The Flying Eyes - Overboard

From Baltimore, Maryland, USA, The Flying Eyes. They play a heavy psychedelic folk rock deeply rooted in the late 1960's. Since forming in 2007, they have opened for such renowned artists as The Raveonettes, The Black Angels, Dead Meadow, Witch and Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys (during SXSW 2009).

The Flying Eyes also produce a grass-roots music festival called "Farm Fest" in Manchester, Maryland. They co-headlined Farm Fest 2010 with The Vandelles and An Albatross, drawing over 600 people to the Carney Family Farm.

In November of 2009, The Flying Eyes released a compilation of their two EPs, "Bad Blood" and "Winter", on German label Trip in Time/World in Sound Records. In the summer of 2010 they supported the album with a six week European tour, notably sharing the main stage of the Burg Herzberg Festival in Germany with legends Hawkwind and Jeff Beck.

New Album "Done So Wrong" coming March 18th 2011 on Trip in Time.

You can hear the characteristics of The Doors and Steppenwolf, but with its own identity. A major strength of the band, is that they hold an striking talent of writing exciting and powerful songs. Will Kelly's dark and exceptional voice (reminiscent of Jim Morrison) leaves his mark on the songs, a powerful component that falls in very well with the other talented musicians who are in the band.

Band Members:
Adam Bufano - Lead Guitar, Banjo, Rhodes, Organ, Electric Saw and Lap Steel
Mac Hewitt - Bass and Vocals
Will Kelly - Lead Vocals, Guitar, 12-String and Banjo
Elias Mays Schutzman - Percussion, Vocals and Harmonica

Todays tune "Overboard" is taken from the latest album "Done So Wrong".

Nachtmystium - Nightfall

Today I got a bit inspired to listen to a "Skull", what skull, you say, yes it is so that there is a blog, where an amazing artist "Slusk" who paints a "skull" of the week, and this week he has been extra good and painted three skulls.

The first skull is one of the band "Death In June" uses.

The second is from Agoraphobic Nosebleeds EP "A Clockwork Sodom."

The third skull is from Nachtmysiums Assassins: Black Meddle, Part 1, which also is a band that we pick today's tune.

Nachtmystium is an American psychedelic black metal band formed by Blake Judd, formerly known as Azentrius, and Pat McCormick. The band's name is derived from the German word Nacht meaning "night", and the made-up term mystium which resembles the Latin adjective mysticum. Judd and McCormick combined the words to create the band's name, which they state means "Encompassing Darkness."

Todays tune "Nightfall" is taken from the fifth full-length album "Addicts: Black Meddle, Pt. II"  It was released on June 8, 2010.

Todays clip is Live in Englewood, CO - Feb. 18th, 2011



A little story:

At the Georgia Scion Rock Fest on Saturday February 28, 2009, Nachtmystium was forced to cancel at the request of the festival's promoters, and sponsors, Toyota, on Tuesday February 23, 2008 due to an unnamed source, who believed the group was a "Nazi" band. Judd promptly released a statement after the incident, stating, "We will be taking legal action against the people who slandered us in this situation, and in the future will file defamation / slander charges against any person or organization who attempts to prevent us from performing anywhere, especially in the United States. So - let it be known loud and clear for the LAST TIME, we ARE NOT a Nazi band, ARE NOT political, are certainly NOT racists and DO NOT support that world or any band, person or business affiliated with it." He also apologized to Nachtmystium fans who traveled to the concert to support the band.

Jeremy Irons & The Ratgang Malibus - Skin Deep

 

A few days ago, a friend and I was looking into a performance by Jeremy Irons & The Ratgang Malibus, here in Stockholm at Scandic Grand Central. A band that was a bit more stripped down than usual and played with a slightly calmer tempo than what they normally do. But must say I was heavily surprised that it could sound so amazingly good, incredibly talented musicians and the singer has a pipe that you really get goose skin of, shit pommes!

Now I want to see and hear them run a full electric set!

Here is some picture from the gig!

More pictures will be added to Tune Of The Days Official Facebook page!

Todays tune "Skin Deep" is taken from the album "Bloom".

Primus - Hennepin Crawler

 

How hard it is to describe the band Primus, or even try to make a simple description of their music? Well I'll give it a try. This is a mix of Funk-rock, Progressive metal, Humor, pop, psychedelic-folk, Have I covered everything now? Les Claypool takes without shame all of it and in their blender and create something that come through the twisted marriage of cheese humor and pork-funk. Haha that wasn't a simple description.

The band's former creative landmarks such as the "Sailing the Seas of Cheese" and "Pork Soda." Are two records that simply must be part of a well-stocked collection of music, which I would also like to add this new record. I will not write a full review on their new album, can only say that the Green Naugahyde is a trainwreck of entertainment. A really fun and bouncy playhouse of Primus.

The album's title comes from the lyrics to the song "Lee Van Cleef", which describe a group of friends watching movies featuring Lee Van Cleef and Clint Eastwood, and driving a yellow Studebaker with a green Naugahyde interior.

Wooden Shjips - Lazy Bones

 

San Francisco native, Wooden Shjips, the leading peddlers of psych, takes us on a little evening stroll on the U.S. west coast with the appropriate title of the new album, West. After being around for more than five years, Wooden Shjips is finally releasing their first studio-recorded full-length, but it's the third one in order. The record is a metaphorical journey steeped in 60's and 70's psychedelic rock, with long, melodic guitar tunes and vague song that faithful Wooden Shjips beings. This is at times wonderfully minimalist monotone which for some reason turns me on.

One of my favorite songs on the album, which also is today's Tune Of The Day, "Lazy Bones", transporting the listener into the California coast, somewhere between Los Angeles and Santa Barbara, near Malibu, a pleasant place, where I follow the coast road, Pacific Coast Highway, climbing up the hillsides in Santa Monica and Malibu Canyon and I feel that here is not a worry in the world. The rest of the album follows the same line where it is easy to daydream, to transport out of their reality and into the hot desert.

Todays tune "Lazy Bones" from Wooden Shjips latest effort "West"



Wooden Shjips guitarist Ripley Johnson also plays in a side project, Moon Duo, formed in 2009 with Sanae Yamada. They have so far released one EP (Killing Time, 2009, on Sacred Bones) and two albums (Escape, 2010, on Woodsist; Mazes, 2011, on Sacred Bones)

For The Imperium - Creator

 

For The Empire from Finland was founded two years ago, a four-piece group, which says it was meant to combine the unknown in their own way, technical metal, pop-rock and hardcore.

For The Empire has released two self financed ep's and done lots of gigs in Finland and is underway to cross the border to Scandinavia and Europe. The band released their debut album, 08.31.2011.

For The Imperium. Now what kind of a name is that supposed to be? Who knows?

Finland, the elongated country with a thousand lakes. A country where it pops up one and another good band in between, has encountered some over the years. But surely missed a lot. Now latley i run into "For The Empire" and their self-titled debut album. This is a cool mix of rock. It's like filling a blender with just the majority of rock music you've ever heard, it becomes a delightful Smoothy of rock, strawberries, metal, vanilla, hardcore and insanity. The first association was Fair To Midland, wonderfully crazy chaos.

Speaking of Finland, the Finnish hard rock take over Stockholm the night of October 6, 2011

Some of the most talked about hard rock bands from Finland, Poisonblack, The Man-Eating Tree, and Blake, gets up at Nalen Club on October 6. The evening is presented by "Skrikhult Production", which is one of the leading booking companies within metal in Sweden. Metal evening is part of the MOI! Stockholm Festival, which retrieves the hottest music from Finland to the main scene in Stockholm 5-8 October.

Todays tune "Creator" is taken from the debut record.

Jeremy Irons & The Ratgang Malibus - IAOA

 

Swedish Jeremy Irons & The Ratgang Malibus plays a soulful smart rock slightly spiced by an occasional pharmaceuticals. This is music with a retro approach that takes its listeners on exciting excursions deep into the mind. The new album "Bloom" is filled with a massive use of sweeping passages of dripping wet guitars that shake and tremble well into the morning, song dressed in an oceanic reverb that pours through the panting rock and roll, melodies that move in cycles and works that have a run time of more than nine minutes. The musical references are early Pink Floyd and Black Sabbath, the psychedelic parts of Led Zeppelin, the simplicity of Rolling Stone, you will have a fine blend of bloom.

Whoever value 70s progressive rock will surely be fond of this album.

Lineup:
Karl Apelmo – Vocals / Guitars
Mikael Pettersson – Guitars
Viktor Kallgren – Bass
Henrik Persson - Drums

Todays tune "IAOA" is taken from the bands latest release "Bloom", Enjoy!
