We continue sampling our favorite artists and songs found at the SXSW 2008 Showcasing Artists website. We still have a lot more to go, so keep dropping by if you like. I should have said earlier how incredibly generous it is of the SXSW folks to make these available, so in case any of those busy eyes peer here, THANKS! Our previous SXSW 2008 posts can be found here and here. Hope you're finding
Monday: No Age + High Places @ Market Hotel 9:30pm $8 I saw No Age on Saturday night and this band absolutely kicks ass! We already knew the same was true about High Places, and now they are being thrown together in a small venue to make the kids sweaty and happy! Effing sweet! No Age - "Everybody's Down" High Places - "Head Spins" Tuesday: Foals @ Bowery Ballroom 7:30pm $13 I really loved the
It's hard to always keep an eye out for new music when my library is filled with tons of songs i haven't really given a listen. But in order to try (and per John's request), i'm gonna start a weekly, New Music Roundup . It may not always be newly released stuff, just new to me. i'll try to post it on or around friday, so you can have some new tunes to get you through the weekend...... so here's some newish songs i've been diggin' this week: [...]

Garage, psicodelia y r&b. Su música nos traslada directamente a la mitad de la década de los 60. A los sonidos de grandes grupos como The Who, The Pretty Things, The Yardbirds o The Small Faces. The Black Hollies son una banda de New Jersey formada por el cantante, bajista y compositor Justin Angelo Morey, los guitarristas Herb Wiley V y Jon Gonneli y el batería Nick Ferrante.

What do you say about Imaad Wasif ? The new album , Strange Hexes, will be out March 18th and he has added a band called Two Part Beast. This is from the press release: "He/She inhabits both sexes and perspectives at all times, channeling romantics Baudelaire and Rimbaud by way of speed freaks Bowie, Reed, Bolan and Iggy and seen through the eyes of surrealists Dali and Buñuel. The lyrical fragmentation we encounter here is akin to the absurdist methodology found in Alfred Jarry's, Visits of Love." I think that pretty says everything and really nothing at all... [...]

Jersey City psych rockers The Black Hollies will release Casting Shadows , the follow-up to 2006's Crimson Reflections , March 11th via New York imprint Ernest Jenning. Casting Shadows will no doubt appeal to listeners with a fondness for legends like Cream, Syd-era Pink Floyd, The Yardbirds, or modern psych-rock paladins such as the Black Lips and the Warlocks. audio: Paisley Pattern Ground video: Paisley Pattern Ground [...]

The Black Hollies are from Jersey City, NJ and have the garage rock thang on lock. Mining 60's garage, psychedelia with flourishes of soul, the quartet are readying the release of their second long player Casting Shadows. Led by songwriter, vocalist and bassist Justin Angelo Morey, the band includes Herb Wiley V and Jon Gonnelli on sizzling guitars, and Nick Ferrante on drums. Listen to a
You call this doleful? Sheesh. They call it Blue Monday over here because of the day's high suicide rate. Christmas cheer is dead, its bills are coming due, weather sucks, etc. I, however, see it as an opportunity, so here're seven bands to give us luck and hope and stuff. The Black Hollies – Paisley Pattern Ground mp3 – I've seen this and the next one at several blogs but initially found
I haven't heard anything from Julian Cope in a long time. I miss his psychotic babblings about mother earth, Stonehenge and the little people living under the ground. The Durds are not exactly a perfect substitute, but they do mine the same, very odd, ground. The Durds have a new record out this week on Banazan Records . The record is a called Cucumber Mosaic Virus Rampages Through My Field . The title track rambles along at a slow folky pace and mostly concerns itself with a banana subspecies called plantains (which btw [...]

Led by songwriter, vocalist and bassist Justin Angelo Morey, the band includes Herb Wiley V and Jon Gonnelli on sizzling guitars, and Nick Ferrante on drums. Listen to a sampling of these tunes - close your eyes and you'll find yourself seeing pictures of matchstick men and falling deep into sensory overload of crimson, [...]
Rescue Me has been treading water this season, mostly resting on it's (always funny) firehouse banter to carry the viewer along it's journey through soap opera-like turns. The story lines have been disjointed and have mostly been attending to mopping up last season's messes. I've just about given up on it, but I'm holding out hope that they can turn a corner with the addition of a new chief played by Jerry Adler (Hesh Rabkin , from The Sopranos .) When Chief [...]
Here on the island, the nighttime hits like a clap of thunder. So, as soon as the sun turns out the lights I can disrobe from the dingy blue scrubs and put on the black cat cloak to head out into the veiled musical seductions of New York City. After wading through all the soledad brothers, snapin' bull whips, bear-towers & gypsy fortune tellers you'll come across some of the best small scale music venues in the country (Mercury Lounge, Pianos, Cake Shop, Knitting Factory, Tonic, Irving Plaza & Joe's Pub). Through the past dusty year, I [...]
This song is so retro it hurts. More retro than a kid with a bowl haircut riding a Raleigh Chopper . This is what Jet wish they sound like. In their dreams. Garage Rock in the truest '60's revivalest sense of it. What it lacks in chords and subtlety, it more than makes up for in energy and god damn balls out, denim flared rocking blues. Find out more about the band over at the The Black Hollies [...]
