mat brooke is back with his band grand archives , and a new record that is due out on subpop on 9.15 entitled keep in mind, frankenstein . mat, if you remember, used to be in carissa's wierd and band of horses, before forming grand archives in in 2006. for those looking for a re-hashed band of horses or carissa's wierd, look elsewhere, cause grand archives have their own distinct sound that is nothing like the aforementioned groups. i was a big fan of their first one, and by all accounts it sounds like this one [...]
It's no surprise that Sub Pop has been able to stay atop the game as one of the leading independent record labels since its inception. To this day they continue to release albums that always matter; let's just say that the label is known for its good taste. They're here to offer you a brand new sampler full of songs that you can get later this year, such as a track from Grand Archives, or songs you should already own this year. Grab yourself a copy of this fresh new [...]
Alissa Anderson If you're looking to establish your country-rock credentials, you could do far worse than get tapped to be the backing band for once-and-future Jayhawk Gary Louris on his solo ventures. And it was in that role that San Francisco-based outfit Vetiver came to the attention of many in 2008, even though they were hardly wet behind the ears newcomers, with their 2009 release Tight Knit their fourth long-player. But if you come to the Vetiverse - their own clever term, not [...]
Tonight we have our second Tympanogram concert experience with a band hailing from our own neck of the woods. We'll have our info up about that either over the weekend or early next week. For today, as you have surely seen, we've talked about music on the television show Chuck but I don't believe we have mentioned many other shows. Today we are giving mention to a longtime favorite that has a history of excellent music use as well. I've been watching the show Scrubs pretty much since it began. I was in college at the time it [...]
Förra året fick de ställa in sin planerade Way Out West-medverkan på grund av att de inte fick det att gå ihop ekonomiskt. När de nu besöker Sverige för att göra alla som blev besvikna på grund av det, verkar det se bättre ut. Det blir nämligen tre spelningar med Seattle-bandet lett av Mat Brooke som tidigare var med i skäggrockarna Band of Horses. När och var? 21 april - Stockholm, Debaser Slussen 22 april - Göteborg, [...]
As the economy sags, it's nice to know that there is at least one good deal in town. Broken Social Scene played a massive, well over two hour set, keeping the crowd bobbing and dancing until the very end. In a night of so many highlights, it's hard to single them out. It was just fun to watch the band trading instruments and leads, obviously feeding off the crowd's high energy and clearly enjoying playing with each other. At various points there were four guitars and a bass on stage all contributing to their [...]
Do you prefer fires or foes to be friendly? Your tigers mini or republic? Your Sebastiens with or without the acute accent (é)? Confused? You're not the only ones. For as many bands as we listen to on a daily basis and try to keep neat and organized in the muddled recesses of our brains , from time to time we can't help but become hopelessly and utterly confused between similarly named artists. But it doesn't have to be that way! Below, we countdown our top 10 mental stumbling blocks and try to assess the subtle [...]
I'm not sure what's going on over at Boxstr, but once again, uploading to them is just not happening for the second time this week. It's frustrating to say the least.

Ah, my year end list. Late as usual. Have to keep with tradition right? 2008 was an odd year musically for me. With my life getting twice as busy as my record label started taking off, I found myself having less and less time to search for and consume new music, and instead did something I hadn't done in years. Actually enjoyed albums for more than two days. Last year I had a solid top five that I turned to over and over, with the rest of the list being entirely interchangeable. This year, I can say my top 10 [...]
It's high time we start our SXSW 2009 coverage. We've quietly been updating our SXSW 2009 band list page and, in case you weren't reading last year, most of our coverage focuses on day parties that don't require a badge and serve free beer (because that's where we'll be). Sub Pop tipped us off about their SXSW 2009 lineup for Thursday March 19th, but the location hasn't been specified. Here are the bands that will be in attendance with Sub Pop and a few mp3's to sample. Handsome Furs Daniel Martin [...]

Lumberjack Rock
Chris B's Schmindie News Roundup and it's ensuing comments lit a fire under me to write this little blurb I've been meaning to get out for a while. While some, Chris B included, may feel this way: I'm regularly asked to define schmindie, so, to me, schmindie is boring indie rock that gets the benefit of the doubt because it's "indie". Generally, if it has guys with beards and/or acoustic guitars, you're probably going to need to wake me when it's over. I tend to disagree. I totally love me some [...]

Noise for the Needy shouldn't throw the word "noise" around
When I hear the word noise I think of bands like AIDS Wolf or Lightning Bolt, acts that construct tables with contact mics on the board and then distort the hammering and screwing. You know, something at least somewhat noisy? Granted, I don't know EVERY band on the bill for the upcoming Noise for the Needy shows in Seattle, Washington ; however, the ones I do know I would not classify as "noise." On the other hand, Noise for the Needy IS a charitable organization trying to do good in the world, so [...]

SXSW 2009 in Review
South By Southwest (SXSW) wrapped up March 22 with it's final shows. Here's a recap of some note worthy performances.

Derictor's Commentary
Today's video is for a song from last year from Sub Pop's Grand Archives , whose members come from Band of Horses by way of Carissa's Wierd and from...well you can read all about the indie band's royal lineage here . Little known fact, the llamas ( alpacas? ) are looking at band members and thinking what unusual creatures they are and vice versa. Littler known fact, the kid and his facial expressions grew up to be Arsenio Hall. Nonsense aside, this an adorable vid and song. [...]

Review: Grand Archives - Grand Archives
So there once was a little band from Seattle called Carissa's Wierd but they broke up, like, a while ago. When that happened, two of the ex-members (Mat Brooke and Ben Bridwell) formed a group we think is totally aces called Band Of Horses while another ex-member ( Sera Cahoone ) started a solo career. Perhaps you have heard of 'em? Anyhow, Mat Brooke evidently didn't want to be a Horse in a Band anymore so he started a new group called Grand Archives which also features a guy who used to be in [...]
