tonight: Gary War, Teeth Mountain, The Super Vacations

Tonight, three bands with records released by our friends over at SHDWPLY swoop into town to blow your mind, or at least hold your head under water until you see stars.

I’ve been kind of obsessively listening to the
Gary War myspace recently. Gurgling late-night bedroom pop. Its kind of quiet, like trying not to wake the folks, and sounds like its being broadcast from the rings of Saturn — you know, where you’d rather be instead of home (trying not to wake the folks). I thought the Legendary Pink Dots were on ok reference point but the people I’ve talked to about it have been all ‘Ariel Ariel Ariel’! Now that I have the LP (a split release between SDWPLY and Disaro) I can hear a little of that, but maybe its just that he (Ariel) mastered it.

I’m told The Super Vacations is Gary War’s rock band. I’ve only briefly listened to the myspace but sounds accurate. 60’s Hash Rock or something. I don’t know!

Finally,
Teeth Mountain… after drinking this tea or smoking that bush a teeth mountain is probably what this group were seeing after they droned on whatever instruments they could find and grooved on that drum circle for twenty hours straight communing with whatever higher being they’re into (please please please don’t let it be as banal as ‘the universe’).
