Show Review: Islands @ The Parish (7/6)

2 comments

Many people were over at La Zona Rosa last night grooving to Edward Sharpe, and I get the attraction–there are some good tunes there.  But, for me, it came down to choosing the guy from the Unicorns, not the guy from IMA ROBOT (Edward).  On top of that, I have to admit that its hard to dislike anything Islands do.  Follow the jump for the full review and fancy photos.

New Music From Sharon Van Etten

One comment

I’v really been enjoying this track “Love More” by Sharon Van Etten over the last few days so I wanted to share it with you guys.  The song already appeared on a 7″ single back in February, but will also appear on the songwriters new album Epic.  You can get your hands on the new sophomore album from Sharon on October 5th via Ba Da Bing Records.  You can have a listen to more of her music over on myspace.

Our good friend Mr. David Wingo and his project known as Ola Podrida has a show planned for Thursday night at the Mohawk in Austin.  Fellow Austin upstarts Dana Falconberry and Bosque Brown will be joining the talented songwriter on the inside stage.  I highly recommend checking this guy out if you haven’t done so already.

New Tunes from Two Wounded Birds

Leave a comment

Here’s a band you might dig if you’re into the whole surf-pop array of the music world.  Two Wounded Birds hail from the UK, and they’re currently backing The Drums on tour, but don’t let that mislead you in any way, as their sound isn’t quite like that.  It’s got a real beach feel, but with a silky croon over it, that for some reason reminds me of Twin Peaks.  I don’t know though, that’s just me; you be the judge of this track.

More New Music From Of Montreal

Leave a comment

Immediately after we gave you that sweet new jam by Of Montreal called “Coquet Coquette”, we’ve got another new tune from the band below “Hydra Francis”.  This slick piece of work is yet another reason for you to get amped up about their new album False Priest out September 14th on Polyvinyl.  You gotta know the ATH boys will be first in line to buy that one when it hits stores.  Enjoy.

New Tunes from The Jameses

One comment

Late last week, Captured Tracks, one of our favorite labels, let word slip that they would be releasing the full length album by Florida band The Jameses.  No date on that yet, but you can order the band’s self-released 7″ now, which features the track “The Haunted Rider.”  This jam was kicking around my house all weekend; it’s got a bit of that hollow vocal soundtrack, giving a distant feel, but positioned next to the melody, it provide a sublime listening reaction.  Give it a try folks.

New Tunes from Dent May

Leave a comment

If you read our Best of 09′ albums you might remember that we included Dent May in the Top 25.  Luckily, news has come our way (via GvsB) that there will be new Dent material coming our way soon.  No word on an exact release date, but a 7″ should appear sometime this summer by way of Forest Family Records.  You can’t ever go wrong with new tunes from Dent, no matter what time of year, so enjoy this little number, and we’ll keep you posted on the release date.

Edward Sharpe @ La Zona Rosa (7/6)

Date Tuesday, July 6th
Location La Zona Rosa
Doors 800p
Tickets SOLD OUT

Man, It seems Edward Shapre and the Magnetic Zeros are way more popular than I expected. That’s no surprise really, as their record, From Below, is really something special.  The band will be coming to Austin on Tuesday night to a sold out crowd, though you know there will be scalpers and what not offering tickets.  I mean, its definitely something worth trying to get into, and maybe he’ll play that one song from the commercial.  As a matter of fact, we’ll offer that song up to you today for your listening pleasure.
