The Locust — reunited and rocking new Tron-meets-Devo insectoid suits.

The Locust, who recently reunited and played their first gig in four years at the Desert Daze Festival, released a typically bizarre video for their track “Recyclable Body Fluids in Human Form.” The band also debuted new Tron-meets-Devo style insectoid costumes and announced plans to release their first new music since 2007’s New Erections album, which was essentially the grindcore punk group’s last flight other than archival releases such as 2010’s The Peel Sessions and a 2012 compilation The Gold Standard Labs. Catch them November 7 when they swarm the Music Box, alongside Silent and the Creepy Creeps

A young Barcelona electro-pop group, High Pijama, found Happy Ron Hill’s decade-old acoustic song “No Angel” and turned it into a futurepop Americana dance track. “This was somewhat surprising to me, as the song was one of the only serious and least danceable songs on my album,” says Hill. “Even more amazing is the theme of the song is about an older person telling his older partner that he isn’t interested in younger women, but High Pijama have turned it into something for younger people to dance to. They’ve done an amazing job, adding drums and remaking the old track into something that sounds entirely new.”

In response to Eve Selis' online post about no longer working together with Marc Intravaia, the guitarist replied “Eve and I remain friends and will always be friends. We did not have a fight or a blowout or anything of that nature. The fact is we just drifted apart musically. It’s been happening for the last couple years and now she is on a much different path than me.” The Kearny High School grad has been writing, recording, and performing with the Selis Band since 1991: their full-length Family Tree was nominated for Best Americana or Country Album at the 2012 San Diego Music Awards. Selis and Intravaia (aka “Twang”) also played together with the collaborative quartet Berkley Hart Selis Twang.

No plans to play these new songs live, they may just live in the recorded world. However, some members of my band Ariel Levine & Mechanical Royalty are considering coming out of hiatus and forming a new three-piece with new music.”
