Another great review of the new deluxe edition of Emergency Third Rail Power Trip in the latest issue of The Big Takeover!
Rain Parade is deeply saddened to learn of our dear friend's illness. We love Greg, and Thom, and urge you all to consider donating: www.gofundme.com/f/support-gr...
Our hearts ache for Greg and his loved ones, and we wish him the very best and send him healing vibes. You got this, brother!!
Psychedelic Psunday, anyone?

What’s your favorite memory of seeing Rain Parade live?
Delighted to discover that the catalog of legendary Paisley Underground retro-psych indie pop band @rainparadeofficial.bsky.social is (mostly) back in print, both on Bandcamp and streaming on Spotify. Go crazy!
2000 Great Songs #1027: No Easy Way Down. @rainparadeofficial.bsky.social infuse their jangly retro-pop-psychedelia with an extra dose of trippy exploration, a headphone-friendly lysergic jam.
Happy birthday Matt! ✨

This live recording captures the band's signature neo-psychedelic sound during their influential years in the Paisley Underground scene. Previously available only as a limited CD during their June 2024 European tour, it's now accessible digitally for the first time.
Now available on your streaming platform of choice: Rain Parade – Live in Japan at Tsubaki House.
Experience the raw energy of Rain Parade's December 13, 1984 performance at Tokyo's Tsubaki House.
A new playlist, Ear Candy from the Clubhouse 1985 (part two), is now available on Spotify.
Let’s keep finding out what Rain Parade were listening to when Crashing Dream first came out, shall we?

“With the Robacks and guitarist Matt Piucci all contributing vocals and songwriting, Rain Parade seemed to answer the question, ‘What would it sound like if the circa-’66 Byrds and Beatles were transported to the early ‘80s Sunset Strip?’” - Bandcamp Daily
Happy birthday @dereksee.bsky.social! 🎈
Happy 70th birthday Michael Steele (Bangles, Runaways). Complicated gurl. Read our classic feature on the Paisley Underground, featuring @thebangles.bsky.social, @dreamsyndicate.bsky.social, @rainparadeofficial.bsky.social, Three O’Clock and more: magnetmagazine.com/2001/05/18/o...
Next Saturday we’re joining forces with the fab Triptides to bring some serious psychedelic grooves to the City of Angels. Hope to see you at Zebulon!
Retro-audition reveals LA’s great Rain Parade as clearly proto-shoegaze:

“Dreamy soundscapes and intricate arrangements are now signatures of many current acts, tracing roots back to Rain Parade’s pioneering style”

Truly a great album. And the reissue is extremely well done. Highly recommended.
Massive thanks to Vinyl Fetish Club for including Emergency Third Rail Power Trip in their excellent 100 Albums That Matter list!

#throwbackthursday: Rain Parade lands in Liverpool!
‘Mystic Green’ is the b-side of new digital single ‘Sad Eyes Kill’ (now available wherever you like to stream music). The song is a paean to our return to the old world, the color of our past and a nod to our ancestors who are buried there. Flowers will spring from every grave!
