Gaytheist recorded “Hold Me…But Not So Tight” in a whirlwind session earlier this year at Interlace Audio with Stealth Beats producer Stephan Hawkes. Don’t let the brevity of their efforts give the impression that the album will sound rushed and half-assed. Rather, it’s a testament to the tight musicianship between front man and guitarist Jason Rivera and his crack rhythm section Nickolis Parks (drums) and Tim Hoff (bass). Gaytheist is as lean and mean as ever on these 12 songs.

See Constant Lovers at Chop Suey on Thursday

Posted on April 24, 2013 by goodtodie

Constant Lovers are set to wreck faces this Thursday at Chop Suey. It’s a really strong bill from start to finish. Lots of new songs to preview!

The Stranger thinks you should go too:

Kithkin, Constant Lovers, Pleasureboaters, Edie Sedgwick

(Chop Suey) I don’t care how hungry you are, there is not a single band on this bill you should miss even a second of. After working up a sweat during Edie Sedgwick’s (of Dischord Records!) dance punk and Pleasureboaters’ raucous set, those Rancho Bravo nachos will be calling your name, and you’ll probably think that you can run down the hill and be back in time for Constant Lovers, but DO NOT RISK IT. Every band on this bill is incredible in different ways, and to miss even a moment would be foolish. Constant Lovers’ show is even more commanding now that they’re armed with Helms Alee’s Ben Verellen on drums, and Kithkin’s tribal percussion party often ends in the entire audience getting onstage and partaking in the music-making. Rancho Bravo is open until midnight. Nachos can wait. MEGAN SELING
