GIMME TINNITUS

Here is some footage from the time I finally got to see Foot Village perform live. There were a few brains melted that day. Also fingers were cut. Thanks to Smashing Chair for the video.

You know that time I saw Foot Village? Well, it just so happens that I missed seeing Mae Shi offshoot Signals who played later that day. Needless to say, I was pissed. Anyway, grab their Supple Youth Mixtape… here.

Also on the bill that night was post-Mika Miko band, Dunes. Props go to http://yvynyl.tumblr.com/ for pointing out this video.

While I was in LA this past weekend, I was able to check out some of the Origami Vinyl LA Approved Show @ Bar Melody. Here are some photos and mp3s…

First up is Future Ghost.

Listen: Scream White Noise (mp3)

This mp3 does not convey the heaviness that was Kissing Cousins.

Listen: Red Lamb (mp3)

Manhattan Murder Mystery showcased their earnest intensity.

Listen: Your Mother’s Neck (mp3)

Foot Village brought their spectacle to the lot behind Bar Melody.

Listen: Reggae War Zone (mp3)

I was kinda pissed I had to miss Signals (an offshoot of The Mae Shi).

Listen: Angst In My Pants (Sparks Cover) (mp3)

I also wanted to check out Dunes (featuring Kate Hall (ex-Mika Miko) and Stephanie Chan of Finally Punk);

Listen: Handle (mp3)

You can see a few more photos of the show (including Foot Village‘s blood splattered drums) over at GIMME Tumblr.

I should point out that Pity Party and Monstro were also on the bill.
