Finally an oasis in the newsletter desert…

Our Phil also plays drums in Telephone Numbers (when not playing in the Chime School live lineup) … hardest working drummer in Fogbiz…

Had a great time at The New Farm on Saturday. Next up: the Knockout this Thursday! Come help me (Allan) celebrate hitting double nickels!

Thanks @whitecratesf.bsky.social for the feature ahead of Saturday’s show at the new farm: whitecrate.org/neutrals-int...

I know what you’re thinking but we can’t be expected to save EVERY Oakland Weekender-related event from sucking. I’m sure this will be… fine…

Playing a couple of potentially very different gigs next month…

So flipping great. tonymolina650.bandcamp.com/album/dissed...

The algorithm chucked up this little flashback to our Kebab Disco album release at bottom of the hill back in June 2019… we haven’t played either of these songs in ages. Lost our appetite for comedy songs about cops… www.youtube.com/watch?v=-m6K...

Psyched to see this issue of Maggot Brain with the interview with Erika Elizabeth of Domestic Departure on the trials of running a truly DIY operation. Bonus! A photo of us!

I wouldn’t say essential TBH - for completists only!

From a year ago: Wrote about records from Ethan Beck & The Charlie Browns, Babe Report @babereport.bsky.social @eisrecords.bsky.social, Neutrals @neutrals.bsky.social @slumberlandrecords.com @staticshockrecords.bsky.social, and Winston Hightower @krecs.bsky.social:

Out now! Straight from the Bunker- streaming everywhere and available on vinyl from Dandy Boy Records it's the debut album from @grey_causeway_band (many people are saying it's the best record to come from 40th Street in quite some time)! dandyboyrecords.bandcamp.com/album/grey-c...

The new Lightheaded single is a *perfect* way to end the week. slumberlandrecs.lnk.to/view-from-yo...

For myriad reasons, I have never liked the Grateful Dead. I considered skipping this 4hr+ episode of my favourite pod. I am still not a fan (and in fact found more reasons to dislike them) but this episode is a must listen. @andrewhickey.500songs.com podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

Four years ago we saw a community unite to peacefully protect their neighbours from detention. This week we saw Prime Minister Keir Starmer mimicking Enoch Powell with speeches that vilify and scapegoat. Scotland must be the party of Kenmure Street, not Downing Street.

Something something Chicago something something Smoking Popes save to drafts finish later

Some jagged (post) punky sounds with the odd dubby electronic interloping. Includes Eraser*Cold Meat*The Ex*Collate*Crass* Rotary Club*Close Lobsters*Sacred Paws*Stuck + more @neutrals.bsky.social @perennialtheband.bsky.social @bikinibody.bsky.social www.mixcloud.com/deekay76/spl...
