JACUZZI BOYS (Hardly Art Records/ Hozac/ Florida’s Dying, Miami… MYSPACE)
with guests TBA
at The Talking Head at Sonar
All ages// 10:30pm// free$
The Jacuzzi Boys are guitarist/vocalist Gabriel Alcala, drummer Diego Monasterios, and bassist Danny Gonzalez, three dudes from South Florida, bright as neon and fun as hell. After forming the band in 2007 and accruing a handful of 45s, the group released the LP No Seasons on Florida’s Dying (located in nearby Orlando, FL) in 2009. Now, in 2011, we have Glazin’ – their second full-length, and the first for Hardly Art.
…
Crisp hand claps, tambourine shake, zip gun guitar and sneaky lazer keys are all here, alongside rolling bass lines, the sharp-snap drums of the unshakable Jacuzzi Boys’ sound, and Alcala’s cool, breezy vocals winding through it all. The trio offers up 10 new tracks of outré power pop, occasionally roaming into surf territory (“Lebras and Zebras”) as well as some heavy metallic glitter (“Silver Sphere”). Despite having been recorded in Michigan, nearly every track on Glazin’ circles back to Miami through love ditties about crushing and glazin’, big anthems dedicated to waiting on a bus, and miniature neon glam rock opuses about a death dream and erections.
While it conjures images both sweet and sexual, those looking for specific meaning within the term “glazin’” will be disappointed. When pressed for details, the band confirmed that there is no concrete definition for the word. Alcala made it up, and the band instantly knew what he meant by it. It could be a state of mind, it could be a way of life, it could be about sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll. However it is meant to be taken, with any luck, Glazin’ will soon become synonymous with Miami: “The Gun Club and X are so L.A., and Television is so New York,” says Gonzalez. “It’s such a part of what makes them who they are, you know? I always wanted to have a band like that, birthed from its environment.”
HEAVY CREAM (from Nashville, Infinity Cat Records) have been added to the M.O.T.O., HOLLYWOOD, FASTBOYS M.I.A., NORTHERNMOST show at the Talking Head on 8/7.
CONFIRMED! 8/13

Iceage
A smart young punk band pushing out its life force, conceptually inspired but deep into a throwaway mood, condensing the entire clatter and tumble of its ensemble sound in every bar: we’re lucky to hear that. It usually comes on a first album; it usually only happens this way once. It happened a lot in 1977 — Wire’s “Pink Flag,” Pere Ubu’s “Modern Dance,” the Homosexuals’ “Record.” Iceage, a teenage band from Copenhagen that writes songs in English, has made in “New Brigade” an album a bit like those, with songs like chains of hooks that they’ve connected by sheer force of will.
