Pretty sure the title says it all, but a little detail never hurt, right?
Get yourself down to the very fabulous Origami Vinyl in Echo Park tomorrow night to catch a free in-store performance from KH003 artists Cowabunga Babes, who will be in Los Angeles all the way from Austin, TX. We initially caught the ‘Babez back in February at No Cancer, met up with them during SXSW and totally had to put out a tape with them. The group (who, despite their name, have two guys on board) play an infectious, raw brand of noise pop that reeks of drinking cheap beer at 11am on a Saturday after staying up until 5am drinking the night before. Rad.
They’ll play with local band Woah Hunx, who are pretty super-cool themselves; both bands are kicking off a mini West Coast tour this week, so if you can’t make it down to LA, check them out in a city (hopefully) near you.
The best part of tomorrow’s show? Free beer while it lasts.
The other best part? We will have a limited number of pre-sale copies of Cowabunga Babes vs. The Zoltars, the totally amazing split tape between the ‘Babez and fellow Austinites, the Zoltars. These tapes WILL NOT be sold online until later this week, so if you want to hear this cassette ASAP, you’ll have to show up to Origami!
