The paisley underground is alive and well in Seattle, Washington, where LA LUZ are proving themselves to be the melodic, organ-driven psych/surf heirs to Kendra Smith, David Roback and, what the hell, Annette Zilinskas.

I’m loving the new “It’s Alive” album. Seriously, put a dirty surf guitar sheen over “Explosions in the Glass Palace” or “Happy Nightmare Baby” and you’ve got this record. I’m not sure anyone’s been able to successfully evoke that sound for thirty years the way these women have.

Get it from their label, Hardly Art, here.

Help me celebrate the silver anniversary of Dynamite Hemorrhage Radio Podcast by downloading or streaming #25 right here. As I try to make a custom of, this one’s bursting with new material from all over the world – nay, the English-speaking world – including winners from PAMPERS; SEPTEMBER GIRLS; SEX TIDE; JOANNA GRUESOME; SPRAY PAINT; THE FIREWORKS and DREAMSALON

There’s also a nod to our forefathers and foremothers from the 70s and thenceforth who bequeathed unto us music from the likes of The Slugs; 39 Clocks (pictured here); Sperm Wails; Man Tee Mans; the Suicide Kings and even Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band. Like I said on the podcast, it’s “wild” “freeform” radio, the likes of which haven’t been seen since the glory days of potsmoking, late-night FM DJs spinning Steely Dan next to some “Dark Side of the Moon” deep cuts. Trust me, this show is really almost that good.

What’s going on with the Dynamite Hemorrhage fanzine #1, you ask? Oh, you didn’t know? Yeah, I’m working on a print fanzine that will come out in less than 2 months – wrapping up all writing, ads and such by 12/1, with layout and printing happening in December. There’s so much stuff in there I think we may top 60-70 pages, no joke. Some highlights:

  • An interview with Chris D. (Flesh Eaters, Slash Magazine, Upsetter Records etc.) on Los Angeles punk rock, circa 1977-80
  • The first comprehensive retrospective & posthumous interview with Sally Skull, amazingly raw all-female Scottish garage band 1994-98 (pictured above)
  • Interviews with current stellar bands Household and Sex Tide
  • An interview with Bona Dish, short-lived early 80s UK DIY band who’ve recently been unearthed
  • Lost female-fronted bands of the past three decades
  • A ton of record and book reviews
  • Advertisements from today’s hottest young record labels
  • more more more
