Tempura Rots Your Brain(roof)

Just a quick night trip of slightly brooding jangle from new(ish) Brisbane band Tempura Nights. Rising from the ashes of Go Violets and featuring members from Major Leagues and The Good Sports, Tempura Nights bring us 'Brainroof' which follows the current penchant for moody 90s guitar indie rock (one I have been very partial towards I must admit), and the Speedy Ortiz parallels are present and accounted for. The feedback about 2:15 in really hammers that home - its a wonderful sound. The song is a simple pleasure, but sometimes they are the best. I still haven't decided what a brainroof really is though.



Having played alongside the likes of Tomorrows Tulips, Palms, Bad//Dreems, Snowy Nasdaq and Emma Russack this year, with a gig alongside Richard In Your Mind in the near future, expect to hear from these guys.

When Is Tomorrow('s Tulips)?

Time to get drowned. Drowned in a somnambulist's drift. Drowned in a malfunctioning smoke machine. Drowned in sweat from the back of your narcotic-fuelled lover(s). Drowned in the glue that holds life together. Drowned in the Tulips...



 It's great to have Tomorrow's Tulips back in action, and on Burger Records to boot. Grab When here.

Casual Teenage Tomorrows Eternally

Paul became entranced by Tomorrows Tulips last year when they contacted us about their Optimistic Vibes EP. Over a year ago now, yet that little gem was our first "discovery", so is very close to our hearts. There was a track off it called 'Eternally Teenage', which we also features as their music video. Well, its come time for an album launch, and Eternally Teenage (you could say they haven't thought hard to come up with that name, seeing as its the title of a year old song of theirs, but then again being a teenager for eternity means you can use it whenever you want) will drop July 19 via Galaxia. Tomorrows Tulips are still a duo, still in love, and still offering slacker SoCal beach fuzz gems. Singer Alex Knost still gives off those stoner surfer vibes, probably because that is what he is. Yet in all seriousness, it isnt reinventing the wheel, or even the Rock, but its casual nonchalance doesnt piss me off, so that's my obtuse way of giving it the thumbs up.

Seeing as the SM blog has been going only for a few months we don't get many bands sending us stuff; but when we do we'll always try to give it a listen, its most welcome. Today though I opened up the Sonic Masala email to find this little gem nestling in the inbox, Tomorrows Tulips.

Tomorrows Tulips have just released their debut e.p. on Papermade. Its a cassette release with mp3 download. They've even sent me a link for the vid of their track Eternally Teenage - a lovely slice of dreamy garage pop it is too, just what the doctor ordered before I get too worked up over Double Dagger this weekend.

Taste below of the track Optimistic Vibes, also taken for the E.P, buy here.
Thanks Tomorrows Tulips.
