A White Denim show has just been added to the bill at Club Deville this Wednesday (10/22).  The Austin boys will be headlining with Dayton garage rock outfit Heartless Bastards opening things up.  Tickets for the show are only $9 and I suggest you buy them now before this thing sells out.  The show is in support of the band’s debut US LP Exposion which you can buy/download today before the November 3rd vinyl release date.  You can also head elswhere on our swanky site to preview the outstanding track “Sitting” from the new album.

Ham1

I read a little blurb about this band, Ham1, on MOKB and thought we’d give them a little love as well.  The band hails from Athens, GA and plans to release their third LP, The Underground Stream, sometime this fall.  If you aren’t feeeling to spendy, you can downloaded a free copy of this album on the band’s website!
