New issue is at the printers! This calls for a celebratory beer and record. I couldn’t think of two finer offerings at either.
Firestone Walker‘s DBA & Guided by Voices‘ Alien Lanes.
Last baseball game of the season I’ll get to see, so figure I better celebrate with some Dayton rawk and a Californian beer so kindly gifted to me by the web ed.
Time for another Stomping Grounds, folks! This time we’re exploring the home of Prisoners, garage rock heroes from Cleveland, Ohio.
True to Cleveland’s blue-collar roots, Prisoners rock out with all the garage energy of teenage glory: noises crashing and colliding in mid-air in that chaotic, don’t-give-a-fuck kind of way that always sounds so good. We got a chance to ask Jason Look, guitarist and vocalist, a bit about what it’s like to live in the rock ‘n’ roll capital of the world. Read on to find out where to get the best burrito, and why Jason has a shirt that used to belong to Will Rigby.
If you’ve cracked open a single issue of Ghettoblaster, you are well aware of our continual fascination with all things Robert Pollard. So you can bet your face that we were excited when a Guided By Voices announced a reunion for a one-off show in Las Vegas for Matador’s 25th anniversary.
But now the news has reached us that our Ohio heroes will be touring as well. Hear that faint squealing noise? That’s the sound of our collective electric joy rising up over the heat of summer.
From ActiveDayton.com:
Although no dates are confirmed, GBV will follow that reunion show with some United States dates. This will be Pollard’s first tour since the Boston Spaceships outing in 2008 and the first GBV shows since disbanding in 2004.
“I’m not sure this will end after this particular tour,” [Pollard] said. “But after this has run its course, that’s the end for Guided by Voices. My justification for even doing it was, we’re old, but we’re not completely feeble yet. We can still do it a little bit, so we better do this before that happens.”
