Fool’s Gold

Leave a comment

foolsgoldNo not that terrible movie with Kate Hudson… Fool’s Gold is a brand new collective/band hailing from the big city of Los Angeles.  We call the band a collective because it started out as more of a side project of sorts and has since moved into a huge band full of artists with mixed musical influences.  You’ll find members of Foreign Born, a former We Are Scientists drummer, a member of The Fall, and tons of other talented musicians.  You can expect debut self-titled full length from the band September 29th via IAMSOUND Records.

New Tunes from Hiawata!

Leave a comment

hiawata Suffice to say that I really enjoy really clean indie-pop, especially when it’s done like the band Hiawata! does.  They’re another Scandinavian bunch just pumping out good tunes, and the track we’re throwing out below will come out on their new album These Boys and This Band is All I Know. This track put me down sounds a little bit like taking the vocals from Beulah and making them run through a maze of 90s radio pop like Tripping Daisy.

Talib Kweli @ Emo’s (6/24)

Leave a comment

500x333_12925630talib-kweli1It’s rare that the ATH gives much mention to hip-hop, but when an artist like Talib Kweli comes to town, we’ve got to get the word out.  Having seen the man in action before, I can tell you that a ticket will be well worth the cost of admission and not at all what you’d expect from the usual boring rap show.  Several openers are involved including Strong Arm Steady, Zeale, Traygod, and local Bavu Blakes hosting the thing.  Tickets are on sale now for $15 and music starts at 10pm.

girls During SXSW we took it upon ourselves to investigate the hype generated by San Francisco’s Girls. Lucky for us, they completely lived up to the hype, if not rising above and beyond. Now we finally have a release date for their debut, Album, which will be released on True Panther Records via Matador Records. The album comes out on September 22nd, and the following song “Lust for Life” is slated as the opening track. Look out album of the year, here come Girls.

New Tunes from The Drums

Leave a comment

drums I’m really psyched on this band The Drums right now. Of course, they come to us via New York City.  I’m not really surprised by that, but their sound doesn’t sound precisely like the rest of the bands using the wall of sound technique.  Just check out the bobbing bass line that runs throughout the song “Let’s Go Surfing” that’s down below. You can pick up this song and seven other right now off the groups self-titled EP.  They have a new Summertime EP coming our way on August 4th. Pogo…you know you wanna.

jennylewisOur #5 hot lady of indie rock Jenny Lewis is making a stop in Austin Monday night with her superb backing band.  We listed Jenny as one of our favorite acts of ACL so we are of course excited about this set.  An added bonus, an ATH fave Heartless Bastards will be providing opening support and start around 8pm.  Tickets for this one run $21.50 and are available now online.

Sunset Rubdown @ Mohawk (6/20)

Leave a comment

sunsetrubdownIf you’re looking for some solid indie rock on Saturday night in Austin, head over to Mohawk for a show by Spencer Krug’s band Sunset Rubdown.  Music starts at 9pm with opening act Witchies followed by Elfin Saddle.  Tickets are relatively cheap and on sale now for $13.  Better seize the opportunity to see such a talented act in an intimate setting as you’ll probably never see Mr. Krug’s full time band Wolf Parade in such a setting.  Sunset Rubdown is touring in support of their new album Dragonslayer which is due out next week via JagJaguwar.
