Desert Daze 2018 Kick-Off Week

Desert Daze 2018 Kick-Off Week Read More Desert Daze Ah, the mornings are beginning to be met by a cool autumn breeze...so this must mean desert festival season is under way! Desert Daze has been a myriad of magical atmospheric wonder along with the most entertaining of artists .... Jarvis Cocker Sally, joins us once again to talk more Britpop! Is there a britpopcast in the future? Talks centers around Jarvis Cocker and Pulp, Suede. Pulp started in 1978 … Slowdive Shoegaze band Slowdive are currently on a reunion tour, stopping by Minneapolis' Fine Line Music Café, after being absent from the city in twenty-two years! .... My Bloody Valentine The great noise, shoegazing band My Bloody Valentine is on a reunion tour. We’re talking the original classic lineup of Kevin Shields, Colm Ó Cíosóig, Debbie Googe, and Bilinda Butcher. .…

With Desert Daze 2018 coming up this weekend (October 12th-14th, 2018) at Lake Perris, California, we thought we’d spotlight some of these bands we’ve already seen.

Also, the Music Festival announced that Friday’s ticket and Camping are nearly sold out, so if you’re on the fence about attending this weekend, it’s time to pull the trigger.

Jarvis Cocker (Friday): Frontsman of Britpopster band Pulp will be at Desert Daze on Friday. If you’ve ever listened to a Pulp album, you know that Cocker’s lyrics are often like reading a mini novel. He’s a genius. Since going solo, Cocker has really expanded from just a singer in a band to something more interesting, like film actor, film maker, and writer.

Slowdive (Saturday): After years and years of inactivity, the re-formed/re-united English band did small tour in 2014 (which was one of our greatest highlight). Now, with a 2017 self-titled album, the shoegazing band will like stick around. If you’ve never seen the band, you’ll be glad to know that they were recently added to the Desert Daze lineup for co-headlining on Saturday night.

My Bloody Valentine (Sunday): Deservingly headlining Sunday evening. Let’s face it, when you talk about shoegazing music, the band that everyone is influenced by is probably My Bloody Valentine. Like Slowdive, MBV was on a long hiatus, until Kevin Shields got the band back together.

There’s still a million other bands coming to Desert Daze, so there’s a little something for everyone.

Can’t wait for the weekend? There are a couple of smaller, side shows leading up to the big event:

Regent

10/09 Shannon & the Clams, Escape-ism, Tropa Magica

10/10 Jarvis Cocker

The Echo

Desert Daze: October 12-14, 2018

Read More Desert Daze October (thank god because we would all melt in the otherwise typical days of such shenanigans) will bestow the 6th installation of the transcendent music festival Desert Daze in Joshua Tree, California. .... Tame Impala Tame Impala is touring the U.S. again in support of their album, Lonerism. Kevin and crew have definitely crafted a piece of art. Loud, incredibly groovy. ... Slowdive Shoegaze band Slowdive are currently on a reunion tour, stopping by Minneapolis' Fine Line Music Café, after being absent from the city in twenty-two years! ....

Ah, the mornings are beginning to be met by a cool autumn breeze...so this must mean desert festival season is under way! Desert Daze has been a myriad of magical atmospheric wonder along with the most entertaining of artists, and this year is no exception. With Tame Impala headlining, it could in fact be the best one yet.

I could enumerate on how this festival is, in my opinion, the Mecca of all festivals, but it is really something to be seen by the own eye to truly comprehend. Along with bizarre instillations and an entire village complete with meditation tent and tea ceremonies, this isn’t just a music festival…it’s an Extraterrestrial Festival.

The California-based festival run by Jjuujju’s guitarist Phil Pirrone has an impressive lineup this year featuring Tame Impala, My Bloody Valentine, King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard (also a returning band), Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker, Shellac, Ty Segall & White Fence, Warpaint, Earth (performing The Bees Made Honey In The Lion’s Skull), Malcom Mooney of CAN, Steve Albini, Connan Mockasin, Pond, and Julia Holter, Earthless. There are always surprise guests and DJ’s along with plenty of mind-enhancing activities to attend in between shows.

English dream-pop band Slowdive has recently been added to the festival, which will by far be one of the most sought-out performances of the weekend.

Check out Desert Daze’s amazing lineup poster, featuring the latest additions and broken down by day. Single-day tickets are now available in addition to three-day general admission and VIP passes. Visit the festival’s website for more info.

Desert Daze is happening October 12th-14th, 2018 in Lake Perris, California.

MBV is currently on tour. They'll be back in the States this Valentine's Day at Seattle's El Corazon.

17-year-old Ryan Beatty will be hosting a live concert for his fans this Valentine's Day on VyRT at 8pm EST.

What that means is you don't have to get out of your pajamas or make travel plans to enjoy Beatty's smooth, soulful singing voice as he sings his big #1 pop song, "Because of You".

"I'm very excited to be joining VyRT in giving my fans an intimate, live performance and to spend time with my fans all across the world in a fun, new and creative way," said Beatty. "I'm also very excited to perform some new songs that I have been writing for them."

MEN WITHOUT HATS
menwithouthats.com

You remember how excited I was to finally see Men Without Hats in Toronto a few years ago? Imagine my surprise to find out that the band hasn't tour the UK in over 20 years.

The band announced that they will be playing a very special Valentine's Day show in Stockholm on February 14th. This is part of their successful European tour.

Yes, if you were wondering, they have a new album called Love In The Age Of War, which we mentioned last year.

W♥M132: Shoegazing

W♥M132 (42 mins)

Shoegeezers Vu and Amy sit down to talk about Shoegazing/Shoegaze music.

Although "shoegazing" emerged from the UK in the late 80s, it wasn't until the early 90s, that the name really kicked into popularity because the UK music press (NME and Melody Maker) were using it to describe the bands and the audience for their tendencies to look at their feet at gigs.

This subgenre of alternative rock had some key elements: (1) Lots and lots of guitar effects and layers and (2) Indistinguishable vocal melodies that blend in the guitar noise

Bands on our list:

Slowdive (later Mojave 3)

Chapterhouse

My Bloody Valentine

Moose

Lush (early Lush)

Catherine Wheel

Fleeting Joys

Belong

DIIV (recently changed their name from Dive)

Twilight Sad

Ringo Deathstarr

Young Prisms

The Depreciation Guild

Song of the show is Catherine Wheel's "Black Metallic"

Just in time for the Kevin Shield's remastering of his My Bloody Valentine re-issues: Glider (Mar 27th), Ep's 1988 - 1991 (May 15th), Loveless (Jun 5th), and Isn't Anything (Jun 5th).

BONUS: Looper, not to be confused with the new Sci-Fi movie, but is the Scottish band that lived off "Mondo 77" for five years (thank you Tom Cruise), plus Dreampop and M83.
