420" NEW ANTHEM BY BOSTON BAND STREIGHT ANGULAR 4/20 PREMIERE
StreightAngular has finished the ultimate 420 anthem!
They've created a song that not only is titled "420" it is exactly 4 minutes and 20
seconds long. It also has a countdown in it that will enable the
listener to start the song 4 minutes and 20 seconds before 4:20 and
celebrate the momentous occasion every day for the rest of their lives.
Singer/songwriter Yoshi Walsh wrote "420" one year ago on 4/20/15
inspired by his medicine of choice. For those who do not know, "420" as
a symbolic term has been a part of the marijuana culture for decades
and was first used as a secret code in high school for kids to
communicate to meet up and smoke up. The birth of 420 dates back to the
early 1970s, when it became the hour of cannabis consumption among high
school students in San Rafael. Even in mellow Marin County, stronghold
of the Grateful Dead, no concessions were made to allow puffing during
school hours.
So a group of stoners calling themselves "the Waldos" —
because they liked to hang out in front of a wall — would pass each
other in the halls, exchanging knowing glances and muttering "420
Louis!" One told the San Francisco Chronicle in 2000, "It was just a
joke, but it came to mean all kinds of things, like, 'Do you have any?'
or 'Do I look stoned?' " They used 420 as a code word for their
activities and the time said activities would take place.
"420"
is the first single off of Streight Angular's upcoming album that goes
by the same name "420" out this 4/20 on Boston indie label Polk Records
this.
Streight
Angular will be having a viewing party on 4/20 at Uncharted in Lowell,
MA (103 Market St) There will be complimentary snacks and beverages
while they last so get there early
to celebrate this momentous occasion. BYOW.
The
video follows a day in the life of a stoner and shows his adventures.
Everything crazy and chill. When he smokes weed life is better. He
encounters touring bands and locals from Boston. With appearances of
band members of bands like "Built to Spill, Dilly Dally, The Barbazons,
Earthquake Party, The Fedavees"Who's Who" in the Boston music scene have
a lot of local bands represented.
