New Tunes from Lightspeed Champion (sort of)

June 30, 2009 nathan.lankford One comment

Devonte Hynes is the former Test Icicle who has now gone on to fame of his own accord with Lightspeed Champion, and he now has some new tunes for us to listen to whilst he puts the finishing touches on his new LP. But, he has opted to release this piece of tunes under the Blood Orange moniker, which is probably due to the fact that it doesn’t sound quite like his other works, but definitely wears the influence of his new home in Brooklyn. Enjoy this track from Blood Orange (not Lightspeed Champion).

New Tunes from Cold Cave

June 30, 2009 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Philly group Cold Cave are releasing their latest LP, Love Comes Close, on Heartworm. Since it just rained here in Austin, we figured you need some dark synth-pop to get you moving through the rest of the day, which is why we bring you “Life Magazine.” There’s nothing like the electronic pulse of a song such as this to get you going.

Nylon Summer Music Tour @ Antone’s (7/1)

June 30, 2009 RayRay Leave a comment

It’s finally July and what better way to celebrate summer with a mini-festival being put on by Nylon Magazine at Antone’s on Wednesday night. We call it a mini-festival because the lineup for the late afternoon/nighttime show features 4 incredible acts that should tickle your fancy. The lineup includes showman Patrick Wolf headlining, Living Things, Plastiscines, and long time ATH fave Jaguar Love. Tickets for this big show are only $15 so we suggest you make plans to be there for this extremely cheap show. Doors are at 6pm and first act starts at 7pm. If you don’t like the idea of being at Antone’s for so long, get there early, get stamped, and come and go as you please.

From The Closet: Mineral

June 25, 2009 RayRay One comment

I’ve been feeling really nostalgic lately about my Emo days in high school and college so I thought the hottest Austin emo band Mineral would be a solid choice for our From the Closet. Mineral were only around for about 4 years and only put out two full LPs, both of which superb additions to the then trendy Emo genre. After their break up in 1998, Chris Simpson went on to form The Gloria Record and now fronts the Austin folk-pop band Zookeeper. The song I’ve got for you is “& Serenading” which appears on the bands second LP EndSerenading. It’s long been one of my favorites from the late 90s emo genre.
