We keep our eyes peeled for new tour dates announcements each week and compile them on Tuesdays for this handy column… In 2007, Lisa Hannigan parted ways with Damien Rice, after recording two critically acclaimed albums, as frustrations arose within their working relationship. The split, which was far from amicable, seemed to have worked out well for Hannigan, as Rice hasn't put out much in the way of new material since 20062s 9 , while the folkie-chanteuse will release her sophomore album Passenger via ATO Records on [...]

It sort of seems hard to believe, but it's been ten years since Jack Johnson put out his debut album Brushfire Fairytales via the small indie-label Enjoy Records (which is now known as Everloving ). When the pro-surfer turned musician's record was picked up for wider distribution, the label's co-founder and album's producer JP Plunier struck a unique deal with Universal, in which they could only have the masters for ten years. With masters tapes back in the hands of Everloving, the label has announced that on April 12 [...]
This week we posted some 'scary' good tunes like "Ghosttown" (First Aid Kit), "Radioactive" and "Pyro" (Kings of Leon), "Sixteen Shades of Black and Blue" (Fujayi & Miyagi), and "Sun Demon" (Stereolab) as a 'dead-on' giveway we were posting our annual Halloween mix. Yep, there's some 'killer' indie music here and played loud enough it's sure to make your ears bleed. So, find a favorite haunt, invite your best ghouls and goons, and get 'ur freak on. Happy Halloween! - Ed Blinking Pigs - [...]
The Avett Brothers have been on a seemingly non-stop tour ever since releasing the critically acclaimed I And Love And You last September. So it really should come as no surprise that the North Carolina-based act's next release will come in the form of a live album, which will be simply titled Live, Volume 3 . The 16-track album, which will also be released on DVD , was recorded at a hometown gig at the Bojangles Coliseum in Charlotte on Aug. 8 of last year and features [...]
If you're looking to get a little freaky this fall you're in luck as psychedelic art-pop acts of Montreal and Janelle Monae will join forces for a 25-date tour that will kick off with a two-night stand at the 9:30 Club in Washington, DC on September 13. The two eclectic Atlanta-based acts seem to have forged quite the friendship, as they each guest on each others' albums - Kevin Barnes & Co. appear on one track of Monae's critically acclaimed LP The ArchAndroid , while Janelle will lend her talents to two songs on of [...]
We're not going to go with a theme this week as there has been so many great releases that are either already out, or are on their way into stores in the next week or so. With that in mind, I thought I'd use this week's Mix Tape to take a look at a batch of songs from some obvious releases, and maybe a few that might be under the radar. So sit back, pop your headphones on or blast this playlist loudly from your speakers and take a listen... [...]

On my personal short list of albums that I've been eagerly anticipating this year is the Infinite Arms , the third full-length from Band Of Horses, which hits stores on May 18. The South Carolina via Seattle, WA-act recently dropped the gorgeous looking video that mixes still photography and animation for that album's lead single, Compliments. Take a look... Band Of Horses - Compliments Band Of Horses will open two dates for HT Faves Widespread Panic at the Walnut Creek Amphitheater on April 23 and [...]
The music of Wilco has moved beyond the aural realm and into the gastronomic world with the introduction of a Wilco-themed brew and sandwich shop. The Sky Blue Sky Sandwich Company Ltd. in Toronto offers sandwiches named after Wilco songs including Side With The Seeds, which contains slices of thick cheddar and caramelized onions, slathered in saucy roasted tomatoes between two slices of cheese bread. A Wilco-themed beer also came out this week with the announcement of Lagunitas Brewing Company's Wilco Tango Foxtrot brew - described as a [...]
Download : Band Of Horses - "Is There A Ghost?" Download : Band Of Horses - "The General Specific" Band Of Horses will be riding in to Minneapolis tonight in support of their second album, Cease To Begin , which was released early last month. Songs like the atmospheric and anthemic indie-rock of "Is There A Ghost?" (as well as their more country-influenced material) should definitely create an atmosphere of healing and easy-listening, as they describe themselves on their MySpace page, in the halls of [...]
It's starting to get cold outside and the leaves are beginning to turn. This inevitably means it's almost time for Halloween. This is one of our favorite holidays of the season and we (mostly Jake) cannot wait for this year's Halloween. As a treat rather than trick we have compiled a mix to help you get in the spirit of this ghastly holiday (cue scary laugh). Enjoy! The Evangelicals - The Halloween Song (mp3) There are plenty more mp3's after the jump...
My regular post Twelve Thursday Tunes is back from vacation with a lot of goodies. For our new readers, don't mix this up with the Theme songs about thursday, - these posts (=12TT) have absolutely NOTHING to do with Thursday other than that they usually are posted on a thursday. These are just twelve songs found somewhere on artists/labels/promo/magazine- sites that I want to share with you. Lots of great songs in this mix. Enjoy the music! Canonball Jane - Take it to fantastic (from promo agency) - Cool and very enjoyable underground electro [...]
If you enjoy some of the best alt rock/indie music that is coming out of the Pacific Northwest right now, then you have probably heard of Band of Horses . They came to the 9:30 Club not too long ago and I even featured them in one of my mixes. They have made the first single from their new album available for download and I have it here for you. Along with the new single, they have released the album artwork for their new CD Cease to Begin, which is set to be [...]
Band Of Horses are following up their debut, Everything All The Time , on October 9 with Cease To Begin . The sophomore album is coming out via Sub Pop and if it is anything like their last release, we think it will be huge. So until street date, cozy up with "Is There A Ghost," a track off the forthcoming record, and check them out live in September. "Is There A Ghost" MP3 Band Of Horses Live 09.02.07 - East Troy, [...]

First there was the pretty cover art and now the first track from Band of Horses upcoming album Cease to Begin has been released. It has been a while since I have listened to their previous album, but i think this song is a little louder than what I remember. Band of Horses "Is There a Ghost"
There have been a few changes since Band of Horses last Shortlist Prize entry for Everything All the Time. For starters, they moved from Seattle to Mt. Pleasant, S.C. to be closer to their families. There has also been a...
