On February 5th, Ladyfinger (ne) will release their new album, Errant Forms , their third full-length and third album working with producer Matt Bayles (Mastodon, Minus the Bear, and Isis). The band have released “Dark Horse” as the album’s lead single. Singer Chris Machmuller explains that the new song, “is [...]
I must apologize for the amount of time I spent transcribing this interview, but this found itself to be one of the most difficult transcriptions I have ever done and I contemplated not bothering. However, Little Brazil is a fantastic band and there were some really great answers provided in this interview that I couldn’t allow it to just get buried. At this point, I’m sure you’re wondering what happened. Little Brazil ’s guitarist Greg Edds and I left the venue in search of a quiet spot to conduct [...]
De rauwere rockers lijken de laatste jaren bij het Omahase label Saddle Creek een beetje het onderspit te moeten delven. De laatste Cursive was bijvoorbeeld echt niet wat wij er van gehoopt hadden. En ook Ladyfinger (Ne) kan helaas met...
I'm starting to run out of stuff to talk about for these FF lead in's. *ponders* It finally rained here after 2 months. *thinks* Going to Europe for two weeks soon, so, any suggestions bars, bands, sites in the UK and Germany are appreciated. Unfortunately, that means the fix will be on vacation for two weeks (maybe) as well, depending on time and internet access! Ladyfinger (ne) - Little Things (2009, Omaha, Nebraska) Any readers out there from Omaha? Perhaps you can answer why such great bands come from there? Does [...]
Be sure you get to your indie record shop for Record Store Day today. I've already went once, and might go back again (not to buy per se, just to watch bands). I was at Ear X-Tacy as soon as the doors opened this morning, along with maybe 10-15 others. While there was a lot I wanted to get, a limited budget kept me from indulging. Then again, not matter what my budget was, I wouldn't have been able to afford everything I wanted - both RSD exclusives and the normal stuff. [...]
Cursive will release a split 103 picture disc with label mates Ladyfinger (ne) in honor of the second annual Record Store Day on April 18th via Saddle Creek . This limited edition vinyl - only1,500 copies printed - will include "From The Hips" from Mama, I'm Swollen and "Universal Shrug", a fan favorite from the band's shows last spring, recorded during the Mama sessions and previously unreleased. Full track listing is as follows: A-Side: Cursive 1. From The Hips 2. [...]
Cursive is quickly following up it's fine new album, Mama I'm Swollen , with a split 103 picture disc. Fellow Saddle Creek labelmates Ladyfinger (ne) will take the flip side with one track off its latest, Dusk , and an unreleased song. The joint venture is in honor of the second annual Record Store Day on April 18. Cursive's side will feature it's latest single, "From the Hips", as well as an unreleased track from its most recent studio sessions called "Universal Shrug." The pressing is limited to 1,500 copies. Record stores participating in the [...]
Ethan Jones , ex bassista della Post Punk band Faint , Pat Oakes , Chris Machmuller e Jamie Massey , in una parola: Ladyfinger (Ne) , band statunitense che si è fatta conoscere al grande pubblico con il loro primo album “Heavy Hands”, datato 2007, e grazie al quale sono stati sempre di più apprezzati dai fanatici del rock duro e pesante. Dopo due anni ci riprovano, facendo uscire il loro secondo lavoro, “Dusk”, prodotto dalla Saddle Creek. A differenza del primo album, “Dusk”, è un lavoro meno macchinoso, [...]
Cursive frontman Tim Kasher continues his graphic storytelling on sixth album Mama, I’m Swollen, out this week on Saddle Creek. He keeps it blunt and lyrically entertaining on the Omaha group’s moodiest LP yet, with song themes ranging from masturbation to tales starring Pinocchio. Kasher is guest editing magnetmagazine.com all week. Read our Q&A with [...]
When I first listened to Ladyfinger (ne) ’s Dusk all the way through, I disliked it. Now, I always give a record a second chance because some need time to grow on you properly. Still, some are rotten regardless of the time that passes. It’s hard to tell. Dusk is doing the former and is growing on me with each listen. Generally, my reason for an initial aversion to a good record is complexity; there’s too much to grasp on the first listen, and for what [...]
Cincinnati's Pomegranates announced plans to release their sophomore album, Everybody, Come Outside!, this week. Lujo Records will release the band's album on April 14th. Pomegranates have gained a reputation for a wild live show and for crafting unique pop melodies. Everybody, Come Outside! is a conceptual album of sorts, weaving an interesting tale of a man who leaves home, only to be abducted by a time traveler. Each of the 11 tracks of Everybody, Come Outside! add to the mystique, as well as reveal a bit more about this [...]
*MP3: Ladyfinger - "Over and Over" *MP3: Ladyfinger - "Let's Get Married" Omaha's Ladyfinger mix the guitar tones and carnal energy of "Burst and Bloom" era Cursive with the riffy-ness and vocal inflections of modern Minus the Bear. The record is solid start-to-finish, however, "Let's Get Married" and "Over and Over" are the stand-out tracks on the record that bring me back to solid mid-90s depresso rock. Ladyfinger's "Dusk" is now out on Saddle Creek Records and available on iTunes here . [...]
As far as i'm concerned, this week's releases begins and ends with The Pains of Being Pure at Heart's debut. I've been pretty vocal about how great this band is over the past year or so, and after several singles and EPs, this album doesn't disappoint in the slightest. You won't hear a better pure indiepop album this year, so I recommend you pick this one up immediately. If you want to get a little more familiar with the band, read the interview I did with them a couple [...]
All that matters this week is that The Appleseed Cast is back with their seventh album, Sagarmatha . You've got to give a band credit for being together for 11 years! But it wouldn't be too fair if we laid all of the attention on them, even if we have been listening to them since Mare Vitalis struck us nine years ago. There's lots of other great artists out this week, including the forgotten Fatboy Slim . Sure, Norman Quentin Cook is 46, but he's still rockin the [...]
Not too bash on individuality, but upon hearing the first 10 seconds of leading track, "Over and Over", I couldn't help but make parallels to the Foo Fighters , at least melodically. Ladyfinger (ne) , a hard-hitting quintet out of the Midwest, drops Dusk , their sophomore album, on February 3rd. Despite its heavy adrenaline-driven facade, Ladyfinger (ne)'s lead singer Chris Machmuller 's vocals are quite unique, and have a tendency to gather emotion quickly and effortlessly,which separates his voice from the remainder of noise emanating from Dusk . [...]

Ladyfinger (ne) - Dusk Release date: Feb 3, 2009 [ amazon.com ] Featuring the faux-vinyl circular wear that I've seen on a dozen layouts but can only name one . Maybe I should stop eating General Tso's before bed and my memory will be much sharper.
