In conjunction with Dublab’s Matthewdavid, Anticon’s Shaun Koplow (sodapop) hosts a free 21+ weekly music night on Fridays at the Hyperion Tavern in L.A., from 10 until 2 a.m. Two weeks ago, “Calling All Kids” featured special DJ sets from Doseone, Jel, Thanksgiving Brown and Pedestrian. Last week, Thavius Beck dropped by, and THIS FRIDAY, Yoni Wolf of WHY? stops in.
In other WHY? news, the band has contributed a new song, “Eskimo Snow (sock hop version),” to a limited CD/LP compilation benefiting Sudanese refugees. Tiny Mix Tapes Vol. 1: Darfur, released by the webzine of the same name, also includes contributions by good folk like Mount Eerie, Jim O’Rourke, Dan Deacon and Xiu Xiu. Cop it here. Album art above.
Finally, half of the lineup for ATP’s annual UK fest, “The Fans Strike Back,” is decided by votes from ticket-holders. Well, this year’s request list is in and WHY? came in at number five just below Bonnie Prince Billy and TV On The Radio. The band was voted in last year, so this bodes well.
Why? – Waterfalls (Almost Live From Eli’s)
Why? – Simeons Dilemma (Almost Live From Eli’s)
