AUDIO: Tobacco’s “Father Sister Berzerker”

Posted on May 1, 2014 by John Book

You already heard the Tonacco news already, right? Ultima II Massage (Ghostly International), 13th day of May and blah blah blah, you’re staying on my site hoping to hear a new track and you’re getting antsy over the new album already and YOU WANT TO HAVE IT NOW, GUNFUNNIT! You’ll have to wait for eleven or so days but you can hear its new single that will make your body mingle like you got the fever for the flavor of a Pringle, just like Kwame Holland once said in the late 80’s. “Father Sister Berzerker” may sound spiritual but it’s not. It coudl sound perverted if you wish, but don’t wish that at all. Get to it. Listen to it, god damnit.

Shows? He has a few:
May 2-4… Austin, TX (Austin Psych Fest)
May 6… Baton Rouge, LA (Spanish Moon)
May 7… Birmingham, AL (Bottletree)
May 8… Atlanta, GA (The Earl)
May 9… Durham, NC (Motorco Music Hall)
May 10… Washington DC (U Street Music Hall)

VIDEO: Tobacco’s “Streaker”

Posted on April 24, 2014 by John Book

TOBACCO “Streaker” from Eric Wareheim on Vimeo.

Extremely NSFW. Can something be “extremely NSFW” after telling people that it’s NSFW? It’s a bit like talking about a movie that’s rated XXX, but then saying it’s XXXX or XXXXX. Let’s get it out of the way: Tobacco’s “Streaker” is a little bit on the nasty side, maybe even on the crusty side, but you are the visionary. See it for yourself and test your limits. Director Eric Wareheim is warped, so you can only imagine what he did with this song, taken from Ultima II Massage (Ghostly International), due out on May 13th. Now massage your thoughts.

Better yet, massage your thoughts within Tobacco’s presence:
April 28… Cleveland, OH (Grog Shop)
April 29… Louisville, KY (Zanzabar)
April 30… Nashville, TN (Mercy Lounge)
May 2-4… Austin, TX (Austin Psych Fest)
May 6… Baton Rouge, LA (Spanish Moon)
May 7… Birmingham, AL (Bottletree)
May 8… Atlanta, GA (The Earl)
May 9… Durham, NC (Motorco Music Hall)
May 10… Washington DC (U Street Music Hall)

Ultima II Massage can pre-ordered here and even there, or be nice and pre-order it below via Amazon.

SOME STUFFS: Tobacco to go on tour, passes a song to fans

In his own unique way, Tobacco can name his songs anything he wants. Take for instance this song from his forthcoming album due on May 13th called Ultima II Massage (Ghostly). He’s called this “Eruption (Gonna Get My Hair Cut At The End Of The Summer)”, and oddly enough the Soundcloud page this is featured on calls this NSFW. I was not aware that merely listening to something that may be deemed offensive is going to be heard by anyone else but you, as if you’re blasting this in your cubicle. In case you are in a public facility, you may want to plug in your headphones. Maybe the music itself is meant to be offensive, so to be safe, plug in like you were Eddie Harris.

You may also want to plug yourself in at Tobacco’s following gigs:
April 12… Morgantown, WV 123 Pleasant Street) *
April 28… Cleveland, OH Grog Shop)
April 29… Louisville, KY Zanzabar)
April 30… Nashville, TN Mercy Lounge)
May 2… 05/04 Austin, TX Austin Psych Fest)
May 6… Baton Rouge, LA Spanish Moon)
May 7… Birmingham, AL Bottletree)
May 8… Atlanta, GA The Earl)
May 9… Durham, NC Motorco Music Hall)
May 10… Washington DC U Street Music Hall)

AUDIO: Junip’s “Your Life Your Call (Tobacco Remix)

Posted on May 8, 2013 by John Book

Sweden’s Junip are a three-piece group who just released a brand new album (self-titled) a few weeks ago. To compliment the new music, Tobacco (he of Black Moth Super Rainbow fame) has created a remix of one of their songs, “Your Life Your Call”. Didn’t think these two entities would ever cross musical paths? Think again, then listen. Then listen again.
