The Aquarian Weekly previews Thee Swank Bastards’ New Jersey tour dates and recommends “Getaway Car”:
When listening to the track “Getaway Car” off of the album Get Intimate, I immediately thought of 1960s California surf-inspired music that girls on the beach would hula hoop to. Now that the summer is here, their shows will certainly put you in a beach and sun-kissed state of mind.

Popa’s Tunes featured The Peculiar Pretzelmen:
If Mark Twain and Edgar Allen Poe had collaborated on a story about traveling American musicians, they couldn’t have imagined ‘The Peculiar Pretzelmen.’ Deeper. Darker, Weirder is their mantra as they travel horse and cart across the country, bringing their blend of Jazz, Cemetery Blues and Avantmercanna Folk to the masses. They did three sessions for Couch by Couchwest this year from Stranger Factory in Albuquerque, NM. Check out their discography on bandcamp, wicked good.

The Van Allen Belt video “Out To Lunch” is video of the day on This Week In New York!
“The Van Allen Belt has created engaging psychedelic pop rooted in 1960s melodies and harmonies, albeit with an edge reminiscent of the Fiery Furnaces. Led by singer Tamar Kamin’s dreamy vocals and multi-instrumentalist B. K. Ferris, the band continually offers up surprising diversions, throwing in a touch of Las Vegas lounge here, some progressive rock there, with even a little military march for good measure.”
