Some things get old, but low slung soul funk vibes, edited or not, will always hold a place in my massive heart... made stronger by regular gym action and vigorous pumping. This edit has been floating about for a good while, but its a good vibe indeed, check out Earwig's soundcloud (a member of Shoes ) for more recent vibes... DOWNLOAD
Last year's Andyman Tribute Concert at the LC paid a great tribute to the dearly-missed Columbus icon. The show, featuring six of Andyman's favorite Columbus bands, was filmed and the resulting footage will be premiered tonight at Studio 35 Cinema and Drafthouse . Doors open at 9pm and tickets are $7 (all ticket sales go to Andyman-a-Thon charities). DVDs will be available at the premiere (and hopefully afterwards for those who can't attend) for $15.
Earwig Vaarthkapoen Bruxelles, Belgium 7/20/91 I had a request for this show a couple of months ago and I'm getting around to posting it. 2/3s of the band Earwig eventually became Insides who had a couple of fantastic releases on 4AD in the mid-90s. I have their early EPs on vinyl, but looking in my mp3 collection, I realized that I don't have them digitally, so no complete track listing. If you have the names of the tracks, I would love it if you posted them in the comments. [...]
If 2009 was the year of Larry Jon Wilson, 2010 was the year of Bill Fox and the Gibson Bros. I think I listened to Bill Fox's two reissued albums - Shelter from the Smoke and Transit Byzantium - more than anything else. ( Shelter got a deluxe vinyl reissue, and Scat promises a similar treatment for Transit in 2011.) Go get 'em . And working on a story about the Gibson Bros. reunion show back in July occupied my brainspace and held my interest for months. I [...]
Colin Gawel has a new Christmas EP out called I Still Love Christmas , available at his website and all the usual digital retailers. Title track ($1): You can also find Gawel's "Try a Little Faith" (featuring Marcy Mays of Scrawl) on A Very Ohio Christmas . Earwig is giving away the song "Next Christmas" off Lizard McGee and crew's 2010 release Gibson Under Mountain : I also noticed that Lizard is giving away an acoustic version [...]
Click here to view the embedded video. MP3: Earwig - Trees Every year around the holidays people in Columbus have rallied around Andyman Davis to raise money for CD101 for the Kids , and that hasn't changed now that Andyman is gone. In fact, Andyman's buddies from bands of Columbus past (and present) are stepping up to reunite for one night at the LC Pavilion just to raise money for CD101 for the Kids and the Andy Davis Memorial Fund . A [...]
Earwig knows how to kick off an album. "Trees," an obvious single, is a slow/fast/slow/fast, building rockpop fistpumper that's all hook and attitude. Earwig make music like it used to be in those buygone days of the 1990s. You know, shades of Soul Asylum, Nirvana, Muse, Dinosaur Jr. . . . Y'know why? 'Cause they're that Goddamn old! Their experience shows in their ability to craft solid rock songs, one after the other. And their street cred gets bonus points because they run their own label. It's seven bucks on bandcamp . Such a [...]

Here's the thing about Earwig , they've been nothing but consistent during the course of their long and storied history as part of the Columbus music scene. Anybody who has been following the band since the critically-acclaimed 1999 CD Perfect Past Tense (yes, I am well aware that this isn't the FIRST Earwig CD) knows what an Earwig CD is going to sound like probably even before Lizard McGee has started dreaming about his next batch of songs. And that's all cool, fool. The [...]
finally got my hands opn this cd comp of their first 3 eps, along with the second ep itself. just one more to go and i've got the set. anyway, this has all the tracks on except two i believe, for some odd reason. not listened to it yet, but i know it's going to be good! cd released by la-di-da in 1991. get.
after a 2-week break it's time to get back into the fray. and here's a mix that i've been tinkering with for a while now. if you're a last fm user and a fan of post rock, then you're probably aware of samuel macklin 's uk post rock group and therefore of the compilations he's been posting. in which case, here's my version. post rock, by definition, is hard to define, but i think the original premise of post rock as a genre was the idea of the rock song deconstructed. think of it as [...]
first of the three early eps from earwig, forerunner to the much-admired-in-certain-small- circles insides. sadly i haven't tracked down the other two, at least at a price i'm willing to pay right now... much thinner than the later womb-like insides, it has that almost harsh sound of early cocteau twins instead. and it's no worse off for it. 12" released by la-di-da in 1990. get.
glorious two-track 12"from earwig, with a remix of album track "every day shines" plus "i need feel". if you don't know earwig (and i'm talking about the brighton uk model) then you don't know life. 12" released by la-di-da in 1992. getttit.

Last time they played town was with Lucero and lots of bottles broke. Their new album (out yesterday) is starting to get some great reviews . Earwig is a Columbus institution. [...]

brighton duo insides came to prominence briefly in 1993 with the release of their debut album euphoria on 4ad offshoot guernica. they followed this up with the single track , 38 min album clear skin, before more or less falling off the planet, despite releasing a third album sweet tip, which drifted away from the velvety electronica into more jazz leanings. but before all this they were a trio called earwig, and were similarly blissful but with some delicious distortion added. that's a terrible description i know, so just download this instead, their one and only [...]

Earwig's still working it and HOLY CRAP is this remix of the fan favorite "Used Kids" nothing short of amazing. We love Earwig here at Donewaiting. I've said it once and I'll say it a million more times (if I say it 100 times a day, it'll only take me 27 or so years) Earwig's got a hearty meat-and-potatoes midwest indie rock sound so to hear this techno/danceclub take on the song ... damn, I NEVER would have seen that one coming. But here it is, the DJ Peter Carli (of XM radio) remix: [...]
