The Maxines performing “Drugstore” at the release show they played at the Midnight Sun here in Olympia for their new “Drugstore” single. This is a great example of the Maxines’ unique brand blown-out buzzy garage pop, with both Matt and Kelly screaming over the messy cacophony of their instruments.
The Maxines playing live at the Timberland Library here in Olympia (our library is the coolest, in case you couldn’t already tell). Playing the drum set along side Kelly is Matt’s six-year-old nephew, Charlie, who, I’ve gotta say, is pretty awesome. Check it out!
And don’t forget to clap!
The Maxines—-totally Amazing! This super-secret squirrel track “Honestly” is maybe my favorite of the year so far. We’re releasing their first K 7”, Drugstore, to the public at the end of the month, but you, special loved person that you are, can get it from our S H O P on Thursday.
There’s only a limited batch of pressings, so don’t miss out!
Here’s the last Song of the Day for 2011… The Maxines rip yr face off with a cover of the Big Bopper’s “You Made a Monkey Out of Me”. This song was recorded during the same Dub Narcotic Studio session as three of the four songs on the upcoming Drugstore EP (IPU140), which will be released on January 24, 2012. If you wanna hear more, check out “Drugstore”, Brenda Lee cover “Sweet Nothings”, Planned Parenthood benefit track “Honestly”, and blistering instrumental “Our Earth Name”.
Oh, and curious about the original Bopper tune? Catch it here.
If you’re in BC, you’d better take cover ‘cause the Maxines are coming your way!
And Olympia - SATURDAY NIGHT IS THE ROCK / ROLL ZONE. Seriously, Tacoma scorchers Basemint will be melting underwear, Oly rookie stars Meowtain will be a’hissin and a’screechin their alleycat blues, and Matt and Kelly are even gonna bring Seattle Canadian jingle-janglers Monster Trap back to the states! Yow! BYOEarplugs.

A mid-Monday dose of Little Medium Miss Dynamite: The Maxines blow it up with a cover of Brenda Lee’s classic “Sweet Nothin’s.”
Sultry punk rock? Why not, we say - we like it that way.
This song was recorded at Dub Narcotic Studio in Olympia, WA in May 2011. Other songs from this session will be featured on The Maxines’ upcoming Drugstore 7” EP (IPU140) on January 24, 2012. Need more medicine? Get your dose of the title track here. Watch your dosage, this stuff packs a wallop.
Do you like your rock n roll with a French accent? African rhythms? Maybe a bit of autotune, Ennio Morricone, and distorted theremin? And all tied together by the most riveting surf guitar style this side of the Atlantic?
Then get ready to ride a wave into the future, cause here comes Angelo Spencer!
Angelo Spencer et les Hauts Sommets are back with their second K full-length, aptly entitled World Garage (KLP235, thanks to Matt Murillo for the album title), and follow-up to last year’s self-titled LP (KLP216).
Ange is a heavy Kollaborater, playing in Arrington de Dionyso’s Malaikat dan Singa, and with Kendl Winter and Kimya Dawson, as well as in LAKE member Mark Morrison’s Lazer Zeppelin.
