Spaceships In-Store Tonight @ 7PM!

Spaceships are making another galactic stopover at our loft tonight at 7pm, and it sure as hell won't suck poop.

Jessie Waite and Kevin LaRose began their journey after being kicked out of their college dorm freshman year. After some nomadic travels, they landed in Echo Park to pick up their instruments and start a band. They released their debut self-titled EP in 2012, a self-titled 7" later that same year, and - about 4 days ago - their first LP Cool Breeze Over the Mountains. Their distored-lo-fi-pop-garage-punk-and-the-kitchen-sink sound is freakin' sick, receiving accolades from the likes of LA BuzzBands, Spin, Amoeba, and here at OV as well.

Don't believe us? Well, check out their wacky music video for "Ghost" off Cool Breeze Over the Mountains, and get down to OV tonight at 7pm to experience them yourself!

TONIGHT: Back to Back In-store w/ Ugly Winner (6pm) & Spaceships (7pm) !!

You can always count on Origami Vinyl in-stores to be free and awesome, but tonight we're giving you all you could ever want with back-to-back in-stores with Ugly Winner at 6pm then Spaceships at 7 pm!!

San Jose-based Ugly Winner released their second full-length, Inside Your Wave, on July 21. You'd never guess it was recorded at home because it's punk that sounds polished clean without compromising the band's rough energy. Experiencing these dudes live is a must!

Theee party doesn't stop there - at 7 pm Spaceships plays in the loft as we celebrate the release of their 7"! While Jessie Waite and Kevin LaRose may "write songs about life, mountains, and also other things like death and working," they aren't your run-of-the-mill songs. Spaceships brings a distorted lo-fi sweetness to these common things with a bedroom-garage style with deeper emotions cleverly weaved in.

Don't be fashionably late for your double date with Ugly Winner and Spaceships tonight, the fun starts at 6 pm! And in true fairy tale fashion, this blog post is complete with a happy ending - "Fret One (Grow Old)" by Ugly Winner AND "inTheSun" by Spaceships.
