Sunday August 12
Exploding Flowers will be playing Part Time Punks with Wymond Miles (Fresh
& Onlys) and Young Prisms.
Here's what the PTP website has to say:
WYMOND MILES, best known as the guitarist for The Fresh & Onlys, has just
released a superb 12" on Sacred Bones, "Under The Pale Moon," which has earned
universal raves from the likes of Pitchfork, & Gorilla Vs. Bear. The record
fuses dreamy Krautrock-esque soundscapes like something straight off the Brain
label in Germany in the 1970s with remarkable songs ala' "Porcupine" era Echo
& The Bunnymen, Nick Drake and 70s-era Beach Boys like "Surf's Up" and
"Sunflower". Or, as Miles puts it: "Sonically the mood had to reflect the
somberness of moving between the existential chaos of my 20s into this new
perspective of living... The mysterious hues of the soundscape reflect a sense
of curiosity and possibility in the canyons of sound."
Listen to WYMOND MILES.
YOUNG PRISMS made their LA debut at PTP back three years ago at the first MBV
Nite (the same nite Weekend made their debut). Since then the band has released
a handful of remarkable newgaze records on Mexican Summer, Big Love and Kanine
and have toured with the likes of Weekend, Dum Dum Girls, Tamaryn, No Joy and
Kurt Vile. Heads up, fans of MBV, Mazzy Star & Slowdive!
EXPLODING FLOWERS fuse layers of the Paisley Underground's rural psychedelia
with Flying Nun fuzz and the psychedelicate song structures of Alex Chilton/Big
Star. September gurls (and boys) should pack their knapsacks and head down early
to hum along.
