LA-based band Blackblack are once again on the move. They have a slew of shows coming up, and you should try and catch one if you can. You can purchase their 2 EPs from their website or at a show. And yes this is Alex Greenwald’s side band, but dont let that overshadow the group’s music. Always dressed up in costumes for their shows, this band has built up a cult-like following of there own.

Check out their songs from their newest EP:

Emerald Forest

The Energy Song

Note: these are mp4s, so you will need itunes to play them.

You can also check them out on their Myspace.

Upcoming Shows:
may 23 @ The Smell***
may 30 @ 6th & Alameda Warehouse with THE LIKE
may 31 @ 830 Gallery
june 7 @ 1st Annual Manimal Vinyl Festival
july 15 @ Echo Curio

*** Some info on their show tonight at The Smell: the other bands playing are White and the Writing, Zombelle, Pocahaunted, and Vivian Girls (from Brooklyn). Also, there is going to be really good raw vegan food by Crops and Rawbers, so come hungry! Also haircuts by Marie and possibly some fun crafts/activities. Possibly a make your own button table, so come creative! And come psyched!!!

$5, all ages, doors open at 9.

Does it get any better than these Paul Smith oxfords? I don’t think so. Perfect heel, perfect color not to mention patent leather and round-toed. They even crease with style…and the yellow and white eyes.

Aye, dios mio.
