August Singles and Previews: Vibeke Saugestad Band, Marshall Crenshaw, Timmy Sean, The Wellingtons, Vegas With Randolph, The Photocopies


And after the heat waves, August has arrived. Norwegian power pop princess Vibeke Saugestad (Weld, The Yum Yums) is a multi-talented musician and she’s got a new EP coming up soon. This video is a teaser, and I can’t wait. Next, Marshall Crenshaw presents ‘From The Hellhole’ an artisanal selection of tunes recorded in his home studio. It sounds so good, and with the passing of Ozzy Osbourne, Timmy Sean has produced a tribute to the late Heavy Metal pioneer. I’m especially excited for the return of one of my favorite Aussie bands, The Wellingtons. “Always Gonna Be That Girl” proves the band is in fine form with this great hook-filled gem. Don’t forget Vegas With Randolph, as they have a career “best-of” collection coming up, and we hear a deep cut “New Leaf.” Finally, I’ve got a new freebie for you from The Photocopies, check out the jangling gem “Average Schmuck.” You would be quiet the schmuck to not get this EP. This is your last month to enjoy summer, so go outside!
