New Music from Super Melody

Those in New York need to get ready, as Super Melody is set to invade the United States, with the majority of the dates slated in NYC.  The group is made up primarily of James Cecil, formerly of Architecture In Helsinki.  He’s coming to support the release of his record, Destination Unknown (which is not a reference to Rancid lyrics, sadly).  You’ll notice that there’s still an influence of AIH here, just with some of the samples, but the song below will show you a more electronic feel, reminiscent of bands like Hot Chip.  So, even if we’re not all in New York or California, at least we can appreciate a little dance party action.

Rise Against @ Stubbs (7/17)

riseagainstbandsmallFriday night isn’t too promising for music in Austin, so Rise Against at Stubbs may be one of your only options.  Unfortunately the tickets will run you $35 so you better be a pretty big fan to make it out to this one.  However, the lineup gets better with Rancid and Billy Talent (who are in fact both still around) providing the opening entertainment.  Things get started around 8pm.
