There's no excuse to stay in this weekend, not even the weather – Noise Pop's weekend forecast is more great music, rain or shine. On Friday the exceptional pop arrangements of St. Vincent can be heard at the Great American. "Now now," before she charms your socks off will be That Ghost (Santa Rosa), the quirky sound scientist Rafter (San Diego), and Cryptacize (out of the East Bay – think Camera Obscura with a splash of Deerhoof). Here's a preview of what's to be of their [...]
Let's start off the week with a five song indie rock / folk selection: + Bon Iver 's autotunous single "Woods" is like that girl you see in your block, which looks like an ugly boy one day and a supermodel the next. Can't guarantee you'll like it but the autotuned "I'm up in the woods/ I'm down on my mind" lyrics are etched to my mind right now. + Dame Satan 's music is as good as the name. Beaches & Bridges was a great album that deserved a little [...]
[Hide the live chickens, Alice Cooper is celebrating a birthday today ...] Matt & Kim's latest album, "Grand" (released in January on Fader), is pretty lightweight stuff, but the duo [pictured] can charm an earflap beanie off a hipster and they always draw well in L.A. With the Mae Shi on the bill, the sold-out Troubadour should be party central (and there's a pizza party afterwards). ... Katy Perry admirer Little Boots , the "hotly tipped" (NME's words) dance-pop songstress from London, totes her [...]
auf den konzertplakaten findet sich der bandname noch eher im unteren drittel, dass heißt dame satan werden gerne mal als vorband verheizt (wer sich bezüglich des namens einen schädel macht, möge sich hier kurz umschauen). doch wenn das vor so illustren acts wie diane cluck, dead meadow oder beatbeat whisper passiert, kann man wohl auch mal zurückstecken. doch headliner touren haben die jungs aus san francisco ebenfalls hingelegt und so können sie sich auch angesichts einer im werden befindenden discography schon zu den etablierten ihres landstrichs zählen. ihre erste show boten [...]
2008 found a number of fantastic local albums seeing release (and one, Tartufi's Nests of Wave and Wire , seeing a delay that only means it will be my favorite album of 2009), and the best, by far, is Dame Satan 's Beaches and Bridges . It's a stunning, expansive album that swells and breathes, building on impressive vocal interplay and tasteful musicianship.

There's a great local lineup at Cafe du Nord this Saturday, Nov. 29 that will help you get through the post-Thanksgiving lull - Palms (i.e. Carolyn Pennypacker Riggs from The Finches), Skygreen Leopards and Dame Satan . We're not sure exactly what Palms has been up to since she took her project down to LA a few months ago, but we like what we hear so far: Download audio file (palms-natural-history.mp3) Palms [...]
