on Thursday, where I’ll be giving away a couple pairs of tickets.
Not only that, I will also be talking on the phone to Magma’s Stella Vander. So be sure to show up on time to Beyond Beyond is Beyond on East Village Radio at noon eastern, Thursday, 9/9/10!

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
So tune in Thursday to Beyond Beyond is Beyond and here the Main Street Gospel live in the iconic East Village Radio booth!
