New Band of the Week 24/10/11 - Tropical Popsicle


I’m writing about act who has named himself ‘Tropical Popsicle’. I’m slightly embarrassed that I’m bigging up someone who has dubbed himself this (seems like a common theme for us SNHsters) but every time I listen to Tim Hines, otherwise know as Mr Tropical Popsicle, I forgive him; because his most excellent tunes genuinely do redeem him.

Glazed with an ethereal haze of guitar fuzz Tim troops out a downright awesome array of dark, grungy summer surf psychedelic rock. Echoes of Crystal Stilts, Dirty Beaches and Beach Fossils ring out jubilantly.

TP happens to be playing in San Diego while I’m there, so will be sure to swing by and check the show out. I suggest you do similar and watch this video. NOW! - SA
