BEACH FOSSILS LIVE ON THALASSIQUE

Shen, Chris, John and Dustin of BEACH FOSSILS at WNYU

Tonight Beach Fossils played a live set of 5 songs off their forthcoming full-length debut from Brooklyn based labels Captured Tracks & Woodsist. During the interview we learned that Beach Fossils creator Dustin Payseur hates the beach, but likes the fossils you can find there, which I have yet to really learn about in my underwater explorations on the Internet. We also learned that the band was assembled after Payseur sent home recordings to a bunch of labels and heard back from Captured Tracks---then sprang to Missed Connections, er, the Internet to find a live band for the dates he booked. Shen, their current drummer, only joined Chris, John and Dustin last week for CMJ to jump in and play the songs off the cuff but it's been going pretty well. They've played shows with Air Waves, the Smith Westerns, Woods, Titus Andronicus and Here We Go Magic (and that's just counting some of the 5 CMJ dates they did last week), and the first ten people to see the following link will get to hear them play on Thalassique before we archive it on WNYU.ORG:

But sometimes, retarded shit happens to the recording of the first half of your show, and you don't have it available for archiving or download. As the Action Painting song goes, 'these things happen.'

Also after the live set was caUSE co-MOTION's "And You Wonder" from the Because Because Because EP from Slumberland, and at the end of my show I played "Portsmouth Daydream Supper" by Campfires, who will be on my show NEXT WEEK! Doing really cool stuff!

ADIOS JULITAS!
