SECRET TREEFORT IN-STORE REVEAL: CAMPER VAN BEETHOVEN AT 4:30!

FuckYa-CamperVanBeethoven-ThrasherToday’s Record Exchange Secret Treefort In-store is …

Camper Van Beethoven!

Camper Van Beethoven (playing at the El Korah Shrine at 9 p.m. tonight) will perform at 4:30 p.m. TODAY at The Record Exchange, 1105 W. Idaho St. in Downtown Boise. As always, this Record Exchange in-store event is free and all ages — and you don’t need a Treefort pass to attend (but you should get one anyway and we have them for sale at the store).

ABOUT CAMPER VAN BEETHOVEN

Camper Van Beethoven is an American alternative rock group formed in Redlands, California, in 1983 and later located in Santa Cruz and San Francisco. Their eclectic and ever-evolving style mixes elements of pop, ska, punk rock, folk, alternative country, and various types of world music. The band initially polarized audiences within the hardcore punk scene of California’s Inland Empire before finding wider acceptance and, eventually, an international audience. Their strong iconoclasm and emphasis on do-it-yourself values proved influential to the burgeoning indie rock movement.

Released within an 18 month period, the band’s first three independent records enjoyed critical success, each placing in The Village Voice’s 1986 Pazz and Jop Top 100 Albums list. Their debut single, “Take the Skinheads Bowling”, remains a college rock radio staple. The group signed to Virgin Records in 1987, released two lauded albums and enjoyed chart success with their 1989 cover of Status Quo’s “Pictures of Matchstick Men”, a number one hit on Billboard Magazine’s Modern Rock Tracks. They disbanded the following year, however, due to internal tensions.

Individual members found greater commercial success thereafter, with lead singer David Lowery forming Cracker, multi-instrumentalist David Immerglück joining the Counting Crows, and several other members playing in Monks of Doom. Beginning in 1999, the former members resumed their collaboration, resulting in a full-fledged reunion and several new releases.

SECRET TREEFORT IN-STORE REVEAL: SAGE FRANCIS TONIGHT AT 5PM!

sage_francisToday’s Record Exchange Secret Treefort In-store is …

Sage Francis!

Francis (playing a 21+ Treefort show at Reef at 12:30 a.m. tonight) will deliver a special spoken word performance at 5 p.m. TODAY at The Record Exchange, 1105 W. Idaho St. in Downtown Boise. As always, this Record Exchange in-store event is free and all ages — and you don’t need a Treefort pass to attend (but you should get one anyway and we have them for sale at the store).

ABOUT SAGE FRANCIS

Dubbed as the “forefather of indie-hop,” Sage Francis first made a name for himself in the spoken word scene and by winning the most highly coveted titles in the emcee battle circuit during the early 2000s.

After that, Francis set aside the more boastful sides of rap and became recognized for his poetic leanings and the scathing socio-political commentary in the lyrics featured on his Strange Famous and Epitaph Records releases. Like so many great songwriters before him, Francis uses his gifted wordplay for a much greater good, creating vivid narratives and heartfelt confessionals to instigate and inspire the listener. Whether either of those things happen, his dying wish is simply for his beard to grow so long that he can fuck it.

FULL SECRET TREEFORT IN-STORE SCHEDULE

Thursday, March 21, 5 p.m. — Sage Francis
Friday, March 22, 4 p.m. — ?
Saturday, March 23, 3 p.m. — ?

THE VINYL WORD: HOW TO DESTROY ANGELS 'WELCOME OBLIVION'

new vinylPREVIEW/BUY THE VINYL HERE

Trent Reznor often seems more robot than man, like he plugs in and charges up each night instead of sleeping. Luckily, his musical output has proven reliably alive. Following Nine Inch Nails’ consistent excellence and stellar work scoring David Fincher’s ‘The Social Network’ and ‘The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo’ comes the debut HTDA album, an impressively powerful affair. Despite boasting such a dominant frontman, his wife and co-vocalist Mariqueen Maandig’s harmonious vocals rule here, adding something softer to the digitised beats of ‘On The Wing’ and ‘Keep It Together’. Only the overlong ‘Ice Age’ disappoints on a solid, often stunning record. –NME
