feedtime are a criminally underrated post-punk band from the late 70s and 80s Sydney punk scene who caught the bug after seeing local bands like (Australian) X and Rose Tattoo. Sub Pop have re-issued much of the band’s discography as The Aberrant Years and they play this Saturday at the Echo. We caught up with Rick and Tom over a scratchy international call on speakerphone. This interview by Justin Maurer and Dimitri Coats.

Gregory Rogove grew up amongst the Amish, started playing drums at age 10, and went to India on scholarship when he was 18 to study the tabla. (It’s a type of drum, not a tantric ritual.) But it’s Rogove’s latest project, Piana, a cd/dvd set released on Knitting Factory Records, that’s perked our interest. This interview by Nikol Hasler.

Filmmakers Don Argott and Demian Fenton spent years with Pentagram frontman Bobby Liebling, documenting the profligate rock god as he shot up, smoked rock, ran his mouth, shared his record stash, and struggled to escape a decades-long addiction that left him nearing early death in the “sub-basement” of his parents’ home. Bobby will appear in person with the filmmakers at Cinefamily tonight. This interview by Rin Kelly.

Hunx’s new solo LP, Hairdresser Blues—recorded by the Voidoids’ Ivan Julian, whose life and taste Hunx of course managed to change—is out now on Hardly Art. He joins Chris Ziegler and Matt Dupree in conference call while naked, as per usual: “This is not a sexy threeway,” he says. “Unfortunately, I’ve been in less sexy threeways than this.”

The Gories were ‘primal’ and ‘feral’ and ‘savage’ and all the other words that make an Animal Control officer strap on the special gloves, and they didn’t need anything besides Back From the Grave comps and Thunderbird to chop out a couple dozen songs that sound like they came out of the backwoods solely to hunt for prey. L.A. RECORD is proud to have sucked them in to play our show in Austin this year. This interview by Chris Ziegler.

Behold the great and fearsome Spits, just seconds before their drums and their fans caught fire at our last Spits show at Blue Star over the summer. We are fucking thrilled to unleash these dudes on Austin, Texas, where they will be playing with the Gories and irreparably damaging impressionable young minds. RSVP to this FREE all-ages Emo’s Eastside show here and enjoy this immortal interview by the immortal John Henry.

L.A. RECORD’s untoward adoration of Roky Erickson is well known, and so we are freaking for his show at the El Rey Thursday! We reprint here our first-ever Roky interview from Halloween 2008. Win tickets here or buy ‘em here! We’ll also DJ an afterparty at the Monty! Like the man says: “We get together for rock music ’bout 12 ‘o clock every night!” This interview by Chris Ziegler.

Lister is fresh off of a series of large-scale murals in his signature gestural style throughout Los Angeles. Upon entering the gallery I’m faced with a mixture of pastels and elegant ballerina figures prancing across the walls of the gallery, repeated alongside an adapted Van Gogh and miniature expressionistic penises. This interview by Walt! Gorecki.

V. Vale is a founding father of West Coast independent publishing—his ’77 Search and Destroy zine is one of the four secret parents of L.A. RECORD, and his Re/Search books are a decontamination manual for the human mind. He will be speaking with L.A. RECORD alum Henry Rollins at the L.A. Zine Fest on Sunday, which will be followed by a free afterparty with the Allah Las, Cold Showers and Neverever! This interview by Chris Ziegler.

The ennui of off-season cheerleading practice, lifeguarding to save up for a longboard, scheming to elope to Tijuana with my summer camp sweetheart: I can just recall July at sixteen. Neverever have made themselves strangely at home in that moment. They’ll perform this Sunday at L.A. RECORD’s L.A. Zine Fest afterparty, and their new EP Shake-A-Baby is out now on Slumberland. This interview by Bonnie Johnson.
