I can happily say that since playing a show we presented back in January of this year, The Spooks, not ones to rest on their laurels, have only crafted an even more full, vibrant sound. The Spooks played a show for us at Rubber Gloves with Wild Harem, so impressive was the bands ability to drink like sailors and yet when they were on stage they played like an act well beyond their years. The band is back with this swinging-fuzztoned hit straight out of Link Wray’s dreams, a band absolutely at the top of their brand of sound. Certainly you’ll be looking forward to their future LP on Trig Club–certainly you’ll be looking forward to their show with Fergus & Geronimo and Uptown Bums at Rubber Gloves on August 4th.

We are very proud to premiere the debut record from Denton’s own Final Club; a band clutched in the cradle of punk and shoegaze and swaddled in a cannibis leaf. In the middle of prepping for this record release, the band has been filling out local Denton cut-n-shoots and sold out Dan’s Silverleaf before they even played a note. Two nights later they played a show we presented with The Spooks and Wild Harem–it was a devil of an experience. The band creates a pulsating nu-gaze into DIY-punk-party-ethics with a love for the guitar-driven music of the early 90s. Weekly Tape Deck very happily presents to you Final Club’s debut record, Hot Gaze. Get ‘em one at a time or download in it’s entirety at the bottom.
Final Club – Ruded
Final Club – Butts and Ash
Final Club – A Tragic World
Final Club – Botching The Blondes
Final Club – Runaway Bay
Final Club – Wizard Wells

Today (Thursday) at 4 PM CST I (Ryan) continue our new time slot with a solo run as Nate was out of commission this week. So I took this opportunity to play what I love the best–twee and power pop. Of course thats not all, I sprinkled in the new stuff as always, new cuts from Fiveng, Grouper, Truman Peyote and Active Child brings the drone and dance to this party. As always click HERE to listen to the show.

Tonight at Rubber Gloves in Denton, and it’s free (for most). On the last few stops of their ep release tour, The Spooks have joined with Wild Harem and will meet up with “new dudes” Final Club while here. Just sayin, after selling out their very first show and a few sneak peeks at their upcoming (6 track) ep, Final Club is a great addition to an already burgeoning Denton scene. If you can’t make the show tonight, The Spooks ep can be purchased through email (spooksquares@gmail.com and they’ll link you up to paypal). See you there.
The Spooks – Featherleather
Wild Harem – Talurah Tom Tom

Smoothly skating into our 5th episode of WTD radio (courtesy of the rad fellows at Indie-Verse) I put together a quick list of everything that I’ve been listening to for the past week. New tracks from Wild Harem and Harlem (both out of Austin, I might add), Wetdog, and Americans in France. For good measure I’ve peppered in some classic favorites of mine. I know you’re probably missing the silky smooth linguistics of Ryan, but he will be back next week. I promise. To get thrown into our regular rotation send all tracks to weeklytapedeck@gmail.com and we’ll give it a listen. Click HERE to listen. Hit the jump for mp3s and tracklist.

While the name might call to mind certain short-lived ATL side projects, The Spooks (from PA) may be geographically distant but more relative than not in sound and swagger. For now The Spooks have only finished recording the fermented “Kombucha” and blues-y “Mytime” but are on the heels of an EP set to release in the coming weeks. Also, these guys are going to be touring our area early next year with some of our other recent digs (and Austin natives), Wild Harem.
The Spooks – Kombucha
