Bodebrixen

If you want more proof that Europeans are much more fun than Americans, here’s Bodebrixen. They hail from Denmark, the land of good music, and give us strange, fun janglypop (ala Suburban Kids With Biblical Names). Using horns, guitars, synth and harmonization, they create a very pure, wondrous sound. Their sound is certainly nothing groundbreaking, but… Continue reading Bodebrixen

These United States at the Black Cat

Local psychedelic folk act These United States will be playing at the Black Cat with The Cassettes in DC tomorrow! So go out and support them as they continue touring for their latest critically acclaimed CD, Crimes. These United States have a soothing sound to go with their unique (weird…but who are we to judge)… Continue reading These United States at the Black Cat

King Khan & BBQ Show at Sonar

King Khan & BBQ Show are quite possibly the most exciting duo to take any stage this year. They are made up of Canadians Blacksnake (King Khan) and Mark Sultan (BBQ), both former members of Spaceshits, and will be playing at Sonar in Baltimore this Wednesday. Their recordings sound like old 1950s garage band tapes,… Continue reading King Khan & BBQ Show at Sonar

Shiny Toy Guns At 9:30 Club

Oklahoma’s own dancerockpunk and sometimesemo band, Shiny Toy Guns, is playing at the 9:30 Club this Tuesday. Again, I can’t go (still poor) but like always, you still can for a “meh” price of $20! The group is touring on their latest Album, Season of Poison, which came out earlier this month. I haven’t heard… Continue reading Shiny Toy Guns At 9:30 Club

Now It’s Overhead

A Saddle Creek (Tokyo Police Club, Bright Eyes, Cursive) force based in Athens Georgia, Now It’s Overhead mainly incorporates the talents of four individuals: Andy LeMaster (the songwriter), Azure Ray‘s Orenda Fink and Maria Taylor, and drummer Clay Leverett. They all have their own side projects but they come together to perform a superstar tandem… Continue reading Now It’s Overhead

Edie Sedgwick as Edie Sedgwick

If you try to tell me something is wrong with dressing up like a 1960s heiress and close “friend” of Andy Warhol’s onstage, I’ll say good day! Edie Sedgwick, also known as Justin Moyer, dresses up like the real Edie Sedgwick and sings otherwise non-Edie Sedgwick related songs. It’s all very confusing, but results are… Continue reading Edie Sedgwick as Edie Sedgwick

iPhone Commercial: The Submarines

“You know when you don’t know what song is playing – and its driving you crazy?” Oh My. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hny-G-0nUBM&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x006699&color2=0x54abd6&border=1] First of all, this is completely awesome, yet totally absurd. Does anyone have this feature? Does it work? Secondly, I highly doubt anyone would hear The Submarines coming out of any speakers (besides maybe iPhone commercials)… Continue reading iPhone Commercial: The Submarines

Minisnap: Old People Going Indie

Comprised of members from New Zealand four-piece The Bats, Minisnap is another of those hip, new side projects full of young, fresh-faced musicians. Wait, what’s that? The Bats formed in 1982? So that puts the members of Minisnap at roughly… mid to late-forties? Wow, a middle-aged people band that doesn’t play “Mustang Sally!” Age aside, Minisnap… Continue reading Minisnap: Old People Going Indie

Mike Wexler!

With a voice that can only be described as “Sandy” (and believe me…I have tried), Mike Wexler is a fine addition to anyone’s collection of…psychedelic folk? Regardless of what you want to call it, Wexler’s 2007 release “Sun Wheel” is full of amazing melodies and soft, yet epic moments. Mike Wexler is something different, but… Continue reading Mike Wexler!
