FLOWERS OF EVIL

Ruth White

"She became a synth/synthesized music pioneer who composed avant garde electronic music combined with song and poetry in the late 1960s and the 1970s. Her electronic works were performed on a Moog synthesizer. In the 1970s she founded The Electronic Music Association along with Paul Beaver."



Some recitation of Baudelaire's poetry accompanied by her Moog..haaaaaunting!
Flowers Of Evil-1969

Virgin Blood

Posted a couple of our songs over on SoundCloud. We have been reworking a lot of our music so I am really excited to play next week.

WAD/VDAY

So, I have been trying to make podcasts every week. But, this time of year is just kind of weird for me. I didn't want to ramble on and on about nothing. Instead, I just made a Valentine's mix! Also, I have the mix I made last year. Double the fun! Enjoy.

Song of the Day!

I have this song from Peaking Lights new album, 936, on repeat. Maybe it is the gloomy weather? It just fits perfectly.



Peaking Lights/Key Sparrow

Late Night Videos

Alice Bags KILLS it. Probably my favorite Dangerhouse band. But, it definitely depends on what mood I am in. The Dils! The Weirdos! X! So many amazing bands to choose from. I will always have a soft spot for L.A. punk.


The first time I heard her voice I was going on a camping trip, as a kid, with my mom and sister. She sounded so tough. I remember singing Fujiyama Mama in the shower for months. Hey Wanda, thanks for helping me realize how badass I could be!


Nancy, please teach me how to shred.



I could watch this video on repeat. Mona is so intense and her facial expressions are perfect. I wish I could have seen them play because every live video I come across is amazing. Side Note: I wish a warehouse space like that existed!
