Respected rock label Tee Pee Records and the LA Record will present the second annual New Weird America (NWA) Festival on Saturday, July 2 at the Nomad Gallery (1993 Blake Ave, Los Angeles). Following the success of the 2010 NWA Fest, this year’s installment promises an even “bigger and better celebration of the arts” that will open with a very special group art show titled Twin Infinities at the Nomad on Friday, July 1.

On July 1, all eyes will be focused on the Twin Infinities art show and festival launch at the Nomad. The event will kick off at 6:30 PM and feature original artwork and photography from such well known artists: as Melinda Beck, Ross Farrar (of Ceremony), Tim Kerr, Stephen O’Malley (SUNN O))), etc.), Mike Watt (Iggy and the Stooges, The Minutemen) and many, many more. A “very special musical guest” will also be performing. RSVP via the event’s Facebook event page here.

On July 2, New Weird America will crank up the sound, featuring some of California’s best rock acts. The show will spotlight a diverse array of tuneful talent including Los Angeles atmospheric duo Ides of Gemini (members of Black Math Horseman); Montalvo, CA metal act The Fucking Wrath; Humboldt County psych rockers, Radio Moscow; and LA hard rock quintet, Night Horse along with Dallas trio True Widow and the recently announced addition of Red Sparowes.

An official Facebook event page for New Weird America can be accessed here. Tickets to the fest will be sold for the low price of $10 to enable as many music fans as possible to enjoy the special one-of-a-kind show.

Widely recognized as pioneers of the modern hard (or “stoner”) rock sound, legendary New Jersey hard rock band, The Atomic Bitchwax (also TAB) will release its new album The Local Fuzz on June 21 via Tee Pee Records. The trio’s fifth full length effort delivers an advanced take on its blistering, virtuosic sound via a single, glorious 42-minute song titled “The Local Fuzz” that contains no less than “50 riffs back to back”, perfectly capturing the unit’s vivid execution and ambitious vision.

We just got our grubby little paws on the advance today and we’ll have a review posted soon. Stay tuned.
