Attention denizens of Brooklyn, NYC -- the Robo Trippers will be making a rare appearance on the live stage at CAMEO on Monday, 9/16. Free of charge, 21+, 8PM and we'll keep it early for the working stiffs. Join us.
Two tunes, old and new, have been selected for your enjoyment on our Soundcloud page.
Supposedly features a former member of the Lilys, which is like
saying “features the owner of an automobile made by Ford” or like saying
nothing, really, once the down-stroked bass, stupid-distorto vocals and
perfect drums open up for an aggro-fied GOGOGOarrogance take on
turn-‘o’-the-century post-post-punk. There’s a slight whiff of fellow
Philly greats Northern Liberties/Erode and Disappear but this is mostly
of its own claustrophobically-unhinged design, in so much as it made me
think about Atari Teenage Riot without sounding at all like Atari
Teenage Riot, and revealed a lot of hidden (by fidelity choices) magic,
yet failed to lose any of the immediate power that hit me
first-exposure. This is noise-rock for those who don’t want to hear
another band fuck up their Cows or Hammerhead-in-the-mirror practice in
public. Though Dog and Pony is no longer an active performing unit, the
fine people at Founding Fathers were right to think this band’s sole
album deserved an official shot at becoming a keeper in collections full
of keepers. Only 300 of these were pressed, but I’d wager that a good
slice of those reading could order a copy right now. Trust me, I love a
crusade more than a crucifying, so get this thing and don’t forget it
when the year-end list bullshit tries to get in your ear later on … if
you are that type.
Time for round two of our winter 2013 season. We here at Founding Fathers Records are proud to announce the release of Adam & Dave's brand new EP - 2X2
Recorded the good ol' fashioned analog way between Big Mama's Warehouse and the legendary Milkboy recording studios, these are some bloozy, boozy, guitar-driven psych-washed burners of the highest order from some of Philadelphia's finest practitioners. Cut straight from the source to Earth's most perfect audio format, the 12" 45RPM.
Adam & Dave’s Bloodline – 2X2 12” 45 RPM
300 Copies, each with fully printed center labels and
hand silk screened covers

First up is Dog and Pony's absolute monster of a long player, Child of God.
It’s a pretty daunting task trying to describe an album
we’ve loved so much for so long in just a few brief sentences.From the gutters of North Philadelphia, we’re
proud to present the now defunct Dog and Pony’s long lost masterpiece, Child of God.Brutally honest, honestly brutal – it's a record that doesn’t worry about blurring the lines that it's already crossed.It’s rock and roll served up just
the way we like it.Give it a spin, and
we’re sure it’ll quickly find its way into your permanent play pile, filed
neatly next to your ‘Sabbath, ‘Flag and Can collection.
