After nearly two years since their last album The Pariah, the Parrot, the Delusion, Sacto CA rock-outfit dredg have set Chuckles & Mr. Squeezy as the title of their 5th studio album, along with the release date of May 5th via Superball Music (And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead, Oceansize). Subsequently, the band also released the cover art for Mr. Squeezy which can be seen above.

Instead of the professional set lists and the pros and cons that we usually give in a review, watching Dredg perform is an experience, and therefore we’ve decided to break free from the usual structure. For their last show in their long tour, we sent someone to the El Rey in Los Angeles who could enjoy the show the most, a fan who has been with the band since the beginning, Erin Rivera.
Here is what she had to say about the show…

Well… if you’re not able to make it out to Coachella, here are a few good shows for you to check out…
- Crooked Crow | Friday, April 17 | 9:00 pm | 21 + | Arlene’s Grocery, New York, NY - Map | The D.C.-based alt-rock band, who positions their sound alongside Tonic and Vertical Horizon, will join a line-up including Kasper Kaae, NinetyFive, and Joe and the Coats, among others. For more information, call (212) 358-1633.
- Abe Vigoda | Saturday, April 18 | 8:30 pm | $10 | 21+ | Spaceland, Los Angeles, CA – Map | Proof in that there is a relatable message not far beneath the surface of heavy guitars, drums, and mostly melody-less singing (we dig the tune “Gallop”), the Los Angeles-based band will be sharing the evening’s bill with The Intelligence and The Drones. Click here for tickets.
- Dredg | Sunday, April 19 | 7:00 pm | $22.50 – $25 | Highline Ballroom, New York, NY -Map | Holy elaborate artwork, Batman. It goes without saying how appreciated it is when a stunning visual is not merely compensation for what might lack audibly. With that said, Dredg’s sound is as beautiful as the artwork they incorporate; feel free to have a look/listen here. Click here for tickets.
- Squirrel Nut Zippers | Sunday, April 19 | 8:00 pm | $24 | The Independent, San Francisco, CA – Map | Omigod, you guys. Does anyone remember “Prince Nez” from back in the day? Being drawn-in by the ’20s-’30s era style was unavoidable. Please don’t say I was the only eight-year-old who made my parents worry about my mental health by singing it at the top of my lungs in the back of the family minivan. Click here for tickets.
