Hey Rosetta! is touring. You should go.

Becoming one of my most listened to bands after watching this video a few months back, Hey Rosetta!, the Canadian troupe led by Tim Baker on vocals, is touring all over the Northeast with Sarah Harmer.

[MP3 + Video] Marina and the Diamonds covers 3OH3! and Katy Perry’s “Starstrukk”

The Decemberists debut two new songs live

Rejoice, English majors! At the Newport Folk Festival, The Decemberists played two new songs live, and they sound less like that totally out of date prog rock and more like The Decemberists.
