cool

Really? I saw them live and wasn't impressed, the riffs and chords were pretty generic it seemed.
I thought Naked On The Vague and Times New Viking blew them away that night.

I like the Necropolis single more than the Psychedelic Horseshit single...

krastian 04.11.2008 02:17 PM

They have some pretty good songs, but was slightly disappointed with them considering the good things I've heard about them.

Long live garage bands!!

Disgruntled Youth 04.11.2008 04:14 PM

Yeah I saw them 3 weeks ago with Times New Viking @ my friends basement, awesome show!!!

I wanted to get that today but it wasn't checked in at the store yet. IE they had it but I couldn't buy it. LAME.

Onani Nic 04.13.2008 03:00 AM

Living in Australia I haven't seen them live but I love the album. I think they're better than Times New Viking although I really like them too.

Naked on the Vague are good but not as shambolic like the Horseshit.
Wfmu has a session by Psychedelic Horseshit up for download. They attempt a cover of Dylan's ''Like A Rolling Stones'' that is utterly and gloriously messy.

Here it is:

Tell Tom Petty to Wait In the Bus: Psychedelic Horseshit Live in the WFMU Studios

Columbus, Ohio in the house for my radio show, providing a day of fine dining, high entertainment and more than a little Robert Zimmerman channeling (they soundchecked live with "Like A Rolling Stone"). I'm not quite sure who was the Donovan here to guitarist Matt's Dylan (guesting bassist Kevin Failure of Pink Reason was way too tall), butStation Manager Ken provided D.A. Pennebaker action. Their new disc Magic Flowers Droned on Siltbreeze is one of the listens of the year for those who like their indelible hooks smothered in Swell Maps-ian basement confusion. Besides the vid clip below, you may
 
download the whole glorious 34 minute session on MP3 here (with the cusses previously edited out for radio now intact we might add), Psychedelic Horseshit's My Spacehere. Big thanks to Gil Shuster for awesome sound engineering!

Saw 'em on Monday in Portland...bass player's parts were recorded onto a cassette tape which was played through the kinda player that you might remember seeing at your elementary school's A/V resources room if you were born before 1980...a stumbling mess that was pretty awful at times, but it was never less than fall-down-laughing funny. Saw 'em again here in Sacto last night in a basement. They'd been rejoined by their bass player. Some of the songs were able to hit their grooves, but it was still more of a comedy show for the most part.

Gonna go see 'em again tonight in SF with Times New Viking.

The Horseshit boys are touring now with Fabulous Diamonds from Australia who are slinky, smooth psychedelic synth tickling with vocal harmonies that sound like zombies if only zombies could be sexy. The album is very nice, and their show last night was pretty great, too.

Just so you won't be asking "how come I didn't figure this out sooner...?", just take it on faith that you should investigate everything that comes out on Siltbreeze Records. Hasn't failed me since I was in high school thanks to Byron Coley's review of Harry Pussy wherein he said that "to you, Harry Pussy sounds as frightening as Sonic Youth sounds to your parents." And I was like, OOOOHHHH, I gotta hear that!

Onani Nic 06.13.2008 10:51 PM

Yep, Siltbreeze is pretty the best label around! Fabulous Diamonds have developed from a band that were pretty great to totally amazing. Weirdo white-dub meets all that kraut-analogue synth stuff, but totally catchy.

Everyone in the US go and see them! Also say hi as they're really nice people.

Also, what an album cover:
 

Toilet & Bowels 06.14.2008 06:47 AM

the only thing i've heard on siltbreeze that hasn't at least been very good was ashtabula, but it's pretty much my favourite label ever.

batreleaser 06.14.2008 08:19 AM

yes, slitbreeze has always been great. there is bands on their i dont like (times new viking, sebadoh) but WAY more bands that i love, many i consider my favorites, (dead c, harry pussy, the shadow ring, charalmbides, a band, a handful of dust, bardo pond, ex-cocaine) and im really digging all their new signings, psychedelic horseshit, pink reason, etc..

NEW RELEASES (the upcoming truckload)
ALOHA---
its been so long since we had a legit release that we practically forgot we were a band, rich thought he was in the traveling circus and i was under the impression that we were in a touring horseshit/pink reason cover band, what other way to explain the coming and going of nearly 13 different bass players? "if i ever have to sing bad vibrations again" i said to myself, "i'm gonna find the dick that wrote it and kick himin the face", but i guess thats me, and my dirty feet can't reach.... oh well, one day.
Anyways, at various points during the last year and a half we somehow managed to record something like 30 new songs without even knowing it. theres songs that sound like duran duran and mos def in the same ten second stretch, its pretty intense. how did this happen? all i remember is that we woke up from a delusional drug coma found out we had purchased a sampler and lots of other weird pedals and FX shit and there were two full reels of material just relaxing in their spools. when we listened to the stuff we started to laugh uncontrollably, "whoa, this shit is kinda gay and funny" we said. but noones gonna wanna jam 30 songs in a row, so we set about the quite rigorous and intellectual task of putting them together into little groups or patterns that made sense to us, of course this just made even less sense b/c rich and i have really poor judgement, and we eneded up with one extended player with nothing but reverberated drum solos on it, needless to say siltbreeze was thrilled with the "new direction" but thought that it needed some more instrumental interludes, so back to the drawing board we went. months passed, we drank, we ate (drugs), we fought, we broke up the band at least 20 times and finnaly said fuck it, this blows---
only last night, after seeing the ghost of our long gone 3rd bass player "sanchez", did all these fuuny recordings start to gel. see, sanchez told us that if we wanted any of this shit to make sense as albums and ep's then we gotta forget about it cause the shit what we recorded sucks ass and don't fit together any which way you slice it. so we threw all the song titles and descriptions into a cincinnatti reds hat and made up the next six months of our recorded output lives.
and it goes like this.....

first up, a self released LP collecting our very first and oldest 4 track recordings
--GOLDEN OLDIES the paper singles collection, LP only! to be released in march or april, 20 trax from 2005-2006 (contact us about pre-order)

then the new material,
all of it...
---SHITGAZE ANTHEMS 12" EP (woodsist) 6 songs out spring 2009
---ACID TEST 12" EP (troubleman unltd.) 7 jams out late spring/early sum 09
---BEACHED WAILS 7" (cdr singles club) 3 songs surprise release date!
---TOO MANY HITS LP (siltbreeze) second full length out late summer 09

after that, who knows? maybe you too will put out a horseshit release this year, maybe we'll have 30 more jams by summer, maybe we'll finally LET rick rubin produce that horseshit album he's been waiting so patiently to do for years. "the futures in the air" as they say.
thats the short and long of it though. go buy these if you see them. we hope you will like them but don't really give a fuck if you actually do. if yr a distro interested in GOLDEN OLDIES please hit us up at psychedelichorseshit@yahoo.com for ordering information and pricing.
-oh, yeah. and look for us on tour of the east half of the country with QUINTRON during the month of april. and we'll see the rest of y'all in the summer and fall.
yrs truly,
mr. matt horseshit
