new music: holy ghost party

Convulsions. Hysterics. "Getting drunk in the Holy Spirit!" Such are the horrors of the "Holy Ghost party," a frightening new trend among fundamentalist teens. Seriously, this shit is fucking weird.


To counter this new cosmic threat, the stars aligned and brought forth an elemental force of weirdness in the form of Baltimore's own version of a Holy Ghost Party. I caught these dudes this past weekend at Acrobatics Everyday and was totally blown away by the tripped-out tropical/prog/psych-art-pop parade these two dudes were leading through the Cross-Cultural Center. Singer Dave's sick wig was apparently matched only by his generosity, and he hooked me up with the proverbial Business (a CD-R with their recent Prog Parents tape and newer material that they're currently shopping around).

video: stay cool forever live @ UCI

So Stay Cool Forever brought the mad jams to Acrobatics Everyday, as I'd expected. The chiller Christina was cool enough to tape it for anybody who wasn't able to catch the rainbow-tinted tornado that tore through UCI's storied Social Science Trailer 103 last Saturday. Check out "Zooey Zone" and "20 Pack'd," two tracks that've been conquering my bedroom in various forms for a year or so, and that'll both be appearing on their upcoming self-released album.





Head over to the homegirl's YouTube channel to check out the rest of the set and get a sneak preview of some more new jamz. Look for the full-length out sometime in the next couple months on their own Wiley's Own imprint.
