New Music from Surf City

You know how much we love Surf City, so much so that we invited the guys to play our infamous SXSW party this past Spring.  During that show they talked to us about releasing their first full-length, and word has finally come out that the band will release said album this November.  The album is called Kudos, and the first single “Crazy Rulers of the World” hints at good things to come in the future.  Give the new track a try, today!

Futurebirds On Hear Ya

Hearya continues to put out some nice sessions on their live video blog this week with a set from folk rock band Futurebirds.  We just missed out on seeing this group when they came to town a week ago so we’re happy to get a taste of what they’re like live.  The live session features four MP3s, a couple videos and even the option to download the whole thing as one big file.  I’ve been enjoying this sweet live version of “Ski Chalet” which you can find below.

Sub Pop kids Happy Birthday are making a stop in town this Friday at United States Art Authority.  Making the show more enticing, recent Hardly Art signee and locals Woven Bones will also be on the stage.  Rounding things out and opening the show up for everybody are Residual Echoes.  Should be a great option to see some good music on the cheap Friday night.

More New Music From The Vaselines

As a guy who is greatly looking forward to the second ever Vaselines release coming out this fall, I’m excited to see that the band is offering up this new track “Sex With an X” for free.  This song comes after we already heard new track “I Hate the 80s” from the group’s upcoming Sex with an X LP.  Fans of the band will be glad to know that the first album of new material in over 20 years will come out on September 14th via Sub Pop.

New Music From Kelley Stoltz

Veteran San Francisco musician Kelley Stoltz is returning on October 12th with an album of new material on Sub Pop Records.  The album, entitled To Dreamers, features material recorded mostly by Kelley himself with the occasional assistance from his live band.  Below you’ll find the first single called “I Don’t Get That” from his upcoming effort.  It’s got a bit of that 60s style British pop to it that I’ve been into recently.
