Show Preview: The Ocean Party Comes to Cheer Up Charlies (2/28)

February 27, 2017 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

I encourage you all to head out tomorrow night to Cheer Up Charlies. There’s a huge line-up of great pop music, some of which I’ve had a hand in putting out on vinyl. For instance, we’ve helped The Ocean Party from Australia put out Light Weight in the US, and this might be one of the few chances you get to see the band live! Second, you’ll have Shivery Shakes and Summer Salt, both perennial pop powerhouses who we’ve released stuff from in the past (and present). Plus, you’ll get to hear Daphne, which is Santiago from Growl‘s other project, as well as Summer Swells. You won’t find a better bill in town, and it’s free, with donations highly encouraged to help out The Ocean Party while on tour in the States. Sample some tunes below, and see you tomorrow at 9 PM.

It’s likely some of these will go to capacity, so if you’re looking for a ticket, do so now. Here you go folks… Read more

Austin Spotlight: Summer Swells

Our apologies to those in Austin who knew about Summer Swells before we did. This shit happens sometimes man. With that out of the way, check out this track from the local boys called “House on the Edge of a Hill”. To me, the band combines this crazy mixture of The Walkmen’s best guitar melodies with modern country twang. Sounds like Austin to me. If you’re a fan of the tune, check out more from these guys on their bandcamp page with recent EP Old Gold.

June 4, 2012 RayRay Leave a comment

Date	6/5/12
Location	Mohawk
Doors	8pm
Tickets	$5 @ Door

Up and comers The Couch are a band we feel everyone should really be paying attention to right now in Austin. They’re a great band with loads of talent, not to mention a great new single “Kaiser” that’s creating all kinds of buzz in town. Joining the group are fellow talented locals The Sour Notes and relatively unknown Summer Swells. If anyone has a link for SS, holler.
