Plus: Megapuss album due this year
Photos by Ben High of Spectre
Forkcast got the jump on this one, but us news freaks here have the details. Wacko Renaissance man Devendra Banhart and Priestbird percussionist/ multi-instrumentalist Greg Rogove have gone and started a band called Megapuss (not to be confused with that other group of weird folkies, Megafaun-- or Megadeth, for that matter.)
As you can see in the photos above and below, Megapuss made their live debut last night (June 18) at Los Angeles' Hammer Museum, treating the gathered to eight originals and a "loose" cover of Tears for Fears' "Everybody Wants to Rule the World", according to a FADER report. The originals included "Duck People, Duck Man" (sung by Aziz Ansari-- why not?), "Crop Circle Jerk '94", "Chicken Tits", "Hollywood", and "Surfin".
Oh, and they projected what appear to be nude photographs of Devendra behind the band. And Devendra wore a skirt made out of penises. (Or maybe it's a belt? FADER thinks it's a skirt.) Los Angeles, you never fail to bewilder.
And indeed, as it turns out, Megapuss won't be stopping there. According to Devendra's publicist, the band has already finished recording "an album's worth of material which will be released in 2008." According to FADER, Devendra announced that the album will be called Surfin.

With Neko Case, Andrew Bird, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Cool Kids
People of Salt Lake City! That Thursday night Lamaze class down at the Y has just got to go. At least until September, that is.
Every Thursday night from July 10-August 28, your fair city's Gallivan Center will once again play host to a series of totally free shows they call the Twilight Concert Series, and the benefits far outweigh the nonexistent cost. Things kick off with the Roots on July 10, and evenings with Andrew Bird and Josh Ritter, De La Soul and the Cool Kids, Nada Surf and Tim Fite, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Broken Social Scene and the Big Sleep, and a Neko Case/Crooked Fingers two-fer will follow.
All that entertainment, for free? Just remember to breathe.
Thanks to reader Adam for the tip. [MORE...]
