If your idea of Russian surf is steeped in B-movies and creepiness, Air Cats band are here to show you a brighter side with a more Shadowsy/Rautalanka guitar tone. Their songs are adventurous but cool, with a tendency to get bouncy rather than nasty ("Billy Bones Boogie") and mysterious rather than creepy ("Hours & Minutes"). It's a fun record to sit back and enjoy the ride, and your wallet can sit back too: free download.

Tons of brand new releases today. For the heck of it, I'll put a star behind it if it's new.
Having all these special themed shows means I don't have an opportunity to play the new stuff. This is that opportunity and there's a silly amount of new stuff to play. Brand new stuff from Arno de Cea, Air Cats Band, Black Flamingos, The Vivisectors, The Splashdowns, The Illuminators, El Supernaut, The Akulas, The Chemist & the Acevities, The Terminators, Nishioka Diddley and his One Man Chia and the Chukukos. And then there's still-new-but-not-in-the-last-3-weeks-new stuff from Genki Genki Panic, Light Strucks, The Incredible Catheads, Amphibian Man and the Bahareebas.
Black Flamingos' name and album art suit them well: fun and exotic, but with a sketchy side. There is a beach party going on for sure, but somebody said they saw a shark.
With no releases from Arno de Cea in either the Clockwork Wizards or the Irradiates, 2016 felt kinda... safe (though Amphibian Man did his best). He's back though, with another album of impossibly huge guitars and apocalyptic panic.
