Creepoid

Creepoid’s Horse Heaven Reissue Available Today!

If you missed out on Creepoid’s Horse Heaven when it was released last year via Ian Records, then you now have a second chance to improve on your music collection once again because the band just dropped the reissue of their full-length record today on white vinyl via No Idea Records. You’ll also be treated to four bonus tracks from their out-of-print debut 7” EP Yellow Life Giver. (You can read our reviews of the LP and EP from when they originally came out, and were both chosen as The Deli Philly’s Album of the Month for February 2011 and June 2010.) The reissue of Horse Heaven is available for purchase HERE.

Photo Recap: Creepoid at The Westmoreland

Creepoid performed an extra cozy set at The Westmoreland studio in Kensington (which is home to The Asteroid #4 crew) this past Saturday night. It was complete with free booze, fresh Pennsylvania farm cheese, and a close-knit community of supporters all in favor of unwinding and relaxing as they hypnotically swayed in front of the live stream camera during the band’s performance.

The warehouse’s orangey light was soon overpowered by psychedelic imagery projected over the group’s equipment; the white-bricked walls were illuminated with splatters of purple, green, blues and yellows. Creepoid presented The Westmoreland with an eight-song/roughly 35-minute set covering ground from Horse Heaven and Yellow Life Giver as well as “Old Tree” from their Shaking Through session and unreleased songs like “Wallpaper,” “Golden String” and “Gout,” which will appear on a downloadable album in the near future. You can take a look at the setlist below as well as our photos from the evening HERE.

Creepoid Setlist:

“Intro”

“Wallpaper”

“Rotten Tooth”

“Hollow Doubt”

“Golden String”

“Dream Out”

CREEPOID

Lost Lander

After placing third last year in our poll on the strength of their impressive debut EP Yellow Life Giver and buzzworthy live performances, it might not have been hard to predict for some that the grunge-y psych folk four-piece Creepoid would be found at the top of our list. Especially after they kicked off 2011 with the much-loved full-length Horse Heaven, were handpicked by R5’s Sean Agnew to be recorded and filmed in their own episode of Weathervane Music & WXPN’s “Shaking Through,” and featured on NPR’s “World Café: Next” as well as numerous other memorable moments throughout the year.

WORK DRUGS

Prolific smooth-fi/sedative-wave outfit Work Drugs has been captivating the interweb with their seductive sounds and dreamy videos right out of the gate, which has led to the duo of Benjamin Louisiana and Thomas Crystal needing to put a live band together after receiving an invitation to hit the road with Two Door Cinema Club in their infancy. Having only been around a little more than a year, you can expect to hear more from Work Drugs in 2012 as they continue their mission of “dancing, boating, yachting, sexting and living.

PURLING HISS

And we can’t forget about the badass monster jams of noisy psychedelic garage rockers Purling Hiss, who placed third in this year’s competition. Mike Polizze, Kiel Everett and Mike Sneeringer continue to impress audiences the old fashion way - by bringing the heat every night. Their fearless, reckless abandon on stage is a good reason why the Hiss has been signed by such well-respected indie labels and booked to tour with many stellar acts. They are currently on the road right now with hometown faves Dr. Dog. (Purling Hiss Photo by Tim Bugbee).
