Back in 2008, Kay Kay And His Weathered Underground released a 7” through Suburban Home Records that featured the singles “Diggin’” and “My Friends All Passed Out.” Since then, those two singles have shown up on the band’s forthcoming effort Introducing…, which is currently available to stream here!

As if the full album stream wasn’t great enough, Kay Kay recently revealed information in regards to a 06/26/11 physical release! To celebrate, the band held a record release show at The Triple Door in Seattle, WA on 06/12/11. While we were not present for the show, Kay Kay’s bandcamp page now has a recording of the entire event! In his opening remarks at the show, frontman Kirk Huffman said that this was “a long time coming,” and we completely agree with his sentiments.

Los Angeles, California’s The Bronx have just announced the last boat trip you’ll ever go on. The punk/rock/hardcore/whatever band will play a 3 hour show aboard the SS Queen of Hearts, which casts off from New York City’s Pier 40 on June 22.  This 21+ booze cruise has a strict capacity of 500, so get a ticket while you can. We suggest leaving any lady-friends at home.

The Bronx’s alter ego (and dead serious) Mariachi El Bronx will be opening for The Flaming Lips in Atlanta on May 19 and 20. Also, they will be opening for the Foo Fighters, along with Rise Against, this fall. Check out their full slate of dates here, and a studio performance via Converse below.
