Whatever Happened To Chin Up Chin Up?

20/08/17 at 1.50pm   /   by deepster19   /   21 Comments

CUCUA question many indie rock fans have been asking themselves for quite some time is….. whatever happened to the band Chin Up Chin Up?

To be quite honest with you, until last night, it never crossed my mind.  However, from what I can gather, the avant-pop quintet opted out of the indie scene bubble back in 2009 with an announcement on their Myspace page.  Kids, look it up.

They played a final show in their hometown of Chicago without much fanfare. At the final show, the band included some tunes that would later appear on a release by the newly formed band Vacations, a side project by three members of Chin Up Chin Up.  If you’d like to take a listen to ‘I Was Bikini/Ran Affraid’ by Vacations, our friends over at the youtubes have it right here.

During a career that spanned roughly eight years, Chin Up Chin Up released three albums, I’ll assume all of them were met with critical acclaim.  All three albums are available for streaming over there.

Apparently, all of this recent Chin Up Chin Up buzz is associated with the bands inclusion on the recent mixtape Indie 2004.  Once DJ Deep gets around to making a Indie 2006 mixtape, rest assured, more Chin Up tunes will appear.

Chin Up Chin Up was one of those bands from the mid-aughts that had you hooked the first time you heard them.

I miss Chin Up Chin Up.

July’s Indie Release Now Streaming On Spotify

20/08/05 at 10.58am   /   by deepster19   /   54 Comments

cassette2-yellow-2Before the ink from the sharpie had a chance to dry on the recently released Indie 2004, DJ Deep was back at it again.  The mixtape making extraordinaire released his monthly indie selections, albeit five days late.

This month’s tape sees the return of indie buzzbands such as Metz, OMNI, Fear Of Men, The Notwist, and Illuminati Hotties.  There’s heritage representation from Elvis Costello, Throwing Muses, Bob Mould, Hum, and the freaking Go-Go’s.

If you’re the type of individual that enjoys fun facts, there’s acts that appear on both the Indie 2004 and the July 2020 mix including Secret Machines, The Strokes, The Go Team!, Annie, Travis, The Radio Dept, and !!!.

You’ll also find Soccer Mommy covering that fun tune by The Cars.

In case you missed it, a few members of the Northern California post-punk act Ceremony recently formed a new band called SPICE.  Their self-titled debut appeared on July 17 via Dais Records.  I highly recommend checking them out when you have some time.

Before I reveal everyone on the July 2020 mixtape, check it out for yourself on Spoify.

DJ Deep Finally Unveils 2004 Mixtape Masterpiece

20/07/31 at 2.14pm   /   by deepster19   /   36 Comments

Promises Promises …

shake a stickAt last, DJ Deep has made his Indie 2004 Mixtape public!

The masterpiece consists of 336 tunes that take place precisely over 20 hours and 48 minutes, or the equivalent of roughly sixteen compact discs.  One would assume, there’s more vintage indie rock there than you can shake a stick at.  Most of the tunes have aged well, while others, obviously, not so much.

Once the world resumes back to the old normal, this would be a fun tape to enjoy at mass gatherings.  In the meantime, your enjoyment will need to settle for same household gatherings.

The tape includes some of the usual cast of characters such as Bloc Party, Franz, Stills, Strokes, LCD, Razorlight, Death Cab, Muse, and Pinback, as well as many more long lost gems.  You can also find representation from the recently reunited Ambulance LTD, their hugely underrated lone album is oddly titled “LP.”  DJ Deep recently received cooperation from English indie blues-rock pioneers The Zutons, they finally made available their 2004 debut “Who Killed The Zutons,” an album that’s always been nothing to sneeze at.  Also included is KASABIAN, fresh off the hamster cage and pallet fiasco.

At this time, the tape is only available for streaming on the Spotify platform, however, don’t put it past DJ Deep to do something ridiculous in the future like this.

Play it safe, keep your hands clean, cover your face, stay the hell away from other people, and most importantly, listen to indie rock.

DJ Deep Crafting Yearly Indie Rock Compilation

20/07/11 at 3.01pm   /   by deepster19   /   31 Comments

I-podApparently, the shelter in place order has created more time to spend in spaces that have been seriously neglected.

In case you missed it, mixtape extraordinaire DJ Deep is back at it again.  In his latest creation, he bites off way more than he can chew, with a comprehensive reflection of the last 20 years of indie rock, one freaking year at a time.  Each year has been carefully crafted to ensure that no stone is left unturned.

Sure, I’ll bet he missed a tune or two, or you’ll piss and moan over what year a song was released, so be it, gripes are welcome in the comment section.  Ultimately, you get more indie rock than you can shake a stick at.

Recently, without much fanfare, DJ Deep dropped the first three volumes of the collection.  Today, with much fanfare, he presents his latest effort, Indie 2003.  If you haven’t already, you can follow and listen to Indie 2000 here, Indie 2001 over here, and Indie 2002 right here.

What’s more, the Spotifys are always the home of all of DJ Deep’s well-crafted work, including the recently resurrected monthly indie series, which had been on hiatus since late 2018 due to issues down the plant.

In a recent Zoom meeting, DJ Deep stated that Indie 2004 is almost complete and should see a late July 2020 arrival. Stay tuned.

Day Wave – The Casbah – San Diego – Tonight!

17/06/27 at 2.44pm   /   by deepster19   /   6 Comments

Day WaveTo the best of my knowledge, Jackson Philips has yet to produce a bad tune under the moniker Day Wave.  Seriously, everything that’s come out since 2014 has been solid.

The one-man bedroom-beats extraordinaire brings his talents to San Diego this evening, playing a show at The Casbah.

The Oakland, California musician tours with a full band, so I’m curious to hear how those flawless beats translate live.

Mr. Philips released his debut full-length The Days We Had back in May.  The LP was preceded by countless catchy singles over the past few years.

His music is inspired by The Beach Boys and New Order, but I hear hints of The Cure and The Ocean Blue.

Doors are at 8:30, with the show starting at 930.  There’s two openers scheduled tonight, Dear Boy and Blonder.

This post will update with vids and setlist.

cassette2-yellow-2Hope you had a wonderful May.  If you need help reflecting on the past month, take a listen to my monthly indie mixtape over on Spotify.

HAIM fans will be happy to hear the ladies are working on their sophomore album, the mixtape includes the solid first single “Want You Back.”

Enjoy!

Midnight Oil – Wiltern Theater – Los Angeles – Tonight!

17/05/25 at 12.20pm   /   by deepster19   /   28 Comments

Midnight OilAfter a fifteen year break, Midnight Oil is back together!

The legendary Australian rockers, lead by 64 year old frontman Peter Garrett, have embarked upon The Great Circle World Tour.  The tour kicked off in South America last month and is nearing the end of the North American leg tonight at the Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles.

This is no typical reunion tour, you know, the kind where a band plays the same seventeen tunes in order night after night.  The Oils have rehearsed practically their entire catalogue and play a different set (23 tunes) each night.  They’ve already introduced more than seventy different tunes on their tour so far, if you count a few warm up gigs in their home country to start the tour.

Fans can count on a run on the hits at the end of the set, including alternative rock classics “Beds Are Burning,” “The Dead Heart,” “Blue Sky Mine,” “Dreamworld,” and “Forgotten Years.”  Other classic Midnight Oil tunes that show up on the setlist on a consistent basis include “Power and The Passion,” “King Of The Mountain,” “Truganini,” and “When Generals Talk.”

What’s your favorite Midnight Oil tune? Mine’s “Warakurna.”

Doors swing open at 7pm. All Our Exes Live In Texas is scheduled to open.

Can’t wait!

Coachella 2017 Band Of The Day

#1 = Real Estate

17/04/14 at 1.17pm   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

Nothing can be easy, can it?  Seriously, the New Order set on Sunday night begins 20 minutes before the Real Estate set ends.

The first day of the 2017 Weekend 1 Coachella Music Festival has officially started, and my list of must-see bands thankfully comes to an end.

Real Estate bandThe #1 Band on my list is the indie rock band Real Estate.  In honor of Real Estate being at the top, I took the liberty of making one of those fun Spotify Mixtapes, featuring nothing but Real Estate tunes, check it out down below.

The quintet is originally from Ridgewood, New Jersey, but now calls Brooklyn home.  I guess when you become a band on the come, you start calling Brooklyn home.

Since forming in 2009, the band has released four well-received albums.  Their self-titled debut arrived in 2009, followed by Days in 2011, and Atlas in 2014.  A few weeks ago they presented the world with their fourth studio album In Mind.

The band has said fellow New Jersey indie rockers The Feelies are one of their main influences, another reason I really dig these guys.

Prior to the release of In Mind, founding member Matt Mondanile left the band to focus exclusively on the project Ducktails.

I’m happy Coachella 2017 has finally arrived, I’m happy this list is finally over, I’m not happy about these set times, I’ll see you in the desert.

Enjoy some Real Estate vids and check out that Mixtape:

#2 = Car Seat Headrest

17/04/13 at 6.56pm   /   by deepster19   /   1 Comment

Car Seat Headrest 2Do you know what the world needs more of?  Bands like Car Seat Headrest, seriously.  What a breath of fresh air to the indie rock scene this guy has been.

The man behind the moniker Car Seat Headrest is lo-fi extraordinaire Will Toledo.  Dudes been making music since 2010, basically out of his bedroom.

I never heard of him until 2015, but apparently, he’s been putting out albums faster than Guided By Voices and Ty Segall combined, who knew.  His latest effort Teens Of Denial, which is almost a year old, is his thirteenth fucking album.  No shit, 13!  The track “Fill In The Blank” was one of my favorite tunes of 2016.

Back in 2010, he used to throw albums up on his online store with a warning that read: the music isn’t very good.  What a fun way to market oneself!

Based in Seattle by way of Williamsburg, Virginia, the one-man act has now blossomed into a full on four-piece band.

Surprisingly, Car Seat Headrest is actually playing on Saturday and not on Friday.

Can’t Wait!

#3 = Guided By Voices

17/04/12 at 12.35pm   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

Wanna know why there’s no end time for the Guided By Voices set on the recently released set times at this year’s Coachella Music Festival? It’s because GBV may never end.  Guided By Voices are scheduled to close the Sonora Tent on Friday night, a newly constructed venue on the festival grounds.  The band is notorious for playing sets that last between 50-60 tunes deep, which makes The Cure’s sets seem like child’s play.

GBVThe Dayton, Ohio based band is basically the project of frontman Robert Pollard.  The band has seen many lineup changes, as wells as countless breakups.

The band has released close to a gazillion albums since Mr. Pollard put the thing together back in 1983, that should make them Heritage, right?  Their most recent effort August By Cake dropped last week.

I’ve never seen GBV, despite living outside of Dayton in the mid-nineties, around the time of the band’s heyday.  Doesn’t look like I’ll be catching them at Coachella either, that is unless, they play until Tollett flips the switch.

Not seeing GBV, makes me sad.
