Day one was the easy day. You managed to arrive (maybe you managed to the night before, odds aren't that way though) and you enjoyed your first night. You'd set up your tent (Oh, did we forget to mention to set up the tent before you head to the festival? If not, we should have, doing it in the pitch black lit only by sparse lamps and headlights may not have been smart), and you may have been a little cold. But you now know to huddle and drink enough to keep warm. Today's really [...]

"It's better to be late than to never show up." That's what I said when I was accidentally late to an event last week because, well, I took a nap and woke up late. I was just covering up with an excuse then, but it also applies here and sounds more poetic. I'm late to Dry the River's music and their song, New Ceremony . I've been missing out. It reminds me of Mumford and Sons, or better, Frightened Rabbit sans Scottish accents and I guess that makes some sense as they are Londoners. New Ceremony [...]
True fans of music spend countless hours searching for that next great song, album or artist, whether it be online or in a local record shop. The beautiful thing about music in today's age is that technology has created an infinite supply of great music that is available to us at the click of a mouse. How perfect is that? We can discover a brand new artist on the opposite side of the globe in seconds without a radio or a music television channel. It only makes sense that a website so dedicated to this gorgeous universe of music would [...]
Dry the River have announced a tour of the UK for this autumn. Strike while the iron's hot, yes? The band perform at the Great Escape this week, making appearances at a secret VEVO show on Friday afternoon, followed by a performance at the Corn Exchange that night at 23.45. Tuesday 16th October 2012 - Cambridge Junction Wednesday 17th October 2012 - Portsmouth Wedgewood Rooms Thursday 18th October 2012 - Gloucester Guildhall Tuesday 23rd October 2012 - [...]
Filed under: Video of the Day Artist: Dry the River Video: "New Ceremony" Highlight: "It's a little different to our other videos in that it features people that can actually act," Dry the River tell Spinner. "Rather than us trying, and it's more of a conventional rock video, albeit one with weird scenarios -- props to Raul the director for the cool ideas. We shot it in one day in L.A. and it was a lot of fun watching the actors do [...]

Dry The River I've talked a fair bit about British folk-rock band Dry The River over the past few months, thanks in large part to their rousing performances at SXSW in Austin in March and their Toronto debut supporting Bowerbirds shortly thereafter , but unless you were at those shows or one of their others, you had to take my (and everyone else who's seen them's) word for it - though their debut debut album Shallow Bed was released in the UK at the start of [...]
London-based five-piece Dry the River are garnering all sorts of plaudits for their debut long-player Shallow Bed. Combining gentle, meadowy folk with grandiose post-rock wig-outs, seasoned with a peppery gothic tang, their sound simultaneously nods to decades past, whilst achieving a fresh slant on a number of styles which were in danger of becoming parodies of themselves. In an attempt to convey their sound in writing, all sorts of comparisons have been made, chiefly to contemporary populist folk revivalists Mumford and Sons ; much the same point can be made by [...]
Underage Festival , which takes place at Shoreditch Park in London August 31st, just announced its first acts: BIGKids , Dry The River , Fixers , Iceage , Maverick Sabre , Outfit , Pulled Apart By Horses , Rustie , Spector , Summer Camp , and Theme Park .

Dry The River – Shallow Bed (RCA) A época, a origem inglesa, e o estilo musical folk alternativo que formam o Dry The River levam a uma quase obrigatória e injusta comparação a uma das principais bandas com essas características: Mumford & Sons . Injustiça porque o debut da banda liderada por Pete Liddle é bem trabalhado, não merecendo ficar à sombra de outros. É bem verdade que o Dry The River soa como uma mistura de coisas que você já ouviu. Os arranjos crescentes com paradas [...]

Beats Per Minute Most tours follow some sort of logical routing anchored around major markets, festivals, what have you. Reunion tours are usually even moreso, what with their main motivation - or at least one of them - being to maximize revenue rather than build audiences (unless of course you're the Pixies, in which case your motivation is to play ever single market ever). So it's been equally frustrating and exciting to try and figure out what The Jesus & Mary Chain would do next. After calling it a day following 19982s [...]

Facebook If you accept that Damon Albarn is speaking truth and that these are the end times for Blur , you have to admit they're doing it right. They've got their August 12 date at Hyde Park in London earmarked as the swan song, a lovely new (final) single in "Under The Westway" in the can and ready to surely top the charts one last time, and before they go, they're clearing out the archival cupboards well and proper. On July 31, to mark the 21st anniversary of their debut [...]

It's a big week for music in a number of ways - Record Store Day and Coachella are both this weekend (actually an unprecedented Weekend 2 at Coachella) as well as our favorite new singles from Best New Releases of the week. A great way to kick-off this playlist mix is with Maps & Atlases' [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe
All the bands we think you should listen to this week have at least one thing in common with another on the list. 1 - Thery're British (therefore automatically awesome). 2 - It's been too long since we've had new material from them. 3 - They have math rock tendencies. 4 - New, poppier songs are not what we're used to hearing from them. 5 - They're just basically awesome all around. Can you tell which is which? [...]

Gabriel Bruce I'm no fan of the deluxe reissue trend - at least not with respect to an album that came out less than a year ago - as it tends to punish the biggest fans, those who would have bought the original issue and most want whatever bonus materials are applied to the reissue. So while I don't greet the news that Emmy The Great is doing this with last year's Virtue - one of my faves of 2011 - I at least appreciate that some [...]
