Kan Kan!
As before, I also want to bring to peoples' attention an old post that may have been forgotten, neglected, or simply not discovered yet by the legions of newcomers to the music blog world. This week, I suggest going to the wonderful Phoenix Hairpins blog (which, in along with the Mutant Sounds blog, was my inspiration to begin ripping and posting my own records) and download everything that Curious Guy has posted in the past three-and-a-half years... starting with the complete discography of Kan Kan, the brainchild of one Patrick Dineen. From the humble minimalist post punk beginnings of his self-released debut 7" to the two later 12"s, his three records are pure darkwave perfection, full of synths and pianos and somber vocals.

Shave is a band of like minded musicians from Long Beach, Ca. who believe in making guitar driven, lyrically entertaining, high energy rock. Drawing on influences as diverse as The Ramones and Jimi Hendrix, lyrically ambitious as Frank Zappa or Ween. Compositionally they can be as challenging as Brahms and Led Zeppelin, or as simple as Motley Crue or Beck. Shave acheives a blend of music that is at once familiar yet uniquely their own. Never derivative of popular music or the "genre of the month", Shave consistently makes music that sounds only like Shave.

Go to the Shave Forum Shave's Dave Shea and Dave Cornblum rock the Queen's Wharf Restaurant last Saturday to see the Shave, Pat Gallagher, and Chris Mulkey Show! It was a great vibe there and everyone had such a good time that we're going to set it up to do it all over again sometime soon! Guest Reviews: A night on the Harbor with Shave's acoustic set ended up being a great time. Queen's Wharf looks like a throwback to another time. Overlooking the deep-end of Long Beach Harbor, you could picture it full of long-shoremen and shipbuilders back in the day. On this night, it was quiet, except for the bar. Actor/Singer Chris Mulkey opened the show...(we arrived late), followed by Pat Gallagher, who played a nicely crafted set. Shave's version of an acoustic show included drums and electric guitar on this night, and they rocked. The small intimate crowd was about half locals, and a colorful bunch they were....they really seemed to enjoy it, as did the die-hard Shave regulars that came down. Good times for all. by Biker Man "Probably one of the best Shave sets I've seen. My favorite hair removal part was watching Chris Mulkey sing along to Barely Legal." by Vanessa Last Shave show's highlights! Shave - Rival Bowler Video! Shave - Crack Me Open Video!

Pro drummer Scott "Heavy Doodie" Devours from Ima Robot joined up to record and play live.
His heavy drumming - along with the switch of Elder D to guitar and Fever to bass - makes this CD rock harder than anything $have has ever released. Songs like and "Icky Soda" (with awesome background vocals by Long Beach Super Artist and Rebecca Lynn), and "Rival Bowler", and "8 Ladies Early 90's" hit the top ten on college radio stations accross the country.
