Bass-heavy track from Maserati's 2010 album of the same name. "Pyramid of the Sun" is the first album that the band released after former drummer Jerry Fuchs's unfortunate death in 2009 (when he fell down an elevator shaft trying to escape from a broken elevator).

No Joy-Heedless

The Phoenix will have three great bands performing Sunday night competing with the Superbowl but the team to win it all that night might not be Green Bay or Pittsburg but Montreal. Be there early and catch this up and coming band that may just steal the show. Their album Ghost Blonde (out now on Mexican Summer) is a mix of Sonic Youth versus the Raveonettes which is no surprise given that Sune Rose Wagner of the Raveonettes has mixed the album.

(No Joy open up for Wavves and Best Coast at the Phoenix in Toronto Canada on Sunday February 6th at the Phoenix Concert Theatre)
