New Music From Handsom Furs

January 15, 2009 RayRay Leave a comment

This week has been pretty crazy for new music from big name acts and now Handsom Furs are gettin’ in on the fun. New track “I’m Confused” from upcoming LP Face Control just popped up on the web today and is already getting heavy rotation at the ATH offices. It’s got some dirty sounding guitar work mixed in with a pretty typical Handsom Furs synth beat. You can get your hands on the new album March 10th via the always awesome Sub Pop label. The band also plans to be a part of our SXSW festival in March.

06/21 Grand Archives Show + Interview

June 24, 2008 RayRay 2 comments

The people at Stubb’s Austin were treated to an outstanding set by Seattle’s own Grand Archives on Saturday night. The band mostly stuck to songs from their self titled debut album Grand Archives, which came out earlier this year in February. The set list provided a good mix of upbeat songs along with some of the slower tracks from the album. One big highlight for me was the superb cover of Sam Cooke’s popular R&B song “Another Saturday Night”. Most members of the audience were cracking smiles and singing along to the huge ’60s hit from the late singer. Read more
