Watch This Moon Duo Video

unnamed (4)

Skateboard fans get excited because this Moon Duo video for the track, “Animal,” features Richie Jackson, of legendary skateboard fame doing rad tricks on various items all while walking to the beat of this jam. Now, we already brought you this song a little while ago, but in case you missed it, it’s the first single off Moon Duo‘s new album, Shadow Of The Sun, that’s slated to come out on March 3rd. They’ve also announced that they’re embarking on a North American/European tour and while there’s no Austin spot on there, check and see if they’re playing in your neck of the woods.

Moon Duo Return with New Album

moonsAs we continue our look towards 2015, there’s one thing that’s for sure, this Moon Duo LP is going to be a hot commodity.  The song has a brooding tone, though it’s driven by a more forceful approach to songwriting than what we’ve heard from the group before.  Perhaps the only thing holding the track back is its brevity; I felt like there was at least 30 more seconds of rock to go.  This tune will appear on Side A of a 7″ that’s being slid into every copy of Shadow of the Sun, which will be in stores on March 3rd courtesy of Sacred Bones Records.

ACL 2012: Sunday in Pictures

This post is going to be huge with good reason. The artists were very photogenic on a gorgeous day. The lawn held together for the most part despite the rain and spirits were high going into day three with beautiful blue skies and a dry breeze.

Here is the rundown for Sunday pics: Stars, Gary Clark Jr., Polica, Two Door Cinema Club, Die Antwoord, Willis Earl Beal and Crystal Castles. I took plenty of Zef Side shots, have a quick cameo from Moon Duo and got sad because of the closed pit for Crystal Castles that was “in the rider” though none of us photogs knew that. Willis Earl Beal may have been the highlight of my ACL with a small crowd to start that quickly grew as people were pulled in by the emotion and vocal power. Wonderful stuff.
