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)

Leave a comment

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.

Date Tuesday, July 6th
Location Parish
Doors 800p
Tickets $10 HERE

When haven’t we been fans of Islands?  Since the split of his old band, we’ve loved everything Nic Diamonds has done, and Islands is no exception.  They’ll be making their way through town, and as things have been slow as of late, you won’t want to miss this opportunity to catch a great band in our fair city.  You’ll also get a chance to watch Steel Phantoms and Active Child, the opening bands, who have also been building a name for themselves.  So why not go check out this great show? Excatly, you have no reason, so we’ll see you there.

Free Album from Spirit Night

Leave a comment

You cannot argue with getting free music in the morning can you?  Well, lucky for you I’ve discovered this killer band from West Virginia named Spirit Night.  They sort of remind me of a lot of the lo-fi efforts going around, but they have a lot of strong melodies that really bring the songs to fruition for the listeners.  Their album is titled What We Will Be, and its chock full of really solid tracks, all worthy of a good listen this Monday morning.  You can get it free HERE, or listen to the following track for a sneak preview of the goods.

FreshMillions @ Beauty Bar (7/3)

Leave a comment

Date Saturday, July 3rd
Location Beauty Bar
Doors 900p
Tickets At the door!

We’ve been hyping up Austin band FreshMillions a lot lately, and deservedly so.  You’ll get a chance to catch the talented act this Saturday night, a night dedicated to glorious dance music.  Legendary DJ Tommie Sunshine will be spinning the headlining spot, and All My Friends are opening up the evening.  You’ll love the local Austin act, and I can admit, though I’m not dancing inclined as of late, Tommie knows how to kick a killer beat on the dance floor.  So why not celebrate your July 4th Eve with one of Austin’s hottest bands, and one the US’ hottest DJs. Do it!

New Tunes from Kathryn Calder

Leave a comment

The ridiculously beautiful Kathryn Calder of New Pornographers is at it again.  She’s just released her second single from her debut album, Are You My Mother, which comes out on August 10th.  It’s a gentle ballad with the focus on piano playing.  Something in her vocal delivery reminds me of a young Jenny Lewis, and you know that can’t be a bad thing by any means.  Make sure to give this plenty of spins today, as its well worth your time.

Stream Wavves New Album: King of the Beach

Leave a comment

This is a just a short note, as people everywhere should be on this already, but if you dig Wavves, you can stream the new album right HERE. Personally, I’m really excited for this record, as he enlisted the old back-up band for Jay Reatard, and since I can’t have Jay anymore (RIP), then perhaps Wavves will be the next big thing. Go stream it. Tell me if you like it.

New Tunes from Jukebox the Ghost

Leave a comment

I”ll admit that I’m a sucker for any ballad that appropriately incorporates a piano into a pop track.  Lucky for me, the new single, “Empire,” from Jukebox the Ghost does just that.  It’s all geared up to give a big push to the rising band as they prepare to release their album Everything Under the Sun on September 7th.  You know it will be nothing chocked full of catchy hooks and great melodies, so take a listen to this one while you’re here.
