Earthlings? are back ...



New earthlings? 4 song ep, Disposable Brain, finally available from Treasure Craft Records!!!

"Pete Stahl, David Catching, Adam Maples are back!!! Joined by new earthling?/producer/engineer, Edmund Monsef (U.N.K.L.E., The Duke Spirit, Masters of Reality, Goon Moon). Also joining in on this super sonic substance: player/producer/earthling?: Mathias Scneeberger, Eagles of Death Metal bassist: Brian "Bighands" O'Conner, Gnarls Barkley guitarist: Clint Walsh, and Molly Maguire. You'll thrill to the horror of "666er", taste the triumph with "T.Glitter", ride the universal spacescape on "Unicorn"' and trade in that old tired cerebrum for "Disposable Brain".

It was well worth the wait for these tidbits that preclude the new earthlings? album, available early 2009 on Treasure Craft Records!!! Don't hesitate!!! Pre-order now, this limited edition vinyl ep and receive free digital downloads immediately.

with love...
earthlings? and Treasure Craft Records"

"That is power. EODM have a new album coming out October 28 through Downtown Music called Heart On and we have an exclusive visual look into the making of the record, a series of four in-the-studio clips that have a lot of new song snippets and pontification on the debauchery of Los Angeles from main man Jesse Hughes."

Do you miss John Garcia?

Well, if so you can listen to Waxy out of the very, very true desert. They have Garcia, Mundell and Gary Arce joining them on the track "White Walls". Interesting new name on the evergrowing scene of desert rock.

You should also give Gary Arce's new project Dark Tooth Encounter a listen. Very experimental and freeky. Ohh yeah, the desert, the desert ...

Goon Moon



I'm in love with Goon Moon. It took me way too long time to get hold on their records. Most creative bands I've heard in years. The desert sure is the best place for broadening your mind.

Such Hawks, Such Hounds ... what is heavy?

Trailer for the up coming movie Such Hawks, Such Hounds featuring: Acid King, Bardo Pond, Comets On Fire, Dead Meadow, Fatso Jetson, The Hidden Hand, High On Fire, Mammatus, Nebula, Om, Pearls And Brass, Sunn O)))

"Such Hawks, Such Hounds explores the music and musicians of the American hard rock underground circa 1970-2007. Focus will be on the psychedelic and/or ’70s proto-metal-derived styles that have in recent years formed a rich tapestry of unclassifiable sounds. The film will chart the evolution of these styles and their creative components, while primarily serving as a character study of the musicians themselves—artists seemingly on the fringes of both straight society and hip indie circles. The filmmakers will show how these musicians work and live, and how they sustain careers outside the corporate rock mainstream. A picture will emerge of a vital art form built on accomplished musicianship and creative ambition—and a story that will appeal to viewers who like the music, and also those who don’t."

A Desert Moment ...

While I was listening to Unida's unreleased album "The Great Divide", the mailman knocked on the door. He came with a packet of records I had ordered. Great stuff like: Middian and Wooden Shjips. But what was funny, is, that while listening to this great unreleased desert stuff and opening the packet, I realised I had ordered Sabbia, the art-videoproject by Kate McCabe with music by Brant Bjork. And more to this there was the "Disco Marching Kraft EP" by Earthlings? and "Songs from the Ancient Age" by Spindrift. Wow, I look so much forward to all this stuff while I paint a room in my apartment. The video have to wait for later ...

Spindrift is a brand new relationship to me. Stumpled over them by accident - but what a nice one. Although not a desert rock band in the traditional way, they also worship the desert. Spindrift is the brainchild of Kirpatrick Thomas. First album is "Songs from the Ancient Age" and the second is called "The Legend of God's Gun" and features current and former members of Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Warlocks, and other Los Angeles psychedelic veterans. "The Legend of God's Gun" is also a rock-n-roll-spaghetti-style-western/ glorified music video feature film made by Mike Bruce. This is still unreleased, but you can watch the trailer.



About Sabbia, LA Film Forum wrote: "Sabbia is a desert trip inspired by the music of Brant Bjork and visualized by Kate McCabe. Evoking the immeasurable desert landscape and old ghosts of a dusty past, the film beautifully weaves together a tapestry of perfect moments and a raw rock-n-roll way of life. As a form of psychedelic documentary, the film explores the musical wilderness of a weird and sexy Southern California wasteland. Sabbia presents the landscape’s vast sense of space and time and like a mirage, reveals the magic of desert music, art, and soul."
