I’m Digging Sports

sportsI love real sports, but this is referencing Sports, the band, who’ve just signed on with Father Daughter Records to release their Sophomore album.  It’s a short blast of indie rock, bordering on the line between me and pop-punk; it reminds me of what Rilo Kiley might have been had they gone in a completely different direction.  In just over a minute, you’re tapping your feet, trying to sing along, all the while grinning with enjoyment. Their new effort, All of Something will be out on October 30th.  You have a minute? Enjoy your sports!

Show Preview: Thurston Moore @ St. Davids Episcopal Church (2/11)

Date Saturday, Feb 11th
Location St. David’s Episcopal Church
Doors 730 pm
Tickets $17 from Transmission

Make no mistake about it, Saturday has a lot of great shows, but one of the places to be has to be St. David’s Episcopal Church where you can catch one of the legends of indie rock.  Things seem to be on the down low for Sonic Youth, but Thurston has a great catalog all his own, so don’t show just hoping to catch up on the oldies. The last time I caught him doing his solo act, I couldn’t take my eyes off his guitar skills; be sure to get there early, as you’ll want to get as close as you can to this demigod.
