Manimal Vinyl Monday Night Residency with The Child

Yeah, it's possible. A gorgeous, glamy, crunchy, arty, fashiony Rock and Roll band you can dance to. Fear not, they have checked both their egos and satin jackets at the door. With a self-deprecating sense of humor, these lords of rock are as sweet as rock candy. Welcome to the Wacky World of "Hammered Satin." Don't let the name fool you. Hammered Satin did not come from the "Land of Ice and Snow", rather, they bubbled into consciousness in the Land of Sunshine and Celluloid. Noah Wallace, front man, and songwriter is the "Thomas Wolfe" of Rock and Roll. He writes songs chronicling a social condition where the glitter kids, glitterati, social elite and social effete mix in Hollywood's cultural madness. "Lets Go" is a Rock and Roll anthem. The beat is thumping, the melody unforgettable, and the message is simple: "Lets go, Rock and Roll, Baby Lets Rock and Roll". We all need a song that makes you get your stomp on. When asked how he wrote the song Hollywood Nights, Wallace said, "I thought about the nasty side of Hollywood, the side that destroys and ravishes the naive. It's my version of a public service announcement, or cautionary tale, if you will, about what not to do when you move to LA." Noah's song Cougar Kingdom explores the 40+ set. "I don't mean just the size of their boobs or bank accounts. I just dig the way older chicks can look really sexy and act the same way guys did in the 70's". What their songs have in common are catchy lyrics, an unexpected sense of social commentary creating a wacky, twisted, style of rock and roll backed by glittery, crunchy hooks.

Charlie and Pete Tijerina formed Young Girls in the spring of 2010. They recorded a few tracks in Charlie’s bedroom and released a 7” called “Six pack back stab”. The track got them some notoriety on various blogs and the boys were asked to go on a Midwest tour by the time summer rolled around. After some local and regional success in Texas they decided to record a self titled full length which
also got some critical acclaim on the web spanning from Argentina to Japan.
In the summer of 2011, they played Houston’s Free Press Summer Fest and then crossed the great pond and landed some gigs in London, Paris and Amsterdam. In December of 2011 they played a few gigs in NYC, and in Austin Texas. Though only being around for a little over two years, the band has shared the stage with some great national bands including: The Drums, Warpaint, Ringo Deathstarr, The Generationals, Girl in a Coma, and Dale Earhardt Jr Jr.

"Brooklyn post-punk trio FAN-TAN are nearing completion of their debut LP entitled A Strange Game. Last month they released the album's first single "1989" to overwhelmingly complimentary reviews. The song is available as a free download at their bandcamp site. A Strange Game will be out later this year, with a US tour to follow.

FAN-TAN have come to be well-known for their intense live performances, melding swirling guitar noise and icy bass to post-punk rhythms, haloed by sharp, lilting vocal melodies. Like a more rigid MBV or a less rigid Gang of Four. A more dramatic JAMC. A kinder Suicide."
