MP3/Video: Wildbirds and Peacedrums

3, Sep 2010

 
 
I had heard of Wildbirds and Peacedrums before watching their Take Away Show, but I knew absolutely nothing about them.  After watching the husband-and-wife duo from Sweden perform inside of a boxing ring with nothing more than drums and vocals I was hooked. 
I have to say I was skeptical at first.  After all having only a drummer and [...]

MP3/Video: Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr.

2, Sep 2010

 

 
I’ve been seeing the name Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. pop up a lot lately.  They were featured on NPR’s All Songs Considered and they recently recorded a session with Daytrotter.  That being said it took me quite a while to get around to listening to the actual music.  Sometimes I find myself overwhelmed by the [...]

New Releases V8.31

1, Sep 2010

 
I’ve been uploading/posting LouFest videos like crazy so I didn’t get a chance to post some of the new releases that hit the shelves yesterday.  To be honest I haven’t listened to a single note of this Jenny and Johnny business, party due to fear that it will suck and partly due to a full plate [...]

MP3/Video: Deer Tick

26, Aug 2010

 
 
If you witnessed the Deer Tick show at Off Broadway earlier this month you know what an amazing band they are (or if you have read this blog for any length of time).  Deer Tick just released their upcoming tour dates and while Saint Louis isn’t listed they did pass along a great video of John [...]

New Releases V8.24

24, Aug 2010

 
With LouFest coming up this weekend it’s easy to forget that it’s Tuesday and that means new music. On Friday Sufjan Stevens surprised everyone by releasing his All Delighted People EP (highly recommended). If you missed my post on S. Carey make sure you take a look/listen and then go pick up his new album [...]

LouFest Preview/Interview: Stephaniesid

24, Aug 2010

 
 
LouFest is only 4 days away!  I remember drooling over the lineup after the big announcement like it was yesterday.  Now that LouFest is finally upon us and Forest Park is about to erupt in music I think it’s time to preview a few of the bands that will be gracing the stage this weekend. 
Hailing from Asheville, [...]

I’ve been slacking when it comes to previewing upcoming shows so I figure it’s time for me to get cracking.  On Saturday (8/21) Tapes n’ Tapes will be hitting the stage at the Firebird (doors 7:30, show 8:30), along with Art Majors.  I enjoyed Tapes n’ Tapes’ 2008 release Walk [...]

New Music: S. Carey of Bon Iver

19, Aug 2010

 
It’s no secret that I love everything Justin Vernon does.  Whether it’s his original project Bon Iver, his collaboration with Collections of Colonies of Bees which makes up Volcano Choir, or his mega collaboration with too many artists to name in the form of Gayngs.  At the end of the day though few albums hit me [...]

New Releases V8.17

18, Aug 2010

 
File this post under better late than never.  I can highly recommend Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin’s new LP Let It Sway.  SSLYBY is one of the few bands out there that should be getting more hype than they are.  In June I debuted a new single from singer/songwriter John Statz’s new album Ghost [...]

New Tracks: Jimmy Eat World/Weezer

13, Aug 2010

 
Some people might give me crap for saying this, but I Goddamn love Jimmy Eat World’s new track “My Best Theory” from their upcoming Invented LP (out 9/28 via Interscope).  I wasn’t big on 2007’s Chase This Light, which was a bit over-the-top emo even for JEW.  Despite my lukewarm feelings for their last album, I [...]
