DOWNLOAD : Cavalier Rose - "Daytrotter Session" 1/16/10 (requires free registration) Here is how Daytrotter described Cavalier Rose's music: " Cavalier Rose make sounds that you must take loudly, ingest them as you would the roar of a thunderstorm pelting a roof and windows with a storm that is trying desperately to get into your house, to reach you and knock you out. " Cavalier Rose play a mix of sparse blues and atmospheric rock -- imagining a heavier version of the Cowboy Junkies should provide a good initial [...]

Rob has been pushing Brooklyn's Cavalier Rose hard for a couple of weeks. I listened today because of the obvious connection to my basketball team. Clevelanders have gone through the ringer over the last 48 hours; we're afraid that our Cavs are going to lose, badly. (We're more afraid of a certain soon-to-be free agent leaving town, but I'll leave our worst fears unsaid.) As I write, our fellows are down three after quarter one. The Clevelander in me is prepared for the worst, but there's a nugget of optimism in my Earnest-Bynered sports fan [...]

The first track and recommendation is for Cavalier Rose. This newly minted band out of Brooklyn has something that you don't get much from me - a bit of energy. Okay...its kind of a dirty, downtown basement club energy. This is not an insult in any way - this is the stuff you dig your teeth into. I mean I admit I like the toned down side of CR (so from what I hear, I cannot see them live as the show is supposed to be pretty loud!!) but there is still something about Heather Christian's vocals taunting you to [...]
There's this edge to Cavalier Rose that I can't quite put my finger on with "Atom Bomb." The song swirls and twists and builds; Heather (the band's spark plug lead singer) builds along with it, voice trembling and soaring all at once while the band grinds out jagged space noise behind her. She sounds like [...]

finally the second compilation for the lemonjohn-blog is finished! it's always a great pleasure for me digging in the neverending creativity-garden to filter out 12 tracks from the past few months which i think you shouldn't have missed. i didn't search in order to get some tracks to survive a long party-weekend, but for a bunch of songs for the days when you can come to rest, and find some time to listen to music closely. artwork-design by elena anna rieser ...there's also the possibility to get one of the very [...]

Even though they're not officially in this week's mix, I highly recommend you go download those two tracks from Death On Two Wheels (previous post), and just DIY add them to the mixtape. It would make it a fuller, better rounded mix for certain. Otherwise, enjoy Tracklisting: Cavalier Rose - Painted Bird Cold War Kids - Audience Dawn Landes - [...]
New York's Cavalier Rose have recorded a session for Daytrotter. The band is seen here showcasing their heavy rock sound that finds itself infused with soul vocals and crunchy giutar riffs. The band recorded four songs, three of them unreleased and one featured on their... Click the link to read more

In one corner, we've got Brooklyn Bands: perpetually avant-garde, constantly discussed and often full of hot air. In another corner, we've got Bands from Brooklyn Who Are Not Brooklyn Bands. And it's in this second corner that we find Cavalier Rose . The quartet's been around about a year with fairly little dust kicked up thus far, but they bring up a name/influence that we haven't heard tossed around much lately—Janis Joplin. Lead howler Heather Christian wails like a banshee on the band's slowly-marching bluesy dirges. Though the band's [...]
I highly recommend everyone check out the band Cavalier Rose. You can head over to their Myspace page to check out their amazing songs and then head over to their official website to download their EP Primary Colors for free! If you're in the NYC are tomorrow, they're playing Club NME at the Annex at 10:15 pm. You won't regret it.
Let's talk about the weather. The weather is one of those things that holds universal fascination for almost everyone above the age of ten. Put two strangers in a room and even if they have absolutely nothing else in common, they will be able to discuss the weather for at least a couple of minutes - more if the weather has been especially hot, cold, wet, windy or dry. For whatever reason, the weather is endlessly interesting to everybody (especially old people). Personally, I can't even leave the house in the morning without first checking the weather. I [...]
