Minka Channel Talking Heads on New Track

In all the rehash, few bands even try to tread the groundwork put down by the Talking Heads, but while Minka might not be there quite yet, at least they’re taking a run at it. Their latest single from the forthcoming Born in the Viper Room definitely looks at Byrne-esque vocal display, though the guitar work seems to have a lighter air to it. It’s how looking back should feel, nostalgic but with promise for what’s coming up next. The group drop their latest album on May 23rd, so feel free to pencil in a good listen to see just how close these guys can get to greatness.

PYLON to Release Live Double LP

pylonBack in the early 00s, danceable punk/art rock made a huge comeback, but one of the bands that seemed to fly under the radar of most in that rebirth was PYLON. Still, fans have clamored over their angular art punk, and now they’ll all get to hear the power contained in the band’s live setting. Even more interesting, live record was recorded over 30 years ago, highlighting the band at their peak in the Athens scene. Chunklet is releasing two of the singles this week (the album comes out in July), so go back in time with one of the greats and grab your copy.

Nico Vega @ Emo’s (5/13)

nico_vegaNico Vega are a band that often get compared to Yeah Yeah Yeahs for obvious reasons.  They have a fiery female lead singer, a male guitar player, a male drummer and the sound is eerily similar.  We dig it.  You can catch this rock trio at Emo’s on Wednesday night along with relatively unknown band Red Leaves.  Doors are at 8pm/music at 10.  Tickets can be purchased online for $8.
