Creative Loafing previews Daymoths show in Tampa

“St. Paul, Minn. indie pop rock two-piece Daymoths produces airy, up-tempo songs imbued with haunting sweetness via the piano and organ melodies and high piping vocals of Emily Dantuma, all carried on the sturdy rhythms of drummer/husband Ollie Dodge. Last year saw the release of their first full-length, Back In Time, and they hit town on the latest round of tour dates in support.”

Cleveland Rock and Roll reviews Thee Swank Bastards show:

“What I wasn’t expecting was just how much fun these guys are to listen to and to spend time around. They are spectacular at including the audience in their shtick which includes a heavy dose of somewhat vulgar yet totally hilarious jokes that get passed between Jesse and Shaun between songs. It’s obvious that these guys have been steeped in the Las Vegas culture over the last decade or so that they’ve been performing. The songs that Thee Swank Bastards perform have the wonderful immediacy of surf music with its screeching guitar riffs and pulsating bass and with a playfulness that is frankly lacking in so much of today’s music.”

Press: Daikaiju in Connect Savannah

Savannah’s alt weekly Connect Savannah features Daikaiju’s upcoming show:

Imagine Dick Dale, rather that Ace Frehley, playing lead guitar in Kiss (well, behind a black-and-white Kabuki mask, I suppose it could be anyone). There’s your start-off point for Alabama’s Daikaiju, a sort of surf-punk/metal amalgam of “Hawaii Five-O” and “Rock and Roll All Night.” Yes, everything’s played really fast, and served up with a healthy dose of outrageous theatricality. It’s all instrumental music, dense, reverb-heavy, good ‘n’ spooky.
