Hey there, psych-friendly Beyonderz,
The Entrance Band, the psychedelic rock trio hailing from Los Angeles who recently signed to Thurston Moore’s Ecstatic Peace Records and who I love to play on Beyond Beyond is Beyond, is stopping off on their tour this Saturday, January 30 at Brooklyn’s Knitting Factory…and you can win a pair of tickets right now. Here’s how to enter to win (choose from the following):
a) Email me at beyondbeyondisbeyond (@) gmail (dot) com, with your favorite sandwich in the subject line, OR the preferred method…
b) Twitter a sentence using all the following components: @EVRadio, @BBiB, @theentranceband, and the word ‘fuck’ used politely
Good luck and I hope to see you at the show. Look for me. I’ll be the guy with the face.
Cheers then!
Mike
P.S. >>>> LISTEN LIVE AT NOON TO BBIB on East Village Radio! <<<<
(Dig this…)
So I wanted to post something about a band that I accidentally left off my official ‘Best Albums of 2009′ list. This is San Diego-based (oddly enough) new progressive rock band Astra, and their 2009 album The Weirding is one that I listened to a lot last year. I found this really cool random user-made video for one of Astra’s songs and thought you should check it out. So dig in below. There’s a whole lot of radicity going on…
THEN, if you dig that, listen to the whole album on YouTube. It’s all HERE. Pretty amazing. Then, after you’re blown away by how good it is and surprised at how modern it is, BUY that shit bro. I’m def looking for Astra to head to the East Coast!
Cheers!
As seminal progressive rock band Yes gets ready to head out on the North American road for a tour that will last exactly one month, we get the chance to talk to Yes bassist, Chris Squire, on Thursday on Beyond Beyond is Beyond. So tune in to East Village Radio on January 14th at noon and hear me cower before another one of my idols. Okay not really, but yeah, kinda.
Stuff I wanna talk to him about: current lineup, studio plans, Jon Anderson, Fish Out of Water, XYZ project with Jimmy Page in the early-80s, Benoit David, Oliver Wakeman and what modern music Chris listens to. So let’s see if I have time, or just the memory, to ask him about all these things.
