MIGUEL VIVEIROS: UUHHHHH? I MEAN: UUHHHHH!

2010-07-09T09:16:00.000-07:00

Wait... That sounds like grunting. UUHHHHH. Maybe like that. Like sex? These hip-hop guys... Did you ever listen to old Wu-Tang and notice that all there insults sounded more homoerotic than homophobic? So progressive for their time.

So Miguel Viveiros called me the other day and told ME that his record was coming out on my label. I was all, "oh naw aww." Then Mike was all,"uh Huhhhh." I got a little pissed and was all," UUHHHHH!" But then he was like no,"UUHHHHH." I and was like, "oh."

Miguel (Mike) Viveiros's record UUHHHHH is coming out later this summer on Lakebed Recordings.
Hey Sunbeam by Miguel Viveiros

RACCCCNS AND JOSEPH BRYCE AT ROOZ

2009-11-06T12:54:00.000-08:00

RACCXXNS and Bryce play their tunes as a live score to Jake"late fee" Gillespie's stop-animation drawings! Go to RACCOONS TUMBLR to hear the new stuff from Nick and Stefen.... it makes me want to start buying music again.

JAKE ''LATE FEE'' GILLESPIE

2009-09-18T17:19:00.000-07:00

Jake Gillespie from the Video Room Oakland has been halvin' my stack with late fees. Fuck man. Apparently he's also been stop-animating his beatiful drawings to some of Clovis Heald's new work.... Here's another snippet from A FIELD LIKE HELL.

A FIELD LIKE HELL

2009-09-03T16:13:00.000-07:00

Joseph Bryce (aka Clovis Heald)'s new album a field like hell is coming along swimmingly. A significant departure from the artist's piano textures and soundscapes of Wading for Motorcycles, a field like hell relies on the percussive rhythm of a alternatively tuned classical guitar and multiple vocal tracks. Here's a sneak peak at the haunting new vocal styling of the previously instrumental artist.

MY TIGER LUCK SERVES ME AMERICANOS

2009-08-19T15:24:00.001-07:00

Damon down at Pizzaiolo Oakland serves me coffee and comes to LAKEBED shows, so basically he is the shit. We were talking shop this morning and he was all: "Why haven't you ever bothered to check out my music? I come to all your shows and make those cool banners and stuff front-row-center."
Dang. He had me, and so I went to My Tiger Luck's website. Bullseye. Leonard Cohenesque shit. What a guy... Then I stumble across the young man pictured. Damon's NINE year old genious nephew Esperé. Check out his first recording Lemonade

WHAT NOW KATIE BONES?

2009-08-10T20:32:00.000-07:00

So, J Bryce was like, You know that song on A FIELD LIKE HELL that no one has heard because I haven't recorded it yet?
What song?
The one where I talk about Katie's tragic house burning.
No....
Anyway, she just had massive internal bleeding and had to go to the hospital... her bill was $60,000! Can we put a donate button up for her on LakebedRecordings.com?
Umm.... sure. Can we take a cut?
Umm... what the fuck dude?
By the way, have you checked out Katie's awesome fuckin' art yet?!

THE LOTUS MOONS RECORD IN A 5'x5' WASHROOM

2009-08-10T20:22:00.000-07:00

Whoa! check out this song off THE LOTUS MOONS' record Tangerine.

LANCE HILL : DID YOU SAY GUITAR?

2009-08-06T13:44:00.000-07:00

Lance Hill from Oakland's USA for LSD just began recording Joseph Bryce's full length A FIELD LIKE HELL due out this winter on Lakebed Recordings. When asked if Bryce minded that lance works primarily with his pants undone and no shirt on Bryce responded: "My classical picking has never sounded so psychedelic!" Check back for the somber-psych record rumoured to be on limited split vinyl with Roberto Miguel.

RXCXXNS

2009-08-02T19:42:00.001-07:00

The RXCXXNS decided to finally give us a recording after months of haggling. Although we spent nearly a mint on it, we are giving it to you for free, because well, music is free. It's called L'EGG SALAD

GENTLEMAGENTA

2009-05-21T11:38:00.000-07:00

Shayne was really nervous to play this krusty house in San Diego on his last tour, but I was like, " Fuck you man, you are playing this show... I drove your ass all the way down here and you're fuckin' playin'." Then God himself possesed Shayne's soul and he sang sweeter than honey winning the heart of southern California.
Check out Shayne Keator's new album, GENTLEMAGENTA, available exclusivley through LAKEBEDRECORDINGS here, and listen to the opening track Bird with Firehorns

FREE (!!!) EP FROM CLOVIS HEALD

2009-05-15T17:41:00.000-07:00

Always giving shit away... here's an oldy but goody from our pal clovis.... Interesting to hear where this guy was coming from in 2006. You'll find Lakebed friends Josiah Wolf, Bomarr, and Odd Nosdam on the recordings. Our friends at Florida-punk label, Drugged Conscience hooked us up hosting the FREE EP, and if you like that you can purchase the entire album here.

CLOVIS HEALD / BOMARR SPLIT 7''

2009-05-15T16:41:00.000-07:00

Bomarr (restiform bodies) and Clovis Heald have made available for the first time in digital format their split 7'' from the Anticon label here: Bomarr/ClovisHeald

There were only 6 (!) test pressings ever made and then the release got shelved due to lack of funding. The split is an important documentation of the two artists' musical relationship at the time.

CLOVIS HEALD

2009-05-05T19:35:00.001-07:00

whoa! a video by the Bomarr Monk... music by Clovis Heald
