weed + hippies + diamond


Few things make me happier than mass hippies chilling in parks. Weed Diamond’s new video is just that. All the clips come from a brief documentary called Hippies in het Vondelpark, 1973 and were made by our blitzed out friend, GOTC.

Well now it’s settled, if I’m going to be anywhere at SXSW it’s going to be eating Ethiopian food at Karibu while watching a shit ton of our friends play the tunes we can’t stop jamming out to.

YES. Karibu is at 1209 East 7th Street in Austin, TX 78702. We will announce our plans for SXSW very soon, but I’ll tell you right now that the FMLY Sesh is on Saturday the 20th and will be a perfect transition from these three days of rockin’ with several of our friends stopping through Tejas exclusively for the party.

bros on tour


The last couple weeks have been a little nutty to say the least. Since FMLY FEST in December, it’s been a whirlwind of live music, new friends, good times and expanding horizons. With the first FMLY tour now in the rear view, we would like to invite all of our FMLY to join us tomorrow night for the culmination of two amazing tours. Of course the FMLY DNR TR crew will be present (with the exception of Philip Seymour Hoffman who has migrated back east again). We will be clashing with our pals Weed Diamond, Tan Dollar, Wonder Wheel and Dash Jacket for a truly epic night of music, cheap drinks and good times. Most likely stories will be shared of time on the road and hugs will be plentiful. Of course it wouldn’t be a coming home show if it wasn’t at McWorld[map].

Freshly grown Weed Diamond tune that just budded into an instant love interest. So far we’ve heard some badass party tunes kicked to a 10, but “arlington baby” takes all that aggression and teenage angst and redirects it into something emotionally substantial. A new sound, a new hope, a new hype. We love you Weed Diamond.

In addition, we just received this track from Philip Seymour Hoffman and I’m quite reluctant to post it because it’s not fully complete…but who gives a fuck. These tunes go hand in hand in my mind, so get in a circle and spark that shit homie! “a generation speaks” will be up for download in final form asap, it’s currently in the hands of Eric (Easyboy / Truman Peyote) who is going to be laying some pipe with his magic synth.

rare gems

A sativa somewhere between “Drug Ghoul” and “Weed Demon,” the tunes of Weed Diamond have been known to excite the body and mind into an active state. The medical warnings? Get your daily dosage!

Weed Diamond is Tim Perry, a Denver dude who – from his music – seems super chill with a serious edge to curiosity and tasteful pop culture references. Making the music that water probably hears while washing into the sand, WD’s combination of fuck-this-falsetto and driving pop melodies present the sounds that 2009 has become so accustomed to from a new and highly interesting perspective. Take a deep breath, because these tunes are going to punch it right out of ya. Aside from the tunes you download here, head over to the homie Ian’s Frendship Bracelet blog to download Weed Diamond’s entire demo. And now, for your listening pleasure, I present you a Bee Gees cover by Weed Diamond and some very special tunes by a dude I love listening to. Keep an eye out for a cassette on Mirror Universe and Leftist Nautical Antiques, a 7″ on Transparent and a single on Friendship Bracelet Club Vol. 2.

“thirty-nine children became sick after drinking a well-known soft drink from a school vending machine. within four days, 210 children at four different schools had become sick after consuming the same beverage. a national ban was soon placed on the sale of the drink and the company was forced to withdraw the product. an entire factory was set up for the purpose of emptying all the bottles. a year later, following an investigation, the supreme court ruled that it had been a mass sociogenic illness.”
