Asleep

Status Update

I’ve heard stories about a crew of guys who play cool music and have tons of fun and hang out with a giant robot out near Cleveland. I decided to find out a bit more about this crew. They are named Asleep and they are the subjects of this week’s Status Update:
 
We are Asleep and we are from: Yompton, a town Satan personally farted on.
 
In 7 words or less I would say our band is: More fun than a barrel of titties.
 
When you come to our concert you will have the best time if you: Leave your pants and bring your LSD.
 
We recorded our most recent album Unpleasant Companion in four days. If I wasn’t recording the album those days, these are the four things I would’ve liked to do instead:
 
1.) Eaten a panda bear hot dog from Hot Doug’s
2.) Played poker with Wilco.
3.) Smoked a blunt with Ye (Kanye West)
4.) Played dice on the southside
 
We have a friend named Punchy The Robot. He is the coolest friend because: He incites dance parties on the streets, he parties and punches himself way harder than Andrew WK, and he has a spaceship. A spaceship full of marijuana.
 
In summary Asleep is a band that rocks out with their earplugs out.
 
 
Asleep’s latest album is called Unpleasent Companion.

Debut Album From The Bleeding Knees Club Coming Next Month Aussies Bringing Teenage Girls and Bad Guys

The Bleeding Knees Club has announced they will be releasing their debut album ‘Nothing To Do’ on Feb. 27th, 2012.

 

These Aussie garage rockers blew some minds after pumping out three of our favorite songs in recent memory – Teenage GirlsBad Guys, and Have Fun – all on one 4-song EP. Watch the video for Teenage Girls here. The video that singer Alex Wall said  “…we really wanted it to be filmed in the U.S.A. because we felt the U.S. has that kind of attitude we wanted the clip to have. When I got the first cut back a few weeks later and the opening scene was a bird smoking an apple bong, I knew he nailed it.”

Coachella 2012 Line-Up Is Here Sunday Looks Like A Banger

The month of April is going to be the most unproductive month for California kids in the history of the world. Two 3-day weekends + pre-parties for the Coachella festival. As always the headliners are boring and predictable: The Black Keys, Radiohead, Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg. The entire rest of the festival looks like a blast: M83, Girls, At The Drive-In, The Weeknd, Avicii, La Roux, Noel Gallagher, on and on and on. Full line-up here.
 
So what weekend is going to be better? Are the first weekend people going to be over it by the time the second people get to go? Fuck you first weekend people.
