See Sunny Day Real Estate performing “Seven”!

I do not need to tell you anything about the band, Sunny Day Real Estate are one of the most influential bands of the mid-90s from Seattle. After 15 years they are again touring in the USA with the original members.

somewhat 1993 (taken from SDRE homepage)

All these memories about classics like “Song About An Angel”, ugh, the whole “Diary” is such a fucking great record, one of the best Sub Pop has ever released. Due to SDRE’s new tour the label has re-issued “Diary”, get it on 2 x 12″ if you haven’t until now!
Go on reading to see them playing live.

Bands you should know Part I: Glasses

Wow, I really love this band although they haven’t any record out until now, but this will change soon: Vendetta Records will release Glasses first full-length in the near future. The band is a mishmash of people from Trainwreck, the already disbanded Perth Express, The 244GL and the also already disbanded The F.A.

The band describes themselves on their myspace site with the following words:

In summer 2008 Rocko (ex Perth Express), Benni (the 244GL) and Marc (Trainwreck) started rehearsing. Later, Sam (ex The F.A.) joined the band. In december they had enough songs to record their first output on Vendetta Records. The 12″ will be released in early 2009, the first show was played in Aachen 2008… to be continued.
