MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND ROCK SHOW AND COOKOUT! It's the unofficial start of the summer and we've got a whole bunch of NEW for you to kick it off. Kerbivore will celebrating the release of their new EP, All Dressed, 5 songs whose melodies are as powerful as the brute force of the band's instrumental attack. (Yes, that's stolen from their press release but I wrote it, so it's OK). Cassettes will be available for purchase at the show. Check it out here: unblinkingearrecords.bandcamp.com/album/all-dressed Brooklyn noise-niks Rathaus will be making both their Staten Island debut and in all likelihood, an unholy racket. Slam if you want to. Or don't. They don't give a flying V. rathaus.bandcamp.com We've also got TWO bands playing their first shows ever. Wheels on Meals comes to you from the mind(s) that brought you Brownwater, Blank Postcards, Muddy Buddies and The Grand Pantrymen. Will likely ditch their name by the time they play next so this may literally be a once in a lifetime opportunity. Stark Relief is an acoustic project featuring local legend JT (Sleeper/Serpico, Darien/Amber Jets) and local hero Jerrold Kavanaugh. Come see for yourself what Apples and (nickname redacted) have in store for you. DJs Paul Bruno and Baricuda will spinning all the songs your mother warned you about before, between and after the bands. And, of course, it wouldn't be a cookout with food. The menu has yet to be revealed but KC Pugs has definitely got some eats up his sleeve. Hopefully not literally. This magnificent evening of entertainment begins at 7pm in the opening airiness of Mother Pugs backyard (weather permitting) and will only set you back 6 American dollars.

Saturday, May 23rd Mother Pugs 1371 Forest Ave, SINY 10302 KERBIVORE RATHAUS WHEELS ON MEALS STARK RELIEF DJs Paul Bruno & Baricuda Doors @ 7pm $6

Though several names and lineup changes, Kerbivore’s constant has been singer/guitarist/songwriter Sean Kuhl. Taking clear inspiration fromthe holy trinity of U.S. post-punk axemen –J Mascis (Dinosaur Jr), Bob Mould (Hüsker Dü) and Roger Miller (Mission of Burma) – Kuhl has long impressed New York crowds with his masterful fretwork. On the All Dressed EP, Kuhl arrives as a songwriter; 5 songs whose melodies are as powerful as the brute force of the band’s instrumental attack, displaying chops that put most of the “melodic punk” crowd to shame. Equally sweet and gnarled, the effect is not unlike your favorite quirky indie band developing a sudden (unhealthy?) fixation with Killed By Death–style punk compilations. Or perhaps the groups of the Paisley Underground ditching Roger McGuinn as their guitar hero in favor of the Stooges’ Ron Asheton. Fans of the Thermals, No Age and Cloud Nothings will find plenty to love in Kerbivore.

Kerbivore - All Dressed EP is available for steam and download at unblinkingearrecords.bandcamp.com

Cassette available for pre-orders. Ships May 12, 2015.

Swivs is the new project from Will Schalda Jr. Schalda achieved a taste of fame as a member of the Realistics, perhaps the great lost band of the early 21st century New York rock scene. Though they commanded an impressive local following, toured extensively with their contemporaries the Strokes and the Mooney-Suzuki and opened for punk icons Joe Strummer and Blondie, The Realistics sadly fizzled before gaining the recognition and success of many of their peers. Schalda spent the next several years as an in demand touring musician, lending his talents on the keys to acts as diverse as Brendan Benson, Kevin Devine and his Goddamn Band and, most recently, Charles Bradley, all the while penning his own tunes on the side. Reuniting with Realistics powerhouse drummer Dave Patrikios, Schalda finally shows the world what he’s being up to all these years with Swivs’ debut Free Period Blood Money: 10 songs of finely-crafted, keyboard-driven pop that may remind younger fans of New Pornographers, Spoon and Ariel Pink but are equally reminiscent of old wave legends like Elvis Costello and The Cars. From bubblegum stomps (“I Was Alive”} to video game blips (“Safe For Now”) to stately power pop (“676767,” “Krystina Mirrors’), Free Period Blood Money proves Schalda a tunesmith of remarkable breadth and uncommon talent.

Swivs - Free Period Blood Money is available for steam and download at unblinkingearrecords.bandcamp.com

Limited edition cassette available for pre-orders, 50 hand numbered copies with exclusive art by artist Tina Lugo. Ships May 12, 2015.
