do you have any sick groupies yet? ;)
I can only speak on my behalf, and I would say the answer is a resounding “no”. Kyle and Jake are both committed men. Gunnar gets mad bitches though. I do, however, have a friend named Koty and he is my best fan.
new song fuckin rules. when is your next show?
many thanks! we don’t have too much lined up right now, but we are playing one of the annual benefit shows that Nonnewaug High School puts on for the Denan Project on March 9th.

*PREMIERE*
The Hiya Dunes // “Definitely Retarded”It’s always fun when musicians that you really dig come together to create something new. We just got a tast of this earlier today on Portals today with the debut single from Gremlins. Now it’s happening again with the The Hiya Dunes. Consisting of Sean Posila (High Pop), Eddie Golden III (The Guru), Alex Goosman, and Jeff Hoyt, The Hiya Dunes play catchy lo-fi surf rock. According to Sean their debut track, “Definitely Retarded” is a “poppy girl anthem” and I can’t really argue. It’s definitely poppy, definitely about a girl, and it’s “Definitely Retarded.”
The track is being released as part of a compilation called Seagreen Records: Singles On Valentine’s Day. It’s a mixtape that has been put together to celebrate the advent of Seagreen Records. Featuring brand new tracks from bands like High Pop, The Guru, Major Bummer, Boy Crush, and others. It’s a gnarly compilation and it’s free starting today on the label’s bandcamp page. The label also has a Tumblr page, so make sure you follow along on there too, because I have a feeling that these guys are going to absolutely kill it in the future.

village is an awesome track. stoked for your lp whenever it comes out.

Video: The Guru - “Indian Day”
Connecticut psychedelic rockers The Guru are back after a brief recording hiatus with a wonderful new single, “Indian Day.” This track (and its accompanying video) immediately sent me right back to this past summer, when I rocked out to their stellar LP Native Sun on a daily basis. It’s not summer anymore, but with the extremely mild winter we’ve been having here in the Northeast, it may as well be. Check this song out and reel some of those blissful vibes back in.
“Indian Day” will be officially released as a single at midnight tonight, as part of the Singles On Valentines Day compilation. This compilation will be the first official release for Seagreen Records, the record label that the members of the Guru started with their friends. I got a chance to interview the founders of Seagreen records back in December, when they were first getting the project off the ground. Check out that interview HERE.
The compilation will also include brand new tracks from the likes of High Pop, Madson, and Jake Shaker, and will be up for download on the Seagreen Records bandcamp page tonight.
As of right now, the full compilation is available already, but only for streaming. Check it out!
