Thursday night The Horseshoe was packed for a Dine Alone records extravaganza featuring Dinosaur Bones . It was their fourth birthday, aw. Starting with a burst of energy perhaps still lingering from Young Rival's set, the quintet played songs from 2010's Birthright EP, 2011's My Divider and a few yet-to-be-released new songs. On display immediately was the band's professionalism, precision and skill. They have a stadium pop-rock (think The Stills, Muse) quality that was surprising to hear at The Horseshoe (it's up to you whether you think that's [...]

And now three reasons to pop on over to the Beat Kitchen this evening... 1. Chicago's Unicycle Loves You have a solid garage-pop foundation, but their 2010 LP, Mirror, Mirror , found them dabbling in electronics and '80s new wave. Just recently, however, the group released a new track, " Sun Comes Out (And I Don't Care) ," from their upcoming 2011 release, Failure . The song features a lo-fi organ melodies and a bonafide guitar boogie and is a promising taste of what's to come. [...]

Toronto's Dinosaur Bones played to a packed show at Mavericks on October 7, 2011. They were the second opener for New York's Ra Ra Riot . I've seen Dinosaur Bones various times when they come to Ottawa. It was good a fit for them to open up for Ra Ra Riot. Rob Janson ( Sandman Viper Command ) filled in for Dave Wickland who happened to be at some wedding. Overall it was a great set. [...]

WHITE ORANGE - DINOSAUR BONES from made in china records on Vimeo. Straight off their performance at Doe Bay Portland's White Orange know how to write fuzzed out faux-psychedelic rock and roll that will put you in a trance if the neurons in your brain don't harbor the proper GPS devices to weather the storm.

Por lo regular en esta seccion me he dedicado a recomendarles proyectos llenos de mucho noise, o con un sonido mucho mas oscuro asi que hoy decidi traerles una banda que esta muy alejada de todo eso y en lugar de sintetizadores y voces que se pierden en las atmosferas, usan guitarras y voces un poco mas fuertes. Como sea, Dinosaur Bones es una banda compuesta por 5 integrantes proveniente de Ontario Canada y su sonido esta muy enfocado en lo que eran las bandas que comenzaron a surgir en los 90' e incluso tienen por ahi un poco del [...]
No shortage of good music coming out of Portland these days, and it almost seems as though sludge-rockers White Orange were the only local band not invited to showcase their considerable talents at PDX Pop Now! 2011 . The quartet's self-titled debut drops on September 17th, and thanks to a copious amount of lead time, I've been playing the hell outta the record, riding the molten grooves into the endless psychedelic beaches of Neverafter. And doing it loudly, to boot. A little too aggressive for the pure stoner [...]
New York indie rockers Ra Ra Riot have mapped out on an extensive leg of North American tour dates behind last year's LP The Orchard . Featuring a slew of stops in both Canada and the U.S, in addition to appearances at DeLuna Fest and DeLuna Fest , the trek will keep the band on the road through the end of November. Check out the band's complete touring itinerary below. Also, Ra Ra Riot recently recorded a recorded a three-song session with LaundroMatinee . It took place [...]

by teepoo If you didn't get enough of Dinosaur Bones at NXNE here's a video of them performing at NYC's BreakThru Radio . Great song, with even greater lyrics. I love that no matter where they perform, they always sound awesome.
The Legendary Horseshoe Tavern | Toronto, Ontario | June 18th 2011 | Full Set NXNE is a bit difficult to navigate- there are so many venues, so many amazing artists, and only a few days to experience everything. There was one band at the top of my list- Dinosaur Bones. I heard of them through a Montreal friend who was buddies with bassist Branko Scekic, and upon discovering their music... Damn . The band are [...]
The world hasn't heard much new music from Los Campesinos! since they announced the launch of their fanzine in December, but now CoS has the premiere of the Wales-based indie-pop collective's remix of Dinosaur Bones ' "N.Y.E.". And while Los Campesinos!'s reworking of the fourth track from Dino Bone's debut LP, My Divider , doesn't really stray too far from the original , it's still a really interesting listen. The rehashing turns down the track's drums and clamoring bass line and trades them in for a more [...]
