Quick Notes: Ty Segall Band, Mondo Generator/Josh Homme/John Garcia, Melvins + More

*[consequenceofsound.net] Ty Segall Band — Ty Segall, Mikal Cronin, Charlie Moothart, and Emily Rose Epstein — will release their LP Slaughterhouse on June 26th via In the Red. You’ve already heard the lead single, “Wave Goodbye”. Now, RollingStone.com reveals the album track “I Bought My Eyes”, which you can download below.

Slaughterhouse marks the second album from Segall this year. He released a joint LP with White Fence earlier this spring, and a third, solo LP is planned for later this fall.

*[consequenceofsound.net] California bad-ass Nick Oliveri recently returned to his other stoner metal project, Mondo Generator, which just issued its fourth full-length, Hell Comes to Your Heart. Amidst a bevy of guests that include CJ Ramone and Blag Dahlia, Oliveri managed to nab his former Kyuss bandmates Josh Homme and John Garcia, despite their arsenal of differences, for a special one-off on the album’s closing track, “The Last Train”. Equal parts AC/DC, Motörhead, and Black Sabbath, Garcia’s vocals ricochet against Homme’s harmonies, and it’s more or less a clusterfuck. Still, it could soundtrack any Jason Statham-featuring bank robbery, or, shall we say, a two-hour SWAT team stand-off. Check it out below (via Antiquiet).



*[theprp.com] More newly-aired live footage of the Melvins on “Last Call With Carson Daly” has hit the net. Songs available include “We Are Doomed” and “Friends Before Larry“. The footage was captured at an April 13th, 2012 Los Angeles, CA performance by the band.

They will release their new album “Freak Puke“ as their Melvins Lite incarnation through Ipecac on June 05th.




*[stereogum.com] We’re a week away from the release of Endless Flowers, the newest album from the fuzzed-out San Francisco psych-rock BTW Crocodiles, and we’ve already heard their song “Sunday (Psychic Conversation #9).” And now, all we have to do to hear the album is head on over to Rolling Stone, where it’s streaming in full. Endless Flowers is out 6/5 on Frenchkiss.

*[consequenceofsound.net] Neil Young and Crazy Horse will release their first album in nine years, Americana, on June 5th via Reprise Records. Right now, you can stream the entire thing HERE (via RollingStone.com).

The 11-track effort features rearrangements of classic, American folk songs. Along with the album stream, the band has revealed music videos for “Oh Susannah”, “Jesus’ Chariot (She’ll Be Comin ’Round The Mountain)”, “Clementine”, and “God Save the Queen”. The band plans to follow up Americana with a second new studio album in September.

*[NME.com] Radiohead are planning to host a party to celebrate the Queen's Jubilee during their US tour, according to a tour insider. The Oxford band are currently touring the East Coast of the US in support of their latest album 'The King Of Limbs', but don't plan to let that get in the way of them celebrating the Queen's 60th anniversary of getting her crown.

According to BBC 6Music's Steve Lamacq, the band's head of security Colin has "packed numerous Union Jack and Jubilee tableware" and is "planning a Jubilee party in Washington DC at the weekend".

Radiohead will tour the UK in the autumn, playing their first UK dates in over three years. The band first play a show at Manchester's Evening News Arena on October 6 before playing two shows at London's O2 Arena on October 8 and 9. They will then undertake a full European tour. Caribou will provide support on all dates. They have also booked assorted European shows and festival appearances throughout the summer, including slots at Fuji Rock Festival and Bilbao BBK Live festival.

*[theprp.com] Refused have added a second Vancouver, BC show at the Vogue Theater in late August. The show will take place on August 26th with ticketing details available on the bands Facebook.

*[consequenceofsound.net] Beck performed with a famous ‘Jack’ at this weekend’s Sasquatch! Music Festival, but it wasn’t the one he just recorded a single with. Rather, Mr. Hansen’s encore featured Jack Black and Kyle Gass, AKA Tenacious D, who aided in performances of “Mutherfuker” and “E-Pro”. Watch fan footage below (via 107.7 The End).
