"60 Watt Kid, swearing their love for krautrock and acid-folk, erupt out of the primal goddess Rock N' Roll, like a dream in which David Lynch produces 'Fear of Music' by the Talking Heads with Buddy Holly's Crickets as studio musicians."
-Four stars, German Rolling Stone Magazine
"The 'Being John Malkovich' of indie"
-Pitchfork review
"Triumphant weirdness"
-Performer magazine
"Kevin, Derek, and now young Dylan are pretty much the most crucial and underrated band in Los Angeles at this point."
-Grant, founder/curator Echo Curio
"60 Watt Kid’s trio of rockers are not noise experimentalists in the Riley sense, or even in the screamo/feedback sense that has become a second language for many bands. But their brightly melancholic yawps into the void share something with Terry Riley’s live aesthetic that few electro-tinged bands can cl.. an insistence upon constructing songs anew each time they’re performed."
-Dan Collins of LA record
"This tune feels like it should be a museum piece as it takes the listener along melodic channels with peaks, troughs, flutters, squiggles, swerves, and automated punctuations through low keys and higher registers that contour an ethereal landscape of monolithic proportions. It has all the taglines of a sculpture or painting that you would find in a museum."
-Absolutepunk.net review of "2012"
My attempts to create an Open at the Mama Buzz Cafe have failed. The will be no open mic at the Mama Buzz cafe. The "Every Second Sunday" open mic has been double booked for the second month in a row. It is clear I'm not suited to be the host of an open mic. Thank you all for your interest and support. My sincerest apologies to all musicians poets that hoped and even planned for this open mic.
Hey friends. Come to our badass Masquerade Party! great music, tons of fun, and free beer & wine (if you tip the bartenders). Saturday OCTOBER 24th @ The Unknown Theater.
"DJ Monkey …soul-stirring, excitingly edgy music…just disturbing (read ‘mind-f**king’) enough to demand attention. There is a whole spice rack of auditory flavors here, served up like fractured poetry on a collection of intensely listenable Hallmark cards from Hell."
