Number Six Media recently had to move this Friday's show to Fubar . It features those whiskey drinkers Cutthroat Shamrock from Tennessee in a late-show. They like to be genre-pinned into the "Appalachian Celtic Punk" category. Below is a free download of their song," Hell's Shovel ". Also on the bill this Friday night is Drownfish . They have a harder-folk style. Speaking of them, they have this week's #VideoOfTheWeek! Below is " The Umbrella Song ". [...]

Day One at Psych Fest was pretty laid back, and I'm sort of grateful that the crowds haven't completely caught on to this unique festival; you have to go though because the people watching alone is worth the price! This was my first time to both venues , and I was rather impressed with both the sound and the set-up, so that bodes well for both venues as Austin's musical landscape moves into the future. Past the break, Brian and I will share some insight into bands that played [...]

[Photos by acidjack] As one of the anchors of the current Chicago scene, Disappears are a hard band to outshine. They headlined this night's Glasslands show featuring Lotus Plaza (that recording [ HERE ]) and the Brooklyn guitarist Noveller (that recording coming soon) the same way that they carried a previous show I attended with the startling Brooklyn band The Psychic Paramount: by being relentless, sharp and ready with an album's worth of killer new songs. At that earlier show, the band's new record Pre Language was unreleased. With the [...]

If you're not already firmly planted on the E+ bandwagon, it is time to reconsider that decision. Every time I listen a track by the spacey, psych-pop outfit - which features members of Disappears, Heavy Times and Verma - the quality gets better and better. E+ and Giant System lighting designer Aleks Tomaszewska's (Magic Key, Aleks + The Drummer) efforts merged during this performance of "Substance D" to create a powerful atmosphere where the music conjures faraway forces as pure white light and dark shadows dance around the band members for equally [...]

Sonic Youth drummer Steve Shelley joined Chicago's Disappears in late 2010, and if you're curious how that affects the band's sound, just listen to the new album, Pre Language . Shelley is an excellent complement to the driving guitar sound of Disappears. Play this album loud. If you're a fan of Bradford Cox , I'm pretty sure you'll really like Spooky Action at a Distance , the new album by Deerhunter guitarist Lockett Pundt's solo project Lotus Plaza . [...]

It makes complete sense that at their New Years Eve show at the Empty Bottle this past January that Disappears played a set that featured new songs and a number of covers from bands such as Joy Division, New Order, David Bowie, Suicide and The Stooges. Their latest release, "Pre Language," finds the band at their strongest in terms of songwriting. Each track is distinct in mood and feel - much like the aforementioned bands - and finds the Chicago noir-rockers putting more stock into their tones, textures and nuances, which results in [...]
On this edition of Audiography, we feature the latest in music news, reviews of albums by Fleming, Sinead O'Connor, A Liquid Landscape, Xerxes, and Disappears, and we talk with Kevin Barnes , the leader and creative force behind the psychedelic pop outfit of Montreal . Our discussion centers around his band's latest album, Paralytic Stalks , and Barnes' experimentation with composition, blending the influences of avante modern classical composers such as Ligeti and Partch, the addition of Zac Colwell and Kishi Bashi to the band, and his decision to write as himself rather than [...]

Il y a une vie après Sonic Youth, si discrète soit-elle. Le couple le plus célèbre du giron indépendant ayant décidé de jeter le bébé avec l'eau du bain, du moins pour le moment, et chacun vaquant à ses occupations - Thurston Moore, avec le récent Demolished Thoughts , retrouvant la foi en son nom propre et la gracilité pop tandis que sa désormais ex-femme, Kim Gordon, renoue avec les vertus de l'expérimentation tout en se lançant dans la mode par le biais de Surface to Air - les pointillés sont de rigueur lorsqu'il s'agit de dessiner un futur au groupe new-yorkais. Tout comme [...]
Filed under: News , Exclusive , RPM Big Hassle People Get Ready come from all over the musical map. Including members from David Byrne 's band and Yeasayer , the eclectic quartet is known to do full-on performance pieces during live performances, resulting in what they call a multisensory "mixtape." After releasing their first EP last fall, the band decided to remix the entire thing, and now you can hear [...]

Por Fernando Lopes Infelizmente, há um bocado de gente que não conhece o Disappears ainda. Vale uma pequena apresentação: é uma banda de Chicago, Esteites, liderada por Brian Case (guitarra e vocal), com Jonathan Van Herik (guitarra) e Damon Carruesco (baixo). Ela surgiu em 2008, idealizada por Case e pelo baterista Graeme Gibson , mas Gibson se desligou, logo depois do segundo disco, Guider , de 2011 – desligou-se amigavelmente. Pro seu lugar, acredite, a banda recrutou Steve Shelley , [...]
With Spring almost sprung, it's about time we have a song that makes us think about long road trips and warm sunshine. Enter, Disappears . The group's new video for its single "Replicate," matches the song's tight hypnotic rhythms to images of cruising through downtown Chicago and light dancing on top of rippling water. You can almost hear the freedom of the road calling your name.

Disappears Pre-Language Kranky Even if we are to consider Disappears' 2011 release, Guider to be their krautrock album (And really, when the entire B-side is taken up by an ode to krautrock pioneers, Neu!, there's no other way to slot it), and Pre-Language, and its emphasis on negative space and repetition as their post-rock album, this Chicago quartet have always delivered a consistent, if not always invigorating mix of post-punk, psychedelic rock, and krautrock, tweaking the dosage of these three base elements from one release to the next, while never straining [...]
