Thee Tsunamis "Saturday Night Sweetheart"

by Thee Tsunamis

supported by

Travis Button Totally reminds me of how I felt the first time I heard early Those Darlins. These ladies kill it -- hope to catch them live one day. Came west!

Stewart Bremner This fierce closer is just one of the many joys of Thee Tsunami's debut album. That primal beat and those delicious wah washes of guitar really hit the spot. Favorite track: Saturday Night Sweetheart.

about

More street-grit than surfside, Thee Tsunamis are a rock’n’roll joyride with hellcat weed queens at the wheel. On their debut full-length Saturday Night Sweetheart, the Midwest-turf trio—Betsy (guitar), Jenna (bass) and Sharlene (drums)—blend girl-group bubblegum with feral punk, hugging every hairpen turn along the way.
Saturday Night Sweetheart, with its jagged harmonies over fuzz-crusted pop hooks, marries the New York Dolls’ gutter-glam attitude with the sound of Brill Building teen-sploitation, to a much bloodier effect. From heart-in-a-blender tales and drag-race party anthems to the title track’s proto-punk pyrotechnics, these 12 tunes are as catchy as they are cutting and together they tell a story as old as time: what the men don’t know, the little girls understand.
Like Thee Tsunamis’ demo release A Goodbad Man Is Hard To Find (2013) and horror-concept EP Delirium and Dark Waters (2014), Saturday Night Sweetheart (May, 2015) was recorded to tape in the basement of Magnetic South and has the signature fidelity of a subterranean rock’n’roll echo-chamber. Plate reverb and tape
delay spin some witchy doo wop atmospherics between slasher guitar riffs and nerve rattling rhythms. Saturday Night Sweetheart is a date you don’t want to break.

For fans of: the Trashwomen, the Shangri Las, the New York Dolls, the Ramones, the Bobbyteens, the Mummies, Girls in the Garage, and John Waters

Magnetic South Bloomington, Indiana

Magnetic South began as a budget recording space and cassette label in the late 00s emphasizing fuzzed and expansive spaces lurking in middle American isolation. The physical space is no longer being held but the resulting documents illustrate a world that remains to reward the explorers. ... more

Sweet, retro rock. Encapsulates the 60s sound perfectly. Festive, chill; acid dancer. Fun to listen to, great to vibe off of, move your body to, or just relax with. Every song on this album is a hit. Dancing album for sure... I saw them live, same kind of fun! ebookreader
