The group will make their debut performances at the recently renovated Fox Theater in Oakland on September 18-20. The GDTS TOO mail order starts on Saturday so read here for instructions in you’re interested in checking out this lineup..."

Heavy “Primal Dead” from October 12, 1968 | ARTHUR MAGAZINE - WE FOUND THE OTHERS:

"...It’s a short show by Dead standards — just about 80 minutes — comprised entirely of CRUSHING jams. No folky “Sugar Magnolia” sing-a-long first set, not much noodly Phish bullshit and almost no sign of the gentle rainbow twirly groovin’ bear nonsense. Instead it’s near ambient passages that slowly gather speed and intensity before exploding into massive psychedelic earthquakes of rhythm that leave aftershocks of cosmic guitar lines shimmering through the air. This is the fearsome and messy STEAL YOUR FACE sound that people who compare the Dead to Royal Trux or Comets on Fire are talking about. A Dead show where you can see why Greg Ginn and the Black Flag dudes were into these guys..."

Living with Legends: Hotel Chelsea Blog: Patti Smith Reflects:

"...It's the day the United States dropped an Atomic Bomb on Nagaski. It's the day Hermann Hesse died. The day Jerry died. I have returned to the city. Children are racing up and down my street. We humans keep in mind. That's what we do. Tonight is a full moon. Guess when it sets, I will get me a cup of black coffee, sit on the stoop, and contemplate the bombing of Qana, the miracle of love and Dark Star."

Bill Kreutzmann: Pushing Forward on JamBase:

"Even though the surviving members of the Grateful Dead have officially wrapped up their cross-country tour, drummer/founding member Bill Kreutzmann kept busy on the road, performing with BK3, his band featuring Scott Murawski of Max Creek on guitar, James Hutchinson on bass and Donna the Buffalo's Tara Nevins on vocals (BK3 was originally the Bill Kreutzmann Trio featuring Murawski and bassist Oteil Burbridge). Prior to BK3's set at West Virginia's All Good Festival (read the review here), Kreutzmann randomly wandered into the press tent, catching various writers and photographers entirely off guard as he sat down for an impromptu interview that nobody expected. Kreutzmann has kept a lower profile than Phil Lesh or Bob Weir over the years, but when he spoke about the Grateful Dead one couldn't help but feel as though you were hearing words spoken by a living relic of the counter culture. So, as soon as he got talking, it was clear that the only thing to do was whip out a recorder, start asking questions and take down Kreutzmann's every last word as he went in-depth about The Dead's most recent tour (you can read all about the tour here), his pet political causes, Grateful Dead tribute acts and his own answer to the bumper sticker hypothetical, "What Would Jerry Do?"..."

Nitro-Retro!: A Tribute to The Warlocks:

"The Warlocks were true punks in their own time, scaring the hell out of people when they walked down the street together. Proudly sporting long-as-hell hair, chicken bone necklaces, iron cross pendants, black leather boots, and probably stinking like they hadn't bathed in days. These early recordings represent the first sounds they layed down...It's always amazed me that the 'Garage/Psych' community has never really acknowledged these recordings"
