Music Shit / Home Blitz looking for drummer

« on: April 29, 2007, 06:48:59 PM »

Hey, the band Home Blitz is looking for a drummer so our current drummer can switch to 2nd guitar. Drummer should be pretty good but not necessarily extremely skilled, able to play in competent fast rock style as well as more free/crumbly styles. Influences include Brinsley Schwarz (4th album only), Sidewinders, Hackamore Brick, early Scritti Politti, Real Kids, Meat Puppets, I dunno. If you are interested or know someone who might be, please let me know. The drummer should be available for semi-regular (couple times a week at most) practices in Princeton, NJ, USA and sporadic gigging around the tri-state area. If interested, contact homeblitz (at) gmail.com. Thanks! Daniel

New Releases For Sale/Distro Updates / Car Commercials JAR 7"

« on: January 17, 2007, 06:19:14 PM »

The debut record by Car Commercials, the JAR 7", is out now on Leaf Leaf records.  4 songs by this combo featuring members of Ladderwoe, Home Blitz, USA Gold Exchange, and GT Performers.  To order, contact thebestbluebicycle@yahoo.com or www.myspace.com/leafleafrecords.  Here is a sweet review that compares us to the Prats:

...But the whole stupid reason I started this spiel, was to talk about this new 7" entitled 'Jar' by New Brunswicks' Car Commercials. Car Commercials includes a dude named Dave whose done stuff under the name Ladderwoe and has a finger (heh-heh) in the fore mentioned USA Gold Exchange. It also includes that dashing lil furball Daniel DiMaggio, who you might know from his Home Blitz fame. The two dudes do up some real demented jams on this slab. Tape recorders get shut on and off, sped up...slowed down and then they bust into some rockin' and then some close-talkin' microphone action. You like the Prats? early Shadow Ring? Do you get joy outta knowing there's kids half your age that are as fucked up as you? Then, mister...jump on this today! Limited to....ahh...y'all HAD to see that one comin'. But seriously, get with these jokers and get a copy of this single. It's a dingaling up the shnozola, lemme tell you...

Music Shit / guitar solo tape

« on: January 15, 2007, 03:19:44 PM »

I remember on FMU's Beware of the Blog (pretty sure this is where I heard it) they posted a 10 minute excerpt of a phone call in which a really enthusiastic dude related in great detail the top 3 guitar solos he had ever seen.  It was very funny, but I can't find any record of the post on the internet. Does anyone know the name of this tape or where I can hear the whole thing?

Music Shit / Sparks ripoff bands

« on: November 13, 2006, 12:45:57 PM »

It seems like there were a surprising amount of these considering how cult/obscure I understand that Sparks were BIDT.

Milk N' Cookies
The Quick
Cigarettes
Jet

These are all the ones I can think of.  Any others? Obviously these are not strictly rip off bands, as all of them are great in there own right, but they all exhibit an overt Sparks influence.

Music Shit / bass player wanted

« on: October 20, 2006, 01:22:28 PM »

Home Blitz is looking for a bass player to augment our current guitar/drums lineup.  Should be pretty good at bass, able to play by ear for simple stuff, and familiar with basic music theory, like roots of chords etc.  Also should be available for kind of regular (weekly at most) practices in Princeton, NJ, and sporadic shows around the tri-state area.  If you are interested or know someone who is, contact this address. Thanks! Daniel
