Straight out of Athens, GA, BUBBLY MOMMY GUN release you from the restraints of the pop music that you are used to and hold so dear. Hearing the warbly, magical jams from these strange wonders (they share members with another closely related Athens band QUIET HOOVES) may cause you to hold new things dear. To my ears this gang does a great take on Kinks-style pop, only F’d, and very psychedelic in its own way. And that is my absolute favorite kind of music I will have you know. They are actually playing in Boston (TONIGHT!) courtesy of B.O.W. Shows and your very own friends here at the Hassle. SAND ROSES is the new album they are touring for and it’s out on the crucial PARTY PARTY PARTNERS. “Cuckoo Lungs” has a groove that satisfies, and enough synth, guitar, and horns tinkling to make even the hardest nut crack. Love this. I do so. See this gang @ the Midway in JP tonight if you dare to dream and wonder, and like weird pop.
