Pop Rocking with Warm Soda

January 28, 2013 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

I loved what Bare Wires were doing musically, so when I heard that Matthew Melton had a new outfit, I had to get on it. Boy was I pleased when I heard this rad single from Warm Soda. It’s got power-pop guitar chords, but there’s also a nice bit of sheen to the track, making it catchy enough to play on and on and on. The group has just released their debut LP, Someone For You, on limited edition splattered vinyl. It went pretty quick, so they’ll be releasing it again on Castle Face Records at the end of March.

2012 Austin City Limits Festival Lineup

May 22, 2012 brian.gray 4 comments

The lineup has been announced and tix will be up for sale soon. After many months of speculation and the build-up via the scratch offs, the management has let loose the list of bands that we will argue about for the next five months.

Obviously, the headliners aren’t for us. I mean, I will hang out for a little Red Hot Chili Peppers and maybe even Neil Young for a moment, but The Black Keys have jumped the shark. I am down with seeing Iggy. Other notables for me include The Afghan Whigs, Crystal Castles, Die Antwoord, The War on Drugs, Bombay Bicycle Club, Oberhofer, Polica, Stars, Black Lips, Caveman and Nikki Lane. I am sure I forgot some stuff in the list I like, but as with every festival lineup from the music obsessed point of view, we can react with meh. We’ll all still go and have fun, so start shopping for your cooler-umbrella-chair combo device. Leave a comment with your reaction and see you on the lawn.

Full line-up here.

Update: Three day passes are gone. Single Day tix will go up ~~once the daily schedules are announced~~ tomorrow.
