Play First Annual Cassette Store Day This Saturday at Radio-Active Records in Miami!
Stream “No Pizza No Peace” exclusively @ Noisey.com!
“On ‘Ulcer on My Skull’, a track off the forthcoming EP, No Pizza ,No Peace, we are reminded of what Lil’ Daggers do best, re-inventing and improving upon the sounds of their forebears. We’re met immediately with sprawling, guitar, ghoulish Farfisa organ, and a throbbing rhythm section. Add Johnny Saraiva’s reverb-laden, distant vocals and you’ll find yourself quickly enveloped in the song.” – MTVu
In support of their upcoming new cassette + digital EP “No Pizza No Peace” out September 10th onBeyond Beyond is Beyond, Miami psych-rock 5-piece Lil Daggers have premiered their new release exclusively at Noisey.com.
In addition, the band is also announcing their upcoming performance at the first annual Cassette Store Day, taking place this Saturday, September 7th at Radio-Active Records in Miami (full details below).
About Lil Daggers:
LIL DAGGERS was originally conceived as a home recording project involving close friends in the summer of 2008. After only a few short years, this Miami, FL 5-piece has built itself in to a strong collective with a knack for pumping out psych-rock jams that are equal parts powerful, succinct and sprawling. NYLON Magazine said of Lil Daggers, “[We’ve] become addicted to their brand of ’60s tinged, drawling garage rock.” So have lots of others…that is why Lil Daggers have stayed so busy since their inception.
Drawing from their mutual love for early Rock & Roll, Doo-Wop, R&B, Soul, and Punk Rock music, Lil Daggers’ debut, the “Stragglers” EP, was released as a limited edition tour only 10″ on the heels of their showcase at 2009’s SXSW Festival — the record sold out within a few weeks. The Daggers (as their friends call them) have made a habit of being out on the road — while also remaining very active in the studio, releasing three 7″ records (2010’s Split with Satan’s Youth Ministers, their Livid Records “King Corpse” EP and the ultra-limited “Slave Exchange” 7″ released on Discosoma Records as part of Record Store Day 2011).
In April 2011, limited|fanfare records released Lil Daggers’ debut Self-Titled LP produced by Ryan Haft (Capsule, Torche). Being based in a place where sun, sand and tourists are the norm, Lil Daggersoffered a distinctly alternative view of the city in which they live and love, Miami. Taking a trip through the album’s 11 tracks you’ll encouter reverb-drenched vocals, classic fuzz tones, sweeping organ and sonic landscapes that make the album much more than your typical garage band knocking out 2 minute songs.
Supported by dates with Swans and more recently The Growlers and Royal Baths, the band reentered Haft’s “The Dungeon” recording studio to record No Pizza No Peace for new label Beyond Beyond is Beyond. Says Daggers’ guitarist Jacob Israel of the signing, “We felt like we wanted to really hone in our style and sound with our new members and wrote an albums worth of material before we started playing out again. We kept writing and started playing again and linked up with the great people from Beyond Beyond is Beyond, now releasing the No Pizza No Peace EP.”
