In the Red’s profile may have risen in recent years through releases by King Khan & BBQ, Vivian Girls and Jay Reatard, but for years the L.A. label’s been buttering your croissant with permanently cool, stylishly unfashionable garage-rawk like what this here Reigning Sound band makes.

Bands that I did not listen to in 2k8
At the beginning of 2k8, I made a post about bands I did not listen to in 2k7. Now it is 2k9, and I will make a list of bands that I did not listen to in 2k8.

Band of the Week: The Babies
Last week we felt pretty lucky to catch one of three live sets from the new indie "supergroup" The Babies! Consisting of members of Vivian Girls and Woods, The Babies have had one tune on the internet for quite some time now, but seeing them do a full nine song set we kind of fell in love with the band and their pop-punk hooks and off key harmonies. It was a really energetic and fun...
fake surfers
Song of the night: some enjoyably warped/slightly demented lo-fi pop genius from Seattle’s Intelligence. The incredibly infectious "Thank You God For Fixing the Tape Machine" is taken from the group’s upcoming Fake Surfers LP, which is out May 26 on In the Red (home of Vivian Girls, Strange Boys, Black Lips, etc), and has been on heavy rotation around here over the last...
new Vivian Girls songs
Listen to two new songs from Vivian Girls’ sophomore LP Everything Goes Wrong at the group’s myspace page ("The End" + "Can’t Get Over You"). And in case you missed the first jam to surface from the record a few weeks back: mp3: vivian girls :: when i’m gone  
vivian girls cover the beach boys, offer "fun pack"
The only thing more fun than the Vivian Girls record is probably a Vivian Girls Surf’s Up Fun Pack. Comes complete with a t-shirt, some postcards/buttons, and a 7" with two new songs and a cover of the Beach Boys’ "Girl Don’t Tell Me." I can guarantee yall with 100% certainty that this will sell out, so get on it now. mp3: vivian girls :: where do you run to...
