FMLY Dinner and a Show
I was so excited when I saw this lineup. Then I realized that I will be driving from LA to Denver for Goldrush Music Festival the 15th. Thus commencing heartbreak. But for those of you in town on the 15th please do yourself a favor and go to this. Highly recommended!
The details:
Thursday, September 15th
Oregon Bike Trails
Foxes in Fiction
Teen Porn
Sneaky Snake
Dinner starts at 6pm / Music is from 7 - 10pm
It’s only $10 for what is always a delicious vegan dinner!
*The kicker is that it’s RSVP only. There are 30 spots so email andy@thefmly.com and you’ll secure your spot. Having been to one of these, I can say they are NOT to be missed. Check out these videos of previous dinners.

The infallible Father/Daughter Records continues it’s streak with the release of a brand new 7” for one of my favorite artists to emerge this year. Zach Yudin is Oregon Bike Trails, and makes some of the most infections bubble-gum pop jams, it’s hard to believe he started in his bedroom. He’s fully equipped with band behind him now, and has been playing shows around LA.
Go listen to the previously unreleased B-side here. And order this bad boy from Father/Daughter here. This will be a great addition to my slowly growing OBT physical collection.
I have been a fan of Oregon Bike Trails from the first time I heard him. I just ordered my copy, you should do the same!
Order : OREGON BIKE TRAILS // HIGH SCHOOL LOVER

I had the pleasure of throwing together this mix for amazing UK based thread company Forty Ounce Clothing. What makes the deal even sweeter is that it’s in conjunction with a collaboration t-shirt by my very own sister Steffaloo.
So please go download the free mixtape HERE (or click the image above).
And buy the rad new tee HERE.

Tracklist ::
Oregon Bike Trails = High School Love
The first album I ever owned was a Beach Boys 25th anniversary 5-cassette box set. I was probably about 9. I listened to those tapes until the magnetism wore to a thin little trickle. My first ever concert was the Beach Boys “Kokomo” tour. Needless to say, no matter what I do, the Beach Boys will be with me forever. So when I find music that puts that reverence on its heartsleeve, I’m sold. Especially the earlier ‘oldies’ stuff like “Help Me Rhonda” and “409”.
Enter Santa Monican songwriter Zach Yudin. This chill brah (the name of his blog, really!) is reviving those early beachy sounds with an authenticity I haven’t heard in a long while. I’m in love.
Pick this and other singles up free, here.
Also, thanks to one of my favorite video aficionados dinoprossi for diggin’ this one up (and putting together the sweet video).
So glad to see Dino put this masterpiece together for this amazing song. I’ve been replaying these tracks for at least a week, and get excited every time they come on. We’ll be seeing/hearing plenty more of Zach Yudin in the future.
