Too Many Creeps

This weekend is gonna be crazzzy.

Show at the Swamp tonight too.

That's SO Goth.

The Lauren’s second annual Goth Revival party was immaculately melancholy. Ray Suburbia opened for The Cramps cover band (BITCHIN) by reading some deep ass Baudelaire.







“Oh, I puked and passed out, but can I tell you something? I had a GREAT time last night!”

Man, I was just thinking about seeing Sprickets play at boobys last friday, they were so good! Rumor has it they will be recording some songs in their new super-group form soon, can't wait.

Goner Fest

The babiemecca crew went to Goner Fest 6 in Memphis this past weekend. Got to hang out with Ty Segall and JEFF the Brotherhood again, rad dudes. Saw a lot of awesome bands, including Thee Oh Sees, The Intelligence, The Mantles, The Fresh & Onlys + more. Carbondale pool partay!

Ty Segall / JEFF the Brotherhood Show

Finally got a chance to hear Ty's new record Lemons (on Goner), not as explosive as the S/T LP (on Castle Face) but righteous jams nonetheless.
