SXSW Interviews: Secret Cities

February 28, 2011 RayRay One comment

Keeping up with some of our previews for the upcoming crazy SXSW festival, today we’ll focus on up and coming band Secret Cities. We fell in love with these guys last year when they released their debut LP Pink Graffiti and have been following them ever since. Lucky for us, band member Charlie Gokey was kind enough to answer some questions about his band and their upcoming sophomore effort. Follow the jump for his responses.

New Tunes from Silver Shampoo

February 28, 2011 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

There’s a sweet new label quietly kicking out some really solid jams this year, and we’ll be bringing you a bit of the tunes from the label this week. For now, we’ll call the label Krazy Punx, and the first gem I’ve grabbed onto comes from Silver Shampoo, a product of Paul Museums. The newest album is called Higher and Higher, and its sort of all over the place, but in the most wonderful sort of way. You get a bit of garage, but then the next track you’ve got this catchy little bop pushing you along. It’s just a whole lot of fun, and the kind of thing we can all dig as the weather gets sunny. Try this out for size.

New Music From Man/Miracle

I’ve been really digging this new tune “Don’t Waste It” from Oakland based outfit Man/Miracle. The track is set to appear on an upcoming single from the band due out tomorrow on Third Culture Records. Lucky for you and me, the band is coming into town next week for SXSW as well. Stay tuned for news on when you might get the chance to see them live.

New Track from 1,2,3

February 28, 2011 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

As of right now, the world probably doesn’t know too much about the Pittsburgh duo, 1,2,3, but that’s soon to change, especially with the band signing to Frenchkiss. While the release date for the band’s debut record is still a bit tentative, the Internet has been given this new track, which is expected to be one of the featured tracks from said debut. There’s definitely a nice little groove that moves through this song, and with a full-band in the live setting, you can expect this to group to win everyone over, especially when they make their way to Austin, Tx for SXSW. Give a listen.
