Jets to Brazil 6/15/2003
To say we’re in love with new HUNNY would be the understatement of the year. The Southern California band has kept mum for nearly a year, after the release of their Windows II EP in 2018. But now they’re back, with a phenomenal new single as well as news of their long awaited debut full length, ‘Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.’, out July 19th via Epitaph. Five yeses may seem like overkill, until you watch the video for their new song ‘Lula, I’m Not Mad’. The track is a brilliant combination of all that we love about spindly post-punk and bouncy shimmering new wave, paired with an irresistibly raspy emo drawl. It’s almost like Angels & Airwaves and a touch of Blink-182 melded with the aureate guitars of DIIV and the wavey curls of The Cure. HUNNY’s new album, inspired by their love for 80s new wave and 90s pop, came to life in November 2018 during the Woolsey Fire and Camp Fire that devastated huge swathes of land in Southern California. They continued demoing and writing even as firefighters were in their backyard to stop the wildfire from encroaching onto the property. Pre-order ‘Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.’, here. HUNNY will be touring with Knuckle Punk & Citizen from May through mid-June. They hit the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco on June 2nd!

My cherished Cattle and Cane 7" signed by Grant Mclennan the night he and Robert Forster announced the Go-Betweens were reforming, at The Great American Music Hall in San Francisco.

For three nights in a row at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco, Cheap Trick played their first three records start to finish, one each night with plenty of encores.
I had just started as bar manager there, so got to see all three nights from sound check to after show... they sounded amazing and the teenage me was, well- in heaven. AND they could not have been more gracious. I guess I was too cool to have it autographed.

Never saw Them Are Us Too live, though I do own a copy of their hard-to-find PTP session cassette (link to it in the comments)....so was good to finally see SRSQ, as Kennedy and band...somebody named Mark who looks not unlike the Chameleons frontman, as well as the bass player for Choir Boy plays guitar for them, and has his own outfit Sculpture Club, so he is a very busy man...and a huge NO fan since he had his own custom bootleg NO shirt when we saw that band.
Anyway, here's my recording, done with the Shure MV88...for these, it's important not to block the mic through arm/body movements, as that attenuates the rich bass pickups these are capable of...
