For our most recent Toutpartout Sessions episode we invited Crayon Sun! Crayon Sun is Aldo Struyf’s new band. Aldo toured with Queens Of The Stone Age, The Dead Weather, Alice In Chains, Jesus & The Mary Chain, The Mark Lanegan Band … and was the driving force behind Creature With The Atom Brain.
They serve us a mix of voodoo gospel and psychedelic desert blues. Check their stripped down version of ‘The Bender‘, taken from their self titled debut album, out on Waste My Records.
The band is playing at We Are Open in Trix tomorrow and has more shows coming up soon. Check for dates and info here.
ViVii might be your next favorite dream pop band.
The three-piece from Sweden just dropped a new single ‘Love Love Love’. The song was premiered on Clash, check it out here.
‘ViVii took a very basic sketch and built it up into something effervescent, the glistening melodies turning into something highly refined.’

Xixa is new to our European roster. The band will release their second album in June on Glitterhouse and just revealed a new song from their upcoming EP ‘The Code’ (Feb 15th). Listen to the title track here.
Core members Brian Lopez and Gabriel Sullivan are integral part of Giant Sand’s current incarnation. In the past they produced, toured or recorded with the likes of William Sedlmayr, KT Tunstall and Calexico.
But XIXA wanders far and wide, into the psychedelia of Amazon backwaters, the bumping grind of chicha, quirky electronics, loud indie-rock and desert blues.
Check back soon for upcoming shows!
