I love your latest record Kingdom Technology. In my opinion, it’s a primal garage scream of electronica, erotica, and neurotic impulse. What impact did you seek with the compositions and accompanying album artwork? Our friends Chris Nelms and Jason Matherly did the artwork, and aside from thinking they’re wildly talented we’re big fans of each… Continue reading Tunabunny at Fear and Loathing in Long Beach

Hobbes Fanclub at Fear and Loathing in Long Beach
The spaces in between have a duplicity, they can surge momentum or deliver dream crushing confusion. When people talk about doing something new, changing their lives, or even their wardrobe, a sickening doubt always hangs in the air. Is it worth risking everything you’ve ever known and distrusted to give into the lustful motion of… Continue reading Hobbes Fanclub at Fear and Loathing in Long Beach
Eureka California at Fear and Loathing in Long Beach
Athens, Georgia’s Eureka California have been active since 2007, with singer/songwriter Jake Ward remaining the only static member since their formation. On 2014’s Crunch (HHBTM Records), Ward bares his proclivity for higher knowledge once again, stating in the album’s opening track Edith (One Day You’ll Live In A Bunker) that “I’m a deep thinker, and… Continue reading Eureka California at Fear and Loathing in Long Beach
Close Lobsters at Fear and Loathing in Long Beach
I was pretty stoked when I placed the new single by Close Lobsters on my turntable. Two songs of Love Spit Love and early Alarm catchiness with a brooding intensity well worth repeated listening. It conjured a memory of my awkward junior high days back in the late 80s and the cool mix tapes I… Continue reading Close Lobsters at Fear and Loathing in Long Beach
Bastards of Fate at Fear and Loathing in Long Beach
A thin line exists between nightmares and memories in the swamp of interpretation. If you can picture the hangouts that you loved as a teenager and the bars that solidified your psyche in your 20s, stand back, and absorb all of it in. Was it that good or was it that bad. Now envision a… Continue reading Bastards of Fate at Fear and Loathing in Long Beach
Cosines at Fear and Loathing in Long Beach
Missed opportunity, waiting in line, and life brutally speeding by while you lie awake disheveled in the middle of the night. Minutes and hours lost to minutia. I don’t know what to say. What will she say? I just can’t speak the language and I don’t know the “code”. The fevered feelings of frustration and… Continue reading Cosines at Fear and Loathing in Long Beach
Luxembourg Signal at Fear and Loathing in Long Beach
My head is usually swarming with too many disconnected thoughts towards the end of the day. Where am I really going? What am I really doing? I usually have no idea most of the time. When the final curtain comes down on the sun, I usually retreat to my rooftop, take one or two of… Continue reading Luxembourg Signal at Fear and Loathing in Long Beach
Muuy Biien at Fear and Loathing in Long Beach
“Nobody hangs up on me. We’re through! Oh…uh, and one more thing. I’ve been cheating on you!” Those words ring true when you’re living in denial and enjoying the short lived euphoria of a funhouse reality. I never know when the party starts or when the party ends. Confusion is bliss sometimes. Muuy biien annihilates… Continue reading Muuy Biien at Fear and Loathing in Long Beach
