  • GBV is back, son.
Indie icons Guided by Voices are in the midst of a reunion tour that's taken them to Chicago and Minneapolis and, sigh, nowhere near Kansas City at all. Such is life in our decaying, post-industrial Midwestern city. 

Positive spin: a GBV tribute album is in the works, and there are some pretty rad bands covering the band's songs. 


The project doesn't yet have an official title, but here is an incomplete tracklist that TwentyFourBit has put together with help from No More Fake Labels founder Misty Dawn Briggs, who's curating the compilation. 

The Flaming Lips - "Smothered in Hugs"
Western Civ - "Goldheart Mountaintop Queen Directory" and "My Valuable Hunting Knife"
Cymbals Eat Guitars - "Gleemer"
Sorry About Dresden - "Echos Myron"
Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit - "Everywhere With Helicopter"
Crooked Fingers - "Tractor Rape Chain"
Elf Power - "Man Called Aerodynamics"
I Was Totally Destroying It - "I Am Produced"
The Pneurotics - I Am a Tree"
La Sera (Katy Goodman of Vivian Girls) - "Watch Me Jumpstart"
Kelley Deal with Buffalo Killers - "Scalding Creek"
Blitzen Trapper - "Hot Freaks"
Superdrag - "A Salty Salute"
David Kilgour (The Clean) - "How Loft Am I"
Thurston Moore - "Stabbing A Star,"
James Husband (Of Montreal) - "Buzzards and Dreadful Crows"
Twin Tigers - track unknown

Digital-Only EP

Marie Stella - Little Lines"
Free Electric State - "Weedking"
Mass Solo Revolt - "Gold Star for Robot Boy"
Gregg Yeti - "Quality Of Armor"

There are still some secret special surprises yet to be unveiled, which I am hoping means Paul Westerberg covering "Surgical Focus."
