Here is a B-side from Deloused in the Comatorium era Mars Volta. Everyone interested is probably already aware of this one. The lyrics were recycled into the later-released Day of the Baphomets from Amputechture. But the song is completely its own. Follows a savage arrangement with a surprisingly cool and mellow coda for these guys. The Volta take the stage at the Orpheum this Sunday night, I m...

One thing that I noticed when I was a participant in the graffiti scene in San Francisco was an ongoing battle between the crews US and HR over the name Cake which had been claimed by a member from both crews. Both members are from Oakland, but while Cake 89 is a tattoo artist, the other Cake is the new Mars Volta drummer. I don't know which one is more impressive, but although I like Cake 89...

After listening to an advanced copy of The Bedlam in Goliath for about a week, I am ready to release my opinion of the record, and the band as a whole. This comes at a perfect time, for the album will be released tomorrow. This may help you save money and rather indulge in something that may not leave you somewhat annoyed.It is important to begin with my proclamation of being a huge At The Driv...

The Mars Volta's new album quietly came out on Tuesday. Quietly in that there doesn't seem to be much buzz here about it, and quietly also in the way the record sounds. A lot of the songs are very subdued compared to other releases of theirs such as The Bedlam in Goliath. It's an album that really takes it time in creating in sonic textures rather than being always crazy and in-your-face. I rea...

Journeying out on Saturday was brutal. Unlike the Thursday and Friday, there was barely a cloud in sight and the sun was blazing. So, the first place we headed was the This Tent where folky Elvis Perkins played with his backing band Dearland which was a superb, mellow way to start another extremely long day. He played the popular single "While You Were Sleeping" which was pretty well done. The ...
