Washed Out puns ruled the night as the rain came down by the bucket load. The drainage holes in the east side wall of The Mohawk couldn't keep up and the patio turned into a shallow pool. I have to give it up for these fans, they stayed, they got soaked to the bone and they had fun. Dog Bite was able to avoid the weather with their opening set, while Memoryhouse had to play through [...]

THIS WEEK'S BEST BET: Manchester Orchestra w/ Chris Staples Friday, February 24 The Earl - 466 Flat Shoals Avenue in Atlanta 30316 SOLD OUT! It took me a while to work my way into Simple Math , the third full-length from hometown heroes Manchester Orchestra . My initial reaction was one of disappointment because it seemed to lack the ramshackle pace and sonic heft of their breakthrough LP, Mean Everything to Me . The melodies were certainly there, bold and anthemic, and it [...]

It's official, Atlanta's Balkans announced their split-up via Facebook yesterday. They didn't mention any reason, but I think it's pretty clear. All the boys are very young and still have to find out where life's taking them. Balkans was a huge step for everyone into the business and into whatever. What will the future bring? Stanley has very ambitious plans to get in the fortune 500 list, Brett probably starts a career in modeling. But more important Woody and Frankie remain to the music. Woody is now playing in a new band called Dog Bite featuring [...]
Dog Bite : Prettiest Pills No sooner have The Shins announced their return, with Real Estate following closely behind in the sleepyhead guitar-pop stakes, when a newer act with loftier ambitions arrives: Dog Bite . Following on from a mini-album released last year with Young Turks, ' Prettiest Pills ' relies on old-school production techniques to help make the sweeping layers of guitar become more prominent. And each nonchalant breath that the vocalist takes settles perfectly within this entangling web of reverb-laden guitar hooks. Imagining a full album's [...]

Morrissey @ Coachella 2009 ( more by Darren Kim ) "Morrissey sustained hand and arm injuries recently after being attacked by a dog in England. Morrissey has attended hospital in Malmo (Sweden) where x-rays reveal a fractured index finger on his right hand. The cracked bone is at the tip of the finger. The injury will not affect upcoming shows. Morrissey is delighted with the news that tickets for the London Palladium sold out in five minutes." [ True To You, July 11, 2011 ] On August 25th [...]

Brittany Bosco has impeccable timing. Just a day ago, $ulaiman and I mentioned the singer and pondered when she'd release a new project. It's hard to believe it has been two years since Bosco released Spectrum , an EP the Blind I camp bumped for quite some time! Now, she's back with a new look (hello, blonde!) and a new sound courtesy of Dogbite, a member of the chillwave band Washed Out. I happen to be a huge fan of Washed Out so this is a [...]

Dog Bite - Machino Machino The good thing about having friends who have good taste and who love music is they get excited to share their finds with you. So when I checked twitter this morning to find a tweet from Katie telling me she had something for me that I was gonna love. Well 15 seconds into this I knew it was love upon first listen. The repetitive groove, the bounce and the shimmering acceso thump that screams of productivity and joy. via katiepierce : [...]

Brainfeeder's Matthewdavid continues his promotional push behind his International EP with some crazy-nice visuals for the title-track. Any by crazy-nice, I mean completely insane, distorted, and trippy. You know, kind of like the track itself. I'm not really sure what's going on behind all the white noise in the video, but one thing's for sure: "International" is one hell of a track. From Dogbite's woozy, hypnotizing vocals to Matthewdavid's jazz-explosion production, it's just noisy bliss. Hit the skip for the video.
Tame Impala made rock n' roll cool again. They were stripped down, had the balls of a bull and still managed to tell stories, more importantly they managed to tell believable ones. It seems Natural Child have entered the scene with their self-titled EP at the perfect point then. Totaling at around 9 minutes if you blink, shut your ears or perhaps even think about something else for more than a moment it's likely you'll miss something. This is by no means a criticism, packed into this riff heavy, ballsy slice of rock n' roll is a world that Natural [...]

This track was released earlier this month and it has just lodged in my music library for some time now un-played. Finally gave it a good listen and I can't stop listening. Matthewdavid and Dog Bite fabricate a lucid lackadaisical bass filled head-bopper. Chimey melodies and reverby vocals, can't go wrong with this one. Instant feel good track. Matthewdavid - International ft. Dog Bite ___________ Bonus :: Here's a Dog Bite track off the imbalanced [...]

Scope the babe with the cool shades and the pet snake. she looks like someone I can relate to, or at least get some pet care advice from. This retro, bike-riding beauty isn't the subject at hand here, though. This is just the cover for the new Natural Child 7". I blogged some pretty grimy Nashville rock last week , and it seems these guys are in the same boat. They've got a new 7" out via Infinity Cat , and the song below is on it. The release features [...]
