Simultaneous Hear/See Stimuli

Abe Vigoda is a dead guy, and a band. This is what their label has to say about them:

If you want to know how kids can get so fucked in the head growing up in southern california, you gotta know about Abe Vigoda. Chino is the home of this sort of No Wavey sort of Pop oriented sort of twisted punked 4 piece. You can see it in the way they pound the living shit out of the instruments they play, and you can see it in the way they talk about things they are interested in, these kids are fucked, but in a good way. Fucked in the way that they can make a good record and play really good shows above all odds, like having terminal cancer and mental illness. Juan will kiss you if you ask and they are HUGE in England.

their new album skeleton is really really good. reverb punk pop tropics on edge or something. out on post present medium (dean spunt from no age's label). sounds excellent on vinyl.

here they are playing on a rooftop via pitchfork.tv








also, YACHT signed to DFA!
DFA has hookups in the NorthWest now.
