Ohsees (OCS) on Saturday Night!

Hands down the show of the year so far...I've really been looking forward to this one. I saw the Ohsees play last Spring. They feature John Dwyer (Coachwhips, Pink & Brown...) and is more of a raw, stripped form of music, taking a slower pace, with errie lyrics, darker themes and sly melodies.
I'm in love with the Ohsees since that Spring performance when the days were longer, warmer and not so hectic. Is it my nostalgia for Spring, or am I still in awe of this band? I believe it's both, so don't miss it. Supporting acts include are the Ski Instructors (feat. members of the Bananas, Nar, FM Knives, Bright Ideas & more!) and Restaurant, somewhat of a mystery band.

This takes place at Fools Foundation at 10pm on Saturday, February 24th.

Record Reviews #8

Fevers
Get On Again
Plastic Idol

Super catchy, nostalgic power pop infused with amazing hooks, superb songwriting and the fun that the Fevers always deliver. More upbeat A-side with an acoustic number on the flipside, which holds its
own well in this great package. Only 500 pressed in Plastic Idol Fashion, and on pink vinyl no less.

Intelligence
I’m Your Taxi
Holy Cobra Society

The Intelligence superbly deliver with this blown-out chunk of wax released on Madrid, Spain’s Holy Cobra Society. It’s almost as if they plugged their guitars into the wrong amps and turned the knobs so far they broke off; but they always manage to sneak in those wondrous melodies into a mess of noise.
600 copies pressed on that thick, overseas vinyl we love so much. “No Nurses” stands out to me, but you can’t go wrong with any of these tracks, and I’m sure these 600 copies are going to fly. If you aren’t familiar with the Intelligence, (where have you been?) they feature former A-FRAMES drummer Lars, now on guitar and vocals, also a member of a number of other bands including the DIPERS.

The Lamps
Fred Astaire
Solid Sex Lovie Doll

Sounding much like their track from their split 7inch with the RAT TRAPS, the Lamps bring three ultra-blown-out-extremely lo-fi tracks to their newest release. With each new record, this band gets better and better. Recorded in a basement, this is one of the rawest recordings I’ve heard from them and I love it. Crank the volume; your deserving neighbors will hate you. I know mine do!

MegaCools
Weird Dreams are Crazy 7”
Megacool Records

Awesome Sacto-pop featuring new-comers Ryan “F-Sharp” and Christine Shelley-girl-drummer wonder, and Charles Albright who’s had his foot in so many Sacto bands, it’s hard to keep track. More low-key a-side, with a catchy guitar riff, and on the flipside, “You Don’t Send me No Flowers” which will most likely get stuck in your head. REPLACEMENTS and WIPERS influenced. Limited pressing, in cool hand-made sleeve, so act fast!

Tranzmitors
Bigger Houses, Broken Homes 7”
Deranged

The B-side is what really does it for me on this 7inch. As soon as you set that needle down, “Glamour Girls” jumps out like a classic, catchy Buzzcocks/Undertones tune. It’s the kind of infectious pop song you should be vaccinated against before you go out and buy every record of theirs. Great stuff featuring the immediately recognizable vocals from Jeffie of the NEWTOWN ANIMALS. This band is cranking out singles faster than I can keep up with, and also have a full length in the works!

Updates!

I'm taking a hit today with a dreaded, non-paid sick day. I've been meaning to post some updates, so let's take a bunch out and just post 'em now.

Out of Order Stickers!!
Kind of silly, but super exciting none-the-less since I've never made stickers before for Out of Order.

If you would like a couple stickers, send a SASE to:

Out of Order Records
c/o Stickers!
P.O. Box 72775
Davis, CA 95617

Or, just order anything from the mailorder, or label and you'll get one for free!!!
I'll also be making sticker/button sets coming soon!

Live in the Warzone
My weekly radio show lives on, on KDVS 90.3 fm. Check out the direct link here.
You can view past playlists, and other information here.
Tomorrow, my radio show will not broadcast due to a sports pre-emption. Fear not, I'll be back the following week with more great records to spin.

Out of Order Zine #4
The zine is still in production, and I'm shooting for it's completion later this month. It promises to be my best yet, with a range of awesome interviews and articles, including pieces with TYVEK, NIGHT WOUNDS, PRIVATE DICKS, ERNIE QUINTERO, NATE BEDORTHA and more! Tons of record reviews as always and other fun goodies.

KDVS Spring Record Swap
Mark your calendars! May 20th, 2007 is the date for the Spring Record Swap. Dealers, contact us now for a table or two, and hungry record geeks, get ready! Check out the flyer in PDF format here!

Web Stuff
I also have current hopes of doing a website re-format, and also creating a whole store page with easy-to-use pay pal buttons for those who love pay pal. Look for that soon...

Thanks for following along in the Out of Order world!

Take care,
