One Way System Returns To Western U.S. in April 2009
February 18, 2009
North West England's premier Punk outfit One Way System are planning a three week trek through seven states beginning April 1st, 2009. This is the first time the band has been in the U.S. since playing CBGB's in 1997 and will be their first trip out west since 1984's appearance at the Olympic Auditorium. One Way System continue to be one of the most easily recognizable of the early '80s Punk bands achieving cover star status. Their Independent Chart hits "Stab The Judge" and "Cum On Feel The Noize" establishing them as among the most successful as well.
The tour being called as the 'If Punk is Dead - What the Hell is This...' has two more bands in it's lineup: Billyclub, featuring Karl 'Egghead' Morris, legendary guitarist who has played with Exploited, UK Subs, Broken Bones and recently GBH comes from England's North West as well. The opening slot hails from Orange County California - PooP, featuring Rikk Agnew formerly with the Adolescents, D.I., Christian Death and Social Distortion.
Dates are being booked for California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, and Arizona.

Don't screw up and be out of town or otherwise miss any of the shows when they play in your area.
Deerhoof – Live Sessions EP
February 18, 2009
The start of 2009 signaled the coming of 3 inevitabilities: we would have a new president, and Deerhoof would release a new EP and full length. So far 2 of those things have come to light. The always prolific Deerhoof are back with the iTunes only, aptly named, Live Sessions EP. As you may have guessed this EP is compromised from mostly previously released songs recorded live in a studio. Except for “Milk Man” and “Blue Cash”, the rest of the songs come from their last two LP’s, Friend Opportunity and Offend Maggie.
I love Deerhoof. They are easily one of my favorite live bands of recent memory. As demonstrated here, they are incredibly tight, energetic and exciting, so much so that the songs on this EP pretty much exactly sound like the recorded versions on their respective LPs. While listening to it I kept thinking "what's the point?"
Not to go off on a tangent here, but my problem with bands that release album after album is that after a certain point they all blend together. The Runner's four? It was a good album but then Friend Opportunity came out and I stopped listening to it. This is what I call "The Bonnie 'Prince' Billy Syndrome". They aren't bad albums- they just get eclipsed by the rest of their output a few months later.
Haven't bought any of the last 3 Deerhoof albums and want a sampling of their recent output? Fine. Otherwise you may as well save 4 bucks and listen to your old records while you wait for their next.
