Eighteen venues, four days, and a whole earful of great of music make up this year's MusicFestNW.

Bobby Birdman é o nome de trabalho do músico Rob Kieswetter, mais conhecido pelo seu trabalho na banda de apoio do YACHT . Apesar dessa participação bem eletrônica e experimental, o seu trabalho solo caminha por lados praticamente opostos. Sua nova música de trabalho que acaba de ser lançada, "Don't Walk Away", é um grande exemplo disso. A belíssima voz de Bobby é combinada com uma instrumentação bem folk, marcada por violões e gaitas, ideal para quem procura algo relaxante e de qualidade. O single ainda conta como b-side um remix do Selector Dub Nacortic (Calvin Jonhson), [...]

DOWNLOAD: Bobby Birdman - Only For A While (from 2009's New Moods ) STREAM : Bobby Birdman - "Dub Walk" (click-through to KRecs Tumblr page) Bobby Birdman (aka Rob Kieswetter from YACHT's backing band The Straight Gaze) announced a new digital 7" ("Don't Walk Away" / "Dub Walk") and is opening for YACHT at Webster Hall on April 27th. "Don't Walk Away" has a pulp-noir vibe which features Birdman's clear vocals on top of surf-guitar lines and an underlying pulsing bass. [...]

Sometimes in a day I download a few albums, some bands I know and some I don't. Sometimes I forget what I download and it shows up months later while I'm listening to my library on shuffle. That's the case with Bobby Birdman's , " Only for a While" . Bobby Birdman is the stage name for musician Rob Kieswetter who lives in L.A. Although "Only for a While" is from his ' New Moods' album (2009) [...]

Welcome to the 4th On The iPod feature. This feature was created about seven months ago, and I was hoping to make it a more regular feature, but, totally understandably, it takes people a while to prepare their list of what could be their Top 10 Songs of All Time. To refresh your memories, let me recap what this feature entails. We are asking people, be they artists, listeners, or fans, what they would do if they were stranded on an island with an iPod that held only 10 songs. Which songs [...]

Ratatat Club Nokia was packed for the danceable onslaught of NYC duo Mike Stroud and Evan Mast, aka Ratatat, on tour in support of their latest full-length, LP4 . Usually solo Bobby Birdman opened with a drummer, filling out his electronic-driven surf melodies with a rich beat. DOM followed, with their eponymous lead singer's appearance as such a visual homage to Dave Pirner that I was concerned "Runaway Train" was going to come pouring forth. Thankfully no, and instead the crowd was treated to their fuzzed-out pop rock, complete with a lot of one-leg-up-on-monitor swagger [...]

jai paul - "btstu" (download) Jai Paul is a 21-year old from London. This demo version of " BTSTU " consists of heavily-layered synths and drums, and as of now is the only song I've heard from him, but apparently there's an EP in the works. The first comparison that comes to mind is sort of a falsetto Bobby Birdman . Jai is still "unsigned," but rumor has it that he's being scoped out by labels such [...]

Portland's once-upon-a-time nickname of "Little Beirut" was revived for Ratatat's most recent visit (and they say G.W. Bush did nothing!). The carnivorous nature of the crowd ate up Ratatat and chewed up the openers as they saw fit. Don't let the plaid shirts and hot pants fool you: we're ruthless. Bobby Birdman was the first to grace the stage and was a perfect harbinger of the night, even if the crowd was tepid at best. A mix of surf and noise, Bobby's vocals suffered the most, coming across as a garbled mess. The visuals [...]

>Gather 'round, ye kiddies, it's video time! Castanets is one of our favorites. Ray Raposa's songs are sparse but full-sounding; experimental and indulgent but endlessly listenable; sometimes a bit lonely and creepy. The local songwriter—he's a bit of a drifter, but keeps coming back to Portland—has only gotten better as of late, and here's some video evidence from the Terror Eyes blog. Here we find Raposa at his minimal best, and the crunching leaves on "Some Kind of Fool"—while they may not seem intentional—are an entirely appropriate touch. Bonus Trivia items: What's Up's Robby Moncrieff is [...]

Yhdysvaltalainen indietä ja elektrofunkia sekoitteleva YACHT esiintyy uuden The Straight Gaze -taustabändinsä kanssa juuri avatussa Club YK -keikkapaikassa tiistaina 24. elokuuta. Nykyisin LCD Soundsystemistä tutun James Murphyn DFA-levymerkin talliin kuuluva YACHT personoituu vahvasti "indierockin Timbalandiksi" kutsuttuun Jona Bechtoltiin . Muusikkona, taiteilijana ja remiksaajana mainetta kerännyt Bechtolt on uransa aikana vaikuttanut omien projektiensa ohella myös Devendra Banhartin yhtyeessä sekä Dirty Projectorsin riveissä. Parin viimeisen vuoden ajan YACHTin toisena virallisena jäsenenä on toiminut vokalisti Claire L. Evans , joka vieraili jo yhtyeen läpimurtolevyllä I Believe in You. Your Magic is Real. [...]

I know it's Monday and that all of these performances happened on Saturday, but I never went to sleep that night, so it's as if this post isn't late. Saturday brought freezing cold weather and drizzly rain to Austin, and it admittedly put a damper on everything. After a miserable morning, I managed to obtain some extra clothes and rallied, for what was undoubtedly one of the craziest, most fun nights ever. The day was supposed to start off with me checking out Smith Westerns and Let's Wrestle at Mess With Texas, but their equipment was rained on [...]
