Show Preview: Stephen Malkmus @ the Mohawk (2/22)

Date Wednesday, Feb 22nd
Location Mohawk
Doors 630 pm
Tickets $17 from Frontgate

It’s not like Stephen Malkmus really needs much of an introduction, or really needs to hand out incentives to come see his show at Mohawk on Wednesday.  He’s the main man from Pavement, who has carefully crafted a nice solo career since then.  You should go, period. But, you can also catch two great opening acts on the evening, Nurses and TV Torso. TV Torso are our local boys, banging out solidified indie rock tunes that stick in your head and echo in your ears. Nurses put out Draclua last year, a stunner of an album that really had the band turning heads…so get there to witness then in their glory. Two great opening acts and an indie legend. Need we say more?

New Music From Nurses

I’ve really enjoyed the music created by Portland based outfit Nurses since the first time I heard their track “Caterpillar Playground”.  This new tune called “Trying to Reach You” found below is making me an even bigger fan of the group.  You can get your hands on a new LP entitled Dracula from Nurses on September 20th via Dead Oceans.  Me gusta.

New Music From Nurses

Portland’s Nurses is a band we told you about awhile back that we really didn’t know much about at the time.  What we know now, is that the band recently wrapped recording for the follow up to their 2009 album Apple’s Arc, and we continue to dig their quirky pop tunes.  This new single from the band “Fever Dreams” appears on the band’s upcoming album Dracula due our September 20th on the Dead Oceans label.
