harsh mellow
Deep, heavy vibe show happening this Saturday March 31st at Johnny Brenda’s. Green Milk From The Planet Orange is gonna bring interstellar prog rock to Fishtown, with Birds of Maya laying down deep fried, stoned grooves. I’ll be there on the balcony with the projector, as Splendor Solis, doing some of this, while DJs Rock Tits and Harsh Mellow spin psych sounds throughout the evening.

We’ll be celebrating the release at Johnny Brenda’s this fine evening with the righteous dudes of Sorted! The joint gets rolling at 9:30, Golden Ball hits the stage at 10:30. Join us! It’s also the anniversary of Patricio’s birth, so come witness the not so subtle poetics of the dance floor. It is Spring, and we smell some ripe pheromones.

golden ball the antique barking swirls of dawn
We are oh so very pleased to present to you The Antique Barking Swirls of Dawn, by Golden Ball. As always, ye shoppe is the place to get some.

    Smother.net says…”Folk rock anthems that are mighty and higher than you’d have imagined. Bits and pieces of abstract neurotically precise percussion are dangled out throughout Golden Ball’s fantastic follow-up to their “The Luxury of Pause”. This is good music for good music’s sake.”

Ok? The good Lord Whimsy had this to say…

    “Simultaneously eerie, antic, and intimate, this cryptic, absurdist psychedelia cracks open the modest to find the epic–singing anthems that bring to mind the bizarre microcosms all around us. Sounds bloom, quiver, shrivel, break apart. Orchid totems are proudly planted atop the summits of anthills, and matchbook boats with maple leaf sails set off for the Arctic Circle…”

Ok.

We’ll be celebrating the release at Johnny Brenda’s on March 24th with the righteous dudes of Sorted! We recommend purchasing yrself an advanced ticket.
