Monday is Radio Day

Two great guests on our show today - coming up at Noon on East Village Radio.

Xray Eyeballs is the brainchild of O.J. San Felipe. Originally from San Francisco, O.J. landed in Brooklyn in 2000. Upon settling, O.J. quickly cemented himself in the underground Brooklyn punk, noise, and indie scene playing in numerous bands including Golden Triangle (Mexican Summer, Hardly Art). While Golden Triangle is known as an all around party band that bashes out garage pop tunes that could easily be found on a Nuggets compilation, O.J. had something else in mind for Xray Eyeballs.
Drawing comparisons to the frantic pop of Jay Reatard and the Urinals, and the moodiness of Velvet Underground and Jesus and Mary Chain, Xray Eyeballs twist it all into their own pop concoction.
Xray Eyeballs will be performing July 17 at the brand new Beach Party series at the Seaport along with Frankie Rose and the Outs.

Kevin Alvir of The Hairs

Catchy, scratchy and just a little bit snarky, The Hairs formed in 2010 following the dissolution of much-loved duo Knight School. Though less than a year old, The Hairs have already gained attention from influential music blogs Stereogum and RCRDLBL.com, and have a digital single out through Holiday Records, the label run by The Drums. Look for The Hairs’ proper debut out on Portland’s fine Magic Marker label this May.

The Hairs perform this coming Sunday at Fulton Stall Market as part of the Sound Bites series.
