It's been nearly a year since Jess Matthews emerged with Fond Regards , the debut EP from her solo project, America Hearts . Simple and catchy, the EP introduced us to Jess' short and sweet songwriting, and familiarized us to her stepping out from behind the drum kit — the role she fulfills as a member of both Edie Sedgwick and Gestures. With Matthews leading on guitar and vocals, her America Hearts band is comprised of familiar D.C. music veterans, including Justin Moyer ( Edie Sedgwick , Antelope) currently on bass; Mark Cisneros (Medications, Gestures) on [...]
With South by Southwest the major deal this week for most music freaks, it is fitting, and not... Check out Indie Rock Cafe for more songs, artist and band profiles, playlists and videos.
Just a handful of (jam packed) shows under their belts but the city is a-flutter with excitement over the Midnight Kids . LouLou Ghelichkhani's beautiful vocals alternate between foil and perfect compliement to the swirling psych riffs her bandmates, culled from a refashioned Apes line-up, pound out. This month they released their debut EP on Bandcamp, you can grab download it for free from here . Tomorrow night, they'll return to the Black Cat, the spot where they first unleashed their dreamy sound to the world, supported by the ever dapper Casper Bangs [...]

Skylark mp3 Casper Bangs Rob Pierangeli's EP, Casper Bangs , the same name as he performs under, is awesome. What's even more awesome is that you can hear it all at his site over on his bandcamp page (and put some $ in the cup there too, eh?) The little wifey just walked into the room as I'm listening to this brilliant EP and said, "this reminds me of going to a college dance" and yeah, it does have a early 90's feel to it, doesn't it? Just [...]
Music in an old attic, it's all quite charming really.
I naively thought at this blog's inception that 100% of the bands that'd be featured would be bands that I love. No waffling – just the stuff I adore. But that didn't play out as I'd hoped. I mean, would you want to read about the same seven or eight bands over and over? Probably not. Hell, I don't want to. I sucked it up and in the name of diversity and 'expanding one's horizons' I opened [...]

I'm almost regretting the wording up there in the graphic. Fresh tracks? Sure. Quality? Perhaps. You make the call...similar to lingering at the fruit stand and looking through the bin for the perfect orange or apple. This one, maybe. This one, yes. To be clear, we think DC's Casper Bangs is f'n great. We think you'll feel the same way. Casper Bangs - Queen Of Hearts (Mp3) Casper Bangs - The [...]

Casper Bangs is doing just fine.
Casper Bangs (aka Rob Pierangeli ) is a local D.C. musician - he was the first of two openers for the Horrors when they played the Black Cat here in September . He plays enjoyable rock 'n' roll: his sound is rather refreshing on my playlists full of electronic music. Check out his single 'Queen of Hearts', one of two songs on a 73 available now from Washington's own Dischord Records . MP3: Casper Bangs - Queen of Hearts
Some of you may remember DC native Rob Pierangeli from the Hard Tomorrows, but since that band broke up he has been exploring other musical avenues. His new project Casper Bangs has been receiving a ton of buzz, and with good reason. He's combined a love of British-influenced indie rock with his knack for perfect pop hooks. Whitespace , a five song EP will be released on December 1st via Planaria and North Sea Records, while the full-length record, I Woke Up is due in early spring 2010. For live [...]
