Culture Shock Interview: Ty Segall
On a gloomy Friday afternoon, my day was brightened with a short, but informative interview with Ty Segall. The 23 year old residing in San Fransisco is one of the many musicians who will be playing at Culture Shock. His newest album Melted has been given great reviews from publications such as Pitchfork and SPIN...
Culture Shock Artist: The War On Drugs
INFO Philedelphia’s The War on Drugs reside at the blurred edges of American music: overexposing studio limitations, piling tape upon tape to maximum density, and then — with each song — they pull off the scaffolding to reveal what sticks, keeping only what’s absolutely necessary and dig into what sounds like the best kind of...
Culture Shock Artist: Beach Fossils
INFO The jangly, self recorded ramblings of Brooklyn’s Dustin Payseur, Beach Fossils offers hauntingly catchy tunes that blend the energy of an impulsive road trip with the melodious wandering of a lucid dream. Sun drenched riffs, kaleidoscopic rhythms and hazy lyrics saturate Beach Fossils’ first release, the album’s carefree vibe perfectly summed up through song...
Culture Shock Artist: Sleeping Bag
INFO Established in Bloomington, Dave Segedy started the band Sleeping Bag by relying on pop instinct, constant writing and recording. Along with fellow members Lewis Rogers and David J. Woodruff, the band plays 90′s alternative rock influenced by bands such as The Rentals and Built to Spill. In November 2010, they released a split 7″ on...
Culture Shock Artist: Gardendale & Berkley
INFO Bloomington’s Gardendale & Berkley creates songs with a theatrical flare that sound as if “Regina Spektor listened to a lot of Neutral Milk Hotel and then began to write.” Founded in 2008 by Indiana University playwriting student Loren Gurman, the band soon released ‘The White’s The Fire EP’, and the album ‘Charlie Potential’ in...

Culture Shock Artist: Ty Segall
INFO San Francisco psych wunderkind Ty Segall continues a tireless musical assault on ears and minds with his third album, Melted. Segall says it sounds like “cherry cola, Sno-Cones and taffy.” Over the past two years he’s released records more often than most people do laundry, but somehow there is still a heap of anticipation...
Culture Shock Artist: Terror Pigeon Dance Revolt
INFO Founded in late 2007 as means for one man to yell about his romantic mishaps, The Terror Pigeon Dance Revolt! has blossomed into a real juggernaut of epic dance floor revelation. What do they sound like? It’s sorta dance-soul music, like synthed out Otis Redding covers on fast forward. Dance music with too many...
Culture Shock Artists: Waxeater
INFO Fast, loud, spazzy, and fun are all words which deserve to be included in any description of Bloomington’s own Waxeater. With heavy melodious guitar work and lyrics demanding to know “are those f****** beers ice cold yet!?”, Waxeater are a good time with an aggressive, unique, and complex facade. MySpace
