Read our interview with Mikal Cronin, who’s playing the concluding show of Total Trash Fest 3 (with Moonhearts during the day and then with his touring band at night, formed by members of Pangea).
Wax Idols and Terry Malts have set up a Kickstarter to help fund a 20+ stop October/November US tour. The first 10 to pledge more than $50 receive a Wax Idols LP and some button swag designed by both bands. You can donate here. Read our interview with Wax Idols frontwoman Hether Fortune here.
Awesome news if you’re going to see locals Kelley Stoltz or Carletta Sue Kay perform with R. Stevie Moore at the end of the month (as you should): the “secret guest” listed on the Make Out Room calendar initialed as “A.P.’s H. G.” is none other than Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti, confirmed yesterday via “man about town” SFitall:
Tickets will sell out pretty quickly I’d imagine. You can buy advance tickets for $15 for Sunday 9/28 (w/ Carletta Sue Kay and DJ Tropical Ooze) here and Monday 9/29 (w/ Kelley “Voltz”) over here. More shows this week, including 3 Ty Segall shows.
