This is fine.
Eccentric folk singer songwriter Devendra Banhart has been a bit quiet in the music world as of late, but he’s about to release another album of new material. His new LP will be called What Will Be and is hitting stores October 27th via Warner Bros. Here’s first glimpse of that new album with “Baby”. Anyone want to offer some first impressions?

It’s been some time since we posted about a White Denim show and we’re excited to see the incredible live band on the bill for Wednesday night at Antones. Hot new artist band Harlem will also be taking part in the night’s event. On the subject, here’s a new track from White Denim called “Wet Sand” that went up a few days ago.

So we’ve just heard news that WOXY, Voodoo Cowboy Entertainment, and Rare Magazine are joining forces to put on an ACL after party featuring Canadian supergroup Broken Social Scene. The event will be taking place at the Seaholm Power Plant on the first night of ACL (10/2). Things will get started at 10pm and the event is totally free! RSVP here. I’m going to dare say that you might want to show up early if you plan on getting in. Stay tuned for information on what they have planned for Saturday night.
It seems like these new live performance blogs are the hot new thing as a new one pops up almost weekly. This new one we just found is called Luxury Wafers and has already featured some solid in-studios by Cursive, These United States, Tiny Vipers, and several others. This one comes from Long Island band As Tall as Lions. Video and MP3s of their performance can be found on the Luxury Wafers website or we’ve got a taste of it below.

This brand new Julian Casablancas track has been tearing up the interwebs over the last few days and I figured I could share it with anyone who hasn’t heard it yet. It’s called “11th Dimension” and will appear on the famous front man’s upcoming solo debut album Phrazes for the Young out October 2oth on RCA. Upon first listening you may cringe at the trendy 80s beat, but give it some time, it grows on you fast.

Don’t forget about our ATH sponsored Prints for Non Profits event tomorrow! Some great bands will be playing and FREE Lone Star will be provided. Yeah yeah, we know UT is playing on Saturday, but I highly doubt any of you can afford to go. Plus, who can pass up free beer? duh. More info can be found on the ‘original post. Things are going down at 6pm.

So go back with me if you will to a time when CDs were at their height of popularity and I was just a wee little lad wet behind the ears. I had just graduated from the 6th grade and was about to move on into the dark and scary world that is middle school.
After the critical and blogger success of their 2008 album We Brave Bee Stings and All San Fran band Thao and The Get Down Stay Down are back with new material for 2009. Their new album will be release on October 13th via Kill Rock Stars and will be named Know Better, Learn Faster. Here’s a first taste of that new album with title track “Know Better Learn Faster”. Your thoughts?

Head out to the Mohawk on Thursday night for some solid country style rockin’ with a show featuring Cracker and old ATH fave Clem Snide. Stick around when the headliners finish up for another show inside by locals Lemurs and Givers. Kick off the weekend right with a night of action packed music.

What, ATH hasn’t posted about Daytrotter in a while?!? Well we gots ta change that! I just couldn’t resist this Superdrag set, especially considering they play their self proclaimed only hit from 1996 “Sucked Out”. Oh it brings back memories of middle school doesn’t it? Check out this song and 3 newer ones on the Daytrotter site.
