Cold War Kids @ Enmore Theatre

From Oceans Never Listen, Posted August, 5th 2008

Rule Number One of concert going: Never listen to a Wolf Parade live bootleg before attending any show. It can only lead to disappointment. Having said that, I was not disappointed at the show Cold War Kids put on at the Enmore Theatre on Monday night. Far from it, it was a thoroughly enjoyable night. A night of fun and full of fiery passion. This band really brings it live and they always give it their all. It was however...

[Bikini]

From Both Sides of the Mouth, Posted August, 5th 2008

"We fell in love the middle of June. The sky was blue, blue, blue as the sea. Two lovers cross the middle of June, and it was easy."With the altruistic motive of making all women in the vicinity feel sexier (and thus making all men in the area feel equally better), Canadian duo Johnny Pen and Aaron Aujla make up the scantily-membered two-piece that is Bikini. First meeting each other in their younger days while passing some time in detention,...

The Wave Pictures - Just Like A Drummer

From Untouched by Work or Duty, Posted August, 5th 2008

One of the things we've been meaning to do is post a list of our favorite records etc. from the first half of the year. We've almost finished; hopefully we'll get it done by December. And, as you may have guessed, Instant Coffee Baby by The Wave Pictures would certainly be on any list of greatness we could produce. Yes, they sound a bit like Hefner. Yes, they sound a bit like The Modern Lovers. Yes, all of this means...

Andy Yorke Plays It Simple

From Speed of Dark, Posted August, 5th 2008

I did not know until recently that Thom Yorke even had a brother, much less that said brother was also a musician. Andy Yorke, younger brother of Radiohead's Thom, releases his first solo album to the U.S. today, published on his own label, Aktiv Records. He formerly was lead singer and guitarist for the band Unbelievable Truth, which formed in Oxford, also hometown to Radiohead, in 1993 and which he left in 2000 for a solo career.While Andy's...

What Laura Says - 'Thinks & Feels'

From Cable and Tweed, Posted August, 5th 2008

On August 19, Phoenix-based pop/folk outfit What Laura Says will issue a remastered version of their debut album Thinks & Feels. It seems these gents have a substantial following on their home turf, and may be well on their way to overcoming their regional status.On Thinks & Feels, What Laura Says comes off as in the mold of Ben Folds Five, Over the Rhine, or perhaps The Avett Brothers. The album is a pleasant listen as the band...

Radiohead w/ Grizzly Bear : 8.3.2008, Indianapolis, IN.

From Its Hard to Find a Friend, Posted August, 5th 2008

"Good evening, we're Radiohead...if you're here for Kid Rock you've come to the wrong place," were the first words we heard Thom Yorke mumble Sunday night to a few thousand men, women, and children at Indianapolis' Verizon Wireless Music Center. Thom, Jonny, Ed, Phil, & Colin would spend the next few hours proving that they were, in fact, still Radiohead, and though they're all at, above, or near forty years old - they have no problems whatsoever putting on one...

Bat For Lashes covers The Cure :: "A Forest"

From I am Fuel, You are Friends, Posted August, 5th 2008

The layers of ambiance and the ineffable cool of the originals always make Cure songs a particularly sticky wicket to cover. That's not stopping a bunch of folks including Bat For Lashes, The Muslims, Kaki King and The Dandy Warhols from trying their hand at it. This track is breathy, darkly shining, and atmospherically lovely.A Forest (Cure cover) - Bat For LashesPerfect as Cats: A Tribute To The Cure is out on Manimal Vinyl on October 28th. Sales will raise...

The Monarch with Sad Accordians, Sunset, Zookeeper and others!?

From Covert Curiosity, Posted August, 5th 2008

Seeing five bands in a row is a daunting task, especially in a venue where the energy level just barely beats out a dentist's waiting room. So I am going cover the highlights, and let the charts speak for themselves.Sad Accordians was the first band that played into the cavernous room at the Monarch. I was immediately hooked by Ben Lance's (who plays in Zookeeper) vocals, which gently filled the room with a heartbreaking honesty. The best songs were a...
