8-26-12 PART TIME PUNKS - WHIRR+ PERMANANT COLLECTION + TENNIS SYSTEM

PART TIME PUNKS presents a nite devoted to some of the best (and noisiest) up-and-coming shoegaze bands in the country!

Northern California's WHIRR (formerly Whirl) make an effects-laden noise that is as blatantly loud and heavy as it is beautiful, giving the sounds of 90's shoegaze a widescreen update for the post-millennial era. The young sextet's wall of lush guitars, breathy vocals, dreamy synth and thunderous drumming propel listeners into a near-cinematic realm where instantly catchy melodies and emotional, enveloping atmospheres hang in perfect balance. The group's debut album, Pipe Dreams, was released by Tee Pee Records this past March.

PERMANENT COLLECTION swathes fuzzed out pop structures in layers of guitars, equally hazy and Mascis-esque. For the forthcoming LP, "Newly Wed Nearly Dead," the band turned to cult music icons Monte Vallier (of Swell/Half-Church and owner of Ruminator Audio, as well as producer of the WEEKEND records on SLR) and Kramer (producer of groups such as Galaxie 500 and Low) for recording and mastering. Carving out new territory for the band, this album will have your brain crooning and undoubtedly fall into your subconscious.

Sharing their namesake with a song by predecessor noise pop group The Lilys, TENNIS SYSTEM are keeping the legacies of Sonic Youth, My Bloody Valentine, and the Jesus and Mary Chain alive with their expansive, catchy-as-hell pop songs. Matty Taylor and Misha Bullock are masters of loud and dirty anthems, but rising above the noise that blankets them are Taylor's beautifully sung, dreamy lyrics inspired by both love and art, from the drawings of Egon Schiele to the writing of Aldous Huxley.Teenagers, the group's second LP, was released by Kill/Hurt in December of 2011.
