Phoenix On The interface

2009-07-10T09:00:00.000-07:00

PHOENIX (Versailles, France)

[MP3] Phoenix - 1901

Seriously people CANNOT stop talking about Phoenix these days. The french quartet's recent SNL Appearance and amazing SOLD OUT performance at The Wiltern in Los Angeles a few weeks back I think sealed the deal for most of the music industry. I think this is the first new rock band I've seen in a long time that could potentially achieve Radiohead status success.

Phoenix recently did an exclusive Acoustic performance for AOL's Spinner. You can catch their performance of "1901" below. Watch the whole performance + interview at the link below.

Video: Julie Doiron - Consolation Prize

2009-07-09T13:00:00.000-07:00

Julie Doiron (Toronto, Canada)

[MP3] Julie Doiron - When Brakes Get Wet

Funny. I was just telling someone earlier this week how MUCH I love Julie Doiron and this morning a new video and MP3 popped into my inbox. It would be a crying shame for me not to post and share her fabulousness. Julie Doiron crafts some of the best indie pop songs around. They are clever, endearing, and hold your attention.

"Consolation Prize" is definitely noisier than her previous offerings - bringing some 90s flare to her quirky tunes. You can also download "When Brakes Get Wet" above. Be sure to pick up her new album "I Can Wonder What You Did With Your Day" which is out now on Jagjaguwar.

Tweak Bird Announce Tour Dates With TOOL

Tweak Bird

[MP3] Tweak Bird - Whorses

You heard me correctly - Tweak Bird will be opening for the legendary TOOL on their upcoming U.S. tour. Most of the dates are in the mountain and mid-west regions of the U.S. where TOOL EQUALS GOD. I grew up in Salt Lake City, UT. TOOL might as well be patron saints.

Tweak Bird certainly come along way since playing in the backs of school buses. I have no doubt that their raw and powerful blend of face melting rock n' roll will be well received

You can pick up their new Reservations EP on the White Noise website. Download "Whorses" for free above and play it at your next BBQ.

Fool's Gold - Surprise Hotel

Fool's Gold (Los Angeles, CA)

[MP3] Fool's Gold - Surprise Hotel

Fool's Gold have been kicking around LA for a few years now - trying out different styles and finally finding their niche with bright guitar tones, 80s pop, African inspired drums. You may recognize members of Foreign Born, In Waves, Glasser, and The Fall amid their flock.

Their music is absolutely perfect for summer and perfect for fighting away winter blues. It could just be the perfect record ;)

The band have been getting a lot of write-ups and features lately thanks to the recent announcement of the band signing to IAMSOUND Records. Fool's Gold will be releasing their full length debut on September 29th, 2009. Download "Suprise Hotel" above. It is definitely mix tape worthy.

LA Readers can check them out at Sunset Junction on August 23rd, 2009!

1. Surprise Hotel
2. Nadine
3. Ha Dvash
4. The World Is All There Is

In Loving Memory: Pablo Thrailkill Castelaz (2003-2009)

2009-06-30T16:59:00.000-07:00

I'm sure most of you have heard the news by now of the passing of young Pablo Thrailkill Castelaz - the son of Dangerbird co-founder Jeff Castelaz. Jeff and his family shared their story with the world through their Pablog! holding nothing back. I followed their saga for over 9 months and like many was truly inspired by Pablo's strength, joy, and infectious smile.

Pablo was diagnosed with bilateral wilms tumor- a very rare form of pediatric cancer. This led to the founding of The Pablove Foundation which donates money to the Childrens Hospital LA. Sadly this past Saturday June 27th, 2009 Pablo passed away. He was 6 years old.

Tomorrow night's Eulogies/ Bad Veins which will also features performances from Avi Buffalo has now been made a benefit show with all proceeds going to The Pablove Foundation. I wanted to ask if you have a few dollars to spare please donate a few dollars in Pablo's honor.

Matt is very sad about MJ. On the other hand, this does mean I've won my bet about him completing less than a third of his London summer tour dates

Chairlift TONIGHT at The Echo + Dance Right Afterparty!

2009-06-18T12:00:00.000-07:00

Chairlift (Brooklyn, NY)

TONIGHT I will be heading out to The Echo to check out Brooklyn's Chairlift. I saw the band for the first time at CMJ and must say it wasn't the best introduction. Their set was plagued by technical difficulties. I kind of wrote the band off until I saw their Laundro-Matinee performance and was blown away. I'm really looking forward to seeing how they've developed.

After the show Dance Right is hosting an after party at La Cita that features DJ sets from IAMSOUND(System).

Tiny Vipers - Life On Earth

2009-06-18T08:00:00.000-07:00

[MP3] Tiny Vipers- Dreamer

At first listen Tiny Vipers' track "Dreamer" immediately made me think of Sybille Baier with a dash of Joanna Newsom. Lord knows I love Sybille Baier almost to the point of discomfort.

The frail Seattle based musician whose given name is Jesy Fortino will be releasing her second full length LP Life On Earth on July 7th via Sub Pop. Her gorgeous deep and haunting voice echoes amid some ghostly chord progressions creating delicious negative space that is just as moving as the amazing melodies. Don't take just my word on it - Pitchfork recently gave the track it's dubious "Best New Track" honor

Tiny Vipers will be playing what is most assured to be a beyond packed show at Echo Curio on July 27th with Lazarus. Pre-Order Life On Earth in the Sub Pop Online Store.

Monolith Early Bird Tickets On Sale Now

2009-06-17T15:00:00.000-07:00

Most people who know me well know of my severe aversion to large crowds. I have had full blown panic attacks on crowded nights at Spaceland forcing me to leave early. This pyshosis stems from being nearly crushed at one of my first big concerts ever. I now make it a point to note where all the exits are the second I walk into a venue and always stand at the edge of the crowd so if something does happen there's no more than 2 steps between me and freedom.

This makes large music festivals a truly hellish and mentally trying experience for me. I have been avoiding the Coachella and Bonnaroo's of the world for years now.

This year I am finally breaking my streak because I have found the festival for me - The Monolith Music Festival in Denver, CO. The event will go down Friday September 12th - 13th, 2009 in one of the most scenic venues in the U.S. at Red Rocks Amphitheatre.

Reasons I've Decided To Go:

The confirmed lineup for the festival reads like my iTUNES playlist.
Red Rocks Amphitheatre is one of the most beautiful venues in the U.S. and has lot of space. Chances are I'll be able to find places where I won't get that "stampede" feeling
Price. Early bird tickets went on sale yesterday and are only $75 for a two day pass. This includes parking and has no hidden fees.
Great representation of bands from Southern California including Spindrift, Avi Buffalo, Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeroes, HEALTH, and Miniature Tigers.
Bigger bands are still to be announced.
