Trabants

Named after the diminutive and once ubiquitous Eastern European automobile, this collaborative of musicians finds its muse in the dusty bins of 60's instrumental surf, garage, psych, lounge, soundtrack and library music from around the world.

These are the last very last copies of the freakout cassette. I'm pretty sure they will all go at today's two shows. This afternoon, we'll be playing as party of the @lolipoprecords Xmas takeover at @cobraside in Glendale. The event starts at noon and bands start at 1pm.3639 San Fernando Rd Glendale Later tonight, we're playing the fifth dimension, an all night psychedelic ball at the @the_blind_spot_project alongside the incredible @the_creation_factory and some amazing djs like @greenslimela @thecosmicbrotherhood and the SF acid test. We play at 11. Come on out, get your freakout on and grab a tape! Once they're gone, they're gone!

My trips to #Montreal and #Quebec City bore many fruits! Time to start sharing these discoveries. First up is the first #lp from Quebec's very own, #Karo. She scored hits in Canada and Japan with the single "un garçon en mini-jupe" (a boy in a mini skirt). This lp is solid girl pop #yè-yè infused #psychedelia from start to finish. Karo is also one of the few chanteuses to write her own stuff. This #vinyl also has an amazing cover. It's hard to see with the overlapping images but she's holding a fender telecaster which were not commonly heard on yè-yè records of the time.

I love this vibrant, tripped out #Montreal wall art all over the city.

I'm spinning some 60's Non-English and instrumental 45s tonight at the @thesoundreasons show at the @hamandeggstavern and it's FREE! 9pm!

[trabants]

My new favorite way to play 45s
