A Super Rad Super Kickstarter for The Aquabats Super Show at El Rey

Saving the world is often a thankless job but for over twenty years this has not been the case for The Aquabats. This is a band of superheroes/musicians with a fan base so die hard they not only have their own uniform and vernacular but they pass down their love and admiration for the band to their children. For many kids, those who attend the shows with their parents and those that watch The Aquabats Super Show on television, this band is their introduction not only to punk rock, but to music in general. So how does this fan base show their appreciation to the band? The attendance numbers and longevity speak for themselves but if that’s not enough, the Super Kickstarter seems to be a good metric. Trying to crowd fund new episodes of the Super Show, The Aquabats threw a three hour party at El Rey Theatre that included a slew of amazing guests and bands. Before they even played, The Aquabats announced they had raised enough money to record a new album, so I set my hopes high for new episodes of the Super Show to be on their way. related content: The De-Evolution of Burger Boogaloo

Eagles of Death Metal Release New Music For the First Time in 7 Years

Queens of the Stone Ager and one half of Eagles of Death Metal, Josh Homme, had the other half of Eagles of Death Metal, Jesse Hughes, on his Beats 1 radio show, “The Alligator Hour”. They riffed music and moustaches and dropped the single “Got A Woman” along with the video to “Complexity”, both due out on their new album Zipper Down in October on T-Boy Records. The arty and tongue-in-cheeky “Complexity” video is as playful as its track; a riff-heavy, desert rock dance number. The video has people screaming everything from ‘Mike Meyers’ ‘Sprocket’ to ‘Hamlet, why the big glasses?’ All through the lens of a drab new wave video that eventually turns into an iTunes visualizer. Enjoy the eargasm below. Check out the Eagles of Death Metal new track, Complexity Listen to the Beats 1 episode to hear “Got A Woman” (46:30 mark).
