I went to see buzzband Foster The People last night at a sold out show at Lees Palace. Impressive set from this young band who are continually getting the “next MGMT” comparison. When they closed the encore with “Helena Beat”, the better jam on their upcoming record debut Torches, I couldn’t help think of people riding dogs in a skate park.
**Not real dogs, please don’t try this at home**
Looking forward to this showcase next week, an industry showcase/shindig at Revival that Vapor Music and Stealing Time Editing are putting on. Its a closed event, but if you’re looking to see Humans, Grand Analog, Sweet Thing or Freedom or Death perform, maybe you can weasel a way in through twitter. I’ll be there early, to get a good spot in a crowded room (pun) and finally see Freedom or Death for the first time, drink in hand.
Isn’t it true that April Fools jokes are supposed to stop at noon? If so, I’ll point out the one I put on the site today. Twas from a few years ago, thought i’d try it again. Anyway, here’s one of those posts where I link to a bunch of stuff, check it.
-Cory Thomas Hanson is W-H-I-T-E and his latest single “draws from the experience of water rushing over ones body, submerging the senses in a bliss of overwhelming intensities”. Look for it on his upcoming album Twin Tigers. Check out his track “Fountain” at Impose.
–Nialler9 introduced me to Brooklyn’s Body Language in a post the other day, I’ve had “You Can” in high rotation here ever since. Video here.
-Here’s another taste from Wolf Gang‘s Dave Fridmann produced debut album Suego Faults, to be released on Atlantic Records on 27th June 2011. Wolf Gang – Something Unusual by wolfgang
–Friends With Both Arms have a track from Papercuts.
–IGIF has a new track and video from Foxes in Fiction called “School Night”.
–Check out “Sparrow” by Savoir Adore, exclusively at Neon Gold.
–RAC remixes Peter, Bjorn and John at RCRD LBL.
“Blue Dust” by James Irwin (of My People Sleeping), the first single from his album out on March 28th (via Bad Panda Records). The album is “ten meditative, crafted songs, written over five years, and recorded with many collaborators in the pines, the dogghouse, and a moldy basement in Montreal over the last 15 months”. You can watch a few more of his songs at A Story Told Well.
