Last week, Jeremy Barnes of A Hawk and a Hacksaw (and previously of Neutral Milk Hotel) was kind enough to sit down with Noise Narcs for a lengthy interview. Multi-instrumentalist Barnes and violinist Heather Trost just released their sixth studio album, Cervantine on their new record label, L.M. Dupli-cation. They are currently on a West Coast tour, ending in Albuquerque on 3/12. Barnes reflects on fixing cement with river sand, his introduction to Eastern European music, whether a Neutral Milk Hotel reunion would be possible, Trish Keenan's death, and the new album. [...]

• NoiseNarcs - A Hawk and a Hacksaw, "Espanola Kolo"

About six months ago, I became completely obsessed with zombies films, mostly due to the brilliance behind Robert Kirkman 's The Walking Dead books and the airing of the series on AMC . As Season 1 comes out on DVD and BluRay today, I figured the time was right to post this. So I buckled down and finished my zombie soundtrack podcast, filled with songs I felt perfect for a zombie film. Be assured: this will not be your typical zombie mix. [...]

Phew. Blogging's hard work. Typing. While sitting. With headphones on. Sure makes one's bones tired. So to relieve the strain, two of the Narcs (Billy L and myself) will be taking off for the West Coast tomorrow. But because blogging is already a vacation, we'll be "working": checking out two of Philly's musical sister cities, Portland and San Francisco. Our other contributors will do sporadic regular posting, and we'll occasionally throw up a post form the road. Expect a full report the week of March 7. To launch the feature, tomorrow we'll be posting a [...]

When it comes to my old videos-specifically my top-15 albums of 2009 -one of the outfits I get the most comments on is a Hawk and a Hacksaw . They're a New Mexico band, but their music is from a completely different region. For four albums AHAAH has served as a devoted exercise in exploring the sounds of Eastern Europe. CERVANTINE is the band's upcoming fifth album, and it's due for a March 8th release via L.M. Dupli-cation: A label that seems to have been started by the band [...]

hier stellt sich zum ersten mal der gedanke in einer klareren form ein, der mir vor nicht also langer zeit auch bei einer show der transzendental-black-metal-dar lings LITURGY wieder ins gebein kroch. wie schwappen bands, auf den ersten hööör nicht hundertprozentig an der ausgefuchstheit oder innovationerei der jeweiligen musik festzumachen, über ihre genregrenzen hinaus (gerade wo genregrenzen doch irgendwie heiß und wichtig wirken, s.o. balkanfolklore, s.a. black metal) in den indiekonsens, ins hipster dead end, in den warmen kuchen einer weltweiten crowd aus offenäugiger freundlichkeit und subkulturlosigkeit. gerade, wenn der verdacht glimmt, es müsse wohl auf der welt bessere, zeitlosere, warmherzigere, [...]

Vi proponiamo un altro festival italiano dove trascorrere alcuni giorni di vacanza, ascoltando ottima musica e in una location vicina al mare. Il Soundlabs è nato ufficialmente nel 2003 (anche se in forma amatoriale esiste dal 1997) e in questi sette anni è riuscito ad imporsi come uno degli eventi importanti della musica indipendente italiana. Quest'anno la programmazione è particolarmente varia e cerca di avvicinare sia chi è più attento ai nuovissimi nomi della scena nazionale e internazionale, sia chi è legato a sonorità che hanno fatto la storia del panorama musicale. Dagli headliner [...]

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News Straight-up rock bands have it easy at SXSW compared to a group like Fanfarlo , whose baroque chamber-pop sound requires a more exacting and time-consuming setup. Put the London-based band on a bill with similar acts and it was no surprise that they went on later than their scheduled start time Wednesday night. Also no surprise: it was worth the wait. A sizable crowd had collected by the time Fanfarlo went on. The group [...]
