  1. Unofficial Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. Video

    June 23, 2011 by Steph

    If I was told that this was DEJJ’s new video for “Simple Girl” I wouldn’t have batted an eye. It’s adorable, sweet, and perfect for the lyrics “She’s a simple girl / She’s governed by simple pleasures.” Actress Jennifer Plotkin makes for the picturesque carefree Cali-girl with a twinkle in her eye. It, in fact, was constructed purely for the joy of video-making by some DEJJ fans. Thanks Dru Korab and Tyler Rumph for the great video.

  2. Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr.’s Debut LP Its a Corporate World

    April 19, 2011 by Steph

    I fell in love with Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr.when they played their first Los Angeles show as part of Futuresounds’ The Rumble Tour in September. Their live show is a big gimmick-y but they’re fun and their music is unique–like Animal Collective meets Deerhunter. After releasing Horse Power EP and two remix EPs, they’ve finally compiled a full-length. It’s a Corporate World will be released through Quite Scientific Records in conjunction with Warner Bros. Records.

    In addition, a double EP on vinyl will be made available for the first time and sold on their tour, featuring the Horse Power EP on the front, My Love Is Easy: Remixes Pt. 1 on the back, and comes complete with a pair ofChroma-Depth 3D glasses!

    The band will be on a headlining tour, starting May 10th in Boston. I’m hoping to catch them June 3rd at The Echo. See you there?

  3. The Rumble – Sept 2010

    September 7, 2010 by Steph

    This FREE show is going to RULE. Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. is amazing and I can’t wait to see them live. Meet me there for a drink and some great music.

    Presented by: Future Sounds, BMI, Buzz Bands LA, and Planetary Group…

    “THE RUMBLE is ushering in fall with a bit of NASCAR minus the rednecks, but fear not there will be plenty of beer. We’re stoked to have the much buzzed about DALE EARNHARDT JR. JR. traveling through THE RUMBLE SEPTEMBER as their aptly titled, Horse Power EP is a layered, textual full of shimmering beat laden gems like “Nothing But Our Love.” The Detroit based duo of Josh Epstein and Daniel Zott, have long been on the scene, with a Moby remix under their belt, DALE EARNHARDT JR. JR. are poised for the release of their full length later this year.

    These guys keep racking up the love with a recent Daytrotter Session and shout outs from everyone including, CMJ, Pitchfork, Magnet Magazine and Altered Zones declaring their love for “Simple Girl,” writing, “I wonder how I’ve made it through thousands of mornings without this song.” Plus their dreamy cover of The Beach Boy’s “God Only Knows ” is bound to end up on episode of Big Love sometime soon; we just know it. This mash-up of electro beats, drum machines and elements of psych-folk, make DEJJ the preeminent soundtrack to the hazy end of summer. The band just was named as Stereogum’s ‘ ’40 Best New Bands of 2010’.

    Headlining the event will be the LA-based act, THE SEA OF CORTEZ. The band has already had some pretty impressive support from everyone from Stereogum to KCRW from just the single, “The Shores”, and they just announced that will be coming out with an EP on September 28th called”Testing The Waters”. The EP will feature their first single ‘The Shores’ along with 4 other tracks. Their full length album “Make It Sound” will come out in early 2011.

    The Shores pretty much throws a kitchen sink of influences such as the Beatles, Beach Boys and Neil Young into a lovely shuffle of a song – Nic Harcourt (KCRW)

    Smack dabble in the middle position is LA’s SLANG CHICKENS. This band grabbed our attention with their single, “Tropics” and because they sent us the coolest packaged vinyl LP in some time- in burlap. We’ve been stalking the Chickens for some time, finally put a cage around them. Somehow they have a southern fried sound while passing their days away in Southern California.

    Slang Chickens opened, and were perhaps the most exiting band of the night….They play a brutal mash of surf punk and rockabilly with a hint of sludge metal, the sound crisp and bass thumpy and unlike anything I’ve heard going lately. – LA Weekly”
