Chocolate Covered Records presents...

Ty Segall in San Francisco

Aug 12, 2008 at 10:47 PM

This is a great video of Ty Segall performing last weekend at Amnesia. Ty's first vinyl release will be out really fucking soon on CCR... and hopefully before Ty's tour next month with Thee Oh Sees.

Time to Chug-a-lug with the Rantouls

Jul 30, 2008 at 11:47 PM

Hot off the presses, the first release by Sunnyvale, California's only remaining Bubblegum band, the Rantouls. These four songs will get so stuck in your head that you'll be playing Chug-A-Lug over and over and over again. Get ready to buy a new record needle!

And if you haven't been lucky enough to see the Rantouls' matching outfits in person, you should definitely grab a copy of The Psychedelic Freakout DVD. Its got both a live performance and a music video by the Rantouls with performances by other Bay Area favorites.

Traditional Fools LP available!

Jul 6, 2008 at 7:54 PM

It wasn't finished before the Fools' US tour started, but its here now. Wizard Mountain / Make A Mess teamed up to release the Traditional Fools first LP. Hopefully we'll get some at the Chocolate Covered Factory soon, but in the mean time, grab the LP at Wizard Mountain.

Update: We now have the Traditional Fools LP available at the Chocolate Covered Factory.

Bad Ass Show Tonight!

Nov 13, 2007 at 1:00 PM

The Stork Club will be having an ultra-exclusive rock and roll dance party tonight featuring Dreamdate, the Rantouls, Les Hormones, and DJs Dulcinea and the Duke of Windsor.

If you want to get in tonight, all you have to do is say "I love/hate Chocolate Covered Records", show the door guy your ID and give him 5 bucks. You don't even want to how much those fools who don't say the secret phrase will be paying!

And don't use all your energy tonight - there are even more great shows this weekend.

And now, for something important, Mr. Ty Segall will soon be releasing four of his favorite tunes he recorded last summer on an upcoming Chocolate Covered Records 7".

Chug-A-Lug

The Rantouls

Have you ever bought a bubblegum 45, played the A side to hear your newest favorite song, then flipped it over to the B side to hear the worst song ever? The Rantouls broke that bubblegum mold by giving not just one or two great tunes - but four great songs on 7 tiny inches of vinyl! Each track is sweeter and gooier than the one right before.

Come Over Now

Dreamdate

What is the last album you thought was a pop masterpiece? Maybe the Beach Boys' Pet Sounds? Or something by those Four Guys from Liverpool? You can throw all those in the trash right now, 'cause now that Dreamdate's first full length album is out, you'll never listen to those again!
