PUREHONEY 97

ALL THE V WORDS – You may be asking yourself, “Haven’t I seen all of the people in this band before?” As you groove to infectious rock tunes a’la Blondie meets the Stooges. Yeah, they’ve got a decent pedigree to go along with the poppy tunes; some of South Florida’s finest. – Tim Moffat

Abel Folgar

AMERICAN SIGH – While the name might conjure a resignation of fate after a protracted battle against societal norms, American Sigh is Theo Matz’s humble WPB entry into a canon of forgotten pop craftsmanship. Modern in approach and leveled so instruments and vocals shine, there is an underlying nostalgia to its saccharine epidermis. – THE BLANK TAPES – “Laid-back psychedelic rock and roll vibes cast from a time gone, fresh in the now, emitting a groovy energy, which got the crowd sway-dancing through the night.” -The Bay Bridged “Alternating between dreamy and driving, dappled with delirious solos and seductive harmonies. The Blank Tapes radiated Ultraviolet Californian chords” -Blackmatter blog

BIG BLISS – “post punk inspired indie rock quartet from Brooklyn, NY, started in 2015 by brothers Tim / Cory Race and includes Wallace May and Ana Becker (Fruit & Flowers, Catty.) Their debut EP, ‘Keep Near,’ was released in 2016 and in the following years they’ve been referred to as “NYC’s Hardest Working Band 2017” by Oh My Rockness and “gorgeous…starkly beautiful” by Noisey BOSTON MARRIAGE – Feeling like you don’t want to leave your room? Straight out of Orange County (Florida, not LA), this indie trio composes beautiful, dreamy songs that’ll make you want to cry and stay inside. However, their stormy instrumentals and looming bass lines might also make you step outside to see them live. – Olivia Feldman COOLZEY – Golden era hip-hop roots planted in black Iowa dirt and tempered by 90s alternative era rock influence yields a juxtaposition of the dark, horrific nature of life paired with a slapstick and comedic view of the world, allowing for a wide, unpredictable arsenal of material ranging from soul-spilling indie bedroom rock to wise-cracking battle rap and on to radio pop.

THE DARLING FIRE – True to their namesake, The Darling Fire will set your humble soul aflame. With sweet satin vocals threaded through melancholic musings, they’ve doused their repertoire with emotion akin to gasoline and dropped the proverbial match. – Freddie Zandt THE DEWARS – WPB ex-pat twins Anthony / Zachary Dewar have the sporadic output expected from subscribers to the yachting life. Their music, lofty as it may seem, is firmly grounded and mature – a synthesis of what is like to be Floridian through a sound like the blues that sails knots away from standard, leaving a salty wind in your hair and catchy tunes to hum. – Abel Folgar DUST FUSS – As eerie and mysterious as the tumbleweed’s unassuming song, Dust Fuss are the devastatingly dreamy trio of modern cowgirls on a mission to sooth you, move you, and irrefutably groove you. – Freddie Zandt

LAS NUBES – The dreamy fuzz box punk of Las Nubes can only come from the confidence well of fortresses known as bedrooms. And since it did evolve from a bedroom project for singer/vocalist Ale Campos, this Miami trio infuses psych and pop into an open narrative of nostalgic reminiscence that has captured the ears and hearts of South Florida. – Abel Folgar LION COUNTRY FERRARI – If Wire had gone to art school in West Palm Beach and taken their punk angst from visual cues like drive-thru zoos and cocaine-fueled Italian sports vehicles they’d be named Lion Country Ferrari. Recalling synth-punk pioneers The Screamers and Florida’s Futurisk, they bring an earnest exuberance to Tascam 4-track recording. – Abel Folgar MAKOTO – Mathematical and proggy, Makoto explores itself within the context of the studio, distilling an essence that has been culled from different eras of jazz, 1970’s rock, grandiose arena gestures and a Rush-like devotion to their instruments. Jammy and eclectic, their sonic experience promises weight but once unleashed, it soars with feathery grace. – Abel Folgar MEGA FLUFF – Harmonies, hand claps and jangly guitars; sort of like if the Breeders went lo-fi indie pop and refused to pick a genre. That’s a Breeders based bouillabaisse of essential goods! But, you know, it’s Mega Fluff; all the good stuff none of the filler.– Tim Moffat NERVOUS MONKS – So you like earnest indie rock, but REM has been broken up for years and jangle pop just aint the same since college rock became mainstream crap.

What’s a fella to do? Settle down and get comfy, were going to drop the needle on the newest Monks record, it’s going to be alright. – Tim Moffat OBSIDIAN – The moody goth rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s lives on in this Fort Lauderdale band named after dark volcanic glass. The group’s gritty guitars and moaning vocals would make Robert Smith and Ian Curtis beam with gloomy pride. – Olivia Feldman PALOMINO BLOND – The farther out one goes from the epicenter of any major Metropolis, the more often one will find the locals have taken the concepts of the city and turned them into something new. Palomino Blond is Kendall’s idea of what a grunge based Miami rock band with pop sensibilities should sound like; Miami might want to take notice. – Tim Moffat PLEASER – Where Pleaser lands, a party is never far behind!

The band’s Lo-Fi airy grunge sound is complemented almost too perfectly by their puckish, whimsical charm. They are the aural manifestation of your worldly troubles blissfully melting into the ether. – Freddie Zandt SOUL PARTICLES – Soul Particles shuffle a deck of genres but land squarely in the earnest, lo-fi, indie-fook category.

There are shades of alt country and more than a smattering of Wilco mixed in with the batter to make a delightful cake of experimental pop. – Tim Moffat

ELECTRIC SUPPLY COMPANY – Take the Black Keys, meld them with My Morning Jacket, and you’ll get three guys and a girl who take psychedelic rock and sucker punch it with some Southern attitude. The Fort Lauderdale-based quartet sings about losing control in their powerful guitardriven tracks. – Olivia Feldman

SPIRIT & THE COSMIC HEART – Borne out of the necessity to fill the artistic dearth of their central Florida town, Spirit and the Cosmic Heart is a sextet of friends and family that radiates towards the cosmos a blanket of alt-pop-driven shoe-gaze. Their music is the type you can close your eyes for as you allow your body to become still and completely at ease. – Abel Folgar

THE FANTASTIC PLASTICS – The Fantastic Plastics are a Neo-New Wave band formed in NYC who describe themselves as “The Future of The Future” mixing new wave, synth punk, and electro elements with Orwellian and Sci-Fi inspired lyricism. Performing as a 2-piece live act, The Fantastic Plastics feature video installations, custom costumes, and sing-along anthems.

THE SPOONDOGS – From the sweaty garages of Orlando, the Spoon Dogs are reverb-accelerated, wild ‘60s teen punk in the acid sense. These jangled guitars explode from exhaust-filled rooms as vocals echo from tunnels of barbiturate abuse with percussive elements salvaged from the junkyard. It holds together and recalls brutal region rockers like the Zakary Thaks and the Prime Movers. – Abel Folgar

GHOST FLOWER – In an auditory incarnation of too much caffeine and not enough sleep, Ghostflower presents an explosive euphonic case study of tumultuous tension that will make you want to dance until dawn. – Freddie Zandt GHOST PARTY – If you’re dead inside, you might as well party it up on the outside, letting that raucous mess of bone and flesh erupt in rhythmic spasms. Such is the ethos of Boca’s Ghost Party, a rock n’ roll machine of deviant excess that has hilariously been endorsed by confused lovers of Christian rock across the social media channels begging the question: Does God love rock? We think she does. – Abel Folgar GLASS BODY – experimental indie rock pulsed through fuzzy dreams and distorted frequencies is a lush lawn of post-punk that lingers wistfully where the earth meets the sky – only that sky is a spiraling cacophony of Ben-Day dots channeling memories that have been lost to time or deliberately murdered by persons unknown. – Abel Folgar GLAZE – Broadcasting live from some magnificent pocket of the galaxy, Glaze brings you life through rose-colored glasses! Kick back on a journey through an uncharted sound sphere of revelations in reverb. – Freddie Zandt GRIMA – Simulcasting all over the planet Earth, from sunshiny Miami, Grima are here to stealthily seep their way into unassuming eardrums in a with a hypnotic euphonic mastery! Coming with the wryness of an early Pavement and romantic moroseness of The Cure, their melancholic indie reflections send shivers down your spine and hold a funhouse mirror to your face. – Freddie Zandt IN MOTION – Riddled with unrelenting emotion and savage angst, In Motion digs down deep into the abyss of the scorned human psyche. Their music is the explosion after so much pent up anguish you’d rather not admit to having.

– Freddie Zandt JR APOLLON – Grab your best gal, dip the bill, and ease right into the dulcet, tuneful refrains of J.R. Apollo.

The smooth jazz, blended masterfully with blues, bossanova, and swing will drift you into another time, another world; sweeping you away on a cloud, in a dream.

– Freddie Zandt

TIMOTHY EERIE – One-part Donovan, a dash of pre-glam T-Rex and double the dosage of psychedelic shoe-gaze and you have Timothy Eerie; If psilocybin made a sound, it would probably be this. From the depths of Orlando, it’s no surprise that copious ego deaths and deep grooves would emanate from the city that was made by a mouse.– Tim Moffat TORO JONES – Grab your katanas, kids! Toro Jones’ heart-pounding blend of cinematic surf-rock and rockabilly, spaghetti-western twang will have you bracing yourself for the Crazy 88 to vault over the bar in a rage of coolly spastic bloodlust at any given moment.

– Freddie Zandt THE TREETOPS – An attempt to stand stationary to the psychedelic 60’s blues-pop musings of The Treetops would be blatantly in vain. They’ve done the commendable service of bringing the mesmerizing groove of decades past into the 21st Century, where we so desperately need it most. – Freddie Zandt TURTLE GRENADE – The alter-ego of Miami-an Denise Gorrio, Turtle Grenade pours her DIY rock heart out about her insecurities and crazy quirks on her guitar in a way that young people can easily relate. In her high-pitched, nervous voice, you can hear your high school self echoing her embarrassments and immediately empathize. – Olivia Feldman VIOLET SILHOUETTE – Dance your way through time and space with an all out, in-your-face, dominating live performance by your soon-to-be favorite disastrous duo! Violet Femmes are saturated in synth and doused in a heavy dose of reverb, categorizing the band in a league all their own. – Freddie Zandt WINTER – Winter is the project of Samira Winter who’s love for dream pop, shoegaze and nostalgic sensibility inspired the four piece.

WOOLBRIGHT – Woolbright shines a fluorescent light on your own repressed, awkward, and somehow painfully beautiful coming of age story. They find allure in the darkness of reality and communicate it through gut-wrenching, melodic tunes. – Freddie Zandt WORN-TIN – “But these crazy onstage antics, soundtracked by his psychedelic, laidback love songs, have solidified Warner’s reputation as a must-see musician on the LA scene.” – VICE

WORN-TIN 9/13 Worn-Tin is the nom de plume of Warner Hiatt; a misrepresentation of Mr. Hiatt’s name. He’s 24 years of age and according to his bio he likes video games and his friend’s name is Burt. He also plays surfy garage rock with a bunch of like minds in Santa Monica. He has a reputation for wild shows, catchy tunes and being an all around good time.

If you’re surrounded by chaos, hijinks, shenanigans and dreamy tunes, you may have found yourself at a Worn-Tin show.

YOU HAVE A REPUTATION FOR SPONTANEOUS CHAOS AT YOUR SHOWS, HOW DOES THAT PART OF YOUR PERSONALITY INFORM WORN-TIN YOUR MUSIC, IF AT ALL? The music is the honest, emotional little baby that grows inside my belly. I always wanted to be a clown, I even reached for clown college at one point. I’m very inspired by the intense dichotomy of the dynamics in my life; loud and soft. I then like to take that and leave it all on the stage, I also know that a concert can be expensive, when I was young I’d go to shows all the time and that Sh*t adds up. If you come to my show, I’m gonna give you a run for your money;) CYCLES IS AN ALBUM DEALING WITH “OBSESSION,” WHAT IS YOUR CURRENT OBSESSION AND HOW DOES THAT AFFECT YOUR SONG WRITING/IF AT ALL? TO CLARIFY, DO YOU FIXATE ON THINGS UNTIL YOU CAN “EXORCISE” THE DEMONS OF THAT OBSESSION, OR IS THE PROCESS MORE ESOTERIC THAN THAT? Currently I’m facing a big distraction, and thats the colors, the lights and the noise. There are so many ads everywhere. So much technology and everyone is afraid to admit that its too much and that we’re addicted. I wrestle everyday with my phone. We’re losing out on the beauty in the world, we’re just killing time.

I find myself getting distracted.

Also during the writing of this record I realized I’ve been poisoned with the idea of a domesticity. I’m a love addict, I feel I have been brainwashed. I feel I constantly catch myself daydreaming of a life partner, when all I want to do is be alone. Why would a 24 year old boy be dreaming about a wife, kids and a dog living happily in a cabin outside of city life?

I must add it’s important to realize that not all obsessions or passions are bad, it’s how you deal with it that makes it dangerous.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE PART OF MAKING MUSIC? THE MAKING OR THE DOING (LIVE SHOWS)? WHY? Truly being alone with not a care in the world making whatever the hell is kicking in your mind. When you can let go of everything outside and just dance around and sing like a kid on christmas, there is no better feeling. It’s important to write for yourself, what you would wanna hear… the music you like! I really like recording, it took me a while to realize this but my songs have been letters to previous lovers, well… kind of. I love the live shows don’t get me wrong but there is something so therapeutic about letting go in a room alone and let your idea take the wheel.

WHO WAS THE FIRST ARTIST/PERSON TO INSPIRE YOU TO BE CREATIVE? This is a tough one cause everyone inspires me. My friends inspire me, Lovers inspire me, Hell the mailman inspires me. I get inspired from shows, dreams, and strangers. I’m not sure who the first was, but I will say there is a musician that first started my “Worn-Tin” journey. There was also a girl who helped me organize the way I was feeling, she was not qualified to take on my incredibly huge and confusing baggage but I really thank her for what she had done for me. Musically… Kelley Stoltz. He’s a musician from San Francisco who writes beautiful songs. His album “Below the Branches” really inspired me, especially in the way I record. It was after that album I bought my first upright and started writing songs.

YOU CAN HAVE COFFEE, DINNER AND DRINKS WITH ANY THREE PEOPLE IN HISTORY, WHO DO YOU HANG WITH FOR EACH AND WHY? Wow what a huge range. IN HISTORY, that could be anyone!!! I have to set some boundaries cause wouldn’t everyone be like… Jesus, Thomas Edison and Clay Aiken? I’m gonna go with people that are alive today. I’m gonna do a similar thing to the high school game “Fuck, Marry, Kill” but instead Coffee, Dinner Drinks cause we all know dinner with someone is a different vibe than if your getting drinks with them. Coffee with Ariel Pink. I’m a huge fan and would love to break down his recording process if he would be down to discuss. Dinner would be with Randy Newman. First off, I’m sure this guy knows where to get a delicious reuben in this town. Second, he is an absolute Genius and I would love to chat about his first record and get to the bottom of who the hell was “Davy the Fat Boy.” Drinks would be with my celebrity crush Rashida Jones (daughter of musical legend Quincy Jones). Smart, Elegant, and Stunning, she is so amazing, I think she is such an inspiration for young girls and boys to look up to. I would love to chat about her recent Netflix special “Hot Girls Wanted” and of course hear stories of what it was like on Parks & Rec, Sorry but I am quite a fan of that show.

BIG BLISS 9/14 Big Bliss is the hardest working band in Brooklyn, and that means a lot these days. They have a post-punk, dark wave sound that owes a debt to bands like Joy Division, Sisters of Mercy and The Fall, but they have a knack for finding streaks of light in the gloom. Singer-guitarist Tim Race talks with PureHoney.

IT SEEMS THAT POST-PUNK IS ABOUT TO MAKE A COMEBACK. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT AND BANDS LIKE CEREMONY, FOR INSTANCE, SWITCHING OVER TO MORE OF A POST-PUNK SOUND? I’d argue the comeback is in full swing and never totally disappeared post the early 00’s boom. I personally found the BIG BLISS style when I stumbled onto Anton Corbijn’s Ian Curtis biopic “Control,” so Joy Division, rightfully, served as my introduction to post punk.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE PART OF MAKING MUSIC? Our favorite part hands down is songwriting. We find it thrilling to land on a new riff, a new structure, a new lyric, etc. Our approach is to write 90% of the songs in real-time together in the room and so what we walk out with after a rehearsal is a tangible representation of a few hours of focused creative work.

WHAT’S NEXT? We’re psyched to be in pre-production for the first half of LP2. It’s being produced by Jonathan Schenke (Parquet Courts, The Drums, Snail Mail) across a few studios in Brooklyn. This next record is decidedly a shift from the mood of “At Middle Distance.” In a way it’s a bit brighter, though it functions as an attempt to compile the fallout from a lot of turmoil in our personal lives, a lot of loss and a lot of struggle, and hopefully in the end the record figures out how to make sense of all that and move forward. It’s the first batch of songs with our guitar player Ana Becker in the fold.

Bumblefest, with 37 bands on 6 stages for two nights, is Friday, September 13 and Saturday, September 14 in the 500 block of Clematis Street in downtown West Palm Beach. Admission is 18+. Doors open 7pm Friday, 5pm Saturday.

WINTER 9/14 Currently in L.A. finishing up tracks, WINTER hail from all over the globe — a fact that informs their art just as much as their musical influences. They are the brainchild of Samira Winter, who has lived all over, and they take inspiration from Brazilian pop, shoegaze and bands like the Clash to create garage-y, spacey fun with a touch of noisy psychedelia.

WINTER YOU HAVE A VERY ECLECTIC BACKGROUND, FROM BRAZIL TO BOSTON AND NOW L.A. HOW DO YOU THINK THAT HAS HELPED TO INFORM YOUR MUSIC AND YOUR CREATIVE PROCESS? I’ve definitely felt inspired by all the different places I’ve lived. Boston was crucial because I really fell in love with dream pop, shoe gaze and noise music while living there and that’s where I began Winter. In LA my mind has expanded to other genres and subtleties on being a performer and living a creative lifestyle.

WINTER’S NEW VIDEO “BONSAI” HAS BEEN DESCRIBED AS “DREAMY POP FOR STAYING IN YOUR ROOM” AND IT GIVES OFF A JULIE RUIN MEETS LISA FRANK VIBE. Yeah I could see that! For me it was naturally just the vibe of the song and working with director Ambar Navarro. We both were envisioning a really cute kind of kawaii music video at Marina Fini’s house which is entirely rainbow decorated.

WHO WAS THE FIRST ARTIST/PERSON TO INSPIRE YOU TO BE CREATIVE? That’s a hard question. I listened to a lot of Rilo Kiley and Liz Phair in high school and I would say both of them really inspired me musically and vocally. I think my love for music had been building up in middle school and high school and by the time I got to college my friend Tyler Taormina really gave me the motivation to start a band. A lot of times it comes from people that are close to you that believe in you and make you believe in yourself.

Bumblefest, with 37 bands on 6 stages for two nights, is Friday, September 13 and Saturday, September 14 in the 500 block of Clematis Street in downtown West Palm Beach. Admission is 18+. Doors open 7pm Friday, 5pm Saturday.

THE FANTASTIC PLASTICS 9/13 Conceptually, plastic has modernized mankind, and by its unprecedented use, it will destroy it. Plasticity has devolved into intangible ideologies — fake people, pretend money and moral malleability, among others. It is synonymous with wanton consumption. It is also fantastic.

KILL YOUR IDOL

Neo-New Wave synth punkers, the Fantastic Plastics, have further distilled the idea into one of the more innovative DIY marketing approaches to hit the indie rock scene in the millennium. The two-piece act of Miranda and Tyson, originally from Champaign, Ill., have forged an immersive sci-fi experience featuring video installations, custom costumes and sing-along anthems.

“We are trying to predict where the future of music is going,” Tyson tells PureHoney.

“We’ve started doing weekly live concerts on Twitch in order to connect with fans we’ve made on tour. It’s really rad. The real time interaction is unlike anything else.”

THE FANTASTIC PLASTICS

Twitch.tv is a live-streaming gaming platform owned by Amazon with over 15 million daily users. It has allowed the Fantastic Plastics to create marathon virtual tours from the comfort of their studio — a boon for a band with day jobs and bulky gear including synths and a Theremin.

“Multiple nights a week, we stream a live concert/Q&A on Twitch,” he said. “Our viewers have a running live chat that we can see and interact with. They ask us questions, request songs, fans converse with each other. It has a real party vibe to it all and Twitch makes it fun by including animated gifs and sounds they can trigger onto the stream.”

RAD SHOWS, ALCOHOL, ETC. OPEN TIL 5AM DAILY

For a band influenced by Devo, their technological timing couldn’t be better.

The band’s real-time online accessibility promotes a unique connection with fans.

Twitch also saves streams for 30 days, so anyone interested can replay them — like eavesdropping on a party line.

“It’s all about lifting each other and enjoying the experience,” says Tyson. “It’s a Utopia in what has largely become a Dystopian world.”

Bumblefest, with 37 bands on 6 stages for two nights, is Friday, September 13 and Saturday, September 14 in the 500 block of Clematis Street in downtown West Palm Beach. Admission is 18+. Doors open 7pm Friday, 5pm Saturday.

THE BLANK TAPES: FROM LA TO joshua tree to bumblefest 9/14

HOW LONG HAS THE BLANK TAPES BEEN A UNIT? The current line up has been playing together for only a few months, but the band has been around for over 15 years.

YOUR MUSIC IS WARM AND WHIMSICAL WITHOUT SACRIFICING AMBIENT DEPTH. WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO COMMUNICATE TO YOUR AUDIENCE? I guess I’m just trying to communicate how I feel. I’m a huge fan of the musicality and cleverness of old pop music with topical or personal lyrics. I also love making a complex chord and harmony progression sound easy and natural. As for my subject matter, I try not to hold back from writing about unusual or weird things or adding some humor into the music. I’m also a big fan of breaking rules in music theory and to add as many “blue notes” as I can without making it too dissonant.

That being said, I write because I have to get something out of my head or heart.

VIDEOS AND COVER ART ALIKE, YOUR VISUALS SEEM TO BE ENTWINED HARMONIOUSLY WITH YOUR MUSIC. WHAT GOES INTO THE VISUAL ASPECT OF THE BAND? Thanks, aside from the music, I’ve also been an illustrator & cartoonist for longer than I’ve been doing music. That being said, I do all the art for my band as well as art for numerous other bands and promoters all over the world including the Grateful Dead, Chris Robinson, FolkYeah Presents, Langhorne Slim & many others.

As for the videos, I made about half of the ones on YouTube and the other half were done by talented people that more or less get my vibe. I love doing it all, even taking photos for the album covers. If I didn’t do music or drawing I’d get into photography and film.

WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ALL OF THE BAND MEMBERS? HOW DID THE BLANK TAPES MANIFEST? I came up with the band name in Los Angeles back in 2003 before I even really had a band. I was located in San Francisco & Oakland from 2004 to 2011 then I came back to Los Angeles and now I’m 2 hours east in Joshua Tree but I’m still kinda based out of LA. I seem to change or add a few band members every couple of years depending on where I’m living. The size ranges from a 3-5 piece band with members located all over California and even Austin, Texas, Brazil & Germany. Currently I have Veronica Bianqui singing and playing rhythm guitar and keyboard with me. She’s been in the band for over 4 years now. On drums we have Sal Joseph who’s been in the band for over a year. I met him when we were both playing in Veronica’s band. On bass is the newest member of the band, Sam Faw, from the SF bay area formerly of The Electric Magpie.

WHAT DOES CALIFORNIA AS AN ENTITY LEND TO YOUR MUSIC? I grew up by the beach, briefly lived in the woods, visited the neighboring mountains and am currently living in the high desert, so I’ve been soaking up the different landscapes of California all my life. I love the beauty and the pop culture of this state. Great cities and towns, amazing music and art and a pretty diverse kind of people. I think the laid back west coast attitude has just become a part of my being. I love traveling and visiting the world but California is definitely home.

That being said, I’m actually writing this from a janky old computer in Guatemala’s 2nd biggest city, Quetzaltenango, also known as Xela.

WHAT DO YOU SEE FOR THE FUTURE OF PSYCHEDELIC MUSIC? Hard to say. It seems lately the trend went from ’60s psych to ’70s rock and yacht rock. I’ve always been a bit in my own world not paying too much attention to what other artists are doing. As far as I’m concerned, the kind of psychedelic music I’m interested in is less about effects and recording tricks and more about melodies, chord sequences, rhythmic shifts and new lyrical ideas. That being said, psychedelic music has always been just one aspect of my music. I equally love soul, folk, surf & pop music. A simple song can hit me just as hard as a crazy psych one that melts your face off.

I HAVE A COUPLE OF GUESSES, BUT WHO INFLUENCES YOU THE MOST MUSICALLY AND WHAT IS IT SPECIFICALLY YOU DRAW FROM THEM? As a teenager it was the Beatles, the Kinks, the Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Leonard Cohen, CCR, Velvet Underground as well as some slightly more modern influences like Beck, the Clash, Frank Black and stuff like that. My first favorite band as a kid was Guns N’ Roses. Like I said about some of the older music, those writers had such a knack for catchy melodies. I loved the guitar playing of Hendrix, Jimmy Page, and even Slash so that got me wanting to solo although initially I had somewhat of a punk rock attitude about not really playing solos. Now I fully embrace my shredabilities and push it as far as I can every performance. I love the humor of Beck and Ray Davies of the Kinks and the poetry of Leonard Cohen.

CCR and the Velvet Underground’s rhythm is the beat of my heart.

There’s some great modern bands too but as studies have shown you develop most of your lifelong musical tastes as a teenager and young adult. John Lennon said something about either you’re listening to music or you’re making music, and I have too many songs floating in my head for me to absorb too much else of what other people are doing.

WHO ARE YOUR INFLUENCES OUTSIDE OF MUSIC? As I’ve mentioned, visual art has been a huge part of my life since I could hold a crayon. I have a song on Soundcloud called “William Wray” about an artist I’ve been working for on and off since the early 2000’s. He worked on “Ren & Stimpy” and I assisted him on a comic strip for MAD Magazine for a few years. In the song I mention most of my art heroes like Sam Keith, Bill Watterson, some of the Looney Tunes guys, etc. Most people say my style reminds them of R. Crumb or Rick Griffin but I actually didn’t get into them ’til much much later in my life once I had more or less developed my own style. Bill (William) Wray definitely had a huge impact on my artistic approach and drawing technique having worked under him for so long.

Outside of art, I love movie directors like Paul Thomas Anderson (which I had the amazing opportunity to be an extra in his film “Inherent Vice”), Stanley Kubrick and the Coen Brothers (who doesn’t!). So many other influences in this world. I eat, drink and dream music so I try to broaden my horizons when I can so I’m not completely 2 dimensional.

IT’S MORE THAN APPARENT THAT THE BLANK TAPES EFFORTLESSLY TRANSMITS JOY WITH ITS MUSIC, BOTH LIVE AND RECORDED. WHAT IS IT YOU AIM TO IMPRINT ON YOUR AUDIENCE IN BOTH SETTINGS? For live shows I’m trying to keep the mood upbeat for the most. I remember seeing Radiohead at a festival years ago and I was sickened by the crowd singing along to the end of “Exit Music (For a Film)” or whatever it’s called from “OK Computer.” The whole crowd was singing “I hope that you choke” and I’m thinking, what a fucked up thing to have so many people collectively singing such a negative message. I like Radiohead to an extent and I know the audience was enjoying the song, but given the power Thom Yorke had, I’d much rather it be a different kind of message.

I saw Paul McCartney at Dodger Stadium last month and people were crying all around me because they were overwhelmed with his message of love he chose to share with the audience. I know we’re all multifaceted complex humans and I get depressed and angry like most but given the opportunity to share a message publicly comes a certain responsibility. Some audiences don’t care about what they’re hearing but I do. I love melancholy music like Leonard Cohen and a lot of those old country singers but to me there’s a feeling of hope in there. I literally cried like a baby when Leonard Cohen died as I was listening to his music. I guess it’s all relative, my old art school roommate thought he was the most depressing sounding guy I ever but to me it came from a place of love.

WITH TECHNOLOGY COMPLETELY OVERTAKING THE AIRWAVES IN EVERY POP GENRE, WHAT IS IT ABOUT AN ANALOG FEEL THAT’S IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO RESPECT & CONVEY? One regret I have about my band name is that I’m now pigeonholed to being an analog purist. A lot of my latest records were completely digital like my last full length album “Candy.” my most recent EP was half analog and half digital. My band started off as more of an analog recording project after I got disenchanted with the endless options of recording digitally. I wanted to change my approach from countless overdubs to just adding what’s essential. Over the years I’ve felt limited by only using 8 or 16 tracks (24 seems to be a good amount but I rarely have access to a 24 track tape machine). My approach over the last 10 years has been to do whatever I want as long as it sounds good to me and the music is coming across the way I want it to. I pay for pretty much all of my recordings myself so I have to just work with what I can do myself or what I can afford. I love what you can do with digital technology and I love the sound and approach of analog technology, be it music or film or whatever. Now it’s all about the marriage of the two while analog still exists in some capacity.

WHO’S YOUR DREAM COLLAB? I don’t know. I used to love Beck but I haven’t been a fan of what he’s been doing lately. I think he’s a great producer when he’s not doing his cookie cutter radio pop. I toured with Jonathan Wilson across the USA but haven’t gotten a chance to record with him. I like to work with people who come from the same school of rock as me so I can trust that they’ll have great ideas.

WITH YOUR IMPRESSIVE CATALOGUE OF MUSIC, YOU SEEM TO HAVE EVOLVED GRADUALLY AND CONSISTENTLY FROM ALBUM TO ALBUM. WHAT’S IN STORE FOR THE BLANK TAPES GOING FORWARD? I have 5 albums that I’m currently working on with about 200 additional songs to record. One is finished, another is almost done and the others are in different stages. I literally have my L-R (Sal Joseph, Veronica Bianqui, Matt Adams, Sam Faw) work cut out for me until I’m dead. The next album is our most hard rocking yet with my most ambitious guitar work. The one after that is more of a classic psych pop record covered in strings. I have a cosmic Americana double album recorded mostly live with pedal steel that I can’t wait to release. Tons of other songs that I love and can’t wait to share, but it’s just so damn time consuming doing it all mostly myself that I can’t get them out fast enough. I envy bands like King Gizzard and CCR back in the day that could release 3 albums in a year. I’d happily release an album a month if I could. Some say I should edit myself more, but that’s not really a concern of mine. I’d rather release as much as I can and let the audience figure out what they like.

ROBOT UPRISING OR APE OVERLORDS; WHICH ARE YOU EXPECTING AND WHICH WOULD YOU PREFER? Well, if you’ve seen “Terminator 2,” you know that’s not going to end well. There’s still a fighting chance against some apes.

Out from the depths of our black, industrious hearts seeps the painstaking cry of our souls, this sound eloquently manifested in the guttural echoing screams of singer Tatiana Shmailyuk and the music of her band, Jinjer.

Hailing from Donetsk, Ukraine, Jinjer drag their hauntingly somber heavy metal ensemble all over the globe. With seething industrial theatrics, their live show is like watching a glorified, gutwrenching goth opera give birth to itself in mesmerizing real time.

JINJER

With a dichotomic and unassuming allure, Shmailyk stands at the forefront of the stage, head bowed in seeming meditation, waiting eerily for her cue. At the break of a symbol, she opens her eyes and mouth in tandem and out pours not the voice of a meek, fragile young woman, but a thousand voices likened to the Yuki-onna demon of Japan or the Succubus herself. From here, her bafflingly impressive range can switch on a dime to a voice fit for the Broadway stage.

Already a unit for two decades, Jinjer took an old-school approach to their evolution, especially where recording is concerned. Even in this age of overtly accessible production means, the band didn’t produce their first studio album, “Inhale, Don’t Breathe,” until 2012, three years after their formation. Up to that point pouring themselves into their music, constantly writing, practicing, and playing gigs around the Ukraine metal circuit. Following their first cult classic came two subsequent studio albums, “Cloud Factory” (2014) and “King of Everything” (2016), plus two solid EPs, “Objects in Mirror Are Closer Than They Appear” (2010) and this year’s “Micro.”

In a harmonious complement to their sound, Jinjer will be joined on tour by thrash metal group The Browning, out of Kansas City, Missouri. Over the course of their evolving tenure together, The Browning have evolved from their rap/metal roots to an extremely fast-paced electronic death-metal tone melding various subgenres.

This show promises to dig brutally deep, down to the netherworld of your mortal soul, rearrange some stuff you’d rather not realize was in there, and leave you proverbially bleeding your sins out on the dirty, sweat and beer soaked venue floor.

Jinjer perform 7pm Wednesday September 25 at Respectable Street in West Palm Beach. jinjer-metal.com ~ Freddie Zandt

BLACKHEART BURLESQUE .

Once upon a time, the worlds of burlesque, alternative rock and nerdy pop culture were galaxies apart, separated by sub culture like the food groups on the nutritional pyramid. But at some point in the pop continuum the nexus of all things sleazy, alternative and underground merged. Burlesque was a thing that shore leave sailors and bikers enjoyed in smoky bars. And then SUICIDE GIRLS it became a thing that heavily tattooed girls into “Star Wars,” punk rock and roller derby did for fun. Who knew Generation X was going to rile the culture in such profoundly titillating ways?

Suicide Girls emerged in the early aughts and were like, get over it, we like what we like and we are who we are and we want to be nude, ’cause that’s what we want to do. They’ve been tearing down walls and giving voice to girls and boys with an exhibitionist streak and opinions about, well everything, without shame or judgement steadily since. Their Blackheart Burlesque Show is the culmination of all those opinions, obsessions, interests and showboating flair. Unlike other forms of adult entertainment, the power here resides entirely with the performers. They don’t need your money; they already got it at the door. The audience makes no demands. Part stage show, part burlesque, it’s like comic con with less clothing and more snark. Who doesn’t love a saucy woman who knows what she’s about and isn’t inhibited to show it?

The Suicide Girls started a revolution in 2001 that has been copied but never duplicated as the website promotes freedom of expression but never devolves into porn. Sort of the alternative Playboy for a generation raised on hip-hop, punk rock and irony; meaning they would probably flat out say they hated that analogy but might secretly appreciate it. What else would one expect from free-thinking radicals who have embraced their own viewpoints, sexuality, and bodies of all shapes, sizes, colors and genders, and found a way to synthesize everything into one cohesive ideology. And they don’t really care if you get it our not — it ain’t about you. You just get to watch.

BAD RELIGION at revlive Bad Religion’s crossed-out cross is one of the most iconic and enduring band logos in rock history.

Of course, it had to be created by angry L.A. teenagers who joined the punk rock ranks in the dying days of the disco decade. Along the way, they’ve had polarizing moments — missteps even — but they have remained true to their sound: influencing many and outlasting them all.

A little over 23 years ago, at the beginning of their major label years, Bad Religion performed at Revolution Live (then known as BAD RELIGION The Edge), bringing their erudite, melodic Southern California hardcore sound to a packed venue. Garbage cans were tossed from the second floor while singer Greg Graffin made jokes about Florida’s fresh water woes and lectured on global warming.

“This is great, at least I don’t have to work at Epitaph anymore,” bassist Jay Bentley told me afterwards about them signing to Atlantic Records. I’ll never forget how happily he said that and how enthused he was to just play music.

Bentley, a founding member of Bad Religion and veteran of the LA punk scene, had by that point — April 11, 1996 — already put serious work into a project that showed what punk rock could be.

Bad Religion turn 40 next year. As their new album (their 17th), “Age of Unreason” indicates, they are not slowing down or pulling punches against the wanton stupidity they’ve been witnessing since high school.

The founding trio of Bentley, Graffin and Epitaph Records founder Brett Gurewitz is rounded out by longtime guitarist Brian Baker (who joined the band for that ’96 tour and has full Washington, D.C. punk rock pedigree via Minor Threat, Dag Nasty and Government Issue), … And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead drummer Jamie Miller, and former Channel 3 guitarist Mike Dimkich.

On a recent episode of Damian Abraham’s podcast, Turned Out a Punk, Bentley reminisced, and it was clear the spark that initially drove him to punk rock is still very much alive and so is the impetus to play. Maybe this time around his bandmate Graffin will weigh in on beach erosion.
