One of the biggest beefs leveled against this year's SXSW was the continuing trend of big name acts muscling in on what started as an indie event. (cough cough Kanye) For that reason, and in keeping with our policy of championing the underdog, we'll be sharing some of SXSW's unsung heroes over the next couple weeks. First up is Tereu Tereu , a DC-based progressive rawk trio who overcame illness and a crappy early afternoon timeslot to light a fire under MOKB's The Glitter Taco Smoosh Party at SXSW, both on their own, and as [...]
Washington's Carol Bui describes her music as "some kind of rock, pop, afrobeat, shaabi hybrid" and I couldn't think of a better way to describe it. It's a mixed collection of great sounds all rolled up into one. Bui is part sweet and part kick your ass. Her music will make you get up and move, whichever way you want to. She's fresh from rocking out at SXSW and will be making her way to Richmond in support of her newest album "Red Ship." She'll be playing a [...]
My first band of the day, and of SXSW, was Ponderosa at the Paste Party but I missed my photo opp. Ponderosa were good old fashioned, southern rock, a good start to the day and a nice introduction to Texas. Next, I headed to the DC Does Texas party where after years of hearing her [...]
I'm leaving for SXSW tomorrow (or today depending on when you read this), so it's time to play a little catch up with The Drake . -ed. Drake's Take: New Releas 03.08.11 In past years, the second Tuesday in March has a big one for releases, coming in advance of SXSW and Spring Breaks, but we're left with merely a tidy stack to choose from. There's still to be pleased with, though, counting another release from the reunited Buffalo Tom , and the latest from Elbow . [...]
In past years, the second Tuesday in March has a big one for releases, coming in advance of SXSW and Spring Breaks, but we're left with merely a tidy stack to choose from. There's still to be pleased with, though, counting another release from the reunited Buffalo Tom, and the latest from Elbow. I've just started listening to the well received latest from Kurt Vile, and am also enamored. Elsewhere there's new releases from Wye Oak, R.E.M., Beth Ditto, Ringo Deathstar and the soundtrack to the Haruki Murakami adapted Norwegian Wood , by Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood. [...]

I probably don't need to introduce Tacoma's Carol Bui to the MOKB faithful. Feels like we've been stalking her for years now, following her musical, drumming and dance undertakings as she's swapped one coast for the other. And though we're still sitting on our hands waiting for the March 8th release of the powderkeg that is her new Red Ship record, we're positively giddy that Carol and her pals in Tereu Tereu will be rolling into Austin just in time for MOKB’s [...]
TJ Lipple-produced third album “Red Ship” set for March 8 th release via artist’s own Ex Oh label. +++ +++ PLAY, POST & SHARE [...]
Carol Bui looks hot and sounds hot, in a 1990s postpunk alt/rock kinda way. But amidst all the punk you'll hear world beats-like MIA meets Liz Phair. "Red Ship" is Bui's third album. Mira You're Free With Me
Tacoma, Wash.'s Carol Bui took up the drums and Middle Eastern dance since releasing sophomore LP Everyone Wore White in 2007, and both interests have influenced her new album, Red Ship, which is out March 8 on her Ex Oh label. Bui provided the percussion on all nine of the LP's tracks, which definitely have [...]
Welcome back, kiddos! Most music industry folks turned off their laptops over the holiday break, meaning we didn't have much new music to fill our last two weekly mixtapes. But with everyone now back online and our inbox once again overwhelmed with quality new sounds, we return the first Friday of a January 2011 with a mix that'll surely make up for the last two weeks. Below, you'll find this week's best new singles and remixes, Cover Me 's favorite new covers, and a batch of mp3s from up and comers you just might want to check out. Contributing [...]
Some songs just come at you like a bulldozer and all you can do is stand there, take it, and ask for more. “‘Geisha’ Means ‘Open Minded’” by Carol Bui is one such song. That's really I that is needed to be said about how bad-ass this song is, but because I love the sound of my own voice (yes, I'm reading this aloud as I type), I'm going to say more. Bui is set to [...]
Tacoma, Washington’s Carol Bui took up drums and Middle Eastern dance over the years since her last album, and these new pursuits play vital roles on Bui’s upcoming third record Red Ship. The album is set for release on March 8th, 2011 on Bui’s own Ex Oh Records and while she has yet to be approached to blog about Middle Eastern Dance, Bui recently discussed being a new percussionist with Modern Drummer HERE . Like Red Ship’s lead single “Mira: You’re Free With Me” released last November, the new track “‘Geisha’ Means ‘Open-minded’” is a festive, [...]
It's been a long time coming, but Carol Bui's new record will finally become reality in 2011. Red Ship , which will be carrying Bui's own Ex Oh Records imprint, has received an official release date. Are you ready? Write it down. March 8th. Subsequently, we can now officially start Xing off days and setting aside a little of that hard-earned. Of course, because we're never satisfied, we're still holding out for rumored spring tour dates (and perhaps an SXSW show) with Tereu Tereu, but while we [...]
“...culturally unique and universal, beautiful and harrowing, frequently within a single song...” – My Old Kentucky Blog +++ +++ [...]
We are currently in a holding pattern, patiently waiting for the March 8th release of Carol Bui's third full-length, Red Ship . After that, it sounds like CB will be trading in her dancing shoes for a while, as she swears (cross her heart and hope to die) that she will be out on the road supporting the record throughout March and April with pals, D.C. post-punks Tereu Tereu , serving as her backing band. Seeing as how Red Ship will be [...]
