  1. The Rumble, May 2011

    April 28, 2011 by Steph

    We’re going big for Cinco de Mayo when The Fling head to home base for The Rumble LA at The Echo with Apex Manor and The New Division.

    Long-Beach-bred, The Fling hark back to the glory days of those infamous Laurel Canyon jam sessions of the 70’s with their brand of psych-infused alt-country  folk rock. They’re  joining us for the entire West Coast run of The Rumble Tour in support of the re-release of When The Madhouses Appear (Dangerbird Records) on May 3rd.

    Ross Flournoy has risen from the ashes of The Broken West, with Apex Manor, who dropped their debut, The Year of Magical Drinking (Merge Records) this past January. Resident LA blogger and purveyor of amazing taste Surfing on Steam has already included it in his Best of 2011.  Aquarium Drunkard boldly claimed, “It’s going to be a tough race to craft a better pop record this year.” Perfectly-crafted SoCal sun-flecked power pop at it’s very best; this is the chance to catch Apex Manor before they hit the road with Jonny this summer.

    Riverside’s THE NEW DIVISION puts a new spin on 80’s styled beats and synths,
    à la New Order. The Rookie EP landed them a Forkcast nod from Pitchfork in November. Their single, “Starfield” is a crisp new wave gem that NME called, “a symphonic swath of synths fit for regal ceremony.”

    DJ HOLLOW EYED will be spinning between sets.
