One of my favorite new bands that I saw during SXSW 2010 was a little band, with some obvious country roots, based out of Athens, GA, called Futurebirds . I do have a thing for Athens bands. There's a very low-fi quality to this band's music that draws from the previously mentioned country roots, while bluegrass runs thick, and guitars wander into sonic washes. The band has a previously recorded EP floating around in limited edition and available digitally on their Bandcamp page, as well as their upcoming label debut Hampton's Lullaby to be released [...]
The Futurebirds will release their debut LP on July 13th. Photo by Alyssa DeHayes It's been a while since we went through the mailbag to pull out some great music from bands you probably never heard of, but we think you might just want to. The long-running, and fairly popular, mixtape series, In Dee Mail, is [...] Related posts:IRC Month in Review: January 2010 - In Dee Mail, One Man Bands, Band of the Week, New Releases and More Omaha's Indie Folk Pop Sextet Thunder...

The Futurebirds play the kind of off-kilter, psychedelic and slightly ramshackle country rock that MM likes. A lot. Having released a freely available self-titled 6 track EP, they are now readying their debut album Hampton's Lullaby (out July on Autumn Tone Records ). We're looking forward to acquainting ourselves fully with the record and check out advance track Johnny Utah to see why. Until then, go get the EP here . Visit their MySpace here .

Right after SXSW this year, I kept a keen eye on my Twitter feeds to see what bands were loved, hated, obsessed over and caught the biggest buzz. One that sneaked into my radar and apparently sneaked under most was the Futurebirds. I'm a big fan of Aquarium Drunkard so it would make sense [...]

Futurebirds, the hazy lo-fi alt-country outfit from Athens, GA are set to release their debut LP, Hampton's Lullaby , on July 13th via Autumn Tone Records. They've offered up an mp3 called "Johnny Utah." If you weren't paying attention to HearYa back in January , you may not have known that the band's self produced EP is available as a free download here . We caught them at an outdoor set on the coldest SxSW day in history and they killed it. The lead singer wore sweet moon boots and hats and glasses were rocking [...]

[mp3] Futurebirds: "Johnny Utah" It's been a quick rise to prominence for this Athens, GA band in the Stark camp. This "unruly band of boys" fly the country rock flag high, but make sure that flag is dirty, full of holes, and viewed through a sufficiently boozy psyched-out haze. Falling somewhere between The Band and early My Morning Jacket, the songs on Futurebirds' excellent debut album Hampton's Lullaby are tastefully laced with weeping pedal steel and mandolins, and imbued with a distinct flair for well-crafted and efficient melodies. Yet, [...]

In the span of 48 hours I managed to catch five Futurebirds shows during SXSW: the band's official showcase, several day parties and a crazed, impromptu, house party somewhere off South Congress. These guys are, in a word, the truth. As I mentioned last Fall, Futurebirds inhabit a space somewhere in between Tennessee Fire era [...]
