Hunx And His Punx Announce 2011 Tour, Release Single For Debut Album


Hunx and His Punx, that mixture of 50s teenage rock n roll, 60s girl groups and bubblegum pop, are finally releasing a proper album after 2009’s Gay Singles LP (Matador/True Panther Sounds), which was a collection of hard-to-find and out-of-print 7″ singles. The Album, Too Young To Be In Love, has a release date of March 29, 2011 through Hardly Art. The foursome will take their “Deliciously trashy homoerotic pop” (Pitchfork) on the road in April after a date at SXSW.

Fergus & Geronimo Release Video From Forthcoming ‘Unlearn’


In anticipation of Unlearn (Hardly Art), the first full-length release from Denton, Texas’s Fergus & Geronimo, the outfit released a video for “Where the Walls Are Made of Grass” (director, Alice Cohen).

Fergus & Geronimo are Jason Kelly and Andrew Savage, two guys with an inclination for weird music a la Frank Zappa’s drive and creative determination. Taking their band name from child gang leaders featured in the 1994 movie, “War of the Buttons” they build their sound on an array of influences.
