HDD Radio #4: Art Crawl

This episode is a weird one.  We headed down to the St. Paul Spring Art Crawl and rounded up a handful of artists to sit down and chat about their respective crafts.  Well, at least that was the idea.  Instead what happened is; we all drank a bunch of ‘90s nostalgia beers like Killian’s Red and Rolling Rock and the conversation turned to questionable dating advice, classic rock, and briefly, RuPaul.  We were only able to salvage some of the audio (which is probably for the best) but on the upside, it was a great excuse to play a bunch of arty shit. 

Tracklist:

DJ Dicksuck - Arrrt

Black Face - I Want To Kill You

Condominium - Why Be Something You’re Not?

In 5, 4, 3, 2 (1)...Aaaaaad we're back! Wow, was that ever quick. In this episode we sit down with longtime friend and co-conspirator Jason, on location at his upstart motorcycle shop in downtown Minneapolis called Dirty Biker. We try to be serious for like, a second before things go off script. The script we didn't have, that is. We do our best to make it work for you, but in the end we just end up telling inside jokes and snickering at our ridiculous selves. We also played a bunch of jams, coming from all over the place. Sets include: movie soundtrack rap from the late '80s and early '90s, gunk punk, metal, and some random stuff thrown in.

The Soda Killers #2 nearly finished

We're mid-assembly line on this shit, and as usual, it's going slower than you think it will when you map all this stuff out in your head. I tell you, there is a lot of work that goes into DIY zine-making on nearly every level. When it's done, all you can hope is that it is to your liking...and to those who are generous enough to purchase and/or trade for it. TSK #2 will be finished and available for both, come Wednesday! Holla if you wanna get into it.  Alright, now back to work. Anders, grab me a soda!

Scene Report: Record Store Day Wrapup

Record Store Day has come and gone once again. This afternoon I made my way over to Extreme Noise for the second year in row. Saw great live sets by Daylight Robbers from Chicago and thee best band in the TC right now, Condominium. Also, snagged six slabs of wax of my want list and a couple zines, AND somehow managed to resist the temptation to ingest a double veggie dog...I was close to caving in to the pressure though.  Decided to end on a high note and not go to any other places afterwards...other than to get dollar pastor tacos at La Taquiera Hacienda.  I won't tell you how many I had but let's just say, I spent five bucks.

Loot List: 
Bannilyst-Discografi-LP
Black Humor-Love God, Love One Another-LP
Migraine-Four Humors-7"
Raw Nerve-Midnight-7"
Void-Sessions-LP
V/A-Maximum RockNRoll presents Noise Ordinance-LP
Maximum RockNRoll #348 May-'12-zine
More Noise #8/Torturamierda #6-split zine

The Soda Killer Stomp Baby, Let's Go!

Well this fucker should be wrapped up by the end of the weekend. We would like to thank everyone that put in a pre-order. Anders is especially happy because that saved him a little cash, since he's  the one paying for all the printing photocopying.  If everything goes according plan, they will be in the mail on Monday.  As well, everyone else can snag them then too.  We'll post up all deets, don't you worry.  In the meantime, here is a pinup to put on your bedroom wall or inside your school locker, right between the A$AP Rocky cutouts and Blake Griffin posters...    

One Minute Reviews: The Sensitive Side-Demo

One Minute Reviews

By Nathan G. O'Brien exclusively for HotDogDayz

The Sensitive Side-Demo CD-R (self-released, 2011)

The Sensitive Side play snottified garage punk with a touch of ye olden ‘60s style Brit Invasion tossed in. Imagine The Reatards if they were mentored by Billy Childish and only allowed to listen to new wave records once a month. I’m thinking leather jackets, black hair, and bright colored—probably striped—tee shirts. The keyboards—while ear-piercing and amateurish—remind me a little of the Murder City Devils. With subject matter like friendless lost summers and reading on the toilet, it’s probably safe to assume these guys are teenagers. If not, then their adults capitalizing on the opportunity to act like teenagers that punk rock so graciously affords us. Being that this is a demo, it has an under-produced quality to it, which is actually quite enduring and is complimentary to the overall feel. With repeated plays, this has really grown on me, which is something I didn’t initially expect. I believe these are exactly the same songs on the Moon Kids 7” that came recently out on Vinyl Dog. I imagine rock-n-roll fans would be happy with either. I wouldn’t be surprised to see these guys getting signed to In The Red, Goner, or, like, HoZac or something. Yeah, definitely HoZac.

Record Review: Digital Leather-Modern Problems

Digital Leather-Modern Problems (FDH)
By Nathan G. O'Brien on Scene Point Blank

On one hand, Modern Problems is an oddly appealing record, loosely rooted in ‘80s-esque new wave and goth. Amass with catchy hooks and trappings of what was once long ago referred to as “college rock,” it comfortably holds a place alongside the familiarity of Hughes’ movie soundtracks, Joy Division, and even the lo-fidelity alt-punk of early R.E.M.  Without knowing what the intention behind Modern Problems is, it makes it is difficult to perceive it in an easily understandable way. But then again, that’s precisely the type of thing that makes good art. ...Read entire review after jumping off the bridge.
