From what I'm gathering, "Cojonudo" translates to "ballsy", which I think explains the near-nude cover of this record. I say near-nude not because of the guitar, but because I think I spy the strap of his tighty-whities at his hip. Then I realized I was looking at this way too hard.

I was a big fan of Die Krabben's Welcome to Surf Trash Island released last year, even giving it a Gremmy honorable mention. Mining the Gyre has the same weirdo creepy surf-meets-Beefheart thing going on, with a few good instrumentals, a few essentially surf songs with a deep trollish voice grumbling out lyrics. It's kinda like if Reverend Beat-man had more of a surf angle.
On my radio show on Monday I got to spend a few minutes on the phone with Davie Allan of Davie Allan and the Arrows in advance of his first show ever in New Orleans this Sunday at Siberia.
We talked motorcycles or lack thereof, Mickey Mouse, and of course FUZZ GUITAR.
I've cut the interview out of the show so you can listen to it here
Make sure to tune in TODAY to hear an interview with Davie Allan!
messer chups - war party (the incredible croco-tiger)

After 8 years as a band without so much of an EP to their name, Luau or Die went ahead and made TWO EPs in 2015, almost entirely originals. It's fun, adventurous, and has a good helping of swagger to it. Give it a list, and while you're at it you can check out Vol. 1
