It's pretty incredible to think that the holiday season is here. It seems like just yesterday we were ringing in 2009, a year, which as we eventually discovered, would be beyond our wildest imaginations. From the scorching musical brilliance of Bonnaroo to the incredible weekend that was Lollapalooza ; from our interviews with Tom Jones , Slayer , Passion Pit , Pavement , Ben Kweller , and Ms. Consequence of Sound herself, Regina Spektor , to debates over the metal heads , 311 , and Albums [...]

[Photo By Willie Richardson] Here's one from Glasgow UK's A Band Called Quinn that'll have you dancing around the Christmas tree in no time, it's an especially good remix of their song It's Christmas Time by Celebrity Murder Party . It gets really cool at about the halfway point when the blizzard of swirling synths kicks in over the gracefully looping vocals repeating "let it snow...let it snow...let it snow...". It's one of the extra tracks on the upcoming Fluff Girl single from their [...]

It's December, and you know what comes next. A trip to the mall will probably give you that all too familiar Christmas feel, what with Mariah Carey or The Jackson 5 piped in through the mall sound system. If you're up to getting your Christmas Spirit on, but want none of the usual mall flavor Christmas tunes, we here at The Indie Music Database are spreading the cheer and counting down the days of Christmas by sharing one song a day by some of our friends from the indie music community. This will be [...]
A Band Called Quinn just released the "DIY Remix EP" to go along with their recently released album Sun Moon Stars . 'DIY' is one of the songs from the album, and is a fun slice of indie-pop music. The remixes do a great job of retaining the fun energy from the original song and making them more dancefloor friendly. We've got two remixes from the EP to share with you. The Mash mix has a nice acid house vibe to it while the Celebrity Murder radio edit [...]

It's Sunday, I'm tired I want to chill. I pick up a CD that was sent to me by the lovely Louise Quinn. I play it. I'm in heaven. Art house electro indie pop always goes down well at the weekend, or any day of the week for that matter. ABCQ combines a historical knowledge of said genres and melds them together with a splash of contemporary elegance that is not on audible but visible in the video for 'Glimmer Song' (below). I'm not going to waste time making comparisons and sound like comments [...]
Just because we're down in Austin, doesn't mean we'd forget about you - or your weekly mp3 fix. Below, we've compiled a special SXSW mixtape, chock full of goodies we think are pretty damn, well, neat. Of course, it wouldn't be a CoS influenced mixtape if it didn't have our personal favorites *ahem* who happen to play in our showcase *ahem*. That's not to say there aren't a few other artists outside our proverbial reach/influence, so take what you will. Also, we threw in a baker's dozen (and more!) of new singles, remixes, etc. Oh how we spoil [...]
Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears @ Lollapalooza '08 (Photo - Rollo & Grady) Austin's Black Joe Lewis did not disappoint on his major label debut. The Lost Highway recording artist's album Tell 'Em What Your Name Is! showcases his soul, funk, R&B and blues influences. Producer Jim Eno of Spoon did an excellent job of capturing Joe's live sound in the studio. It's one of my favorite albums of the year. SXSW Shows: Wednesday, March 18th - 3:30pm @ Radio Room [...]

A Band Called Quinn Genre: Indie / Electronica / Other From: United Kingdom In an increasingly crowded music scene bands are resorting to increasingly outlandish means of grabbing the attention of a world weary media and increasingly impoverished music lovers. Glaswegian foursome A Band Called Quinn's singer Louise, the indie Fay Wray, for instance [...]
Toamna e un anotimp in esenta acustic. Poate pentru ca nuantele se pot distinge mai bine pe un fundal gri. "Grey Weather" e una dintre perlele acustice pe care le gasiti in albumul "Moenie and Kitchi" de la Gregory and the Hawk. Sonoritati care aduc a Sufijan Stevens - modern folk si lirism art-nouveau in proportii egale. Acest album transcede simpla eticheta de singer/songwriter asociata fiecarui artist. Tocmai pentru ca, pe langa chitara, compozitiile sunt condimentate cu o diversitate de instrumente. (mp3) [...]
I've been sitting on this band for a while now. Not literally, obviously, as that wouldn't be comfortable for anyone. Mainly because for a while, I wasn't sure what to make of them. A Band Called Quinn seem to be on the border of many things. Part folk, part electronica, part indie. They dabble in a bunch of styles and genres without ever committing themselves fully to any of them. You want synth pop? You got it. Fancy some swaggering rock? No problem? In the mood for a slice of melancholy twee indie? Why [...]
