Marathon Show coming soon.
Things are coming together suprisingly fast for the Machine Gun Kristin Marathon Show in August. I'll have a more official announcement soon but all three of Kristin's current bands will be playing the same show. We're gonna wear that girl out! All that plus St Louis indiepop legends Bunnygrunt will be playing. I can't wait!

Boy Trades iPod for Sony Walkman.
This article made me laugh out loud. LOL. It's a rather lengthy compare and contrast review of a Sony Walkman by a 13 year old kid. One of my favorite parts was when it figured him out three days that tapes had two sides. That and the reaction by his schoolteacher. Read the article from BBC.

More Surfer Blood!!!!! The band plays The Cameo Theatre, a new place for shows.
Besides my love for Surfer Blood it's the new venue just outside downtown Orlando that's pretty much making the news here. It's called The Cameo Theatre. I've not-so-secretly coveted this building for years now. I remember when The Trapper Keeper, an all-ages music venue my friends and I ran a few years ago, was shut down by the city at it's second location I wanted to move the venue to this building. I heard Surfer Blood was booked here so I was just as excited to check out the building as to see the band. Read review here.

I love when my favorite bands get back together.
NYC band Versus leaked on their Myspace blog they are, in fact, not only officially back together, with Ed Baluyut is back behind drums, but also already in the studio recording a new album. In their music player they have added a recent performance of their 1994 album 'The Stars Are Insane' in it's entirety. If that's not enough you can download their first EP 'Let's Electrify' (courtesy Willfully Obscure blog), once a rare holy grail find.

Here's a great video from last Thursday in NYC. They are playing "River" and I always love hearing that octave guitar solo at 4:01. Enjoy!

I love Hipster Runoff, it makes me laugh.
Latest post 'U, Me, And Every Concert We Attend: How We Grow Older With Concerts' deals with the passage of time of going to "shows" and "concerts". A must read! Hilarious.... true????

Francis Harold and the Holograms come to Orlando and melt faces.
I think Arizona band Francis Harold and the Holograms came to Orlando on a Sunday night to melt people's faces. A tough job for most but not this band. The day before they played an Urban Outfitter in Atlanta. I wish I could have seen that spectacle. This isn't a mall friendly band, for sure. READ MORE.

Man, I really hate this digital teevee nonsense.
I've been cursing up a storm over this digital transition. Yeah, I guess I am one of those "poor" people that can't afford cable. Whatever. I once could watch some teevee, now I can watch none. Way to go United States. Yay love that government! It works for me! We finally got a converter box yesterday and I hooked it up all right but none of the channels come in. The picture and sound jump around like Max Headroom. Wow. Now, it's either everything or nothing. No "barely tuned in but I can still see it" teevee viewing. Gone! Thanks for replacing "old" technology with something INFERIOR. I'm sure digital will be better than analog some day. BUT NOT TODAY. Even when I watch teevee at my friends or parents homes that have cable their picture cuts in and out, too. I kept asking how is it beneficial to miss parts of whatever you are watching? Lame.

Well, I can't watch Wheel of Fortune again tonight. Kristin would roll her eyes at me but I am pretty good at solving the puzzle before everyone else.

Oh, no! Where's The People's Court?????

Oh, Dan Newlin.... where art thou?

Rough beard day?

C'mon! I gotta see Rob Lowe!

For Orlando eyes only.
This is what you will be doing on Saturday. We have something cool planned so don't miss out.

The Lo-Fi Anti-Folk night at Stardust is the perfect substitute for an empty-room rock club.
This show was billed as a live lo-fi (anti) folk show. Though not entirely sure what that means but this night was definitely a decent peek into the growing pop scene in Orlando, a very incestuous scene at that as we'll get into. Unnappointed scene leader Omar Delarosa (Little Insects) put this night together and I was impressed with the turnout. Lots of people out to hear music. This is good news to someone who needs good news. READ MORE, PICTURES AND VIDEO.

Tres Bien and Mumpsy blow the roof of Bar BQ Bar. Seriously but not literally.
It doesn't surprise me at all of the success of these free Tuesday night shows at downtown Orlando "hipster bar" Bar BQ Bar. They brought them back late 2008 after a four/five year old hiatus. One of my old bands played there in 2002-3 and it was one of the most fun shows we had. I've attended several of these shows this year as well as played one earlier this year as Hot Hands. It's fun because it's a steady albeit random crowd coming and going......... longtime Kick Bright Zine favorites Tres Bien arrived to Orlando on yet another east coast tour.......... Read review, pictures and video here.

Sunday June 14, 2009.

I found a blog that has for download one of my favorite all-time indiepop albums. If you are an old Kick Bright reader you will remember me gushing about them years ago. The band is Moped. The album is called 'It Won't Sound Any Better Tomorrow' and it came out in 1996. Soooo good. Give it a listen. For fans of Superchunk and any of Juliana Hatfield's bands.

I have tons of new show reviews coming up this week. Excited!

Saturday June 6, 2009.

New poster I've been working on for next weeks show:

We (Hot Hands) are playing with a really really good pop band from Atlanta called Howlies. We played with them in Tampa last year and we can attest they are pretty good. If you liked The Goodnight Loving that came through town last month you will like this band to. In the same vein, you know? Also Orlando band The Dealers are playing....... and something called Buck Roger's Balls.... which may or may not be Mumpsy...... there is something afoot about what they are going to do..... costumes? Hmmmmm. Come out this Thursday to Wills Pub.

Updated the Orlando shows page and added more bookmarks to the Friends/Favorites Links list in the right hand column.

Here's a couple of videos from Hot Hands the other night.

Tuesday May 12, 2009.

I added a ton of links on the Orlando Events page and the sidebar on the right.

Also Hot Hands was added to a show tomorrow Wednesday night at Uncle Lou's. Doors at 9pm. $4 cover. Chicago band The Krunchies will be joining us as well as Weapons To Go. It's our first show since January.

Saturday May 9, 2009.

There's a new song from Hot Hands posted on our Myspace. It's called "Breakup/Makeup". We wrote and recorded it this past Tuesday. It's got an awesome sound byte at the beginning and a killer drum part at the end.

In other good news you can see boobies at Disney. Don't believe me?

Defame Orlando shuts down for good (again). What webpages/blogs are left to read about Orlando? The Orlando Sentinel or the Soundboard Blog? The Floriduh blog is pretty funny, though. The Orlando Weekly? Uhhhhh, no? And don't you dare say Fucking Stop. Haha. We may be left with Here For Kicks, which is both hilarious and disturbing and even more shocking has been around since the end of 2007. Warning- that link is not for the faint of heart or politically correct. If you make it to naked guitar hero- let me know. But don't call the cops, either.

From The Orlando Weekly: The Devil's Music. This is what happens to music places in Central Florida.

And this is cute:

Have you seen this? The senior class of Cypress Creek High School placed chairs from portable classrooms on top of the roof. Gotta love school pranks.

Wednesday April 22, 2009.

The Goodnight Loving, Slippery Slopes, Mumpsy rock out Wills Pub.
I am thinking there is so much good going for the north Mills Avenue area as far as live music in Orlando. There's the new Wills Pub (last time I saw "new"), Uncle Lou's, The Peacock Room and if you count house shows the Lo-Fi house can count as well. There's always close parking and not once have I been HASSLED BY BUMS. Has anyone ever gone downtown without being chased down or followed by homeless people or not finding a parking spot? I think not. I hate it!

Busy busy busy. A lot upcoming.

Please check out the Hot Hands myspace. We finished a recording that will be featured on an upcoming Shedding/Green Carpet Pop Records compilation. It's a brand new song that we made just for the comp. We are making more copies of our cassette release. And we have some amazing blue glitter decals. We've got a few shows in May. Anyone want to tour with us June-August anytime? Ride with us in our van!

Tuesday March 31, 2009.

I'm still recovering from the weekend. Exhausting. Until the full report of everything that went down here's a video from Black Lips on Monday night.

Thursday March 26, 2009.

So what's going on? Not much here. I'm trying my best to avoid the internet. I still haven't seen (or had opportunity to go see) the last Battlestar Galactica episode so I don't want any spoilers. Kristin and I were in search of a particular item yesterday: a Grimace bobblehead. Didn't find one. I want one for the dashboard of our van. I fell asleep last night during Lost.

There's not too many albums I go out the day they get released but I did on Tuesday to get the brand new 1990's album 'Kick' on Rough Trade Records. I still haven't listened to the whole thing yet. Pretty good so far. I love that band. They better come to the States this year. I may have to travel but believe me- I will be there.

I'm looking forward to this weekend. There's a lot to do.

Onto recents shows:

Two shows, one night: The Coathangers vs The Rondos & Garbo's Daughter @ The Social & Wills Pub - Orlando, Florida.

I had two shows to go to tonight, one at the Social and the other at Wills Pub.

Over at the Social they had a weird bill with one band I've been wanting to see for about two years opening. It took them long enough but Atlanta all-girl band The Coathangers finally made their first trip to Central Florida. They cancelled one date just about a year ago (much to my dismay). It took them getting thrown onto a mini tour with a couple of bands that have nothing to do with each other, musically at least. Label mates These Arms Are Snakes and Young Widows asked them to fill on for some band that cancelled. Those bands are loud and rocking. A far cry from the music of The Coathangers- which is way more fun and poppy.

For those in the Central Florida Area, it's that time of the year the Florida Film Festival takes over town. The festival lasts ten days (starting Friday) showing the best in independent film from all over the world. This year they have one showing of a movie I am SUPER EXCITED about. They nabbed a screening of the movie about the Showbiz Pizza band called The Rock-Afire Explosion. It will have one showing this Sunday March 29th at 3:30pm. If you are free this is a must-see.

You can read more about the movie and see the movie trailer on the Florida Film Fests webpage here. All the other films and schedule are here. 

Monday March 23, 2009.

Here's a video from Saving Twilight this past weekend. There was crowd surfing at Uncle Lou's during our set. It was quite a sight.

Wednesday March 18, 2009.

What is this? The year of mugshots?
Well, I watch the news tonight and the lead story is about a cold case murder being solved. Arrested for the murder of her husband is my second grade teacher Mrs Laster. Crazy! She was definitely the meanest teacher I ever had. She used to walk around with a light blue colored ping pong paddle and would hit students with it. It would make the loudest sound and used to scare little second grade Jeffrey.

Probably not to many people would know what the JeffreyList was. It was one of those list-serv email list things that was part of early Kick Bright. It was the only "community" oriented forum I ever allowed. Readers of Kick Bright from all over the world talked about everything you could think of. Former listee Tracie, from Chicago, wrote a nice little article about it.

King Khan and the Shrines, The Strangers Family Band, The Hex Tremors @ Wills Pub. Orlando, Florida.

There was a lot of fallout from St. Augustine's Harvest of Hope Festival happening in Orlando this Sunday night. Among others bands that performed at that huge festival, Bad Brains and Against Me were playing somewhere in town. I thought the best option was definitely King Khan and the Shrines at Wills Pub because not many things are greater than a group of nine pasty white Germans playing vintage styled Soul music with a charismatic Indian as front man. And they have their own pom-pom glitter-throwing cheerleader. More pictures and videos.

The Pachisi Champion @ Stardust.
"Homeless, I am open to anything"

The myspace page for Colorado band The Pachisi Champion says they formed one day in January and went on tour the next day. The tour dates they list are sporadic, reaching from Colorado to Florida to the upper east coast. Most dates, cities and venues are listed with a TBA. Did these guys really just decide to go on a tour for a couple of months on a whim? Without any booked shows? Little do I know I am about to witness one of the most moving shows I have ever seen. More picture and video.

Tuesday March 10, 2009.

I'm one of those record nerds. If an album has been released in the past year or two only on CD, I don't have it. I've been on the hunt for replacing some of my all time favorite records from CD to vinyl. Tonight I've been listening to the first two Nord Express records, both on Slumberland Records, which are both amazingly still in print. In this day where bands like Crystal Stilts, Vivian Girls and Love Is All are getting so popular it's so important to check out the bands before them. Any fan of reverberated pop should be required to have some Nord Express. They are a severly underlooked and underappreciated band.

Also recently arrived at my doorstep was the first The Kiss Offs full length record 'Goodbye Private Life', which is one of the best albums EVER..... according to me. Hot Hands does a cover off that album ("Never Been Kissed"). That album is still in print. Peekaboo Records still has copies. Take a hint, people! Best album EVER, fun fun fun.

Yes, we are going to have a record reviews section very, very soon here on Kick Bright.

What about this new amazing new Orlando band Cotton Candy Cookies and Cream?
I'm always felt a little iffy about Black Box Collective. It's a great idea. For one, it's the areas always all ages place for shows since the closing of the Trapper Keeper. They also do lots of art shows, hip hop nights, graffiti galore, break dancing contests, art functions for kids... basically anything goes on.

I announced a couple of weeks ago that Pop Mayhem in Gainesville was going to be held this May. The dates have changed to August. This years fest conflicted with two other Popfest around the country (New York and San Francisco). This is a smart move in light of the Athens Popfest, also held in August, being cancelled for this year. Something about a bad economy. Pop Mayhem can swiftly move in to replace that Festival. Announcements will be at www.popmayhem.com or their Myspace.

Tuesday February 24, 2009.

I am a usual thrift store junkie but lately I haven't been out on too many ventures. The usual places I haunt have been changing-- not in a good way. I used to love the Community Thrift Stores but prices there have skyrocketed. Seriously, through the roof. Not to mention their super strict rules and rude staff. I am just shocked-- antique stores and malls have better prices. New to me: BOTH Savers have closed. The OBT one closed two Decembers ago and now the one way out in west Orlando has closed. I find this out after I drive all the way out there. Also, the Salvation Army has raised prices for just ordinary items. What the heck?

For the past maybe three years or so I've had a specialization (Kristin would call it an "addiction" I'm sure) of collecting hanging art and frames from thrift stores. You name it I have it: velvets paintings, magazine ads, actual art, posters, handmade art, family photographs.... a little of everything. I've accumulated so many frames I don't have room for everything. I have boxes and boxes full. I've run out of wall space. I should stop but if I find something I can't pass up-- I don't. Last weeks adventures were:

This blue glitter unicorn was in a bin headed to the clearance room of the Goodwill Supercenter down south OBT location where it would have undoubtedly been thrown into a container and broken. $4.99. Pretty cool.

In January last month Kristin and I visited her mother down in South Florida. We always go thrifting because it's a goldmine down there. We always spend too much money and the van is filled with stuff. There are so many thrift stores we can't help ourselves! At one of the Goodwills we all of the following for $4 each.

I fell over when I saw the next three. How cutecool are these? BL made these furry animal creations but I may never find out more about them.

I'm not into collecting clown stuff. The only "clown" thing I even own is another needlepoint (or is it called crosshatch?) that my grandmom made for me. This piece with the rainbows and clouds was pretty amazing.

Wednesday February 11, 2009.

I finally found a video from that infamous Nobunny show. It's totally noisy, messy and extremely blurry. This was the last song we played, "Chuck Berry Holiday".

Tuesday February 10, 2009.

The Future on Films in Space rock out Wills Pub.
The Future on Films in Space are one of the areas best bands in my opinion. The new *improved* lineup is Freddy Mullins on lead guitar and vocals, Johnny Wells on bass, Aaron (For Ex-Lovers Only) on Elka Panther organ and light controlled sound effects, Curtis Brown (Summerbirds in the Cellar) on drums and Whit Evans on Fender Rhodes and synthesizer. The short, the music plays off catchy riffs and experimental psychedelic twists. Not to be missed. I hope they will have some kind of record out. [pictures]

Stabbing at Back Booth??????
I saw on WFTV that there was a stabbing last night at Back Booth at their indie/electro dance night Crush. Falero is charged with attempted second-degree murder, three counts of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and battery. He also had a gun. Read the article and follow along with the 100+ comments over at The Orlando Sentinel or see the video from WKMG. No reports on who was stabbed but I hope they are doing okay.

UPDATE.

This reminds me the Jail Newspaper is back around town.

More vinyl news.
I was reading an article on LA Weekly about the Nielsen Soundscan reports on vinyl sales for 2008. They list the top 10 sellers for the year. The top record was Radiohead 'In Rainbows' at a total of 25,800 copies sold. They make sure to point out the band sells more tickets in the span of two shows. The rest of the list is interesting- if not for the fact there is only one Beatles record still in print. Out of the list I did buy 'Funplex' by the B-52's.

Friday January 30, 2009.

Viva la vinyl.
East Bay Express have an article about records with interviews from Slumberland Records, Golden Robot Records and Pirates' Press.

Pop Mayhem! returns to Gainesville.
The organizers of last years Pop Mayhem Festival are at it again this year. Reserve the weekend of May 15-17 (DATES CHANGED TO AUGUST) for some International Pop Underground inspired music. Last year they brought Boyracer out of retirement, reunited Brittle Stars and flew The Cannanes over from Australia among other highlights. No bands have been announced as playing, although poking around the internet I learned Averkiou and Hot Hands are returning. It's sure to be a diverse lineup focused on DIY allegiance and pop music. Keep and eye out on their webpage: www.popmayhem.com or Myspace for announcements.

Video from last years Pop Mayhem:

How many times can the same show be shut down?
This is the story of the show that wasn't meant to be.

Originally, there was to be a birthday show for Preston, singer and guitarist from band North Korea, at a house on Marks Street. I had booked two bands Saucy Yoda and Mythological Horses (both from Oregon) to play. I wanted to see both bands so I was doing some extra promotions. Things first started going wrong when the day before the show the show was canceled. Evidently there was some drama....... I wanted to move the show but I had no time whatsoever to take such an undertaking. I wanted to hop onto a show already booked at Uncle Lou's but things were so up in the air I had to tell the Oregon bands not to come to Orlando. No bueno.

I love TV.
After waiting forever, more like 8 months, my favorite teevee shows are back on and BLOWING MY MIND. Lost is making my head spin. It's seriously becoming one of the best shows ever. Those writers have such an intricate story to keep track of. The only annoying thing is there is probably so many clues I am missing. I always read Brian Quain's Lost blog. It's a MUST READ for Lost watchers. I used to listen to the Jay and Jack podcast but in comparison those guys are dummies. Also Battlestar Galactica is going strong. Frak Earth, man! It's the final few episodes of the series and the drama continues. I still watch 24 but honestly my interest is really low.

I actually started reading some music blogs. What a waste of time! I really think blogs are lame. Some 'well-written' ones blew my mind how off their thought processes are. The ones I read all had the same content. It's like they all read each others posts and repost the same thing. If anyone has suggestions for me email me. Rather if you know of any 'under the radar' online zines that would be even better.

Monday January 26, 2009.

Things change fast.
Today on the way to pick up Kristin this afternoon I passed three front yard inflatable pool parties. It's 80 degrees outside. This is more like it.

Battlestar Galactica is on. Lost is on. 24 is on. Yes, this is more like it.

Thursday January 22, 2009.

30 Degrees Everywhere.
My thermometer reads 30 degrees. This is supposed to be Florida. There's frost on the van windshield when I drove Kristin to work about 5:50am. The hot tub next door has been running since last night.

The show last night got shut down. I'm really getting tired of this kind of thing. More to follow.

Wednesday January 21, 2009.

Where have we been?
Five months is a really long time to be without a computer. If you remember (if you checked KB even once in the past year) at the end of August some scumbag broke into Kristin and I's home and stole my Macbook. We lost two years worth of files, photos and work.

Good news today is we're up and running and we can now start the 2009 Edition of Kick Bright. Kristin and I have been super busy. We've been playing shows with our bands, about to do some recording and you know, getting married and all that. Now we can add writing and computering to that long list. Expect lots of updates and articles from now on.

Wiggly World opens record store.
There's a lot of cool things going on in Orlando right now. The biggest one my music-loving-butt is all over is the opening of a new record store in the "Milk District" on Robinson Street by TG Lee. It's run by Rich and Jeanie, known for running their record labels (Florida's Dying and Lipstick Pickup respectively). It's long name is Vinyl Richie's Wiggly World of Records but you can just call it Wiggly World. Their mailorder business has been doing quite well over the internet so much so they have expanded to having an actual shop. This should be good news for those in the area that are into new releases by underground and small labels and artists that the other "indie" record stores in town probably have no clue about (Nobunny, Cause Co-Motion, Jacuzzi Boys, Waaves, Cheap Time). They also carry "the standards" as well AND without the high prices involved at other stores. Did I mention they pretty much carry only vinyl. You won't find a CD bin, maybe a small stack by the register. Also there's plans for shows in the parking lot. There's going to be a big grand opening party soon. Keep up to date from their Myspace page.

Los Campesinos! come to America.
When I read Los Campesinos were coming to the United States AND coming to Florida I fell off the couch. First, Hotpants Romance comes here last year and now Los Campesinos this year? Pretty cool. Ever since I hear their first EP at WPRK a year and a half ago I thought they were a pretty fun band. That "We Throw Parties You Throw Knives" song was an instant favorite. Since then they evidently got on a hype machine which was a little strange to me that a more "indiepopish" band would get picked up. I know a lot of purists are critical of them (well, more critical of overhype) because they hit all the hot topics and flavor of the month imagery..... robots, skeletons, pirates, cherry-aid, bookshop workers, etc. They cover it and more. And most importantly make a fun record. And to see them live would most likely be over the top goodness.
